I watched part of an LFL game recently and was impressed by the skills of the players. Is LFL really much different to beach volleyball where the skimpiness of the outfits is mandated? Both are a sell out to TV and advertising and both demean women IMO. Yes, these women are fine athletes; can’t we appreciate them for that alone?

A coworker of mine went to one of their games out in Baltimore, Maryland, and he was actually surprised by the degree of hard-hitting going on during the game. He thought it was going to be women simply running around in skimpy outfits, but they were not only flying and doing open-field tackles, but they were blasting the opponents over the walls as well. He referred to it more like professional wrestling than a lingerie fashion show.

Why not have an all male cheerleader squad at LFL games? Wearing skimpy outfits and cheering on the heros seem to be the only role assigned to women in professional football.

“A Male ‘Y-front football league’ would surely provide just as interesting a spectacle and would certainly provide some balance, even if not in the same league as a ratings draw card.”

In fact, why shouldn’t there be an all nude male rugby team? Oh wait, whats that you say, there already is one, and nobody cares.

Comment on How To Fix an Overheating Laptop that Shuts Down Randomly by anthony gomez

this really works
How to fix this problem:

Dell does provide this documentation on ‘Removing the Processor Thermal-Cooling Assembly‘. All you need is a phillips head screwdriver.

Have a look at the diagrams and follow the instructions on removing the back cover
Turn the computer over.
Remove the eight captive screws securing the back cover and remove the module cover.
Gently lift the heat sink (pictured above). You don’t need to remove any screws to do this
You are likely to find a great deal of dust trapped between the heat sink and the system board. Remove the dust with a pipe cleaner or something similar.

i haven’t needed to worry about the shut down thing thanks

Comment on Time to rethink the Steve Jobs iShrines? by Liam

I find the posthumous transformation of Jobs into a quasi religious figure quite bizarre. Is it the continuing love affair with Apple products that has prompted the current outpouring of grief and the elevation of Jobs to sainthood; a visionary genius no less? He was certainly an astute businessman and savvy marketer, he certainly anticipated a great many modern desire, but a genius? I’m not a fan of dumbing down of technology or of the numerous restrictions Apple imposes on its products, although I can completely understand people not wanting to have to deal with bug ridden, unreliable systems like Windows. Apple always made superior products, however expensive. The difference between the 90s Apple and more recent incarnations is that they learned how to effectively sell them. This is Jobs’ legacy. Perhaps he could become the patron saint of salesmen (including Willy Loman )

Comment on Consume, Be Silent and Die: A Valediction Against Lurking by Liam

“As the Internet savy population ages, a more assertive use of the Internet may prevail. (we can hope)” I’m thinking that the opposite may be true. Long term internet usage, with concomitant exposure to spam, scams etc. tends to make users less likely to actively engage with online communities. Your point about voter turnout is well made; in Australia voting is compulsory; this doesn’t ensure active involvement in politics and how our lives are run but doesn’t allow complete disengagement either. I’m thinking that perhaps the stance I took in the post was actually too harsh; passive internet users at least use technology to some purpose. A great many others actively resist technology and want to pretend it is irrelevant. Perhaps we should be thankful for passive users (please ‘like’ this post!)
