    Not to mention the fact that Sprint has a CDMA network in the US and doesn't use SIM cards.
    Well I guess I'm not up on the latest cell phones and their features.

    Chalk it up to creative license.

    "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    They sure do. It's probably much more fiscal than creative, though.

    And while while on the topic, I remember many scenes in TV and movies that lacked technical credibility to the discerning eye. Case in point.

    Rambo - First Blood.

    Rambo snags a motorcycle while escaping. It's a Yamaha XT 250. A single cylinder 4 stroke. Yet, while motoring away at speed, it sound like a 4 cylinder four stroke. I've seen it many times. Sometimes you have to give the public what they expect and are familiar with. And what is cheap.

    I loved Rambo.
    But now that I know the truth about the bike, it'll never be the same...

    Dude, the medical shit in that show was completely off, but I dealt with it.

    Last season, he contracted Creutzfeld-Jakob disease, otherwise known as mad-cow disease. Uncurable, but he survived untouched.

    The medics being able to discern who should live and die immediately is a joke since trauma is all about stopping the bleeding, managing secondary injury, etc.

    Also, Jack got "stitched up" after being stabbed in the abdomen, when he needed a laparotomy. Or getting shot in the upper chest but being fine cause it was a "through and through?" Well, he got shot right around the subclavian artery and vein, he would have bled out in minutes, but all he needed was a bandage.

    There is a level of bunk to every show, I just hate when a medical show fucks up the medical aspects, that bugs me
    Hal sucks
