    I run that all the time anyway. Various "optimization" programs tell me I need straight out fullscreen, which to me is untenable and defeats the purpose of dual monitors. At any rate, I need a new computer (this one is approaching six years) and for the time being this has made things better...

    Shit man, that's harsh. Yeah but from an organizational standpoint things have been better since Wade Phillips was canned. "Better" in this case doesn't necessarily equate to successful, even I'm leery of the way things are given the history of the team since Jerry bought them, but five years...

    He still is. Just bring up any recent interview or press conference with him in it and marvel at how he can put together such word salads. Dude uses twenty words when five will suffice. From an organizational standpoint, yeah, not as much. Sorry, not sorry.

    That's what I was getting at. It would have to be pretty bad for anyone to do anything, at least publicly. Right now, most people don't care. I know I don't outside of the lulz.

    I think it becomes an issue if the other 31 owners feel like Snyder is fucking up the NFL brand somehow and losing them money. They're all thick as thieves though, even with the shit they're forcing Kraft through. The only consistent dissenter was Al but he was mostly just swinging his dick around.

    That stretch between Aikman and Romo was painful though. He's a poster child for Garret's Right-Kind-of-Guy preference but he's currently 34. I don't see him landing anywhere, especially since there's (slightly) younger options available.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I think recruiters are hit or miss. I sat down with one and they laid out two job possibilities, both of which I said I was interested in, both of which were entry level with college or minimal experience. They never called me back, even after I called them to check in and get an update. I had...

    Murray + Randle was 2188. I think Randle + DMC gets about 1900. Whoever ends up being the lead back will probably get ~1200 with the other getting ~700. I like to think these are reasonable expectations.

    It basically comes down to whether or not that extra production can be replicated in some form. It can be through the combination of backs now, or for Romo getting more yards. There was a combination of factors which lead to lower Romo yards as a whole, mostly because he wasn't being asked to...

    Dallas. Comparing apples to apples, Dallas only lost one offensive player. Admittedly one that produced a lot last year but he wasn't going to repeat that performance. I consider that a wash. They definitely got better defensively, and the only loss of a huge contributor is due to injury but...

    Yeah but as soon as Murray slowed down and people keyed off him, Romo took over and reminded people why he's the current franchise QB. You could argue the chicken or the egg all you want but Romo is what drives that engine. Murray's success was the combination of a dominant line, his skill, and...

    Most have them with Seattle and Packers as a team to beat. Reading the reports this morning, it looks like the offense will stay the course and that the defense is much improved. Preseason goggles are on though so we'll see what shakes out against the Giants on the 13th.

    Get a focus. I found out post-Navy that generalized knowledge is not valuable unless all you're looking for is low level IT work. Linux admin is growing, big data/storage is just huge because of the cloud. Find something that piques your interest and go after it.

    3 years, let's not get ahead of ourselves. He still traded up for Claiborne and if people hadn't talked him out of it, we'd have Manziel on the roster right now. What we have now are people willing to tell him no and not afraid of the consequences of doing so.

    I agree and it's largely because of owners bowing to public pressure. They're not necessarily making less money if they spend time coaching up a QB, especially if the team is already a dumpster fire, but they have to at least pretend to care to satiate the masses. Browns owner has this down...

    I don't follow college but it seems like it's more about a lack of actual QB teaching than anything.
