    Tiger Woods #1 again in Golf

    The take it back as far as you want rule is if you use the place where the ball went in the hazard. But the ball went in the hazard to the "left-ish" so going back from there would have been in the trees or whatever. The other options were a drop zone (which probably has crappy grass from all...

    Tiger Woods #1 again in Golf

    He obviously didn't know it was illegal or else he wouldn't have said anything. It's kind of hard call because the rules people did do a video replay of his drop at 15 while he was on 18 and gave him the okay that everything was fine so he signed his scorecard with a 6. Then, later, after he's...

    Is it wrong for transgenders to compete in sports that are gender specific?

    I don't have the source anymore but this is pretty much true and what the researchers concluded back when people were wondering over that trans long distance runner. Basically, testosterone is directly related to muscle mass and you need it constantly. Normal women produce a smaller amount...

    Computer Science New Grad Job Interview

    Lol, the first time I saw it: "Um, is there a trick to this? Why are you giving me 10 minutes to code this?" Afterwards, them: "I think roughly half our interviews, people can't do it." Very sad. And yeah, knowing all the basics of OOP is desired.

    Computer Science New Grad Job Interview

    Most interviews are a majority of talking about yourself. Anything on your resume is obviously fair game. Be prepared to talk about projects you've done in great detail and any particularly cool things you've done to show passion for CS, etc. How you solved some problem. They just want to...

    Lance Armstrong stripped of of Tour de France wins, banned for life from cycling

    This is the full release: http://espn.go.com/photo/preview/!pdfs/121010/espn_reasoned_decision.pdf Most of it is people evidence. The only real physical lab evidence is in the probable but not definitive area, so they just say he was using undetectable stuff. In particular around page 145 of...

    **OFFICIAL** Star Wars: The Old Republic Thread

    I think in general you know what to do. Hybrid build sorc is one of the easiest rotations in the game, probably. There's probably some fine tuning down the line as you play it more, especially in movement-heavy fights where you can't really do a set rotation because precise timings will get...

    **OFFICIAL** Star Wars: The Old Republic Thread

    There's no set rotation but more a priority list. So whatever is highest on the list is what you cast if it's up. 1. (Wrath) Crushing Darkness 2. Affliction 3. Death Field so your Affliction ticks hit harder 4. Force lightning #1 should be used on cd since it's pretty much always up and...

    MLB Mvp winner Ryan Braun's appeal successful, drug penalty overturned

    Two things at work here. If the process was screwed up, I agree that he shouldn't get a suspension and the rest. However, as a fan, especially since he never tried to contest the positive result and refused the DNA verification, then I'm on the side that he probably took something. We'll see...

    RgIII

    That seems a little excessive. People were willing to go about ~3-5 #1's to get Luck. If you have 4 of them, you might as well do the whole big trade to get Luck anyway. In terms of is he worth it, no one knows. All these guys are like buying a lottery ticket. I think Luck will be good...

    Superbowl XLVI Prediction/Discussion Thread

    Wow, that mental error on the first offensive play by Brady for the safety turned out to be huge. Yeah, the game would have changed going forward but from just the points, it would have been a 3 point game instead of 4 without the safety. I thought the game lived up to expectations. Close...

    Official NFL playoff thread

    It's more than that. Suisham has come up short before on some low 50s before so it lends itself to him just not being strong enough even in Denver. He's also really inaccurate but that's a completely separate issue. If a guy has the leg, I say let him go for it because then at least you don't...

    BCS Championship Game - #1 LSU vs. #2 Alabama

    Wow, what a terrible coaching job by LSU. Alabama is completely dominating this game in all areas. Their offense is completely pathetic, just like last game, yet they keep doing the same thing and getting stuffed. There is no controversy. Alabama gets the crown with the way it should be...

    Say what you will, but Tebow freaking wins.

    Yeah, but football is no comparison to other sports because of the importance of each game and the whole attitude of football in general (party and watch football on Sundays). The NBA and MLB don't get as much attention per game because of the 7 game series thing instead of the NFL where every...

    BCS Championship Game - #1 LSU vs. #2 Alabama

    Hardly surprising. The quality of play, in general, is lower in college football. And most people, if there's limited time, want to watch the higher level of play if there's no direct school allegiance. Even if they're the same guys, I don't think that many people watched pro players in college.
