Offical NFL 2008-2009 Season Thread

The Ravens are in Baltimore, Maryland. :)

Ravens and Steelers can't go to the Super Bowl at the same time silly. He means Steelers and Eagles. Whichever ever team goes, I'm inclined to say that the AFC team will win since they have the #1 and #2 defense in the league.

Nice try San Diego. :D That lil' bugger of a running back you got, he was getting on my nerves. He needed knocked around.

Up next is the Ravens. This will be a tough, tough match. We've beat them twice, we can make it three times.

GO STEELERS!

It's really interesting that a lot of the playoff match ups have been rematches. This week is no different, where the Ravens were beaten at home by the Steelers, and the Cardinals lost on Thanksgiving day to the Eagles in Philly; both of these previous games I lost in our Pick 'Em group. Man oh man, Sunday can't come soon enough :D

Seriously though - you guys need to somehow play earlier, I'm watching from the Netherlands, and a typical 4:30PM game ends at about 2AM here, with me having to get up 4 hours later to go to college :p

I guess I won't be sleeping next week with the games at 3PM and 6:30PM, same goes for superbowl sunday...

i really think arizona is gonna go to the super bowl... worst division in football is going to be at the super bowl, stupid...

Don't bet on it. The Eagles D will prove too strong for Arizona, who will miss Boldin dearly if he sits out like he did against Carolina.

I can't wait for tonight :D Really looking forward to both games and I just hope the Steelers and Cardinals advance, though in the end all I want is for Pittsburgh to win it all :p Would be great for Tomlin...

Sadly though, I'll be really f'ed up tomorrow, got a whole day of college ahead of me with 2 to 2.5 hours of sleep... Should be fun :p

Wow - who saw that coming? Eagles back in the game, up by 1 and the Cardinals answer with a good drive... Now let's see if they finish it, take the lead and are able to hold it... they do need it, because if they don't score I think the Eagles will win the game...

ninja-edit; interesting... 7 point game with not a lot of time to play...

32-25... that is one odd score. The way both teams played flipped when the second half started. I'm happy for the Cardinals and Warner, though I don't expect them to beat the Steelers. Against the Ravens possibly, but that's a tough D, and the way the game is going now, the Steelers will probably win, though it's 16-14 now, so who knows.... :shiftyninja:

Cardinals vs Steelers

To me this is like a David vs Goliath, like last year's SB, but I wouldn't give the Cardinals as much of a chance as I would've given the Giants. Still though, there's a chance of an upset. Two weeks, see you there!

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
