It's not about fairness, however. The game would turn into a game of "press" rather than a game of "basketball." At that age, the strategy that wins is not as important as developing basic skills that can be used later, such as in high scho

I keep looking at the girls basketball team pressing as a bad example. Girls at that age, by and large, don't have the muscle to throw over a press. Certainly, if I was a coach in that league, the moment I knew there was a pressing team I'd

The thing is, the people clicking on the "Free Ipod Touch!!!" </blink> are genuinely interested in the result. They also may not understand the implication of such "FREEE!!!" offers. Remember, the people seeing the adware are the on

Alternatively, very very useful. (I had this idea years ago, in a simpler form.) Imagine it more as a storyboarding utility.

As much as people speak of the drug development problem, how many copies of Viagra do we need? How many more statins? The drugs don't even seem to get better, they just are finding ways to extend patents! Past that, most of the competition

1. What stops the engineers from becoming obsolete? We're just further down the line. 2. Only a relatively small percentage of the population has the skills for creative scientific and technical work such as programming and engineering. (Le

The crew at Basketball Prospectus know their stuff. What I saw from this was that nobody knows how to quantify effort yet, so here are a few first guesses that don't really work.

Wait... does anyone know of a startup other than Caspio that is looking to target the Access market? Rails isn't quite right for it. The world really does need an access-like product.

I would say that SMB is pretty arcane. Further, this is likely what most people want to do when they share files if they aren't in a mac-only environment. Why isn't SMB enabled by default? Why doesn't the option mention that this is what's

I am the counterexample. I have always been relatively poor at visualization and spatial manipulation. That said, I am not a spectacular programmer, and rely more on my ability to cut through to the real concerns of people than on my abilit

Every time I see Alan Turing's name associated with suicide I get angry and sad. He was killed by PTSD, effectively, given by his own country in gratitude for serving it so effectively.

I would never interview with a company with a corporate culture like this, and neither would most of the hackers I've worked with. While I prefer to work with great people... 1. Not being at the bottom of the barrel, I have alternatives. Wh

As a non-specialist, I find putting together a ready-to-own car in a fraction of the time of larger companies interesting. I also find having an extra storage compartment compelling, though I'm concerned about safety and weight concerns wit

This is how my boyfriend approaches travelling as well. Go to as many places as possible and take pictures to prove that you were there. Spend as much time awake as possible, going to bars and clubs at night and repeat the process the next

A third of the price for gmail versus other mail providers. That's great, until you can't get to google tech support and you can't get to your email and nobody knows quite why. Sorry, in most organizations, I'll handle my mail myself. gmail

Even at good jobs, entry level workers end of doing many things that are wastes of time, both apparent and real. Learning the focus to power through those is half the battle. Further, a 3.5 is not "decent enough grades" anymore -- they're a

So, women have a comparative advantage at being teachers, nurses, and paralegals whereas men have a comparative advantage at being principals, doctors, and lawyers? This argument could very well be made in the 60s and 70s, but we would see

Please live in Tucson in July. :) I would give up Internet before I gave up A/C. I've only seen one home in Tucson well enough insulated to give up A/C, and it was built, brick by brick by the owners, and only had two very small windows.

That may be true for a particular solution. If a solution doesn't make sense in ROI, then the solution should be rejected. However, if the customers have a specific pain point, our jobs are to alleviate that pain, not sit around and say, "I

Oracle is a very bad test for virtualization. First, Oracle is very disk-intensive, to the point that they recommended their own file system for many years and still recommend that the database is separate from the application itself. Sec

Let's count the cost of trains against the cost of airport expansions and highway expansions. We're already spending billions down in Tucson to move to four lanes, and we'll have to move the entire highway between Phoenix and Tucson to 3 la
