That's not true! There was a time period where this was the case BUT a "long time"?? No way.
It was quickly realized that augmenting ticket sales with radio adverts helped pay the bills and the strategy was quickly adopted. There's always an initial hesitation to advances in technology in professional sports but I think the MLB has been fairly good about adopting technology rather quickly. There was certainly not a long period of time where the New York teams weren't on the radio.
The parent was not arguing that the measurements were examples of poor science. It was stated as unmeasurable. That's quite a leap from the article to "unmeasurable." And your argument, which is already brewing in your head, that if numbers without any significance are going to be released, they may as well have not measured anything. But again, not correctly measuring something and something being unmeasurable are two different things. Now, from your replies to this thread, I am assuming that you are using two different accounts. I don't know why this is the case. Also, learn the difference between "they're" and "their." It's important.
I wish Superman would get off his ass and do that whole 'spin-the-world' backwards so we could go back in time and prevent the term 'El Nino' from being invented - which so many bad stand-up comics have used to no end. Also, I would not buy my Voodoo 3 card.
the 3D0 wasn't a bad system, certainly not "the worst." And Sega's problems post-Genesis have always been with marketing and getting game developers to develop on their systems. They really burned a lot of people with the Sega CD followed by the 32X followed by the rush job they called the Saturn.
I think if Company X, Company Y, and Company Z have taught us anything it is that you can't define a market strategy that will always work in a sentence. Yes, sometimes lesser products to gain footholds because of lead time and sometimes they don't. In business, it's not always quality that is king. There are quite a few more issues and trying to simplify those, as you did or as the parent did, are just going to fail.
Yes, I know. The brain benefits from being a cluster of computational units. Fifteen years ago I could have set up a similar cluster of computers and achieved the same speeds. You need to consider your analogy a little bit more closely before you launch it.
You seem to be enjoying OUR Internet quite a bit. If you hate us Americans so much, get the fuck off of our Internet. Furthermore, there's a difference between the Plain Old Text option and the HTML Formatted option. You figure it out genius.
Also, I hate Nascar and have no interest in watching it but you're generalizing about Americans, which makes you gay. Yeah, because there are no race tracks in other parts of the world that are oval. What a fucktard you are.
That's nonsense. There is a reason poor people are poor. It's because they're pathetic fuck-ups with no ambition, drive, or intelligence. They are truly the bottom of the barrel and belong there. If the government does not see fit to get rid of them, the least they can do is attempt to hide their stench from me, a worthy citizen. The poor should be kept in slums and prevented from ever entering my neighborhood. They are shit and should be treated accordingly.
Keep the poor and stupid off the Internet.

· Score: 0, Offtopic
I don't think that when Columbia blew up, the citizens of countries whose opinion I care about were thinking, "Ah, stupid Americans..." You think that suddenly because of Columbia, we can longer have pride in our space program? But, we've lost a shuttle in the past. Were we able to still have pride then? Or was two the magic number? After two shuttle explosions, we can't have any more pride? Who set this number? Was it you? What are your credentials?
Now, I believe with other countries beginning to make more forays into space, the American shuttle program will be looked at as an innovative first step towards reaching the goal of cheap space flight. I don't think it will be seen as a failure. The fact that we have a fleet of vehicles which can be sent into space time and time again is quite extraordinary in and of itself. The rest of the world looks at our program as something which has paved the way for what they are doing. It is because we have already forged ahead that many countries are following.
Ultimately, it is worth the money to keep investing in NASA. The money needs to be monitored and we need to ensure that new goals of safer and better space flight are being met.
To me, you sound like Chicken Little. One explosion does not an administration destroy young grasshopper.
"Just the simple fact that you keep coming back for the abuse goes to reinforce my belief that you're a worthless bag of flesh, here for my amusement (not unlike your daddy's scrotum was for you in your youth)."
Kettle, pot: black. You figure it out towel-head.
Work on your material though. The whole family thing isn't really as witty as you seem to think it is. Oh, and those sites I "linked" to [you Internet-guru you! look at you with the terminology - I bet your community college instructors would be proud to see you now] were easily found with this exciting "Internet" website called Google. Check it out some time! Now, come back with something son.

