I've seen alot of these around the Internet and I thought about putting one for neowin. Give a reason why you chose the person.

I think the detroit fans are at fault because one of them threw that bottle and the flying chair did not make them look any better, anyone would do what he did! Just put yourself in his shoes.

Fans should never try to hit Players or Disrespect them at all.

BUT RON ARTEST THROWING PUNCHES @ Fans. All I know is that if my boy was being punched by a Athlete, I'd be throwing punches back and chairs and beer and popcorn and will look for revenge when they come back into Town.

I voted Artest, but I think that the fans are at fault as well. Though Artest is more responsible for the the brawl than the fans...

If the fan wouldn't have thrown the soda cup at Artest he wouldn't have jumped up swinging, but he is the professional and when you are a profesional performer/entertainer, for lack of a better description, you should have a thick skin.

Being a Detroiter myself, I am a bit ashamed at the free for all attitude that came from the fans. There's no reason that the fight should not have stopped with Artest and that one guy that he initially punched.

Fans, players, and security.

Security was non-existant...how did a fan even get onto the floor to square off with Artest? If I'm Artest, I'm hitting that dude. The floor is the players' only safezone, that is their territory, same as the stands for the fans. He shouldn't have went into the stands but the fans shouldn't have thrown anything either.

The NBA is going to crap. It's been going on for awhile now and they've done nothing about it...they deserve this. They always hype all of this garbage and we, as fans, put these guys up on the pedestal. They are just athletes, nothing else. They mean nothing in the big picture. And fans take this garbage too far as well. It's a game, get over it.

As Michael Jordan once said, "Nobody is bigger than the game, not you, not Michael Jordan, nobody."

I agree that the fan shouldn't have thrown that beer or cup whatever @ him while he was lying down, but IF I was @ the game and saw Artest, Jackson, O'neal throwing punches @ my fellow fans (I'm not a Detroit fan, just saying it into perspective), just imagine one of your friends being punched or thrown down by somebody, you know he'd have your back.

This makes me wonder if athletes should go through college and receive a degree before entering the NBA (<--- that was a joke everyone).

LOL; sorry I'm just a little stressed out to see Professionals throwing punches @ fans.

Well, all I know is Artest was cool, laying down on the scorer's table, relaxing after the altercation with Wallace. This never would have happened if the dude didn't throw the water bottle, period. He fouled Wallace hard, Wallace pushed him, and he backed away.

Athletes really have issues today. Look at Clemson and South Carolina. Think they didn't try to emulate the NBA game? Too much of this thug image, it's corroding the sports.

The other reason I think that contributed to this was the fact that there was barely any security officers. Someone could have gotten killed or worse..mugged(did I get my priorities wrong?) just joking but seriously someone could have really hurt someone so thats looking on the bright side. but Im looking forward for their next game together which convieniently is on christmas day lol I have gotta to watch that!

Same.  :D

What? there was another fight? I dont watch football so fill me in on it

Since I'm from MI...I have to support my Detroiters on this one....if Artest hadn't been do dam dramatic, then that guy wouldn't have thrown that drink at him. If I were that guy...I would have done the SAME thing. ...and when Artest could have just shrugged it off or even stopped playing in that game, he climbed into the stands and punched that guy. I don't think it was fair that Ben Wallice and Billips were suspended though. Man if I were one of the people Artest punched...he would be having lawsuits comming out his butt by now.

I look at it two ways.

1st -- Ben Walllace overreated to a foul that should have been shrugged off. I believe being handled the entire game finally got to most of the Pistons and caused a lot of hostility.

2nd -- The fans. If the fans would have not thrown things at Artest, he would not have gone into the stands and everything would have been settled between the players.

You can look at it a lot of different ways that I do. I see them all, but I honestly think it boils down to Ben Wallace.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path.

Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close.
