We'll never be in a position where Obama is firing Roger Ailes.
That threshold has already been crossed regarding the automotive and financial industries, at least for any company that was foolish enough to accept the government's aid.
In other words, the whole thing is pure BS, and very very slighly bad for the crops, and there are many many rather nasty chemicals in diesel exhaust.
Read the thread to see why your complaint about nitrogen isn't valid. You can't make up for your slight knowledge of the subject by more aggressively declaring yourself correct.
Except that the media and newspapers that think taking money from the state is acceptable get free money, while the ones that don't, don't. That presents a systematic bias in the market.
Obama has been unloading with both barrels into Fox News about how they are not journalists while MSNBC gets a pass. Which is funny because Fox has been the one unearthing all sorts of things that are damaging to his administration while MSNBC is just doing fluff pieces for Obama.
Shameful on the administration's part. There's plenty of things to criticize FOX for; but it's ridiculous to think they're MORE biased or less factual than any of the other networks. They're ALL crap. FOX just happens to be biased in a direction the administration doesn't like.
Poor planning on the administration's part, too. That sort of stuff just works to FOX's advantage, in a Striesand-effect kind of way.
There is public funding of the arts in many countries - this does not produce pro-government art.
Do you get art critical of the public funding of arts? Probably not.
There's a selection bias in these sorts of things. The artists probably don't change or lie about their political convictions just because they're getting some money; but the only artists getting the money are those artists who think it's ok to take money from taxpayers to pay for their art. That inevitably slants things.
You're are misreading. The precedent is that news organisations can intentionally lie. Get it? They don't even have to pretend that they didn't know they were lying!
He's not misreading. There's no such thing as an unintentional lie. Should it be illegal for YOU to lie?
That raises the bar for being credulous, but perhaps that's what conservatives look for in their media.
Ah, you're just a partisan bitching about the other side.
The BBC is a government institution that holds its own purse strings -- effectively having the right to raise its own taxes.
Which gives it an innate political bias. There are significant and important political ideologies that view the existence of such institutions as wrong; do you think the BBC isn't biased when reporting on them?
Really? Do they have two different versions? I'm asking seriously, because I was browsing the online version out of curiosity a few days ago, and it was as ridiculous as any issue of the National Enquirer. Perhaps the website isn't representative of the paper, or the English translation is just that bad?
It did contain a sadly entertaining article congratulating the US on it's move away from failed capitalism, and embracing the socialist concepts the rest of the caring, humane, civilized world believes in. *Sigh*
Or everybody knowing English, which would be a good thing. Not because English is superior, but because having ANY language as a truly universal lingua franca would be wonderful.
16 megs instead of 4 megs ram, clock speed is about doubled. Still no powerhorse, but enough to make a noticeable difference in games... except nobody's made games for it, yet. It mainly perked my interest in emulation and modding, though; the web browser that barely worked in 4mb might do a pretty good job in 16mb.
You're not supposed to switch, any more than you should buy a new DS because they introduce a new color. This is just a different variant of the DSi. They've kept all specs except for physical size the same.
There's no reason for anybody to get this if they are satisfied with the size of the standard DS screen... and if they AREN'T satisfied, this is a good option to have.
You're missing his point. This gen it's Wii/360 as 1st and 2nd. Last gen it was PS2/Gamecube (or PS2/xbox, 2nd place was close). The prior gen it was PS1/N64.
Not if your portable is still outselling your home system, which in turn is outselling all competitors. That probably indicates you're doing something right. It's not like products are 'supposed' to be certain prices.
Only for 2nd place. Nobody reasonably thinks the 360 or PS3 will ever surpass the Wii. It would take two years for the PS3 to catch up, even if the Wii stopped all sales completely, today; and since the Wii is still currently outselling the PS3 and 360, the gap is getting larger every week.
That said, I think the Wii hasn't yet hit the halfway point of getting to the PS2's sales, so it's still got at least a few more years before it starts setting records. the PS2 hit a really sweet spot.
I bought a squid adapter for something like $3 from dealextreme, that had USB -> Every Nintendo handheld power plug in existence. I should have bought several of them, honestly.
The PS3 had a short-term spike due to the introduction of a new model. It has since dropped back down to below the Wii. The pertinent question is whether the new PS3 model will be able to continue outselling the 360.
Not knocking the PS3, it's a great console; but neither Sony or MS come close to approaching Nintendo's success this gen.
I thought a hot fix was a fix, patch, or upgrade applied while a system was running (without needing a suspend or reboot). It would make no sense to ask how many hotfixes Linux had, though; a fresh installation would have none.
Your internet service, sure. Google groups is a free service, and the spammers are taking advantage of it just like you are. Now, they're rude and obnoxious, and I'm sure mimicking user accounts surely breaks some terms of service, so I'm not defending them; but you don't have 'rights' on somebody else's forum.
In the comment you linked to, he had written one line: "There is nothing wrong with the DS as is, I just wish there was a way to hook it to my TV."
You consider that spreading fanboyism? I think you need to reign yourself in a little bit. Otherwise, I agree with you about the PSP; it certainly wasn't a failure (although I suspect the PSPgo may end up being one). It wasn't near the massive success the DS was, but on the other hand, it may be the first serious competitor Nintendo's ever had in the handheld realm.
If the description is right, it's simply a variant with a larger screen. Not much more different than a new color. It's not an 'upgrade', and if you feel obligated to buy this to keep current, you are the one with the problem, not Nintendo.
Add another possibility to your ameliorating factors:
5. The attractiveness of youth.
My understanding is that part of the mutations that produce Homo Sapiens was... I forget the proper term for it... retention of youthful characteristics into adulthood. For instance, slimmer, lighter bone structure, less hairy, larger head, along with some mental traits like playfulness and curiosity.
If that's the case, Homo Sapiens could very well look like a Neandertal teenager. Youth is often more attractive to men, for obvious health and reproductive reasons. In conclusion: Neandertals probably kept on stealing our women, which is why we had to wipe them out.
When I first saw this article, it was tagged with both "Democrat" and "Republican". I'm pleased to see that both of those have been moderated away. It seems Slashdot has enough sensible people moderating that some of the juvenile political jabs can be squashed.

Haven't you spread enough fanboyism already?

This comment made me laugh, no insult intended, because I really can't tell if you are being straightforward or being terribly sarcastic.
I've seen so many console wars in various forums that I just can't tell anymore.
I hope it is; otherwise, it really WOULD be a new model.
