   A lawyer isn't the answer for everything. Get an investment banker who has M&A experience, or alternately management consultant who can argue with the acquirer about the valuation.

   hahaha... if there's a finite number of people, there's a finite amount of attention.

   No kidding. My school had D-I athletics and affirmative action but it hasn't slowed us down in terms of (externally granted) academic awards or excellence in engineering and other specialties. The bigger problem I think is the belief that e

   You need it badly. People who know what it is will pass the link to people who don't know what it is. Without better info, you growth will suffer badly.

   Pricing game theory suggests that T-Mobile should undercut AT&T by a small margin at most.

   True, you can possibly rig it up with an unlocked AT&T or other non-T-Mobile contract bound phone.

   This is interesting, but would be 10X so if it were a persistent service instead of a one-off social science project. Also, I doubt strongly they could determine my origin. (I'm from the US, but I don't think they could figure out much more

    I assure you that your T-Mobile plan will not be available for use with a T-Mobile iPhone.

    The default order is to sort by time (week or year), so the concept of rank doesn't apply consistently. So I omitted it.

    There's tons of variance in wins and losses, so any ratings system comparison should consider results over the long term. If you're interested and have the statistical background, you should definitely give it a shot. For related ideas, che

    Search--yes, I plan to add player search with the full text search capabilities in PostgreSQL. Data file export is only enabled for logged in users. Try the CSV export button on the top right--you'll get a notice that you must be logged in.

    Thanks. I hope to drop in some Protovis charting functionality to make it more visually interesting. It will be a bit of a UI challenge to figure out how to adjust the controls, though.

    Sure, XML and JSON feeds would be easy to implement--might be a while before I get to it, though.

    Absolutely--I need to add pages with summary game reports, as well as player and team pages.

    Thanks to everyone for your feedback! There are still a bunch of data points on the site that are null but which should not be null, a few rows that didn't get updated last week, and aspects of the presentation interface that can be tuned f

    Thanks for the user-defined groups idea. I probably won't get to it for a while (in favor of adding simpler functionality), but it could be really useful for frequent users or in conjunction with user-generated Protovis charts. I probably n

    Thanks! I do think functionality that answers those kinds of queries would be engaging and fun to use. I structured my database with support for concepts like weeks of the football season, conferences, divisions, franchises, etc. with the i

    Don't mess with France. They gave Jérôme Kerviel a 4,900,000,000€ fine.

    No, you're wrong. It was a CAWUG user group meeting at the Apple Store in Chicago. There is no way in hell I would mistake you for anyone else. DHH was there as well.

    I saw Fried speak at Chicago CocoaHeads, a very technically skilled audience, about two years ago. His presentation was almost entirely a sales pitch for 37signals products, which I thought was very condescending and a missed opportunity.

    Of course Zed's hyperbole is rampant but that's what makes him fun to read. I thought his Microsoft blast was hilarious. The way Debian attempts to micromanage rubygems is insane and ends up breaking under real world environments. Why do th
