  1. Nginx is just a web server, the software itself that serves up the web page you would usually see.

     

    I would say the address itself is wrong somehow.

     

    http://www.yahoo.com/

     

    works fine for me. If you type that in, you still end up with a Nginx welcome message?

     

    Also, yahoo voices it is said was recently hacked so you might want to change your password for yahoo just in case.

     

    Yahoo voices hacked.

  2. I don't see the problem.

     

    No goverment can spend more than it can take in taxes in perpetuity. This goes from the local goverment all the way to the federal.

     

    The fact that politicians lie about this fact all the time doesn't make it factually wrong.

     

    In the end, the only solution seems to be the way Sandy Springs, Georgia is run. In case you haven't seen it, forward to 20:00 minutes.

  3. Eh, I don't see a hidden treasure in the TE position on the Ravens.

     

    Sure, Pitta seems solid, but Dickson seems very unreliable and a really good blocking TE seems absent. I really do think Cam Cameron needs a solid blocking TE to make his version of offense work.

     

    Didn't I see someone post somewhere that the Ravens used their 2 TEs more than almost every other team?

  4. I think the blackout provision is the real problem here, not necessarily the lack of fans in the stand eventhough that too doesn't help of course.

     

    TV-money is the most important source of income and as the number of games that can be broadcasted locally shrinks, so will the TV-money. Let's be realistic, most fans cheer for their local team. If the local football team isn't shown on TV, fans will eventually find another local team of some sort to follow instead.

  5. I actually don't think it will remain as popular as it is now. The main question is what will go first, the influx of new players or fans?

     

    For one, I think the influx of youth into the sport will dwindle due to all the injuries and the longevity of a football career compared to other sports.

     

    In soccer or basketball you can go abroad if you can't cut it in the top league (even if you can't go to the top league in a major soccer nation of course) and still make a decent living for say 10 years. Not so much in football.

     

    I also don't think the move towards a pass only league will prove popular in the long run. If it were, Arena Football would be huge. Football is great because of the balance between offense and defense and unlike two-way sports (basketball, soccer) you can more easily appreciate defensive play in football. You can also score while playing defense in football unlike almost any other sport.

     

    Then there is the whole issue of continuous expansion, ticket price increases, blackouts, etc.

     

    To me, the golden era of football is over. It was 2000 - 2010, but we will see.
