I remember once thinking as a pretty young kid that the statistics for making it in sports vs how many kids would surely be trying didn't add up to something favorable. I reasoned then that it would make more sense to go for something

I play chess. Bet that's a shocker when you look at my user name... I don't think that chess skills transfer to programming skills - I wouldn't recommend someone play chess as a way to get better at programming or vice versa

I don't believe he was saying anything regarding whether or not he believes it is a racist symbol. He said, "I think games, documentaries and such are not showing the flag to be racist." Can a documentary portray the Civil

Towards the beginning of the game, I like to try to control the center of the board. I use pawns and knights to make sure I control the middle four squares. Meanwhile, I'm looking for moves that will let me get a material gain on the

At a big company, you're getting multiple approvals from multiple people in different areas of the company. If it was as simple as "Get the approval from the President" that'd be one thing, but there's most like a

I want to be sure I understand you correctly, because I'm not too confident in this subject. You're stating that if my device is designed to run on lower than 2.4A, but I charge it using a 2.4A charger, it'll frequently char

When I talk to teenagers, they view the 80s and 90s as ancient history. They talk about the N64 and the Playstation 2 as if those are classics. It's really weird. I was recently a chaperone for a teenager weekend event which included

I'm amazed at how often I hear "you can't taste the difference" with something that obviously tastes different. Its like a color blind person saying "you can't tell the difference between red and green" i

This can't be overstated. In college, the smartest guy I knew was also the laziest. He used to tell me different ideas he had for how to be the laziest person imaginable while still living a comfortable life, which were always amusin

They don't expect people to stay under a limit. They set limits based on what they expect 15% of people to break, actually. At least, that's how it works when they put any thought into it at all. Sometimes they just assign an a
