6/23 So the US is out, but at least they scored one goal. Did ppl find the first 60 minutes of the Japan/Brazil game dull or interesting? I'm not a soccer otaku or anything, but I thought it was really entertaining until the 3rd Brazilian goal. What are the "games to watch" this weekend? \_ Both the Saturday games should be good. \- go to el farolito in the mission for the ARG-MEX game ... ask for wheat beer and keep asking people if they remember when USA beat MEX. \_ The first goal by Japan was surprising and interesting, but then the game devolved into Brazil beating Japan down, and that's just not entertaining no matter who you are. \_ Unless you're Brazil or a Brazil fan! 4-1 baby! |

Is this just one of those things you had to grow up with? \_ telnet <DEAD>diego.ascii-wm.net<DEAD> 2006 \_ when's the next match? \_ It's just another pastime for those whose own lives are devoid of any interest. \_ Honestly, it's hard to say. For some people, the back-and-forth is everything; for me, it's the pressure in the last 15 minutes of a game. Also, the World Cup is fascinating to me because of the long game: you can lose one match and yet still qualify for the next round. --erikred \_ I like the crazy stuff people have to do the get goals.

6/20 Please to be speaking up now if you do not want me to post the World Cup results for Iran-Angola and Mexico-Portugal. Thank you. \_ Can we institute a 24 hour moratorium on discussion of the games? Feel free to talk about the England game or something. Weekend games are excepted. Feel free to talk about the England game or something. Weekends excepted. \_ Okay, no problem. \_ I won't mention the team names, but when two teams play to a scoreless draw and the articles about the game say things like how "fast and furious" the play was and how it was a classic I realize that even though I like (and played) soccer, the game kind of sucks. How does the rest of the world get so into a game where a scoreless draw is not only a possibility, but seen as a good sign of two team's abilities? \_ What article said that? Neither team particularly cared to win that match since it didn't matter. \_ Yes, meaningless games are what makes the World Cup so great! \_ If two really good teams work really hard at scoring and yet simultaneously prevent each other from scoring, how is that not incredibly exciting? Frankly, I find this much more exciting than the NBA, where the game comes down to who messed up and didn't make the matching goal; it's almost as bad as bowling. \_ I can appreciate good defense. A no hitter in baseball is exciting. What is not exciting is that it's a scoreless *tie*. Please play until someone scores. Hockey can get away with ties, because 1) at least they have the concept of overtime, 2) the ties are rarely scoreless, and 3) even if they are there are usually more shots on goal that the goalkeeper actually has to save. In soccer, one team scores a goal and then plays defense the rest of the game. That's a disservice to the phenomenal athletes. \_ This is the first round. Each teams plays three matches and scores match points based on how they do; the teams with the most match points in their groups move the second round. From the second round forward, the rules change: "If, after 90 minutes, a match ends in a draw, extra time of twice 15 minutes will be played. If the score is level after extra time, penalty kicks will be taken to determine the winner (cf. Art. 17, par. 2, and 3 of these Regulations)." Now, if you want to argue over the fairness (or sanity) of ending a match through PKs, brother, you're preaching to the choir. If you really want to know why people riot after WC matches, look no farther. \_ I think they should decide it based on corner kick differential over the course of the match. \_ The first round is odd in the respect that it actaully encourages scoreless ties. In the tiebrakeing process, a scoreless tie is worth more that a scoring tie. \_ How so? |

