Wonder how good the package will be? What kind of 'severance' would it take for YOU to resign, in particular if you think that AOL won't survive on its own?

Deal: Firefly (Entire Series) BLU-RAY on Amazon GoldBox
Should be $40 or less. Yes, I have it on DVD. Yes, I'm thinking about buying it on BLU-RAY....even though I don't have a BLU-RAY player. HAHA!

News: AOL Time Warner to split back to original companies
Thank God. This was the worst merger in recent memory. Nothing good came from this, though it should have. Now, they are going their separate ways. Now, the question is this: what will/can AOL do to survive?

Update: SDSU nearly beats U of M Football
OK. About that. A few days ago, I posited that U of M should run up the score for the insult of SDSU actually playing the game, as opposed to the more honorable forfeit. What occured on Saturday, I would like to describe as a fluke. Not sure if that actually fits though. It is monumentally sad that the 16-13 game was as close as it was. If we're that bad at football, we should really stop playing. And focus on Hockey since we're actually good at that. Take all that scholarship money and give it to...oh, I don't know...IT students. There's some poetic justice for you.

Sports: U of M Gophers VS. SD State Jackrabbits - Saturday
OK. The reason I'm posting this is simple.
WTF.
That's pretty much it. I realize that they wanted to be all legit and Division I and all. But seriously? They are really making the trip to Minneapolis to get their @$$es handed to them by a REAL D-1 football team? Yikes. I hope they run up the score.
Is forfeit really more embarrassing than what's going to happen tomorrow?

News: Banks must get customer consent for overdraft fees - Fed
The Federal Reserve has instituted a new rule (effective July 1) that banks can ONLY charge overdraft fees on ATM and debit card transactions IF the customers OPTS IN. Score one for consumers. If you do NOT opt-in, any transaction that will overdraw your account will be denied.
News: John King to replace Lou Dobbs on CNN
I really don't know what happened.
Back when, I used to praise Lou Dobbs. He was smart, frank and straight-forward. He asked the tough questions that others were afraid to ask, and somehow found a way to do it without being politically incorrect (or at least not caring if he was). And we were all the better for it.
Then he started on illegal immigration. That's pretty much when the wheels fell right off the wagon. He went nuts. Regardless if they were politically incorrect or not, the important thing was that he started saying things that weren't correct. He started using baseless arguments and going overboard on the effect and extent of the problem. And with his supposed sanity went his viewers.
