I was thinking that too at first, but after the first minute or so it actually gets pretty decent. It still sounds like a japanese fairground organ, but one in fully working order. . .
If you can be 37 days late and only owe a 1.25, that's pretty good (and that's the way it currently works). If you keep it more than 4 days over your due date, they'll call you and tell you they'd like their movie back and they'll explain all about the fees at that point. Frankly, I think there's a lot of overreacting going on here . . .
This could be the most succussful advertising campaign ever. Advertisers take note, the key to make sure EVERYONE sees your advertisement is to forbid them to see it.
Jeb Bush had 50,000 thousand African American names purged off the voting rolls in Florida (under a pretense) in the 2000 election. We know how THAT election was stolen.
This article really isn't meant to harken back to 2000. No one out there, that I know of, is really accusing that this sort of fraud took place 4 years ago.
The reason it's news is because we worry that it may take place in the future -- and let's face it, the Republican party's track record when it comes to lying, cheating and stealing to win is pretty clear.
If he does, the only reason will be that attidude. Too many bush-haters will avoid the polls simply because they'll assume he's going to win.
The polls are neck and neck, and undecideds usually break against the incumbant. I dont' think you could find a casino in vegas that would give you better than even odds on either candidate winning. There's just no reason to think one's got it won.
What's less astonishing to me is not their brain size, but it's that they died out 12,000 years ago OR LESS.
Homo Erectus was SUPPOSED to have been gone AT LEAST 100,000 years ago.
Whether or not they're significantly different enough to be considered a whole new species or just a pygmy tribe of erectus really takes second fiddle to me . ..
Yes, I too was a bit irritated that they acted like this was some sort of secret revealation. We all already know that brain-size is proportionate, first and foremost, to body size. A blue whale has a brain far, far larger than mine -- but no one suggests that it's smarter than me (at least not to my face).
You joke, but you're actually correct. What you describe is a biological phenomenon observed on many island ecosystems called Foster's rule.
In short, it dictates that animals coming from a continent that are large, will get smaller when isolated on an island -- animals that are small, will tend to get larger.

I was thinking the same thing . . .
As long as I get one of those sexy new enchants from Zul Gurub . . .
Obviously, becuase gamespot is the only entity that matters when it comes to juding the quality of a game. . .
Or, I could look at your data and say that "the worst madden in 4 years".
You just dump the contents to your hard drive and copy it to a new USB flashdrive . . . No more trips to the hardware store.
The quality of a product dropped after it became a monopoly? Surely this must be some sort of oversight . . .
Among many other interesting antics, he trademarked the phrase "Freedom of Expression" . . .
For a moment I thought I might not have to pay back my loan -- then I realized it was just their back-up copy that they lost.
Why do you torture me so slashdot?
Thank you for taking the time to transcribe the back of your "Rainforest Crunch" candy bar wrapper for us. . . .
Two different things. I'm leaning towards the first one, but to each his own.

To have cancer cure HIV and we're good to go.
Some sort of reverse psychology:
I think they WANT people to take pictures of it.

If apple wanted you to be able to do this, they wouldn't have made it so darn difficult to do.
It has none of the side effects. If anything, it has health benefits. So who cares how addictive it is?
I don't have any children or minivans.
Since when does anyone actually have to STEAL anything to get the SCO to sue them?

Yale students show that altering only a single vote per machine would have changed the electoral college outcome of the 2000 election
You mean Bush would have won?!

Body mass only becomes an issue if you're talkikng about being fatter -- being more insulated. Being taller can only help you to disperse heat . . .
Certainly nutrition makes a different in height -- The changes you speak of in Japan can be noticed right here in the United States.

However, a difference of between 4-5 feet on average and 7 feet on average is quite a big one if the only difference is nutrition . .