11/19 Steve Levy >> Joe Ayoob Its funny how Tedford put him in for like two plays at the very end of the game (when we were up by 24 points with like 30 seconds to go). -mrauser \_ Levy really didn't throw very well, and the offense didn't move very well until the game was in hand. I'll give him kudos for winning his first collegiate start, but I haven't seen anything to indicate he's better than Ayoob. (Ayoob has six wins). -tom \_ Levy just doesn't have the brain freeze that Ayoob does. Ayoob kills the team with mistakes. \_ Levy fumbled deep in our own end with the score 6-3. He also threw an interception when we were in field goal range when the score was 13-3. -tom \_ And yet still made far fewer mistakes than Ayoob has been making. \_ His mistakes didn't happen to cost us, playing against a weak team. Ayoob had five victories in a row over weak teams. I don't think Ayoob is great, but Levy is not a real QB, and if we go into a bowl game with him at QB, any decent defense will put a spy on him and he will be in trouble. -tom \_ You are right that Levy is not a 'real QB'. I think he sucks. Yet, I'd still rather have him out there over Ayoob. Only one turnover in the entire game. Levy tries to do less than Ayoob and that helps the team more. \_ Ayoob has had one or fewer turnovers five times this year. -tom \_ And 7 INTs in 2 games, which sent him to the bench. \_ He threw four INTs in the USC game. One was when he and the receiver didn't agree on the route (if Jackson had turned the route up, it would not have been intercepted). One hit the receiver in both hands, but went through his hands. One was a desperation play at the end of the half, and the other was on fourth down. It's not clear that *any* of them constituted a mistake on Ayoob's part. -tom \_ You've got to be kidding me. Let me guess: Ayoob is your cousin or something. \_ let me guess; you don't understand the difference between a decision and a result. -tom \_ Ayoob's decision-making is terrible. \_ It's at least as good as Levy's. -tom \_ Based on what? \_ Based on knowing a lot about football, having season tickets, and watching the two of them all year. -tom \_ If you're defending Ayoob then I have to question your credentials as someone who 'knows a lot about football'. His play is inexcusably terrible. \_ His play has not been good, but he won six games. Levy against Stanford never went past his first read, and had serious happy feet in the second half. 8 of his 10 completions were dumpoffs or short outs, and he telegraphed every pass. Even the TD pass to Jackson was badly underthrown, although I wouldn't exactly call that a mistake since it was a good matchup for us in one on one coverage. -tom \_ What about the fumble in the USC game? And don't even get me started on the OSU game. He should have been pulled after that fiasco. |

5/20 For the person who was asking how to best answer the question, "What's your weekness?" during the interview. IMHO, the best way to answer that is to talk about how you'd like to be more proficient in an area that you are _not_ interviewing for. For example, if you are interviewing for a backend position, then talk about how you are not as strong in front end design but would love to get more exposure to it. Or for non-managedment engineering positions in general, it is also okay to say you are not comfortable enough speak in front of hundredes or thousdands of people but you would like to take some public speech classes if the company can sponsor it (it is important to quatify the number of audience; you want to point out you are totally comfortable doing a technical presentation/review for your peers). This answer usually leads to discussion about company's education benefits, which is what you want to find out anyway. \_ The best answer is "I don't have any weaknesses" \_ I'd rather someone blew off the question than respond this way \_ No, that's the worst answer.a \_ I dunno -- the last thread about this had some pretty messed answers.... \_ It's not the worst answer if it is true. If you're good at your job and you have good people skills to boot plus tons of experience in the relevant positions then why would you have any weaknesses? I mean, seriously, what the hell are you supposed to say? I don't have a good backhand in tennis? I don't play golf? I mean, seriously, wtf ARE you supposed to say if you have 10+ years of experience in the field, worked on various projects as follower or leader, have had a pretty good track record on those projects, given lectures on the field, published papers, etc. etc.. If you are the best candidate for the job, why SHOULD you have any weaknesses? \_ If you think you're perfect, that's a weekness. \_ Perhaps if you think you are NOT perfect for the job, now that's a weakness. If you don't think you're perfect for the job, then why are you applying? Also, who said anything about thinking that you yourself are perfect? Not having a weakness != perfection. \_ Okay, I'll emend that. If you don't think you have weaknesses, you're lying to yourself and others. \_ So in other words, you don't believe that people can be good at what they do. That's an interesting attitude. \_ No. I believe that people who are never introspective are dangerous. I believe that people who don't find they have things to better in themselves are stunted and boring. \_ Being introspective is one thing, being weak at something is another. Don't mix the two. You're confusing self assessment with being weak. Self assessment leads to improvement, even in things you are strong at. It's akin to saying that Tiger Woods has a "weak" short game. His weak short game still blows 99% of the population out of the water. He can improve on it, (heck, he can improve on all aspects of his game), but I wouldn't call it a weakness, especially if you're applying for a job. Seriously, this is one of those dumb corporate interview questions that should be banned. It's a dumb question and leads to no real answers. \_ Sounds like you're reading too much into the question. This is exactly what they're asking about. Things you'd like to be better at. Maybe it's bad terminology, but you're being really obtuse. \_ If you asked Tiger Woods his biggest weakness and he said "My short game" it would make plenty of sense. How his short game compares to mine is not the question. \_ my biggest weakness is not being able to find more time to <stick in something irrelevant to work>. For example, I'm unable to find more time to read fine American literatures, take French/cooking, class, and do things that'll make me a better rounded person. Heck they don't give a shit how well-rounded you are, so why not. \_ The purpose of this question is to bait you into revealing a real show stopper flaw, or see if you dodge the question or throw up a smoke screen answer. As long as you answer it honestly and don't throw out a juicy flaw like stealing other people's lunchs from the company refrigerator, you are probably fine. -ax \_isn't hacking code and eating Doritos making you more well-rounded \_ Only in the chiapet sense. |

