It's a really bad article: * did not say who's paying for the training * number of hours required for ATP is less than 1,500 for certain structured training programs * there definitely is and will be a shortage of ATPs who are wil

The man with the bushiest beard is Gordon Letwin. He single-handedly cost IBM a trillion dollars by making Windows do multi-tasking, killing OS/2 with less than 100 lines of code. I saw his photo in the 90s, and it still haunts me. I&#

Very true. Usain Bolt is known to have laughable form, so bad that coaches who have filmed him just throw up their hands when playing it back. Also, you can get incredibly strong just on 3 squares and water and sleep. Either you have the ge
