There's a flaw with this study. They fail to realize that the headaches and nausea are caused by the 3G service, not the 3G waves. The quicker reaction times can be attributed to the fact that people are constantly answering their cel phones as fast as humanly possible, and the improved memory is just a sign that we're forcing ourselves to memorize dozens of bits of contact information for each person we know.
The MA rating is not legally binding. Therefore, simply because an underaged person plays the game, it doesn't mean that nothing they do can be attributed to the game. Since you make no contract or agreement to only play it if you're over 18, you're not obligated to follow the guideline.

What is it with you people and calling it "stealing"? We're "borrowing" music! We'll give it back when we're done.
So, by your logic, it's OK to start a war, just because someone else did first? Then how do you justify the first war? Obviously there was no precedent. It wasn't OK then. So all we've been doing since then was mimicing something that was wrong. Therefore, we're doing something wrong. By your own admission.
price is going to be a big factor
According to the latest issue of Official US Playstation Magazine, it's going to cost $99, the same as the Game Boy Advance SP. Amazing.
It's quite simple. We are still at war, albeit against an enemy who now has to resort to guerilla tactics. The style of warfare has changed from that of, say, the Germans in WWII to that of the Vietnamese in the Vietnam War. The war has not ended. We still have combat casualties. That's why they continue calling it a war: because it is.
Play Metroid Prime and everything bad you have ever said about the GameCube will be forgotten. That game, above all else, justifies their making the system.
I don't know about you, but if you charge $1 per month per user, you can pay the RIAA their $3.50 per 20 GB downloaded, a 50 cent tip on top of that, and with 35 million users, still have enough to pay the rent. Legally. Cool.
NO! NO! NO! That's $3.50 PER LISTENER, you GIBBERING IDIOT! not per SONG!! If you charge $1 per month, you're OUT $2.50 PER USER! Jeez, people! Learn to do SIMPLE MATH!
Gah!! This is the third time I've tried to enter a response, and every time I hit tab to go to the submit button, IE crashes. I hate Microsoft. Anyway, what I think we're all missing here is that disproving one side does not prove the other. We're all too closed-minded. For all we know, there are innumerable other possibilities for the creation of life in the universe. I believe in Creation because I have faith in God. You have faith in science. Faith is an integral part of human life. If we didn't have faith, we'd constantly be worrying about whether something was going to kill us or not. Imagine stepping into an elevator and not having faith in the people who built and inspected it. You'd probably worry the entire time that at any moment you would go shooting down the elevator shaft and die. Same thing with a car - you have faith that the engine hasn't been damaged somehow that would cause it to explode when you turn it on. Whether you admit it or not, you have faith. Without faith, we'd turn into a bunch of paranoids.
an omnipotent being who does things that we've never observed
I'm sorry if you don't notice the things God does in people's lives. I certainly do. It was my resolute decision to place my life and my faith in God that kept me from killing myself. Not a book, not a scientific theory, not some speaker at a convention, not a priest, nothing like that. I believe in God because He has impressed upon my heart that I should. I'm not a sheep. I don't believe things just because people tell me to. I believe things because God tells me to.
And no, I don't mean that I hear voices. I don't. I know that I am doing the will of God because when I pray for guidance, my conscience knows which choice to make.
OK, let's turn that around:
Oh, but do forgive me! The scientific view of evolution must be true since it's written on a book! Your argument is fallacious. Being written in a book does not prove nor disprove validity. Nor does something being written in a medical journal, biological research paper, web site, etc. If you're going to make an argument like this, make sure you're not arguing against yourself as well.
Sure, it could be true, but does it sound logical for me to say that that since I can't be totally sure of either one, both of them are equally valid theories?
Yes, they are equally valid, but notice that one and only one of them is true. The same goes for the evolution vs. Creation debate. We'll all see, some day, who was right; but just in case we Creationists are right, why even take the chance that being wrong could throw you into the hands of a righteously angry God? Might as well join up with us now, so you don't face that chance.
Which, of course, you'll never be able to show him because speciation takes a long, long time Or, possibly, because speciation doesn't exist. Evolutionists' arguments are invalid. They claim that they can't prove something because it hasn't happened in an observable fashion yet. However, they offer evidence that it is currently happening. That's like saying that you will live forever because you haven't died yet, and you exhibit evidence that you are currently living. Ridiculous.

Why are Google links ALWAYS modded 'informative'? Any poor schmuck could do it. It's not anything worthy of note.

Why is this post rated as a troll? It's a very real possibility.

It's not common, but the condition exists; it s called synesthesia.
There are three things that prevent this from being a good insult: 1. It's overused. 2. It makes no sense. 3. You spelled loser wrong. [/flamebait]

Well, at least this is a semi-original troll... that's the number for the 700 Club...

This has got to be (at least) the third time I've seen this exact post. Score +5 for originality!
Yes, but he fixed it for you: Ceci n'est pas une sig. versus Ceci ne pas un sig. You should be thanking him.
Burned-out tank, eh? Ah, I see. Hence the big WINDOW in the background. Since all tanks have windows. and STANDARD STEERING WHEELS.

The security technique isn't, no, but the reproduction is; anybody know if this really does fall under some obscure part of the DMCA??

Or maybe we need to define the difference between "share" and "copy what doesn't belong to you". Please.

Actually, I have faith in God too. Heh, there I go again, assuming all people who are pro-evolution don't believe in God :-p. Sorry about that.
