    That's not how it works. Just because the gene is dominant, doesn't mean that it will spread.

    A bunch of rhetorical bullshit does not trump a simply written statement in the constitution. Just because self important lawyers run the country, doesn't mean you can't have your own principles.

    Knee surgeries work, atheletes and the team owners have way too much money invested and knee injuries lead to knee surgeries often with remarkable success.

    DXM has kept me from coughing. It's not expensive, I'll continue to buy it, whenever I get bronchitis. It beets seperating a rib.

    F1 cars are not precise. You can't shift gently in an f1 car.

    You have more control with a pedal. Without you are at best trusting a computer to figure out what you want.

  13. Re:Heh, figures. on Increase In Xbox 360 E74 Problems · · Score: 1

    There is a high failure rate and then there is the stuff that doesn't show up in the statistics. I've owned two 360's. The first one got stolen. The first one also would randomly freeze up from overheating. Even though it was placed away from other electronics on it's own table. My new one doesn't overheat but the drive in there is shoddy and gets read errors from random reads. This is now sort of fixed since you can now install games to the hard drive. The point is that neither of these consoles would have been recorded on the failure rate. The three year warranty only covers red ring of death issues after the first year.

    I also have a ps3. It was a waste of money, I prefer to play games on my 360, I prefer to watch movies on my htpc. The only game I've liked on the ps3 is metal gear. Little big planet was made for little japanese girls.

    I still find that no free apps sync to an ipod as well as iTunes. Perhaps I couldn't just figure it out in amarok, but that's just as much of a fault of the program, but I couldn't get certain playlists to sync, while updating my played skip count, whenever my ipod is plugged in.

    >The study should have been backward: do car designers make cars look to have human facial expressions?

    >The value of the study would have been the same though: null, void, zilch. God what a waste of time.

    I'm not sure about this study, but I know someone who does something very similar, on a more complex level. The reason this study has value is because car manufacturers want to know this information. They fund these studies and studying the reverse is completely uninteresting to them. Getting a cars "facial expression" correct can be worth millions.
