Why don't you run this on one of the HUNDREDS of sites that will run a pool for you for free - who has the time to go through all these picks to see who won, etc..

I have never seen a site that does this though, but I agree it would probably be easier on Boog if something would do it automatically.

Well hit me over the head with a wet noodle: Link.  Boog you should create a private group, up to 50 people can sign up.

I would, but then people would sign up, and not do anything...no picks, nothing. I really don't mind doing this. Course, if everyone else wants to....I suppose we can do it.

Week 3:

Arizona at Atlanta

Baltimore at Cincinnati

Chicago at Minnesota

Cleveland at N.Y. Giants

Houston at Kansas City

Jacksonville at Tennessee

New Orleans at St. Louis

Philadelphia at Detroit

Pittsburgh at Miami

San Diego at Denver

Green Bay at Indianapolis

San Francisco at Seattle

Tampa Bay at Oakland

Monday Night:

Dallas at Washington 38

I just set up a league for the hell of it. If you are the comissioner of the league you can boot people. So if they are not participating you can boot them. But the nice thing about it Boog, you can set an email option that emails everyone a day before the deadline to pick their picks for the week. Also it has an option for the deadline, you can set it 5 mins before the first game of the week, a day before the game of the week, 5 mins before each game, etc etc to make your picks. I think it is a good idea, plus it would be a ton of less work for you to go through all the threads and checking the scores, which could be error prone. It just seems like a very nice system.;);) Only problem is that we lose the last two weeks of our scores, but in the end they could be added to the Yahoo scores.

Can you as commish create picks for weeks one and two? If so, I will make it, and set it up.

It does not look like you can, but you could always add the scores in the end from the first two weeks. Here I will send you a PM with my league and you can see what it looks like.

..ok, moved to yahoo and picks set, automation sucks for this though, I liked looking over picks in the thread.

Well looking over other peoples picks does not quite make it fair now does it? ;)

Cheaters never prosper!!! I like the picks being mysterious. It will make it harder for those who were basing their picks on others. Anyway I think after the games are over or after the deadline is reached to enter picks, everyone's will be revealed.

No problem at all. :) Feel free to always check back...I'll still do this week's totals, if we don't like the Yahoo format. I will assume if you don't enter the format there and you do here, ( like [sanctified]) then I assume you prefer this.

I'm not in Yahoo's, so yes, I prefer it this wa:):)

I'm talking about after, if you notice normally my picks are in before a lot of people post. I don't compare picks and choose from that, if I did.. I wouldn't have been 6-10 in week 2! :p

I just feel a little bad for Boog that he is going to have to go through (33+ Neowinians) * (256 games) = 8,448 picks and that is not counting playoffs. Why should a error prone human do work when we have computers! :D Oh well, it is up to Boog in the end anyway. I just think the yahoo setup is pretty cool looking, much like the fantasy football Neowin league. Plus it doesn't hurt trying it because you can check your wins on Yahoo and then compare it to Boog because he might fall asleep at the wheel figuring out everyone's picks because if that was me I sure would. :p

@+-=SD=-: We were just hastling you a bit, its okay! :laugh:

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
