"the parties being tested" are not "the parties doing the testing".
Double-blind is rarely free, alas, but certainly if you have the opportunity you should grab it. I review a lot of wannabe-scientific papers (often ones making medical-sounding claims, such as in the cosmetics undustry), and the experimenters' bias is often noticeable. It's quite painful to see, and invalidates so many of the studies, IMHO. There's a lot of bad science out there.
>> Never expect the parties being tested to not interfere with the experiment. > The main reason you do "double blind" is exactly because of this.
Nope, that's the reason you do single blind. The reason you do double blind is because you should never expect the parties *doing the testing* to not interfere with the experiment.
I now have to break it to you that part of the point you are trying to argue against was actually lifted almost word for word from the official English translation of the Azerbaijan constitution. I changed a few words into synonyms so that it wasn't so much messy legalese, but meaning-wise it's identical. So stop pretending you actually have some insight - you don't even know what's under your own nose. Then again, given your unwillingness to put any effort into any research, I'm unsurprised you are aware of this. You are intellectually lazy, this is the third time you've proven so.
And what's America got to do with anything - are you in rampant "pull nonsense out of your backside" mode this week? All the evidence points that way.
You living there tells me nothing apart from the fact that you spout unresearched assertions despite having a better opportunity than others in being able to know how things actually are.
Them *signing* the Berne convention et al. *changed their law* - international agreements are an integral part of legal system of Azerbaijan. Whether Azerbaijani authorities are too ignorant, lazy, or corrupt to actually enforce the laws that they have agreed to uphold is of course another matter. (Transparency.org implies 1 of those 3 is likely.)
And no, Iran has not signed any of the international treaties pertaining to intellectual property law, as you would have been able to tell if only you had been willing to do about 5 seconds of reasearch. But don't worry, that behaviour fits in perfectly with your earlier spouting of assertions after doing no research.
Yeah, right, vaccines have never been good for business. http://www.in-pharmatechnologist.com/Regulatory-Safety/Novavax-shares-soar-80-as-swine-flu-spreads
Since when did Azerbaijan unsign themselves from the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works and the World Intellectual Property Organization Copyright Treaty? Everything I can find indicates they've been signatories since 1999 and 2006 respectively.
I'd like to congratulate Ronald Noble on the "high professionalism" that went into that article (c.f. his wikipedia page).
He's a sock-puppet with a script. Apparently he has been for at least 9 years.
Having said that, I know there was a shop in Cambridge selling dodgy stuff that was almost certainly a front for the IRA for a while. After paying its town-centre rents, it must have been creaming up to literally tens of thousands of pounds per year. Scale that up to the size of the UK, and that's literally up to millions, and to a market the size of the US, and that's literally up to several million pounds. And as one UK pound is about $500, that explains where Noble's $200 billion comes from.
Just give every developer their own *repo*, which only they have commit rights to. It can be centrally stored on a honking great central server with a reference repo if you have loads of developers, and you're worried about space. (Of course, they can do their day-to-day work on their own repos on their own desktops/laptops if they'd rather work with a local copy, distributed vcs's are designed to be flexible that way.)
Each coherent change (one feature, one bugfix, one update) should be on a branch in their tree, for which they send a pull request (git request-pull) (after of course they've sent the patchset for review, and got some s-o-b's, ack's, or r-b's, and preferably some tested-by's too). Pull it onto a branch on your tree. If it doesn't apply, then ask them to rebase. If it passes sanity tests, then merge (which should be a fast-forward).
I maintained the linux kernel at work this way quite happily for quite a while. Had pull requests from many dozens of develpers, and the process was mostly trivial (as it was mostly scripted). The hardest part was tracking the upstream kernel, as of course failures to merge couldn't be met with "please rebase" - I had to do all the fixups myself. Fortunately, we were based on an old stable, so were relatively slow-moving.
"such a country" is meaningless - no country-wide consensus has been reached. The ban was ruled unconstitutional in an appelate court which probably covers only half a dozen states or fewer. (I care not exactly how many.) The SCOTUS have neither said that the appeal's result was sound or unsound, they've effectively ignored it completely.
Bollocks. At least in the "not blind at all" part.
The people participating could have been warned by the local witch that by deploying the new parachutes not only would they die, but their wives, children, and children's children for seven generations would also die horrible deaths. As they were superstitious folk (why else would they be consulting witches?) everyone given the new parachute died in a simple splat rather than cursing their kin.
Never expect the parties being tested to not interfere with the experiment.
Your use of "unconscious" was perfectly acceptable. Or at least it was when the story first appeared: http://science.slashdot.org/story/12/11/13/0330209/evidence-for-unconscious-math-language-processing-abilities
A few years back, my g/f and I rewatched *all* the old classic doctor series, and we'd always do a bit of a post-mortem on each episode and each story. Apart from horrors like "megabyte modems", we both agreed that Colin Baker wasn't as bad a doctor as we had partially remembered. I much prefer Colin Baker being disappointed about the failings of humans to Tennant repeatedly telling us how brilliant humans are. That wasn't new - Pertwee was very critical of the humans' military approach to the Silurians.
Strangely even McCoy, which I seemed to remember being awful, had many merits. OK,/Delta and the Bannermen/ can be erased from the master tapes with no loss, but there were some good ones too. I was "getting too old" for Doctor Who at that time, so probable just turned off after that story. Again McCoy ('s Doctor) was never shy to criticise human failings (e.g. in/Rememberance of the Daleks/)
I'd forgotten about the fucking stupid imprisoning in mirrors. Selective amnesia. I liked several things from those episodes (part 1 much more than part 2), but the final conclusion was total pants.
Agree,/Blink/ and/The Empty Child/ were classics that stand out as being some of the best ever.
Several others had real power in too - I liked a lot of/Dalek/. My enduring memory from that is when you can see the spittle fly from Ecclestone's mouth as the Doctor rants and raves in way that means nothing to Rose, as she's not seen what he's seen. I think that single scene has put Ecclestone right up as my #2 favourite doctor.
The most annoying problem with many of the new ones is that they'll come up with a very canny plot, and a rivetting story, and then just spoil it right at the end with a stupid (Deus Ex Machina, often) ending. (E.g./Dalek/ - your foe decides to kill itself, what a piece of luck!) The ones that are just plain trash you can throw away without guilt - but what are you supposed to do with the ones that are _nearly_ good?
My first Doctor Who memory - one which I cannot shake, it was so powerful - was from/The Seeds of Doom/. Yes, I did hide behind the sofa, and peek out. Looking at when that was made, that means that Doctor Who has been embedded in my psyche for about 95% of my life!

By coincidence, 132 was the number of usenet newsgroups that the UK government and police demanded all UK ISPs block access too back in ~1996.
And as you can see - there's no offensive material on usenet any more, so such efforts are clearly highly successful.
