EEG is a reflection of aggregate neural activity and can be recorded quite easily at the skull...the system seems to work best with children and others open to believing in their capability
I guess you could say it works better with an "open mind."
Jokes aside, this seems like learning to control a body part. Children are constantly refining their internal models of motion as they grow and gain dexterity, so it makes sense that they would learn more quickly than an adult. People who suffer from nerve damage usually recover more quickly and more completely if they have self confidence. It's not mind-over-matter exactly, but those who believe they will fail likely will.
They only gave out of their abundance. Nothing more, nothing less.
Not true. It doesn't matter that he had an abundance, rather that he felt compelled to use it for the benefit of others. He may have benefitted the reputation of himself, or his company, but the gains for himself were not nearly as much as the gains of the recipients. It was inequitable, therefore it was charitable. There are plenty of rich people who sit on their money instead of putting it to good use.
All your shit talking does is discourage others from following his lead, because they're just going to say "Hey, I'm just going to get flack for it anyway -- fsck 'em."
And yet, not a single lawsuit over someone burning their hands on a can of hot coffee, or the appearance of said coffee in a videogame intended for coffee drinkers. Amazing!
Number Two: [clears throat] Sir, strictly speaking, 12 million dollars will not go very far these days. Virtucon alone makes over 9 billion dollars a year. Dr. Evil: Really? Okay then... we hold the world ransom for 1... hundred... BILLION dollars!
There is an unhealthy stigma that goes along with people not going to college, and I disagree with it.
The problem is that there is no such thing as equality. All jobs are not equal. either in importance or in required skills, and burger flippers and restroom cleaners are well aware of it. There will always be a prestige associated with higher education. And while it may well be a waste of resources for somoene to pursue something they may never achieve, I think most people agree that it's better to try and fail than never to try at all. Why? Because the greater waste is to accept mediocrity as a given and never attempt something better. It is an unfortunate fact, but a fact nonetheless, that not everyone will achieve their goals and/or dreams. That's the way of the world. Unless we can pre-determine the full potential of individuals through other measures, competition is the most efficient means of determining their status. Competition is both a filter and an impetus, without which society would stagnate (or progress more slowly). So yes, everyone should be encouraged to go to college, which means that there will necessarily be a stigma against not going or failing.
The problem is that the site is hardly a parody. It's rather clear from actually reading the words that the intent is not humorous effect, but rather straightforward presentation of an anti-coal campaign. If they want a parody, make a parody. If they want a straightfoward campaign, then lose the pro-coal site layout and get on with it. This is the anti-coal equivelant of an anti-gay campaign dubbing Brokeback Mountain with lines like "The rate of HIV/AIDS infection among homosexual men is almost double that of heterosexuals." That's not parody, it's just being asinine.

My grandmother was a web developer you insensitive clod!

You mean lawyering?
They don't want the plebes to know how to play poker, maaan! Why do you think they banned online gambling?!?

Smithers: Yes Sir!

Smithers: Boy, would I!
Just ignore the playa haters.
*I* heard they get free chocolate covered gold ponies with every cable modem sold, and actual angels sing their MP3s (with holy enhancement).

I believe you meant, "one loon from the Navy."
If you gave me $1.3 billion for my kid, I might consider it.
Because God forbid there are both connectors.
Yeah, because Second Life is the pinnacle of character design. Not.
Congratulations on getting the point. Now maybe you could explain it to the mods.
These is *not* Miis, these are better than Second Life quality digital characters.
Jar-Jar confirms, PlayStation Home avatars look at least as good as the characters in Wolfenstein 3D.

But hey, it's just the potential end of the world, so nothing much to worry about there.
Not from a political standpoint, since if it happens there won't be anyone around to bitch about it.
Well now I'm thinking of heating up a frozen BBQ sandwich. Thanks.

Guess they've just outlawed any surveillance camera that films violence, including their own. Oops!
If any Australian students would like to make a cool 100% profit, please let me know. :)
On the other hand, if you're a well-paid administrator, you may want to add the following line to your HOSTS file:

Maybe, but the agoraphobics are going to be pissed.
switching on the lights would only illuminate the items in the room and not the walls
... or you could just close your eyes and get the same effect.
Sure, for extremely liberal definitions of close, eyes, and/or effect.
