You need to recall that this was Obama's Hope and Change idea. Can't blame for people expecting him to keep his word on ideas that he sponsored.

Hopefully you enjoy it, though you could stand a bit of improvement. But hey, if you enjoy it, who am I to judge?

I'd vote for getting rid of the fucksticks first.

The Ouya made it to shelves. That might not be the line in the sand you're looking for. ;)

Not now, not ever.

Well, I guess this discussion is over then. /s You're not wrong to be wary of FB, but absolutes don't advance anything here.

You're looking for momentum. Should I hit the tree, or the tumbleweed rolling toward me?

We already have reflective paint.
We already have 256k.

Should be good enough for anybody.

It's not a years of school requirement, it's an age requirement. Someone can go play in other leagues until they reach the minimum age. Turns out that D1 college basketball is the best place (talent pool, visibility, age-specific coaching).

has helped several Davidson students score in the 96th percentile (or higher) in ESPN's bracket challenge

How hard is it to reach the 96th percentile? Let's say you teach this course for 3 yrs with 20 students per course. I think the odds are decent that one of those students would be in the 96th (odd number to choose, don't ya think?) percentile? I'm going with crappy journalism.
