Oh, come on - can you blame them? I mean, who can pretend to think straight when faced with (Fox News anchor) Patti Ann Browne and her sweet... sweet can.
How come the "official handbook" is $15? Shouldn't a legitimate "non-partisan national dialog about overwork, over-scheduling, and time poverty, and what we can do to solve these problems" provide such dialog for free (pdf)? Smells like an ad.
This link (right side of why-war page) is pretty intense. Pick away at the guy's amateur lawyering if you want, but it shows more sack than signing an e-petition, anyway.
Mod me down (or up) for typical Slashdot carping, but the packaging looks pretty weak. I was expecting some sort of detailed plasitc model, not just a painted box. For 750 bucks I think I'd rather have a hooker.
o.k. o.k., fine - a hooker dressed up as Seven of Nine. Sheesh!
Obtaining non-DRM will be difficult for the average consumer.
Which is why it's important to reach the average consumer before this happens. I say fight FUD with FUD: your mom may or may not be up for a four-hour debate on the relative merits of DRM vs. the Constitution - but one casual comment about how DRM-enabled computers have "compatibility problems", or how a new Dell will break if she tries to download the latest Garth Brooks single... and I guarantee DRM-free will be on her checklist, right below "at least 2,200 MultiHertzes".
Will you feel dirty for stooping to their level? Not a bit. And I'll bet you've told worse lies to your mom plenty of times.
DeRisi found that the secret to malaria's success is its simplicity - regulated by only 10 genes compared with, say, 141 in yeast and more than a thousand in human cells. So, malaria is not the brightest bug in the biosphere, but it does its job with a single-mindedness, turning on each gene just before it's needed - like an assassin pumping his rifle.
I bet it would take a long time to snipe someone to death with an air rifle.
Bournival refused repeated requests for interviews about his business. When approached for comment at a chess tournament in Merrimack, New Hampshire, last month, Bournival, who is a national-master-caliber player, ran away from a Wired News reporter.
An investigation (registration to Salon.com required) last month revealed that Bournival's mentor and business partner is Davis Wolfgang Hawke, a chess expert and former neo-Nazi leader who turned to the spam business in 1999 after it became public that his father was Jewish.
Students will wear caps with sensors called "iBadges" pinned to them, Srivastava said.
5 years and 4.3 million dollars later, researchers report their findings: that you can't convince a first grader to wear a beeping, faintly warm hat for more than six minutes at a stretch.
Researchers at the lab were at first astonished when Schon showed them a standard power cord, one end of which he claimed was attached to a computer no bigger than a single Beta-Carotene molecule.
One scientist at the facility noted, "He booted it up right in front of us. I'm pretty sure I heard the Windows 2000 startup tune, and everything." They were later horrified to discover that Schon was simply lying.
'And how long b4 a critical mass of art lovers get 2gether 2 provide these artists with a real, valuable, legitimate, truthfully enthusiastic alternative audience that completes the process of rendering the xisting system artistically irrelevant?'

Then again, I'm still waiting for wraparound shades and skinny ties to come back in.
