If a website is slow, and looks ugly users are going to be less likely to use it.
Litigation in the making... All the major sports leagues are notorious for protecting their brands and trademarks -- NFL, MLB, NHL,etc -- , simply look at the licensing deals some sites like Yahoo have needed to go through. And to top it off, they are mixing in virtual dollars (gambling) into the mix, which has been under fire recently in the U.S. Its an untapped market for sure, but a snake-pit in litigation issues.…
I think the Java vs. Flex debate is out of place here. The way Matt's comment re Java fits into the discussion has more to do with the amount of attention that most Fantasy Sports providers are giving to the domain. In that context, I think Matt is on the money. The big providers are not keenly focused on the problem. I'm an avid fantasy sports fan, and my experience has been far from optimal. The killer part of the…
We're staying away from states where that test is too stringent (i.e., many states ban games that involve any luck at all). In the ones in which we operate (39) the test is typically that luck is the predominant factor. We feel that given a large sample we can mathematically prove that a player can win over time regardless of luck. We're certainly seeing that so far.
I'm sorry, but no one has the right to compare themselves to Steve Jobs.

Matt you've got to learn to better appreciate your team, future Steve Jobs or not.

It doesn't stop at non-appreciation. Matt literally beats team members when they can't get features completed on time. I can post my bruises to flickr if you want?

Stop using Linux. Problem solved.
I'd love to hear your suggestion for a replacement. Any ideas where I can get an open OS that does exactly what I want it to while being absolutely sure that my personal activity is not being recorded or monitored in some way (either by vendor or virus)? Is there any OS where I can copy my $HOME directory to a newly-installed system and have all my applications behave in the same way they did on my old one? Other tha…
The problem is paravirtualization still isnt supported in the x64 kernel. So its still too slow to do heavy tasks in. And you still need lots of ram and cores if you want to do lots of simultaneous work.

Actually, with virutalization you can have best of both worlds. Just run a VMWare or Xen instance of Windows XP inside Linux and you can switch back and forth on the fly for that type of stuff. It works great for development. The problem is paravirtualization still isnt supported in the x64 kernel. So its still too slow to do heavy tasks in.
