They function based on the input they have. The more input they have the better they work. Just because the current models don't work with a piece of information totally new and unexpected doesn't mean that they are broken. It means that they need to be updated.
Besides which when it comes to global warming, humans are either helping it along, or not. If we cut pollution and other environmental damages, then we could help slow or stop global warming if its the former. If its the latter, then we still get the benefits of a cleaner environment. So why not take the steps?
I dispute none of it. However, that doesn't change the reality that for most people, the first thing they think of is this. Synchonized swimming gets far more publicity from being mocked than being taken seriously. Indeed, the cynical view is that it only exists to make all the other ludicrous Olympic events look good by comparison. It may not be fair, but that's the way it is perceived.
anyone know a good way of disposing pointy-haired corpses?
Just prop him up in his chair and close the door. Productivity will improve so dramatically that senior management will avoid opening his door at all costs;-)
Since many a blogger rails hardest against corporations and their associated ilk, it makes sense for them tot ry and limit it. What is in the interest of business is a society whose information comes from marketers.
Petard, this Hoist, Hoist, Petard. I'm sure you two wil get to know each other quite well as you will be working very closely together for the next little bit. And remember Hoist, I'm counting on you to give quite a bit of support to Petard.
An excellent point. Sony is doing enough things wrong that need amplification without adding frivilous consipiracy theories to the lot. In the end it only weakens the rest of the issues with Sony and hides their real incompetence.
(and a good example of the "fool for a client" principle)
That was my very first thought. IANAL, but I have done litigation work for the last 6 years (mostly as a paralegal) and the pro se types on the other side can be such a royal PITA. This would likely be even worse.
It all seemed so simple. The CIA needed to know the extent of outsourcing to India so they began psying on them. They got to much information which they outsourced to a 3rd party contractor to deal with. The contractor wasn't quite up to the task so they in turn shipped it off to India. Which meant that all the data coming inw as then collected and sent out only to come back in. And thus was a crippling blow dealt to both the outsourcing movement and the CIA in the same day!
My second thought was how successful this would be for commuters. You have a built in market of people who are essentially stuck for an hour or three each day with limited amusements. Trun something they already have into a MMORPG and you have a chance for some real success there.
My first thought was, "Now why didn't I think of that!?"
I agree. I keep waiting for the big deal-breaking thing that will break my heart but confirm my cynacism. So far though, Nintendo really seems closer in tune with the average gamer as opposed to the high end hard-core gamers. Since a lot of us have families now, that's even more comforting.

LOL! That's the best laugh I've had on the dot for a awhile. Thanks!
Hey! How do you know what website I'm reading right now?
Oh. Right.
Think for a second about your past conversations. When synchronized swimming has been the topic, was it mockery or merit which was discussed?

Then this ain't frivilous.

Channel your inner Wally. He'll help you decide the best course of (in)action to take;-)

If eBay dies and they decide to auction off the assets, how would they do it without themselves? Juast another paradox...
Oh, why didn't you take me instead, oh why!?!?!?
So now they'll justify full body scans at the airport as merely part of a Cancer Reviewing Awareness Program.

Gretzky with the puck... he shoots... Jesus Saves! God Wins! God Wins! And the Triumverates take the Stanley Cup once again!
Well of course by Law God would win, but he wasn't in the snowball fight, now was he?
It is far easier to tear something down than it is to build something up. Regardless of the Internet, that's just the way things work.
How can we offer free WiFi to so many people? Volume.
Gentlemen, I give you the next William Faulkner! With his twin ghostwriters, Jim Beam and Jack Daniels.
No, but he did just lose a snowball fight to Hitler...

Hey, it could happen!

I thought it interesting that internet capability was going to be a requirement, too. No more standalones for you!