I probably got more of the obscure references, but the real enjoyment for me was how tightly the film adhered to the mantra: show, don't tell. \_ Agree with pp. Shalin Soccer was a finished product. The acting in Kung Fu Hustle was half-assed, as well as the storyline. The action and special effects were good, but I couldn't shake the feeling of it being unfinished product through the whole movie. I think if they really tried, they could've made it into an awesome movie. \_ I'll be the first to say that I saw Shaolin Soccer with a bunch of friends who loved it and said I *HAD* to see it.

Cal is ranked 4th in the country currently by both the sportswriters and the coaches. Traditionally, the Pac-10 champion (Cal is in the Pac-10, a conference of 10 west coast schools) goes to the Rose Bowl to play a final game on Jan 1. The Rose Bowl is part of a 4-bowl coalition called the Bowl Championship Series (BCS). This year the top two teams from college football will play in the BCS championship game in Miami in the Orange Bowl. Thus Cal could go to the Rose Bowl, a goal of long desire for Cal fans (who haven't been since 1959). The Rose Bowl also wanted Cal to preserve its traditional matchup. However, Cal was not selected by the BCS because in the final BCS rankings (involving computer, coaches, and sportswriters polls), Texas barely passed Cal, and Texas got an automatic BCS bid because of their final 4th-place finish. Thus Cal was left out of the BCS. Many feel that the extra votes that Texas got in the last week that made the difference were the result of Texas allies among the sportswriters and coaches, and also the Texas coach's campaign for votes vs. Cal's non-campaigning and non-running-up-the-score. |

Now that I'm grown up and know better, I think that is really stupid. I mean, we have football and basketball today but people are still pretty pissed about Bush and his policies. What do you guys think? \_ You are lacking one vital component in your reasoning, the shows at the Coliseum were free.

I played the first hour of the game and immediately put it on eBay, to me it's THAT BAD. What's to not like: - Ugly character: short hair, looks like a boy, no body, green lipstick, looks like an 80's punk girl. In a game you're the character, the person has to be likable, Jade is not. - Boring character: no charisma, nothing, she's boring - Stupid side-kick: a pig as a sidekick? Maybe when I was 10 years old, not in an adult game. Imagine if Solid Snake was walking around with a talking pig, insults adult intelligence. - Hammy: too tounge and cheek, very hammy dialogue, the voice acting seems partly joking partly serious, too in-your-face. - Boring gameplay: take pictures, fight, take pictures, fight... + Great graphics + Great production value \_ A pig for a sidekick?

