    To be a "world class" X (whatever X is) ...

    I agree with the muscle memory aspect that was mentioned. If you have talent, it's okay to start later. But if you start younger you will have a better muscle memory, the pathways will have been developed longer. I can think of a few swimmers who started later and became pretty good. Ed Moses...

    Does swimming build muscle?

    You will build muscle from swimming, as long as you don't wimp out and do crappy stroke. However, eventually I think you'll reach a plateau at a certain point, in which case you'll need something extra to increase muscle again. That is just from my experience. Most swimmer's weight programs...

    Consulting Companies

    When I did some consulting in Ottawa, they would take ~10-25% of what the company actually pays. Which looking in the other posts in this thread wasn't that bad :) (but it felt like it :D)

    Swimming WC (great day for Americans)

    I'm impressed with Phelps' WR in the 200fr. Also, I was impressed by Park taking the 400 fr. I've got a few friends down there competing now so I'm keeping a watchful eye :)

    significance of the full model should be given by the f-statistic. (MSR/MSE) I've never used excel to do regression, post the anova table.

    Study shows why exercise boosts brainpower

    I'm on the fence for this issue. I spend time with a lot of athletes and I'd say that on the whole they're no different than any other group of people. There are smart ones and there are not so smart ones.

    Indoor Skydiving and Bulging Discs

    depends on the size of the bulge. I had a pretty massive one. But if you want it to get better you've got to do physio, and not do things that aggravate it. Like twisting or bending activities (assuming a lower back one). Physio is the key to recovery. That being said, physio didn't work for...

    Which gender spends more money?

    I presume that it's only useless to us men. They have some 'logic' behind purchasing it. Besides are you willing to wear the underwear your wife buys?

    Have any of you guys had a hernia?

    I have a herniated disc at L5/S1. Compression of the sciatic nerve root. Very pleasant. Had it since January. Makes it hard to compete/train sometimes. Awaiting surgery.

    Swimming - breathing question

    Then you just have to get used to needing to breathe out less. Like I mentioned before, think about it as breathing as you would on land, just less frequently. You need to control your breath. Practice will get you more comfortable with the water.

    Is it just me... (Urine Test)

    30 mL? That's nothing! For the tests I need to do they need 150mL (so they can split it into 2 samples) with a minimum specific gravity (ie it can't be too dilute). I've only had to provide a second sample once thank god

    Swimming - breathing question

    try this: while kicking holding onto the wall (ie you are perpendicular to the wall), blow out some of your air, rotate your head to the right while dropping the right arm under your body like you would if you were doing a pull, breathe in when your mouth is above the water (this should occur...

    Is it just me... (Urine Test)

    Peeing on demand is easy... as long as there is no one watching. In the past year I've been drug tested 4 times, each time someone follows me into the washroom, i have to pull my pants down to mid thigh, pull up my shirt to chest, and then pee in the container. It's tough, I still haven't...

    Mathmatica, mathcad, maple?

    I use Maple.. but that's because I worked there once. I believe Matlab = numerical computation and maple = symbolic computation. If I'm thinking of matlab correctly *edit* I didn't even answer the original question. Sorry, can't be much help though. I'm not too sure which to use.

    Physics/probability question

    I'm glad to know you're curious, but really the idea is fairly difficult to understand without group theory knowledge. Just to throw out a few key ideas though : groups acting on sets, Cauchy-Frobenius thm and the polya-burnside method. That's basically what you'll need to know to understand it...

    Physics/probability question

    Answer had nothing to do with prob. and everything to do with group theory. So I wouldn't worry about knowing how the answer came around, just see what you can get for it :) Excellent, my skills are not yet dull :D

    Any triathletes in the house?

    I've only done sprint ones in the past. In general from what I've seen you need to be decent enough on the siwm to keep with the lead pack, a decent enough biker to stick with the lead pack on the bike, then a strong runner to pull away at the end.

    Are there any web proxys that simulate dialup speed so a web developer can see how his page loads?

    try using http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/wso.php?url= with your url on the end there. It will tell you how long (theoretically) it should take, and also how many files it had to get, etc.

    Looks like I have to go to University...

    To teach in Korea you need a degree, NOT a diploma or a partially complete degree, but a full degree. As well you will need to do some in class teaching. Atleast that's what a couple of my friends had to do before taking a job teaching english in Korea.

    any ATOT swimmers?

    freestyle is definitely the fastest. breaststroke is not the most efficient stroke for competitive swimmers. However, for you, I would recommend maybe a combination of freestyle and double arm backstroke with breaststroke kick for rest. Though if you messed up your knee, maybe sticking...

    Ahh, the greedy corporation shows its ugly face again...

    I really hate how people are making this sound like a terrible thing to do to her. But really, it's not that bad. The only part of the bill she paid with her own money was the penny. The state dept, salvation army paid the rest of the bill. Also I don't like the way the article is written...

    Need a program to factor large (50 digit) numbers

    Which you can now test for in polynomial time, thanks to indian mathematicians. however, I think that he probably gave you a public rsa key or something like that.. maybe it's his key, so your chances of factoring it... pretty much 0.

    I think I had miktex or something like that on my computer before. Right now I use eclipse and the latex plug-in. but that's only because I have a fetish for eclipse. sorry.. edited twice already. but I have miktex as the latex compiler and I use the eclipse plugin for editing.
