The man, the myth, the legend known as the self proclaimed “King of the Trick Shot” Dude Perfect has been on our radar at TheHoopDoctors.com for some time now as he continually keeps amazing us with his innate trick shot abilities with a basketball.
Even back when we first showed you his ‘09 Summer Camp Edition two Summers ago, we knew this guy had potential as a legendary trick shot artist.
Over the past few years Dude has been adding to his legacy by nailing many improbable long distance shots like these tosses earlier this year when he sinks shots from a moving plane, through a giant donut, and off of a high story building.
With so many competitors now on the horizon like David Kalb and that guy sank a hole-in-one with a basketball, all eying the crown as the World’s Greatest Trick Shot Artist, Dude is going back to his roots by attempting to one-up the shot that originally went viral and made him an internet star….nailing a shot from the 3rd deck at Texas A&M’s football field.
Of course, if you want to go one better than that, one must go to the NFL’s largest outdoor venue: Cowboys Stadium.
Check out Dude Perfect nailing the new World’s Longest Basketball Shot at Cowboys Stadium:

The game of football has provided some amazing trick plays at all levels, from Pee Wee to the pros, and this one pulled off by Driscoll Middle School in Corpus Christi, Texas is certainly among the best of them.
Looking to catch their opposition off guard, the center snaps the ball over his should in a rather unorthodox manner. With the defenders looking on as if the play hadn't begun, Driscoll's quarterback steps through the line before unexpectedly speeding off for the end zone.
This play may have you asking yourself, "Can they even do that?" According to the NFL rules, they can!
According to Rule 7, Section 3, Article 3:
The snap (3-32) may be made by any offensive player who is on the line but must conform to the following provisions:
(a) The snap must start with ball on ground with its long axis horizontal and at right angles to line, and
(b) The impulse must be given by one quick and continuous motion of hand or hands of snapper. The ball must actually leave or be taken from his hands during this motion.
(c) The snapper may not:
(1) move his feet abruptly from the start of snap until the ball has left his hands;
(2) have quick plays after the neutral zone starts if the officials have not had a reasonable time to assume their normal stances.
The snapper clearly snaps the ball in one smooth continuous motion over his shoulder, making it a legal snap, and one of the most spectacular touchdowns you may ever see.

Back in our September 2008 issue, we published a list of 9 Skills Every Nerd Needs – a lighthearted examination of the essential abilities Maximum PC readers should have in their geek arsenal. We still stand by that list, but we were somewhat one-upped last month when we saw that Gizmodo had since run its own list of 50 key geek skills. Their list was very respectable, but we thought that we could do better by not only expanding and refining our original story, but actually teaching you these skills. The highest echelon of geeks will be able to do everything in this list, and this is by no means a full categorization of the complete geek skillset – only what we consider to be the most indispensable abilities. Have anything to add to our list? Post it in the comments!
Finding hidden hardware gems in bins of archaic cards at computer shows and swap meets is an ever-so-crucial nerd skill. Frequently the only way to discern the difference is to do an on-the-spot ID of the edge connector. True nerds should be able to identify even the most esoteric connector in their sleep (if they sleep with their eyes open, that is). Can you separate the crap from the kick ass? No cheating!
A. PCI-Express connector
B. DDR memory
C. Dual-channel RIMM
Any real nerd is almost sure to have a USB thumbdrive in his pocket at all times. After all, USB flash storage is pretty much the best way to keep data conveniently at hand. What the average nerd might not know, however, is that it’s possible to install all sorts of apps on a thumb drive, meaning that you can use your USB stick as a mobile platform for your browser, email and instant message client, office suite and more. That means you can access these programs, settings intact, from any computer with a spare USB slot.
It’s all made possible by PortableApps.com, an open source platform for portable software. To get started with PortableApps, go to this page and download whichever version of the portable suite suits your needs. Then run the installer, and choose to install to the root of your USB drive. In the future, if you want to add additional portable applications just download the app, then select “add a new app” from PortableApps’ options menu and browse to the .paf.exe file you downloaded.
Right now, there are portable versions of heavyweights like Firefox, Thunderbird, and OpenOffice, as well as a whole ton of other, awesome programs.
There are two quick ways to realign bent pins on older CPUs.
The first, quickest way is to take a credit card and run it through the rows of pins in each direction, which will realign lightly-bent pins.
If a pin is bent too far for the credit card trick, use the barrel of a mechanical pencil to sheath the pin and gently bend it back up straight.
