I'd like to join, but I've never done a fantasy league before and I don't know enough about all the players to draft well or manage anything well :/

Last year was my first year and I ended up winning. Generally Yahoo provides pretty good rankings. Hockey is easier to draft than football because the positions are simpler. Well, maybe I just know them better.

I have never done a fantasy league either. Thats why I want to try it. I wouldn't know much about the drafting etc either. I know hockey and a lot of players, but I am more or less a noob there. It is something that is pretty interesting to me though.

There is now about a week or so until the draft. There is still room for a few players.

I preset my custom draft order in case I can't make it. Although, really, it didn't end up being that different from Yahoo's order.

Are we going to close the league to non neowin players by cutting down the slots, or just let em in?

I already cut it down from 12 to 10 (meaning that instead of 4 non-Neowinians, there will be only 2).

If nobody wants to join before the draft then I'll cut it down to 8 and lock everyone else out.

So unless I forget to check/update in two hours, we should have no more than 1 non-Neowinian.

    • Close, but it is for any application starting, not just during boot time. In fact, it probably will not improve boot time at all because during a boot, the CPU is already boosting, so a pre-boost wouldn't change anything. I agree that it isn't exciting (especially considering every other OS already does it), but it is a good thing, even if they are just playing catch up.
    • Any so called performance increase will be in milliseconds, which nobody will actually notice in real world usage.
    • All it does is use the CPU more efficiently during boot to speed up boot times. That's it. Yawn....
    • It's not a one or the other kind of thing. Software should run efficiently, and the operating system should appropriately manage the CPU clocks. You could have the best most optimized software on earth, and it will still run faster if the CPU does a better job of boosting as needed. All this is doing is pre-boosting the CPU based on user actions, instead of waiting for the normal detection mechanism to kick in. If the OS knows it is about to need more CPU, why shouldn't it use that knowledge? It's the same idea of downshifting before passing someone, instead of just burying your foot into the peddle and waiting for the transmission to figure out what you want to do.
