  1. Intresting choice of words on Antidepressants Work No Better Than a Placebo · · Score: 1, Insightful

    However, when the unpublished data is taken into account the difference between the effects of drug and placebo becomes clinically meaningless -- just a 1 or 2 point difference on a 30-point depression rating scale -- except for the most severely depressed patients. I'd say that this part could be interpreted as "People resort to drugs against depression too lightly" That's what I thought when I read those words at least.
  2. Re:Sweet on Electronic Arts Offers $2B For Take Two · · Score: 0

    Actually, I'd say that releasing a new FIFA every year is a good service to the fans of the game. Not as good as cheap updates through the net would be, but still, there are people who want to play football having the latest and updated rosters of the teams. Also, with each step, there are differences, such as the recent expansion of the languages, now I can hear the commentaries in Swedish, as well as English if I so wish. I'm not saying EA isn't a greedy company, but if it's such a bad thing to release a sports-sequel every year, why do people keep buying them?

  3. Re:I Hope MMOs All Die on The Future of MMOs · · Score: 0

    I disagree, it's very possible to be unique in these games, actually, since you can be more of yourself here, than other online games, such as shooters, and other popular games. Take wow for example, when I play, i'm not one in the crowd, I interact with the people around, my guild, my IRL friends, and such, something I tend to do less in TF2 for example. I may perhaps look like some others, but still, it's me behind that character. Also, many of these games work with several ways to play the game, WoW for example may only have 3 roles in a group, but several ways of achieving these, especially since the expansion.

  5. Re:Good and bad on Fly Over Mars... in a Robotic Balloon · · Score: 1

    Bad: Mars' atmosphere is about 0.5% of our. In other words, it's 99.5% vacuum. Wait a minute, how can something be 99.5% nothing?
