Isn't it a bit too soon to be dismissing all fMRI data as dead fishery? What is the point of replication if not to filter out noise and lurking variables? Even if the statistical processes that produce the image from the raw data are flawed, could they not be detected after the fact?
Cursive? Personal? HA! I get more choice out of "Use a Sans Serif 12 point font" than I ever did out of cursive in middle and elementary school. Every letter must be written in the defined "Cursive" script. When I write with a pen (seldom), I use a fountain pen and my own handwriting and can make my letters as flowing and beautiful or as stringent and legible as I please. Cursive is impersonal, illegible, time consuming, and outdated. Writing by hand will never lose its usefulness, but I'd rather the hours upon hours I was forced to learn to write in cursive were used to teach me to type instead.
I don't think we have to worry about that. As far as I'm concerned, there already is free city-wide Wifi: I can connect to someone's unsecured network from pretty much anywhere in my city. Usually, there is more than one. You could consider it amoral to "steal internet", but as long as you're not torrenting or downloading child porn (or torrenting child porn), it's probably of no consequence.
Isn't it a bit ironic that we have this miraculous communication system which can transmit data all over the world at the speed of light, that we have encoded music and other media such that they can be copied and sent across this network at negligible cost, and that they're trying to indoctrinate us with the idea that none of this is true in order to continue an outdated business model?
There is a saying that for good people to do bad things, it takes religion. I'm beginning to suspect a corollary: For smart people to do stupid things, it takes capitalism.
HEY! Apple's hardware is made to a higher standard. My Macbook is a luxury computer. It's the Ferrari of laptops... Not the engine, but... like... the logo.
You'd think it would be pretty easy to find a red and white striped submarine; though I guess it's currently surrounded by hundreds of other submarines, some of which are painted red and white.
Seems like this could easily backfire: The average computer doesn't know what Linux is, let alone anything about it. By teaching Best Buy employees about Linux, even in this derisive and misleading way, Microsoft is spreading the word about a competing operating system. It's entirely possible that by raising awareness of Linux's existence, they are paving the road for customers to inquire about what Linux is from the internet or their local "tech guy" (usually the youngest person in the household), rather than from some brainwashed teenager working at Best Buy. Meanwhile, real businesses with informed IT departments will continue to use Linux on their servers in overwhelming numbers. Perhaps the year of the Linux desktop is close at hand!
... We need open source software so that the voting process is transparent. I'll stick to any location I can find that still uses paper ballots otherwise. I also seem to remember these machines being trivially easy to tinker with.
Unless you're getting paid for that research. Then you hold out until every proponent of your theory realizes there is satisfactory evidence to discount it.
And then a few of them decided to reverse engineer the Russian's rockets and distribute them as free and open source rocketry, starting a slow and powerful revolution for freer space travel?
Anecdotal evidence is the lowest form of evidence, of course, but three of my friends have had their less-than-one-year-old macs have various parts fail. One of my friends had his Airport card bust on him, one of them had the motherboard inexplicably stop working, and another had his graphics card break. I have also noticed no better battery life.
Maybe avoiding Dell and similar manufacturers has given me a skewed perspective, but I have not personally seen this enormous quality difference most Mac users claim exists.

And it's the year of the linux desktop! The here and now isn't too shabby either!

Sounds like SOMEONE forgot his towel...
I didn't know that hipster dork in the black T shirt and skinny jeans was the pied piper! No wonder PC never wins any arguments against him!
Maybe they could benefit from South African data transfer technology.
When [your heart] works hard it gets sore and it hurts, and then it heals stronger.
You've just solved all my love problems.

GET OFF MY LAWN!
Yeah! Who knows if that rubber has the same capacitance as human skin?
What is the curie temperature for a mouse?
Yeah, Hitler was more the case where, the enemy of my enemy is FUCK IT INVADE RUSSIA WHAT COULD GO WRONG?
I thought that was the Jail.

Your legs may look fine in lycra shorts, but that's not the only thing they accentuate.
And my legs are lithe, tanned forms of beauty. The ancient Greeks would have used me to sculpt statues of Hermes.
Imagine a Beowulf Cluster of these things!

A trivially lower drag coefficient is totally worth the discomfort.
If you can change the constants of the universe, you probably already killed everyone an infinite number of times, preemptively.