10/29 How are spreads created? I'm bored at work and want to create a free market (with spreads if possible) for betting on random events at work, like "How much longer before Sue and Jack break up?" and "4 to 1 odds that the Christmas party will be cancelled?" Ya, it's entirely stupid, and the idea is not original (the movie 40 days and 40 nights had the same sort of thing), but like I said, I'm bored. \_ Unless you're intimately knowledgeble about people's betting habits and personal lives, forget it. Instead, run a pool. Payoffs depend on how much people put into it. There is no chance of you losing money (unless you bet) and you can be a lot less accurate about the outcome, since it doesn't really matter who wins. \_ You're looking for odds, not spreads: http://csua.org/u/4u6 That said, you're talking about setting quantifiable odds for qualitative results, and that's a mug's game. If you're really bored, establish a trash-can free-throw game, watch the other players practice, and set your odds based on their hit-miss ratio. \_ Ever look at http://tradesports.com ? The way they do it is make a 'contract' that pays $1 if an event happens or $0 if it doesn't. A player Andy can sell a contract to Bob for, say $0.30. If the event doesn't happen, Andy keeps his $0.30. If it happens, Andy has to pay Bob $1 (but keeps the $0.30 he got for selling the contract) Anyone can buy and sell contracts as they please and the prices move The spread occurs whenever there are no buyers at the price the sellers are willing to accept. \_ odds are different, but casinos and sports books adjust lines so that they'll get pretty close to an even amount bet on both sides. \_ How exactly does that work? If I set the spread for the Lakers game at 7.5 points and everyone is betting on the Lakers, can I change the spread to 11.5 and void the previous bets? \_ No, the previous bets still stand, but now you get more bets against the Lakers \_ as above. Once you increase the spread(assuming Lakers are favored), you'd get fewer bets on the Lakers and more against. Thus, they adjust until they get even amounts of bets on both sides, and the net payout approx. = net gain, regardless of outcome. That's why you see lines adjusting as events get closer. Thus, Vegas lines are not a probability of winning, they're a snapshot of what the betting community thinks the prob. of winning are. \_ Perhaps less obviously, all probabilities are a snapshot of someone's belief of what the probability of something is. -- card-carrying bayesian \_ There was an article recently in the SmartMoney magazine about a professional sports better. Besides doing lots of research, he would have several people working for him placing bets all at the same time such that the spread doesn't move against him. \_ hey good way to get fired. what company is this? where do i send my resume to get your job when you're gone? |

11/20 If you want to know about "The Play", go to http://espn.com. It's the front page article atm. \_ Cal is gonna lose. In the history of my paying attention to Cal football they never won so why now? They'll choke. \_ So *you're* the one. Stop watching so's we can win, would you? \_ The articles said there was only four seconds left, yet the run before the touchdown in the video clip seemed to last a lot longer. Why? \_ The last play of the game can be as long as it wants, as long as it starts before time runs out. They could be running for an hour and it'd still count. \_ SJ Mercury had a sidebar where they showed the play was illegal to begin with, claimed that there was a forward lateral, and claimed that someone was already down. Must be a stanfurd grad. \_ The call always stands despite video in Pro Basketball also. I remember Clippers vs. Spurs 1989, Charles Smith hit a last second shot 2 feet behind the 3 point line that was called as a 2 pointer. The fact he landed *after* shooting in front of the line was missed by the officials. They lost by a point. If video could undo a game after the fact, people would not go. \_ Actually basketball is doing some instant replay officiating now. But certainly college football wasn't, then or now. In any case, there are no forward laterals--it is easy to ascertain this from the video replay. It is not so easy to ascertain whether Garner's knee touched down before he pitched it to Rodgers, but it appears that his leg is on top of a Stanford player's leg. By today's NFL replay rules, the call made on the field would definitely stand. In addition, Stanford was penalized for illegal participation (for the players and the band on the field), and the penalty at the time for illegal participation was to award the other team a touchdown. -tom \_ Didn't the band come on the field only after (they thought) his knee went down? In which case the illegal participation call still hinges on that result. [ reformatted - motdformatd ] \_ No, the band can't go on because they think his knee is down, even if he is down. \_ The whistle hadn't blown, so The Play wasn't over. -tom \_ one of SJ Mercury's arguments was that the formation was illegal. There were only four Cal Players within ten feet of the ball before the kickoff. The forward lateral reminds me of the Music City Miracle play in the NFL. \_ It would be min of 10 yards, and there are no illegal formations for the defense. Only applies to offense. \_ I'm still trying to figure out why any of you care about things like Cal football. Any of the players would piss on you and rape your girlfriend for fun and then laugh about it after at practice. \_ When I used to hang out at my gf's place at Clark Kerr all the time, I would see some of the same football players every day and it got to the point where after a while they'd even acknowledge me on campus. Clearly this means that they're not all bad, right? \_ No, how do you figure that? Because they didn't beat you up or gang rape your gf in the stairwell? \_ girlfriend. what is that? \_ for most of us, yermom. \_ I feel thoroughly rebuked. I apologize. Let me go back into my cubicle and discuss the latest Enterprise episode with all my Magic buddies. \_ Clearly ducking the issue. Nice try but no points for that. GO BEAR! WOOT! Ya know, the phrase "football player rapist" didn't appear out of thin air. Or maybe you've spent too much time in your cubicle? \_ don't we go over this every year? and i thought it was the basketball players. - danh \_ You are right. All football players are thugs and rapists. There's not a good man among them. Thanks motd! --dim \_ Yawn. Take the grade school level debate tactics some place that cares. The rest of us outgrew this sort of childish "take their point to the ridiculous extreme" nonesense by junior high. If you''ve got nothing to say then don't bother. \_ You obviously haven't listened to the Rush Limbaugh show or Ann Coulter lately. \_ Which still has nothing to do with anything. Why can't you make the simple effort of sticking to the topic? Don't bother posting if you're on drugs and going off into la-la no-brains land. \_ I'm a fan of rape. \_ Come over here and sit on uncle aspo's lap \_ Or maybe you haven't watched enough football. \_ This has something to do with the price of tea in China? \_ Did that Stanfurd quarterback Elway ever mention why he called the timeout when there was eight seconds remaining? \_ Yep, he admits it was a stupid thing for him to do. He got caught up in the moment. \_ How does the timing work? What would have happend if Elway didn't call timeout at eight seconds left? I don't know much about football. \_ Basically, he would've called it with 2-4 seconds left. Then the field goal would've been the last play of the game. Instead, the field goal took 4 seconds, so they still had to kick the football back to Cal. |

