Well if xeon's name was something like Athlon then I'd say dreaming of AMD processers and gurls, and don't forget the chicken chop.
Personally I like AMD. I always like the underdog. (good toon btw).

Well if you like underdogs, you gotta root for my Angels to win the World Series!

actually, since most of my family is from new york, I root for the yankees. Clearly... this angels team was from **** for all yankee fans. Of course, I could root for the mets, but that would be counter productive since they are in the same division as the (philadelphia) phillies, whom I also cheer for. So... with the yankees gone, cardinals all the way!
So is that where Xeon is from :confused: Speaking of devils, will the Red Devils conquer EUFA :rolleyes:Quote:

You mean will they win in 2004? Hahahaha... They are our national team and they couldn't conquer Belgium if they wanted to, let alone Europe. Although the French suck recently (we won from them in a qualification match before the world cup!!!), Germany actually too but they got lucky in the World Cup to get so far (as did many other countries). But even then there is still virtually every other European country that is a tough deal for our team.Quote:

That was not luck but hard work. We could blame the refs here and there but the guys love their soccer ;)Quote:

Well I don't know. I'm kinda rooting for the Twins due to them almost losing the team due to contraction. If they win the world series that's really sticking it in the owners face.Quote:

I'm an O's fan BTW. Hasn't been much to cheer about (except for for the glory of Cal jr), but we have the BEST stadium. Every baseball fan should come to camden yards at least once. Don't forget to hit little italy for some chow then on to fells point for some night life ;)
Ok, a little love for the O's fans. My wife is from Baltimore and she gets me to root for them as well, but it's been hard to do that recently.

Agreed. Excellent stadium. I was there only once, unfortunately though, not to see a game, but at least I got to go on the field :). Camden Yards has this oldish-newish field. It's slightly historic (not as historic as, say, Yankee Stadium) but also up close and personal. It's new and modern but gives an old time feel with its bricks and old foul pole and the building in right field... very nice place to spend a Sunday afternoon. And, if I recall correctly, not far from H:eek::eek:ters!Quote:

:D :D ;) :p
This thread is now in the top ten! That means it's on the front page under hot threads! Domination is close...
I think that because this formu is about programing I would like to see a discusion on programing. What do you think makes a good program? What makes a good programer? How do you design your programs?
I am probably the only one here that is not a team sports fan. I like indivual sports (tennis, golf & racing). You only get paid for what you accomplish.
I'm not much of a team sports fan either. I like Boxing, Kickboxing, but I sometimes watch hockey.
I generally like sports where the beat the u know what out of each other.

Yep hooters is down in the inner harbour. It's about hmm maybe a mile or two to walk from the stadium to there. And how long it takes you depends on how many bars you hit on the way ;)
Do you think you aren't working as hard if you're helping the team instead of yourself? Sports like baseball, soccer, football, etc. still require a maximal physical exertion. The effort is still there. Team sports are generally more complex and there is more action, more strategy, etc. That's why they're better to watch. In terms of which type is better to play, it depends on your own personal interests.Quote:

By the way, even in team sports, athletes get paid for what they accomplish. What they do in one year determines how much they will be paid the following year. It's not like they're getting paid a ton of money because they sit around and do nothing. Some sports have a higher average salary because they attract more fans and merchandising (=more money), and these are the team sports for reasons stated above.
It's fine that you prefer individual sports, but your reasoning is hardly solid.
It's probably just me but I used to be a Redskins fan. It seemed like everytime they raised a players pay then the next year they were really bad, like they didn't care because they got their money. I am not talking about others enjoy, just that I lost intrest in team sports, afterall baseball is America's sport.
