I'm not sure that the math doesn't work out. I'd think that 80% of the part of the military that actively engages in combat is well below 5% of the population. I'd consider it obvious that psychopaths would be much more likely to join a g

Exactly. The key difference is how advanced the statistics that matter are in the different sports. Only very advanced stats will really tell the story in basketball whereas it is much easier to see in baseball with just baseline stats.

By most statistical measures, the Lakers are an elite defensive team. They allow only 0.458 efg% and 101 points per 100 possessions. I'm not exactly sure where that rates overall in the league, but I'd guess they are both in the top 15% o

If your method only has one responsibility, the chance that you need to "hide" any code is almost nonexistant.

Although your point on efficiency stands (at least with data structures that have to reshuffle contents on deletion), the type of loop that you use has nothing to do with the order that you delete the elements. You could easily do somethin

Actually, you will never delete the final element with that code. I think what you meant was: for (int i=this.MyControl.TabPages.Count; i > 0; i--) { this.MyControl.TabPages.Remove(this.MyControl.TabPages[i-1]); }

What do you mean by "relatively easy to create"? If anything, I'd say that an MMORPG is probably the hardest (and most time consuming) genre of game to create.

I can appreciate continuancy of mind, but red squiggles shouldn't be a deterrant to that. Rather, it is simply saving you the step of compiling before giving you information. You can just as easily train yourself to not worry about red sq

What you just described is the opposite of targeted advertising. Advertising, in general, can be disruptive, but targeted advertising is definitely better than random advertising (which fits better with your example).