A million superbowl rings can't even begin to compare to a Nobel Prize or a Fields Medal. \_ true, for the most part. but I guarantee you that 10 years of consecutive national wins in a major sport (football or basketball) will earn as much attention and, in turn, respect as will a Nobel or Fields medal. hell, people don't even know what a Fields medal is, except for about 1000 people or so. millions, literally, know about sports. \_ It's the wrong kind of attention.

10/23 In Football, if someone runs a hook and ladder, how do they allocate statistics for yards caught? \_Yards caught is based on the movement of the ball upfield and downfield on a pass. How the ball got there (in the sense of what route it took) doesn't matter. In a hook and ladder situation you've got a lateral, technically it was not a pass, but a lateral. and then a run, so the stats should reflect rushing yards, not passing yards. The yards are credited to the person running in the play. \_ what the heck is a football question doing here? i think you'd find more geeks here who do embroidery than watch football. oh, btw, i believe only the final receiver gets credit for yards caught. the first pass is not counted in yards caught since technicallY it was not a pass, but a lateral. \_ The option play this weekend (hand off to WR, he laterals to RB) was scored as a run by the WR, which is odd, but I think that might be the way the hook and ladder is scored. -tom \_In the box score I see the yards seem to be credited to Canidate (the RB) not Hakim (the WR) - lewis \_ I think a bunch of sodans are closet sports fans.

7/16 anybody out there working in the game industry (for console systems and PC's) who has any words on what the job is actually like, in terms of both coding and graphic design/art positions? i already know that the pay is less than other jobs, but how enjoyable is the job...? \_ really depends on the company and you \_ i've still to find a job that i like so much i want to sit around for more than 8 hours. i've heard that the hours are long, which is fine, but i've also heard that the the deadlines are extremely tight, so one guy i talked to mentioned it wasn't as fun as he thought it was going to be. \_ It depends on what your job is. If you're hired as a peon, and you work for some big, icky company, then your job is going to suck. Do not let this happen to you. If you work as, say, lead engine programmer (or some level higher up than code monkey) for a company that treats its employees well, it can be great. As a general rule the smaller companies are better, but too small == a lot of risk that you may never even finish a first game before the company goes down. The main way to get a good job in the game industry is to have some kind of game-specific experience before you go in. It can be something dumb, like a Half-Life mod or whatever. But have something. -blojo \_ I am sure jobs at small companies can suck too, isn't that right blojo? \_ what game company? |

