19.70.11.39, here. Most large companies only have a few links to the outside world for general internet usage. That makes it easier for corporate IT to control usage and monitor intrusions and whatnot. If it's not that, the IP lookup link above is only showing you who owns that IP range. Your business ISP might be based there. There are better location services than whois, many that will locate you fairly close to where you are (town or zipcode). Google up "geolocation by ip" for some examples. This where "proxy servers" and "TOR" comes in if you watch crime shows. Instead of your computer connecting more-or-less directly to sabrespace.com and exposing your computer's IP, you use a proxy. Essentially, your computer connects to the proxy and asks it to go get sabrespace.com for you. SS.com only sees the proxy's address. TOR is world-wide network that does something similar.

I haven't price shopped in awhile. I think mine is $120/yr. That was a steal in 2008 when Voicewing and Vonage were $25/mo. :)

I have a voipo.com VOIP phone, which is way more expensive than others are claiming here. I've had it for a few years, my old girlfriend liked having a house phone. I've just reworked my cell phone, so it now has unlimited minutes so I'm ditching the voip phone. I do have a Google Voice number that rings both my cell and my home phone. The neat thing is you can set up Gvoice with any area code you like, so I have a local number in addition to my phone's native number, which I've had for over 10 years and 3 states.

A: if they didn't, the fans and their anointed crusaders at the Buffalo News would claim they were clueless about how bad the team was going to be. (Note "anointed crusaders" is dripping with sarcasm) B: Maybe they have their eye on a coach that isn't done coaching yet (NHL or AHL). In any case, our friends in the media flipped out last year when there wasn't a press conference, so they'd surely flip out again if there was a delay. They'd probably crib ideas from posters here that there's a vast conspiracy going on in the Sabres FO and scream bloody murder.

I'm guessing you're really close to the head of the waiting list? You've posted this several times already.

:w00t:

This was discussed in the other thread at length. Same result: one of the teams that just missed the playoffs probably wins it, so you end up giving the No 1 pick to the 10-14th-ish worst team, and most likely the 10-14th pick to the worst team. The point of just about every draft is to give bad teams shots at the best players.

Why break it into playoff and non-playoff? Just draft in the order that teams finish the season. Stanley Cup winner gets first pick, runner-up second, and so on. That'll really teach the tankers.

If I were working for the defence, I'd get bored with how many times I had to object for hearsay.

Oooh, can I be the judge? I have a new avater to match!

Come on, Mr Enroth is making some good points about his son. And his English is impeccable! :)

I think Maggie is overstating a bit. 4G is noticeably faster than 3G, but it's not as big a jump as she's making it out to be.

Many moons ago, I did exactly that with an AT&T phone. Got it, tried to make it work for awhile, but in the end returned it within 30 days (I didn't get service in my house or at my desk, where Verizon was fine). Fairly painless process. I only remember one that had T-mobile that I knew of. He moved on due to issues with signal in Philly. He was also a big blackberry guy, not sure if that applies to you. I'm using Verizon, two lines, two phones, 4GB data, $153/mo..

Shh, I'm still hanging on. (crosses fingers)

I'd like to have actually seen him play before calling him a bust. Unless you want to call him a bust due to injuries. The few games he did play this year he played well.

Wheat hops are a genetically engineered hybrid from the Germans trying to skirt the Reinheitsgebot.

I thought the 2005 CBA (and maybe the 2013 one) didn't allow contract renewals until the player is RFA (1 year before UFA). Can someone help me out here?

Puttin' on the foil, coach!

oops, you were responding to the other joke.

Come on, that's almost straight outta Vaudville or the Marx brothers, that should be in your wheelhouse. :)

It balanced out Ott's goal, that one could have gone either way.

Thanks for that, I wasn't paying attention but heard them laughing. "You got Harry'd."

I'm with you, I think when signed I said something like, "If this were a nameless vet that is a 2-way center, plays in a shutdown role, on the PK, and can chip in 10 goals, we'd be overjoyed.". Hecht has 5 goals, so he's just about on pace for a 10-goal season (despite how horrible this team has been). I should have added consistent.

+1.

Or, he's seen the "Big Show", then sees the AHL bus, and knows where he wants to be next next year (well, no AHL next year, but you get the idea).
