The authors provide numerous reasons for this, from the concepts such as natural, traditional and holistic, to attacks on the scientific method by the alternative medical community and more.
This _really_ makes me angry. When I talk to someone about homeopathy, they always tell me about how "alopathy" doesn't work on prevention and how all those "chemicals" do bad things for your health.
I think they don't relate the studies saying "don't eat too much fat, it's bad for your heart" and "don't smoke, you bastard, or your lungs will collapse" with prevention. I don't know why.
I don't have a problem with people getting cured by placebos. But I do want them to notice that, if they have TB, it's the "oh-my-god-they're-so-bad" antibiotics that will probably save them.
I know that. Some time ago I searched for an incremental operator (some kind of simple a++ or something like inc(a)) but I found that the people who asked about that were having their heads hammered.
LOLCODE would be Pastafarianism - An esoteric, Internet-born belief that nobody really takes seriously, despite all the efforts to develop and spread it.
WHAT??? What do you mean no one takes Pastafarianism seriously?? Die, infidel!
Who hear who codes in C or C++ hasn't had a similar bug in their own code from time to time even though you were sure you'd debugged everything and the code passed through testing fine?
That's why you should use Java. This would never happen!
Nah. The webcam doesn't work because the chipset has no drivers for Linux, and the company which supplies the chipset refuses to open their specs so the community could write their own drivers.
I bought a laptop for my wife some time ago. It came with a extremely bad distro that tried to resemble Windows XP in every way - and, of course, it failed.
So, I asked her if she wanted to try Ubuntu, and installed it in the laptop. I had some problems with drivers for the webcam (which still doesn't work) and the wireless driver (which works using ndiswrapper).
She never typed a single 'apt-get' in the command line (in fact, I think she doesn't even know there is one) but, after the initial setup, I didn't have to help her at all. And now, even being an average computer user, she is trying to spread Linux to her friends and colleagues.
He also said since other similar emoticons -:-) or;) or:) - resemble the one he has trademarked, use of those symbols could also fall under his ownership.

...and I thought apt tax was some kind of Debian software.

Done. Nothing more to do in my "hello world" python program.
COBOL can't be Islam. Islam numbers are always increasing.
Maybe it was a DoS attack or something.
You have to pay nobody to learn it. It's fun and there's no Xeno. Also, nobody was attacked after saying bad things about it. I think.

So, does this mean as soon as they have 10% cost overrun their license is revoked?
Man, it took me a while, but I figured it out: it's 12.5%.
(Also, please be sure to point out that 200-->225 is not a 10% overrun or your geek-license will be revoked.)
Done.
Sir, you've been diagnosed. Please go to the nearest hospital.

I think that most people that read news about IT don't use IE already.
Nah. The webcam doesn't work because the chipset has no drivers for Linux, and the company which supplies the chipset refuses to open their specs so the community could write their own drivers.
I have a friend who said once that you can give sexual meaning to any statement as long as you end it with "if you know what I mean". Something like:
Now I will recompile my kernel, if you know what I mean.
Maybe people could use a sentence like that to imply sarcasm... maybe 'Obviously'.
...if you know what I mean.
Maybe sarcasm is good to identify other diseases as well. That's why House is so good!

You're assuming that the control group didn't exercise their brains at all (by playing checkers, for instance).
Asking senior citizens to play Starcraft might have been a step too far.
What could possibly go wrong?
(I'd love to zergling-rush my GrandMother. "Eat my creep, Grandma!")
I did read it, but if I mentioned it, I'd lose a joke.
D_mn, I'll be p_ying for my sig.
It seems he patented Times New Roman size 12pt too!
He also said since other similar emoticons - :-) or ;) or :) - resemble the one he has trademarked, use of those symbols could also fall under his ownership.
In Soviet Russia, emoticons patent-ize you.
There's also Koopa Troopa.
Man, I need a job like this. I mean, well, being an executive. My job sucks. In a bad way.
