The same argument could have been made against the civil rights movement in the 60s. The author would have argued that as the NCAAP was using the telephone to organize rather than meeting always face to face drinking pints at the local as the Sons of Liberty did, that Dr. King was doomed to fail because his network relied on telephone calls and so was too loose.
"In research that could boost the sales of socks in New England, a study out of the University of Otago in New Zealand found that wearing socks over shoes results in far fewer slips and falls on icy footpaths. It won the physics prize."
This is common knowledge here amongst yachties and other people who walk on green covered slipways (they're not called that for nothing). Put on some rugby socks and you won't fall over. It's counter-intuitive but it works.
Counter-intuitive? It seemed very intuitive to me. But I can't find socks to fit my big feet. Good luck finding ones to go over my shoes.

Yes, bubbles driven by media exposure pumps up market caps way beyond reality.
Company 1: more revenue, more profit in absolute dollars, higher profit margin, complete dominance in its markets which are core to the functioning of modern society, pays a decent dividend. Diversified beyond the "cult of personality" of being all about a specific individual/founder.
Company 2: less revenue, less profit in absolute dollars, lower profit margin, losing market share in its markets (which are not core to society), pays no dividend. Still a cult of personality that relies upon the ideas/guidance of a single man with health issues.
Yeah, company 2 only has a higher market cap if it's in a bubble. And bubble is what Apple's stock price certainly is.
One company has a couple of products which provide the majority of its profits. And these products are at risk as applications transition to the cloud. Most other lines break even or lose money.
The other company sells high profit margin products as fast as they can produce them and is constantly finding ways to make moribund and imaginary product areas fabulously profitable.
Meanwhile, in Reality Land... Microsoft continues to hold a dominate position in a mature market, targeting business customers Apple doesn't seem to care about. They have a market cap over $211bn and have started paying out dividends.

First link for "atheism" points to Conservapedia, which says:
Unlike Christianity, which is supported by a large body of sound evidence (see: Christian apologetics), atheism has no proof and evidence supporting its ideology.
If you were a comedian, you couldn't come up with something better than that. Are these people really that stupid?
Oh yeah? There is evidence for Christ in every bedside table in every hotel and motel room. Where's your precious atheist evidence now?
You know I'm fed up of this every atheist has blind faith thing...
I, on the hand, have blind faith that theists will continue to offer no evidence for their beliefs. As Mark Twain said, "Faith is believing what you know ain't so."
I represent the estate of Mr. Ludwig van Beethoven.

Don't get your hopes up. Bruce Wayne is a billionare industrialist with an interest in protecting his IP. He is on the side of the *AA. Remember - his crusade is against violent crime.
I'm a dreamer I envision a day when the truth is the only acceptable and legal form of advertising. Any time a company falls short of that they pay triple the profits they generated as damages and that goes into a public fund so that victims can make claims against it. In this current day and age I'd expect that fund to be worth a trillion dollars within a couple of years.
"It is entirely possible that the lawyers were unaware of the SPEECH Act, but it does seem like a law firm making legal threats in a foreign country should be expected to have researched the legal barriers to making such a claim before using billable hours to make threats they cannot back up."
The law firm doesn't care if their threats are stupid:
Client: I want to sue! Attorney: Well, you don't have grounds and probably can't win. Client: I don't care! I want to sue! Attorney: Okay. (Now with a clear conscience, turns on the clock.)
Whatever has happened to personal responsibility? Why is this such a problem? If a nurse is doing their job, then they will follow the tubing back to the source to ensure that they are connecting the right ones. Why is this so hard? If you're a nurse at a station and you want to ensure that you have the correct tubes. Take a moment and label them yourselves if you are that busy.
Another poster stated that maybe color coding tubes would help, and I think this is a good idea, if the dyes don't cause problems in the tubing. My greater concern is that we have busy nurses asked to perform a lot of tasks and they usually get nothing but grief from patients, so they just want to get in get out and move on to the next person. Personally I've watched nurses double check tubelines and it takes all of 2 seconds. They are also tend to be the nurses who've been a nurse for more than a couple years.
A safety system which is ultimately dependent on a human to check it isn't reliable. Even the best nurse is going to be tired or distracted occasionally.
In contrast, compressed gases need different and nonswappable regulators so that you can't hook an oxygen tank into an acetylene line. This system is virtually idiot proof.
Why don't they just stick to beginnings then? They could just have 10 different introductory episodes, each with a different cast and location, and not actually have any story at all.
And have America vote on which series gets continued? America's Next Top Series? You, my friend, are a genius.

Apple has never understood any of that, Steve certainly hasn't.
Too right. That SOB keeps borrowing lunch money from me and not paying it back.

(Sorry. I just always wanted to do that.)
Just ask "What would Batman do?".
Don't get your hopes up. Bruce Wayne is a billionare industrialist with an interest in protecting his IP. He is on the side of the *AA. Remember - his crusade is against violent crime.
Is this legal? No.
Is it immoral? No
We all (within a given jurisdiction) have the same laws, but we each have different morals.
How could you even think of browsing the internet without Internet Explorer 8 on Microsoft Windows 7?
2/10: for using it's and your correctly.
"If we discover a complete theory, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason – for then we should know the mind of God."
And what if Hawking figured out the complete theory just after he lost the capacity for communication with the rest of the world. Would God notice?

And who gets to define the truth?
Sex is EVERWHERE...it's just nudity that stays hidden. That's stupid.
Reminds me of Doctorow's Ragtime, where Father is on an expedition to the North Pole and sees the Eskimos having sex through slits in their fur suits.
