Homeopathy has been proven countless, countless times to do absolutely jack-fucking-shit. About five seconds of wiki-ing found this. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1874503/?tool=pmcentrez
There is nothing ignorant or arrogant about disregarding some ancient bullshit when every single piece of legitimate scientific evidence shows that it's just ancient bullshit.
The one thing I like about manuals is the satisfying heft they add to the package. Now with the extra-light cases and no manuals it'll feel a little more like I'm being ripped off spending $60 on a plastic disc.
This is an excellent essay. It made me realize why I hated "math" in school.
"Here's a new type of problem, here's the algorithm to do it, now do it fifty times" is not teaching.
I hate major labels as much as the next guy, but to be fair supporting the corporation that the artists rely on for profit kinda is helping the artists.
Agreed. The whole idea of "you infringe on the copyright of the copyright owners who are lobbying the fuck out of us and we can just take away your internet" is just freaky.
I'm seeing the logic here as this: You didn't pay for our software, so we're not going to let you pay for our software.
How exactly does that make sense?
Most musicians who use samples in their releases get permission from the copyright owner of the sample. I don't even slightly doubt that someone on a major label like Kid Rock had every sample he used cleared by the copyright holder. If you get sued for sampling, it's because you didn't get it cleared.
Part of me would prefer a government controlled by rich, intelligent businessmen over one controlled by hordes of clueless goobers, but the other part of me says that's wrong. I'm not sure which to believe.
The difference is that the soccer players are getting better by improving their own skills, not getting arbitrary bonuses for every certain number of games they win. The player does get better in a multiplayer game without progression, just naturally. RPG elements unnaturally exaggerrate the difference in the ability to win between new players and veterans.
Games like Modern Warfare 2 have RPG-like progression, leveling, skill upgrades and skill builds and all that in multiplayer.
Which is really a shame. Competitive FPS games are no fun when it's not an equal playing ground and players can be at an advantage because of how much they play and not their skill.
Dual screens with a touch screen seemed like a gimmicky idea at first, but a couple years in it proved itself to actually be a useful, versatile concept that lent itself well to a lot of games.
The Wii hasn't done that yet. The best Wii games in my experience tend to either a) Not use motion controls at all b) Use motion controls in a way that's really no different from buttons c) use the Wiimote as a 2D pointing device. I'm not saying motion controls are a fad that will die out, but they sorta blow.

Hell, PS3 is more open than 360. At least you can use your own damn hard drive in it. And you used to be able to run Linux on it.

That site sure as hell was designed by a 66 year old.
Sweet. This is the only positive YRO story I've ever seen in my life.

You admitted that you were too flabbergasted to put together a coherent sentence. It's not my reading comprehension.
Agreed. Why don't we just eliminate medical science all together? We're all gonna die anyway, who cares if it's at 20 or 85? We're all fucked, right?
You don't think being an executive at a huge corporation is work? Fun fact: If they did nothing, no one would want to get signed.

These aren't "similar plans." There's a huge difference between perks for new buyers and punishment for used buyers.

I'd hardly call Girl Talk a band. More like a spacebar jockey.

"CS student continues to take class notes with pen and paper while her fellow students" "CS student ... her ..."
I call bullshit.

This is probably the first post I've seen on the internet actually respectful of the police in a long, looooooong time.
I'm getting Half Life 2 flashbacks here...
Anti-intellectual much?

"Studies show on that size display anything above 720p is pointless." Which studies?
Is that like a lesbian cockblock?
