I agree it is an old medium, but the academy moves slow in these things - Journal pubs will likely remain the stuff of CVs and tenure reviews for many years.
Irony can also mean:
Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs.
An occurrence, result, or circumstance notable for such incongruity.
We might expect someone that recognizes a debilitating condition to take steps to curtail that condition.
Sort of like someone inviting you out for a beer to tell you that they're an alcoholic.
The irony is they haven't realized the extent of their dependence at all.
Luckily that sky man living outside his creation is effectively irrelevant to those of us living in it, so we can just ignore him and go about our day.
6-11 points, depending on the iq scale is more than a standard deviation. The fact the author of the article isn't aware of how large that potentially is is irrelevant.
There are lots of problems with iq tests, but an 11 point spread is significant.
You can get over 50 mpg out of a 500cc 430lb road bike, even an old-tech carburated one. Some small 250cc road bikes are in the 70-85mpg range, but they also tend to top out at about 75 mph.
There is no known 'grow-old' gene in humans (unlike some other mammals), it's caused by radiation breaking up certain DNA/RNA type moluecules that cause the cells to fail to reproduce adequatly (i.e. produce colligen, etc).
They don't have barbed wire and guards per se, but I'm willing to wager that their denizens are brainwashed enough that none of the fencing and such is necessary.
In a free society, provided the brainwashed are all adults (and no physical restraint is used in the brainwashing), this is perfectly legal.
Now, if the organization then empties the bank accounts of the brainwashed, or, say, ties them to beds and forgets to water them then there may be a problem.
As you said, some of the most successful people from your high school were also the most attractive.
Which is a very different ball of wax than whether or not there is a jock/nerd continuum.
You also seem to be arguing that there isn't a thread of anti-intellectualism in the United States. I don't think that position is very accurate.
over the meanings of sexism and sexist.
Given that FOSS is not a for-profit venture, there can be as much discrimination as the project leaders want. Don't like it? Write your own project.
I hear my local bar has lots of sexist remarks spoken, too.
A research note like this is far more interesting for what it tells us about the tastes of video game consumers than what it tells us about video game developers.
The "original" Dr. Who (well, ok, 3rd: Tom Baker) "rarely" dealt with Daleks, that doesn't stop them from being super badass and worthy of having in any movie-length adaptation.

But I think the problem might lie in conflating *understanding* the point of view of other people with *caring* what their point of view is.
I understand other people's feelings fine. I just don't care about them other than how they directly affect me.
I keep my phone quiet by being a raging asshole to everyone I meet.
Keeps the number of texts down.

It also leads to the conclusion we need to build SDF-1, thereby getting humans into space.
We need Zor's battleship to crash land on an island in the Pacific first.

The information isn't really for you, it is for other homosexuals.

Don't ever tell me what I can't do!

The plural of anecdote is not data. (Your dates should have been able to tell you that)

It may not be realistic, but it is often fun.
You know, the -other- reason to play games.
If it only holds 250 pages or less, that is a sign it isn't meant to be used much.
Yes, it will cost you more, but it will last.
As long as they don't happen to drop the cube holding the AI into a puddle of shapechanging goo.
Also, the face doesn't look much like Russel Crowe, so we're probably safe.

And I think anyone claiming to be "blind sided" is either full of it or a whiner, possibly both.
Also: the way to fix it isn't talking to a media outlet, it is talking to someone in Raleigh. (no, not a media outlet in Raleigh).
It seems to me to be aimed at the sorts of people who like accessorizing and color matching crap. Buying a lifestyle, as it were.
Too bad apple already has the "be that thing" market cornered.
Hulu only keeps a handful of episodes around. No good if you want to watch the entire season.
A critical error on their part, imho.

MS is/was the near monopoly. Which means, fair or not, competitors can say and do things that people could cry foul on MS for.
