They discuss that, and it's the difference between security and control. You're describing control, not security, because the central authority can and will still have security problems. If you can solve the security problems in the central authority, then it's often a simple extension to fix the security of the clients. In other words, a keyboard and mouse sending input and you getting a video feed still doesn't fix the problem of aimbots because they can still plug the video feed into a computer and have the keyboard and mouse just be output from that same machine. Is it harder to do? Yes, but it's far from impossible.
On the other hand, if you make the software correctly from the ground up, it's as hard to hack the client as it would be to hack the keyboard and mouse and video feed. Control doesn't fix security problems, it changes them, often making a hack harder to do but more catastrophic in its result.
Not really. Like autistic people whose higher brain functions are impaired but have a greatly increased capacity for math, it's possible that the monkeys have a greater capacity for memory because humans have evolved to displace the memory with something else. If there's a choice between a memory that's 40% better or the ability to use tools, I'll take the tools. Likewise, if you can remember twice as many things in order, but I can remember those things AND their associations to themselves and the world around them, I'm going to have an advantage to survival.
Fry's is, as I understand it, better than those two, and then you get places like Newegg and EBCComputers (a shop in Utah) where things get better. But out of the big store, there are no good choices.
People who need techs from a professional shop should get techs from a professional shop. Otherwise, they should know what kind of tech they're hiring and adjust their expectations accordingly.
Then for research where it's more important to perform the research in a valid way than it is to protect the users privacy, they can release the data to that researcher alone. For things such as improving the recommendation of movies, the bias should be okay.
The only problem I could see is if they didn't get the users' permission first. If the users give their permission, then where's the problem? If not, what the hell was Netflix thinking? I understand selection bias, but that doesn't change the fact that users care about their privacy.
what if everyone on your Friends List were notified each time you killed a Little Sister--or every time you rescued one--like the Status Updates on Facebook? I'd be annoyed as hell? As if it weren't already bad enough...
But seriously, we're not affected by games because we're focusing on our performance, not what's happening. Those who focus on games are affected by them; where's the problem?
On the one hand, people tout the web as a great platform for communicating ideas, from anyone to anyone. On the other hand, people keep saying that html needs to be standards compliant, the browsers need to fit the standard and that it should be exact and break catastrophically at a mistake. Sorry, but you can only have one of those things. If a page has a major breakdown because a closing tag is missing, then someone like my mother would just give up trying. Internet Explorer, for all its problems, was very good at error forgiveness, and it opened up the platform for a lot of people. If you want the internet to be an open place where anyone can put information, then it needs to be forgiving of people who aren't web developers and programmers. Otherwise, it's only a medium for programmers to communicate, and it loses a lot of its value.
I would imagine just the opposite. It takes a lot of money to get those artists signed onto a label and then touring. If you have a group/singer/whatever that can only sing one good song, they're not going to have the touring ability that a great group with more depth will have. The one hit wonder made a lot of money because people bought it for 10x the price. Now that people can buy albums in whole or in part, they can choose to pay more money for albums with multiple good singles on it.
Wii Play isn't a bundled game. In addition, you aren't taking into account how much longer the developers have had to work with the xbox 360, which allows for more games like Forza and Mass Effect, the games that take a while to make. Also, there are about 33% more xbox 360s that have been sold. Overall, the Wii is still doing as well or better than the xbox in software sales, which means that overall they're doing much better.
Actually, I did RTFA and it doesn't change the fact that those are valid criticisms of the research. Everyone also says we breathe air, but it doesn't make the statement less valid. With the ethical standards that they have to live up to when dealing with humans, how did they eliminate these possibly-confounding variables? Do you have anything that actually contradicts those criticisms other than, "hey, everyone always says that"?
one of those acts is much more natural than the other Natural has nothing to do with this, it's the benefit to society. What's more natural, to try to compromise with someone you're not related to when there's competition over a resource or to kill them to insure that you keep monopolizing it?
Sex isn't innocent either. Not being married is a big indicator of poverty, ie if you're married you're less likely to be poor. The more sex in society the more likely that a girl is to have a child outside of wedlock, and that's bad news for the child being born and for the mother. Being raised on welfare in a bad neighborhood doesn't bode well for the child, does it?
The issue of sex and violence in our society is a very complex one. Smoking is a fairly straightforward physical process compared to the neurological processes that go into how violence affects those who witness it. If scientists were ethically allowed to experiment directly on people then they might be able to gather some good data, but as it is there's too many variables to make it a straightforward comparison.
How does this work with the decline in violent crimes through the 90s? How come they don't address the issue that those who were going to commit violence anyway are going to gravitate towards violent games and media? This isn't even original research, just research into the research that's been done. This doesn't add up very well at all.

The Book of Mormon isn't clear on which direction the ships came from, but the most widely-believed theories are that the earlier migration was from the East (Europe/Africa) while the later one was from the West (India/Asia), both by boats. Also, it doesn't "blow all sorts of holes in their religion", it merely contradicts one of the beliefs.
Having a good experience in the bathroom requires a lot of relaxation, and the best way for me to relax is to read. Plus it gives me something to do with my hands and brain while my "lesser" functions do their dirty deeds.

Is he the same one that asks you if you can print out some of his money for him and you can keep 15%?

...go down to Worst-Buy... Has anyone ever laughed at that joke?But seriously, how come people don't realize that Best Buy is the very bottom wrung on the tech store ladder? They're even worse than CompUSA!

Too bad it doesn't work on Britney Spears...

So you're saying that this would all be pointless speculation if they let their users choose whether to participate or not?

I just feel bad for the Google employees who have to go through all that code with a red pen. Are they going to be graded on style too?
Judging from your user name, I'm prone to trust you. You sound like a parental figure to me.

Good analogy. It won't be ridiculously popular, but it'll be around forever because of the niche crowd.

I just want to say that your charity is easily the one I respect the most. Hats off to you sir.
