Unreal Tournament 2007 Sucks

rmjvol — Wed, 23 Aug 2006 01:35:09 +0000

Why would people waste their time on something like Unreal Tournament 2007? I mean, it’s just a cheap knock off of Quake so why would you not just go for the real thing.

I mean you might as well use phpbb instead of vbulletin. Or use the crappy MT blog stuff instead of wordpress.

Think about it

Utley Hitting Streak

rmjvol — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 02:31:22 +0000

Chase Utley of the Philadelphia Phillies extended his hitting streak to 26 games. I bet he makes it to 35 and then gets traded

How would you score that?

Akismet False Positives

rmjvol — Tue, 25 Jul 2006 16:19:13 +0000

I’ve got a sports forum that has implemented blog-type pingback & trackback features but, for whatever reason, Akismet has been treating all my trackbacks as spam. After researching Akismet False Positives, I found that Akismet does a great job most of the time but there are plenty of reports of Akismet labeling good blog posts as spam.

This post can help you to research the false positive problem and I’ve got a solution for you.

Research

The best info I found on Akismet false positives was over at Maxpower. Kirk Montgomery has a good article about why you might be in Akismet jail with tips on how to get out

He’s got a 2nd bit on what you could do to others with this knowledge.

False Positive Solution

In the spirit of Kirk’s suggestions, I’m here to help you if you’ve been unjustly accused by Akismet of making spam comments.

Post a non-spam response or trackback here and I’ll take a look at both your post and your website/blog. If it’s clear to me that you’ve been unjustly labeled as a spammmer, I’ll tag your comment as not spam in Akismet. Once I’ve done that for you, I’ll send a trackback from my sports forum and ask that you allow it, making sure that Akismet knows that we’re not spam.

NHL Info

The National Hockey League (NHL) is a professional sports organization composed of ice hockey teams in North America. Its French name is Ligue Nationale de Hockey (LNH). It is the premier professional ice hockey league in the world,[1] and one of the North American major professional sports leagues. The league’s teams are divided into two conferences, each comprising three divisions.

The league was founded in 1917 in Montreal, Quebec with five teams, and through a series of expansions, reductions and relocations is now composed of 30 teams, 24 of which are based in the United States and six in Canada. After a labour dispute that led to the cancellation of the complete 2004–05 season, the league has staged a successful 2005–06 regular season and 2006 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Historically, due to its origin in Canada, a large majority of players in the National Hockey League were Canadians. Over the past 25 years, due to the NHL’s expansion into the United States, its high standard of play compared to other leagues, and the availability of highly skilled European players from Eastern Europe after the fall of communism, there has been an increasing presence of American and European players. Nevertheless, more than half of the league’s players on the 2005–06 roster were born in Canada.

Baseball Info

Baseball is a team sport popular in North America, Latin America, the Caribbean and East Asia. The modern game was developed in the United States from early bat-and-ball games played in Britain, and it has become the national sport of the United States. It is a ball game in which a pitcher throws (pitches) a hard, fist-sized ball past the hitting area of a batter. The batter attempts to hit the baseball with a tapered, smooth, cylindrical bat that in professional baseball must be made out of wood. A team scores only when batting, by advancing counter-clockwise past a series of four markers called bases arranged at the corners of a diamond. Each base is 90 feet from the previous base. Baseball is sometimes called hardball to differentiate it from similar games such as softball.

Bank of America to Replace Nextel?

NASCAR Chairman Brian France denied rumors that Bank of America might be looking to replace Nextel as the title sponsor of the Cup series races.

France said ”They (Sprint Nextel) have got one of the great positions, the greatest position perhaps, in sports. They are obviously going through a change, post their merger, trying to get their company in a place that takes the most advantage with NASCAR.

“But they are focused on how to build around the sponsorship that Nextel brought into the merger.”
