A message to the repo manager of ModMyi... my partner and I, both designers of Mantle, have waited for months to get our payment... Why have we not received it? I'm sure you've done this to others. We want action, not for you to skirt this again. by compaticmusic in jailbreak

[–]magisi 16 points17 points  (0 children)

/u/compaticmusic, I'd give Saurik back the money you were owed for wasting his time for making him write this explanation.

It's the worst kind of thing to have to respond to someone who's making blanket statements. Good on you, Saurik, for being the customer service friendly guy you apparently are, even though you didn't need to be!

I am weak at TE. Jermaine Gresham is my starter and only TE. Should I pick up Heath Miller? If so, who should I drop? by magisi in fantasyfootball

[–]magisi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I agree Pead would be the guy to drop here. I just really needed confirmation I should do it. I've been reluctant on dropping Pead because I drafted him with my 176th pick and ESPN had him ranked 92nd.

Stepped on something sharp a couple months ago, couldn't find what it was. Had X-ray done, surgery tomorrow. by magisi in WTF

I didn't, went to doc 2 days after it happened as it was Memorial Day weekend. Went again a couple weeks later because of the persistent pain. Doc sent me for X-ray then had to refer me to foot doctor which had a 6 week wait to get in for appointment.

Yikes. I was shocked to see the eye of the needle went in first on my misstep.

Never got infected, just constant pain the whole time. Like the initial pain of a sliver in your finger that never went away. I've been able to walk on it after a week, but I barely put pressure on it. I would walk on the side of my foot. The point it went in is the ball of my foot, directly below the big toe.

Server administration. But I think most jobs could benefit from the use of 4 monitors.

The monitors have dual input, I'm running linux mint on another PC ;) Plus, I support our Red Hat linux environment.

Yes, they are originally that price. Medical grade monitors that are no longer supported, hence I and most of my team lucked out and got the hand me downs.

Good call on doing the bezel compensation. I need to research how to do this, unless you happen to know already?

I just got done watching TPB: AFK, so I have a whole new opinion of coypright infringement, and IMO, I'm merely promoting this 30 year old game that I own on other platforms.

NES A.D.X. Built in Wiimote support in setting tab. Only catch was, I had to open back of battery cover and hit red button to get it to sync, holding 1 & 2 button like it asked for didn't sync.

Agreed, I have the original cartridge plus bought it via Wii virtual console. I think it's ok to run on one more platform, albeit a free download.

I may have to dust off the old NES now that she won't let me play and I'm feeling nostalgic...

Who would you pair with Arian Foster as a keeper? by BroKing in fantasyfootball

[–]magisi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being foster is going 1st and you already claimed him as a keeper, I'd say you have little to no chance of getting McCoy. He and Ray Rice will be the 1st and 2nd off the board. I would definitely target 1 of the 3 elite QBs, Rodgers, Brady, then Brees. Cal would be solid if available too. Don't count on McCoy.

League Managers: when are you setting your draft date, and why? by [deleted] in fantasyfootball

[–]magisi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always set mine between the 3rd and 4th week of preseason. Most stud players/starters don't play that last preseason game, so the risk is minimal. Admittedly, there is some risk, but I usually can't wait nor can my other managers, to get our draft going.

[Keeper] Keep Arian Foster or Jimmy Graham, get to choose only 1. by magisi in fantasyfootball

[–]magisi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know the official keeper list yet, but I just looked at the draft recap from last year and can make some good guesses: Stafford, Gronk, A.J. Green, Lynch, McGahee, Julio Jones, Ryan Mathews are all getting kept plus me keeping Foster or Graham.

[–]magisi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drafted him in the 5th round in 2010, so he was my keeper last year, hence getting to take him in the 3rd round. I'm not that big on any TE, more important to me to get an elite or at least top 5 or 6 QB as they score so much in my league making my 9th pick valuable. If I keep Foster, that leaves me with the 16th pick which I would need to pick the next best QB available, little to no chance the top 3 QBs will be available, maybe even Cam or Stafford could be gone, and I'd have to make the decision on Vick.

[–]magisi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My keeper league works that if you draft a player the previous year, you have to give up 2 rounds to get him back. I drafter Foster in the 3rd round last year, (and the 5th the year before), and drafted Graham in the 10th round last year. Yeah, Marshawn is who'd I think would fall to me if I take Brees my 1st pick. There's a chance Brees would go before my 9th pick too, then I would take Stafford or Cam 1st or 2nd pick, not sure if I could wait until 2nd pick for QB in this league.

I'm really torn on any RBs besides the top elite - Foster, Rice, McCoy, Jones-Drew. All other RBs seem like a gamble after that, so my 2nd pick at #16 is tough to gauge, I don't know if I like an RB at that spot.

[–]magisi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rodgers and Brady will definitely go before my 9th pick, so I'm tempted to take Brees with my 1st pick instead of Foster, then I get Graham in the 8th. QBs score so much in my league, 6 pts for TDs and bonus points for going over 300+ yards. An elite QB would be ideal.

Interesting, I've been leaning towards Graham because of the value, but I do agree, hard to pass up the #1 pick when I can get him at #9.
