I'm not sure if I agree. Basketball has lots of stats as well. So does football, and tennis has gotten pretty cool with the overlay plots of serves and points won.
Yes, they all have lots of stats, but baseball has by far the most. There's really no comparison.
Basketball has field goal percentage, but they don't break it down into: FG % vs 6ft 5in point guards on maple floors at night, on the road.
Football has more stats than basketball, such as yards per run on grass vs turf, yards per pass indoors vs outdoors, pass percentage, but they don't break it down into: Yards per run on grass at home, at night, vs 4-3 defense, vs AFC teams.
Stats are part of baseball history. There is no other sport that statistics plays such a big part in. Managers routinely base many of their decisions in games based solely on stats.
Baseball is filled with random reinforcers which contributes to the superstitious behaviour. You have ppl, doing all of these nervous ticks, spitting, scratching, hand signals, random fights, wiggling around at the plate and mound, and apparently the numbers at the bottom of the screen have affected you and others as well.
I'm unsure what your point is here. This paragraph really doesn't make any sense. I think superstitions in baseball are interesting, but many times really annoying. And I really don't see how the superstitions correlate with statistics.

· Score: 5, Insightful
Baseball is the "geekiest" of the 4 major (US) sports. The statistics tracked in baseball dwarf any other sport. Stat analysis is a integral part of baseball.
What other sport do you have stats like: Batting average with runners in scoring position, two outs, late innings, versus a right handed pitcher.
If your company does a trade show in a unionized hall you are not allowed to carry anything in and out, you have to wait 2 hours for a union guy to come off his break and carry it for you
We did a trade show were we needed to run a single cable between two booths. The two booths were along the same wall and were separated by about 8 feet. Well, some union nutfuck caught wind of this and since it was a union hall we had to do it there way. Turns out there way was a 500ft cable run and a $500 charge.
I've never heard of any unreasonable strikes... Have you been indoctrinated from birth or do you have any real reasons to dislike unions?
You have never heard of any unreasonable strikes? Are you insane? And you're the one accusing people of being "indoctrinated from birth". Come on now. Unions have been known to put companies out of business (thereby having all their members lose jobs).
Come on now... European Union lover questioning American Union hater about being "indoctrinated". Pot, kettle, black.

First: great link! I get to see some awesome 30 second PBS commercial.
Second: stupid f'en idea In a word, privacy. By making my Internet connection available to any and all who happen upon it, I have no way to be certain what kinds of songs, movies and pictures will be downloaded by other people using my IP address. And more important, my ISP has no way to be certain if it's me.
But since you're liable for everything that goes through your connection, you're fucked if something really bad does happen from your IP. That whole article sounds like it was written by some 14 year old. God... the logic employed in that article is truly amazing!

Slashdot: were ugly ass sculpture now qualifies as tech news
So, how much will it cost for the robot to fold me 1000 paper cranes? Those videos are impressive. Unfortunately I'm sure that they'll be inaccessible shortly. The robot actually moves fairly quickly. Making both objects in less than a minute.

one hand it's like a free list that unscrupulous telemarketers can get and spam
I believe there is a charge for the list, and they have to get the list quarterly.
Strangely enough, the Direct Marketing Association feels that it is necessary to charge people $5 to help get them off the list if they do it online! What a scam. They don't link to the official site at all.

Awesome! "Union Yes" I say!
And people wonder why many detest unions so much.

guarantee their healthcare premiums won't rise
I love Unions!
Ok... then they won't rise. But you'll also never get a raise ever again. Sound good?
It's not the company they're working for that is responsible for the rising health costs.
Note to self: wait for it to come out on DVD.
:p
Note from Lucas: "Sounds good! We make more money on the DVDs anyways."

And even more suprisingly how the markets tanked afterwords and she withdrew.

Hey Jackass,

I am getting so sick of hearing the corporate bottom line getting espoused in conversations about the "food machine"
If anything I pointed out how our current agricultural methods are highly inefficient.
I did notice that and I kind of wondered why the robot wasn't able to make that move since it is shown making a similar move in the hat video.
Watch the hat video. There are no interuptions or magic moving.
as do most printers
But a really neat printer would fold and mutilate on command while following directions!
Making both objects in less than a minute.
A minute a piece, not combined.
Hat: ~55 seconds
Airplane: ~35 seconds
So, how much will it cost for the robot to fold me 1000 paper cranes?
