Now that Google planes are to be housed in a private terminal at SJC the congressmen who get angry about Google housing its fleet at Moffett Field can no longer grouse about that.
Plus it is a fair bet the resurfacing of Hangar One will have to be done by the government or some other private entity. So Hangar One may look like this for quite some time
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Michigan and Penn State will still have more seats, but this will be a huge stadium

Ok so there was a thread at Google recently from an engineer looking for resources to teach his 12 year old child how to code.
Some of the suggestions:

Originally they were going to announce last Tuesday but the Boston Marathon bombing happened and they postponed
So the new date of the announcement is May 2
Expect the numbers to be staggering
1 billion $$$ / year (current deal is ~$270 Million / year)
You think the SEC is glad they added Texas A&M and Missouri and allowed them to renegotiate the TV contract?
Plus with money like this raining down on the 14 schools in the SEC, you think other schools would be interested in SEC expansion to 16?
But do not think that will happen anytime soon. More schools means you have to split the pie more ways.
And a 4x increase in revenue is impressive but difficult to duplicate
Plus Texas A&M would veto any plan to add another Texas school to the SEC and be joined by Florida, SC, Kentucky, and Georgia
Texas likes to suggest A&M betrayed the Big XII and destroyed the 100+ year rivalry by joining the SEC. For anyone to suggest that move was anything other than brilliant at this point is ludicrous.
Besides A&M wanted to continue to play Texas on Thanksgiving in spite of being in different conferences (Florida plays Florida State every year and they are in different conferences, Georgia-Georgia Tech, Clemson-SC, and so on)
The truth is A&M would like to continue to play Texas and Texas has sour grapes about the Aggies bolting for the SEC. They say they are happy with their 2-1 victory ratio and their victory in the final game played in the series (for now)
My belief is if A&M continues to improve and become possibly the best team in Texas (they were last year for sure) on a consistent basis then Texas will continue to refuse to renew the rivalry because they are afraid they would lose.
For myself, at least, I hope we play again. Saw varsity's horns off...

So there is a senior wide receiver coming into the NFL draft who scored a 7 out of 50 in the 50 question, 12 minute Wonderlic test
In this case the receiver attended the University of West Virginia
Dexter Manley attended Oklahoma State in the 80s and went on to become an NFL star at the Washington Redskins and admitted in his 30s he was illiterate and could not read.
How can you spend 4 years in college and get a single digit Wonderlic score without the presence of academic fraud?

Sample Wonderlic test.

(7) Program complexity grows until it exceeds the capability of the programmer who must maintain it.