Palm PDA Roundup

· Score: 1, Funny
From the Sony PEG-SJ33 CLIÉ(TM) special features list: "Battery Life"
Wow, this PDA comes with battery life? Wow! I need one of these! I've been running around with a PDA that has batteries but no life! I always thought to myself, "You know, some life would be great for these batteries but, no, I dream too large."
(Mods, this isn't a troll - Check the review - they actually have "battery life" listed as a special feature.
Pussy? Yeah, right. You love cock. You can't get enough man-sausage.
Doing a quick calculation, it appears that in your short lifetime you've already sucked 25,000 different dicks. That's a lot of dick. Now, let us assume that each dick was sucked a minimum of 10 times. Obviously this is a low estimate since we both know that you've sucked your dad off at least 1,000 times. But anyway, this means you've given 250,000 blow jobs. Now then this article points out that each ejaculation averages to be about 1 tablespoon of semen and semenal fluid. 1 tablespoon is equal to 15 mL according to this article. So if you've had 250,000 tablespoons of semen shot into you, you've consumed 3,750,000 mL of semen. Furthermore we know that 1 quart equals 946.36 mL from this webpage. Therefore, you have had 3,962 quarts of semen. Ultimately, this means that you've ingested 990 gallons of semen. Consider this, an in-ground pool with dimensions of five feet by seven feet and a shallow depth of one foot and a deep depth of seven feet holds roughly 1,050 gallons (source). You've drank an entire swimming pool of semen.
Ultimately, you're a homosexual and this means that you will soon be battling AIDS so don't expend energy trying to keep up with me, you lazy Muslim.
I was not denying your right to talk about OS/2. I was explaining to you why it is unlikely for an OS that is not widely used to have viruses written for it. A virus writer wants to affect the most systems, in most cases, and thus an OS such as OS/2 with a very low installed user base, does not warrant much interest. Why are you so angry? I never said you didn't have a right to talk about OS/2 and my correction of your grammar was 100% correct. I thought you would like to know because when I hear people use the "word" "virii", I think much less of them.
Hey pussy, how's the whole not-hacking-it-as-a-CS-major working out for you? I know you have trouble with Math and real problems. It's much easier to install MS Office for someone than to program. Good career choice! Of course, you didn't have a choice since you're a fucking idiot with no dick and no brain - fagmaster. From this point on, when you introduce yourself to people you should say the following: "Hello! I am General Fagmaster of the Brown Army of Sodomites. May I bend over and receive some form of large object in my anus from you?" Got it homo?
Fuck you, you pansy. Anyone with a CS degree is about two billion times more intelligent than you, you worthless communications faggot. You are not a tech by any stretch of the imagination and you should not describe yourself as such - you fucking queer. Fuck you!
First of all, the plural of virus is viruses. The "word" "virii" does not exist so cut it out. Second of all, the number of viruses for a particular architecture/protocol/application/operating system is directly proportional to the installed user base. Stop trolling in this manner.
Look up the definition of a republic again genius. And you can't drive vehicles of any type because the manufacturing process has to be such that certain emissions are curbed dumbass. You're talking nonsense and therefore I'm not going to waste any more time on you. In conclusion, you're probably Muslim.
You are using a slippery slope argument. This is a flawed manner of argument and you should reflect on your position and correct it. For instance, I could say that since we allow the government to regulate the operation of motor vehicles, it is only a matter of time before the government regulates all aspects of life. This is not accepted as an argument in any standard logic I have ever followed. For more information please see this webpage.
Now, you ask where do we draw the line? We don't draw the line. The politicians you have elected do. This is a republic, not a democracy and therefore if you are concerned with this problem, contact your representative and find out where he or she stands. I hope you know who your representative is.
I think that is because the articles are trying to give a very general overview of the life cycle of NT. The various corporate dealings of Microsoft aren't of consequence when discussing how a huge project such as NT gets off the ground and how new demands cause new solutions to be found. And the article did mention that the choice to go to Win32 rather than OS/2 helped to sour the relationship between IBM and Microsoft. What more did you want?
And while you're right that this article is a very happy view of NT, it's interesting from the standpoint of how a project grows and new versioning control systems are added to handle such growth. Sure, the articles are heavy on fluff and light on details - but Microsoft is closed source. They're not going to give you much more. I honestly am not sure why you're so upset with these articles.
That's for people who can't hack the CS classes. What's the matter pussy, Math a little too hard for you? Yeah, that's right - you're a fucking faggot.
Don't act like you switched out of some desire. You switched because you were going to fail out. I've got a copy of your transcript you dirty, filthy faggot. You are a goddamned liar if you say otherwise! Fuck you!
Your original statement said that movies that are received well by the public (you made no mention of individual demographics - in fact, you stated male, female, 9 to 90 asshole) did not receive nominations. I then argued that plenty of movies that are enjoyed by the general public not only are nominated but win an Oscar. Your nonsense about "our community" is just that - nonsense. I pointed out how you were wrong. Now take your medicine, bitch.
