    OT: Antivirus for Windows 10?

    The elevated privileges that Antivirus apps require actually make them a high-risk threat vector for your computer being attacked. With Windows 10, Microsoft finally has good enough built-in security tools that you do not need to install a third-party antivirus and are most likely more secure...

    OT: Cargo Shorts...

    You get what you pay for. The arcteryx pants are basically indestructible. The only time I've managed to damage a pair was snagging a leg during a crampon kick-in while ice climbing. But rock climbing, hiking, bush-whacking, backpacking, and lots of everyday wear . .. no issues. You can handwash...

    OT: Cargo Shorts...

    If you (or your loved ones) have aesthetic concerns about cargo shorts, then I suggest technical shorts, which fulfill many of the same functions but without the bulgy profile and manufactured from material that is light-weight, breathes better, and dries faster...

    OT Cool hotels in NYC

    Hudson Hotel is very nice and has one of my favorite NYC bars in it. Also a fantastic location just a couple blocks from Central Park.

    New Rutgers Pizza Delivery

    Pauly's Pizza down in San Diego is pretty good for east coast pizza on the west coast. Feels like a real NYC/NJ slice joint when you walk in.

    Way OT: Where to stay in Auckland NZ?

    We stayed in the Auckland waterfront Hilton (thanks reward points) when we were there and had a lovely time. There isn't anything particularly special about it, but they took care of us well. Staying on the water is really nice and the bus system is both convenient and easy to navigate, so we...

    Depth Chart 2016-17

    The biggest impact of the 3 pointer, though, is not the fact that it is worth more (though that is definitely nice) but that the threat of the 3 distorts defense and creates easier looks on offense. We actually saw that a fair bit this year with Hernandez in the game, before she got hurt. Teams...

    WBB in Top 10 where it matters!

    Stringer has carried a longer bench in the last few years, which corresponds to the APR rise. Those walk-ons aren't just there for practice purposes.

    Kahleah invited to attend WNBA draft in person

    wow @BeKnighted you were that down on Hollivay? Remember that Junaid went in the third round. The talent pool for athletic centers in WBB is not large. I figured Rachel for a 2nd round lock. Especially when you look at the history of talented Rutgers centers out-performing their college level in...

    Depth Chart 2016-17

    I don't see next year's team being better than this year's. But we'll see. Will take a lot of growth from some of the young players who haven't shown much yet.

    Depth Chart 2016-17

    If we have Sanders, Parker, and Sciafe on the floor at the same time, Parker will be playing the SF.

    Jordan FIRED-HOBBS IS THE MAN

    Stringer has 2 years left, if Rutgers picks up her extension. She also has basically has 2 years left to get to 1000 wins, assuming she can field marginally competitive teams (side note, could also be a reason for Rutgers to accept a WNIT bid this year. Some insurance wins). While I have no idea...

    OT: Colonial Williamsburg/Busch Gardens

    Highly recommend you get one of the multi-day passes for Busch Gardens and Water Country USA. The water park is definitely worth a day. I will also second that for younger kids without a bent for American history, Jamestown is probably more fun than Williamsburg. I loved Williamsburg as a kid...

    4-10 Minute Quarters and some other interesting rule changes

    I'd say more like the NBA game and the FIBA game, but that's just me.

    4-10 Minute Quarters and some other interesting rule changes

    I love the 4 quarters and the elimination of the 1-and-1. The quarter system drastically decreases the negative value of any given foul (since the bonus resets every 10 minutes instead of every 20 minutes). To me this is great because is reduces the impact of the referee variability on the...