6/19 Jobs available at Sony Computer Entertainment of America. Learn the PlayStation2 architecture, meet lots of game developers, and write your own ticket in the game industry! See /csua/pub/jobs/SCEA. -mogul \_ isn't this system "already dead" before it's even released in the U.S.? \_ You're funny! -mogul \_ No. It's already dead. Xbox is going to destroy ps2 across the U.S. Release it fast and sucker in as many v1.0 victims as you can. You'll need a new job by Xmas of 2001. \_ The Best scenario for the X-Box as a gaming console is for microsoft NOT to lose their shirt, on selling a unit which cost $50-100 more then it should to manufacture. -nweaver \_ uhh nick, we all know you area dumbass but I just want to point out that the money is not in the consoles. The money is in the games. \_ in clear laymen's terms, why is it harder to develop games for the ps2 than let's say...the dreamcast. the "difficulty" for making games for this unit is supposedly higher than the saturn, which was already THE worst nightmare platform. \_ It's not harder, just requires people to learn more and think differently. Take the job and find out. -mogul \_ Translation: you didn't release a SDK. Thanks. \_ You could look at it that way. -mogul \_ Always have to have the last word, eh? \_ Supposedly it is tougher than the Saturn. Mainly because Sony didn't bother to develop any guildlines for the best way to impiment a given effect. So apparently programmers will get halfway through doing something in way X, when they figure out they should've been doing way Y and have start completely over. (Note: I can't imagaine the PSX2 is worse than the Atari Jaguar though, talk about nightmare systems...) \_ Sony put out a library for PS that developers hated. They said they'd rather have the raw metal and specs and write their own libs; eventually Sony gave out the specs and the games got a lot better as a result. For the PS2, Sony skipped the libraries and gave developers what they said they wanted. Unfortunately, they didn't count on the number of super-lame PC programmers fleeing their shrinking share of the games market; these are people raised with DirectX, with no idea how to program a graphics pipeline on their own. These are the same people who are complaining the loudest whenever they're interviewed. I was a PC game developer, and I made the switch. It's NOT that hard. -mogul \_ Hey, good way to do developer relations!! I can't wait to join up with an attitude like that. --super-lame PC programmer staying in shrinking market \_ I didn't say all PC game programmers are super-lame... Just that there are a lot of them. \_ Why not release a library to placate the super-lame programmers, and also release the specs? Seems like the right way to go, even if you accept the thesis that only people that can program the bare metal are going to turn out worthwhile games. -brg (not a game programmer, or even a game programmer wannabee) \_ That was my logic, and apparently it just occurred to someone in Japan where (unfortunately) all such decisions are made. A lib will be released shortly. -mogul \_ So this is a heavily top-down org-chart sort of place good for drones but bad for anyone who might stand out? Get a new watch after 20 years of making the company millions each year? \_ This is just for what goes in the official devkit. Sony treats its employees extremely well. -mogul \_ "Hi! I am Dilb^Wmogul, loyal peon." \_ Welcome to the japanese way of doing business. \_ Microsoft seems like a great place to work... I'm sure they'd love to have you on the X-Box, and they're not very top-down... -interviewee \_ Microsoft is a shitty place to work and has an uncertain future. \_ Over there, they ride linux and run bikes over with suvs |

If we recover the onsides kick, we win and Gilbie looks great. If we throw into the end zone instead, we don't take any time off the clock and if we don't score, idiots like you would be second-guessing that. 2) Our chances at the Rose Bowl are almost exactly what they were before: we need to win the rest of our Pac-10 games, that's all. We *are* the best team in the Pac 10. We *can* win the rest. But if the fans are going to fucking quit just because the other team got LUCKY and beat us, we might as well give up now.
