Indeed, so you'd find it surprising then that given the number of Scientists who are against Climate Change that none of them have managed to change to consensus in anything like the way Lavoisier did? Can you think of any reasons why this is the case ?
Richard Lindzen, professor of atmospheric science at MIT, has a good clue...
So how is it that we don't have more scientists speaking up about this junk science? It's my belief that many scientists have been cowed not merely by money but by fear. [...]
In 1992, [senator Al Gore] ran two congressional hearings during which he tried to bully dissenting scientists, including myself, into changing our views and supporting his climate alarmism. [...]
In Europe, Henk Tennekes was dismissed as research director of the Royal Dutch Meteorological Society after questioning the scientific underpinnings of global warming. Aksel Winn-Nielsen, former director of the U.N.'s World Meteorological Organization, was tarred by Bert Bolin, first head of the IPCC, as a tool of the coal industry for questioning climate alarmism. Respected Italian professors Alfonso Sutera and Antonio Speranza disappeared from the debate in 1991, apparently losing climate-research funding for raising questions.
And you know better than anybody almost that in your industry a single game can revolutionize the entire gaming industry -- and you experienced that with Super Mario Brothers which invented the side scrolling adventure.
Wrong. SMB is obviously not an adventure, it is a platformer; but it is not the first side scrolling platformer either, far from it. Rock-Ola's Jump Bug was the first, 4 years before SMB.

Why are folks willing to shell out $60 every 4 months or so for games which will given them at most two months of enjoyment, but unwilling to pay $200 once for something that they will use for three years to write all their documents etc (like Office?)
You've pretty much answered it yourself. You'd pay for something that'll give you enjoyment, but not for something that'll make you suffer!
the vast majority of african-americans will vote for obama to see a black man elected president... the vast majority of women will vote for hillary to see a woman elected president
Alright, put both factors together and you get the best choice. CONDI RICE '08!
The Americans will occupy Iraq until public opinion forces them out. So it's up to the public.
That's what happened in Vietnam. That's why the american forces solidly won in the battlefield but had to quit anyway. After they left, communists took power -- and killed far more people than the war. Guns don't kill people, peacenik bullshit does!
Let me try to make this really damn clear. It's not that Prince of Persia is simply an action-adventure. I'm saying Prince of Persia is action-adventure itself. It does not simply belong in the genre, it is the genre, it is the very definition of action-adventure.
Is there a way to mod that "-1 clueless"? Because you have no idea of what an adventure game is!
Just because it doesn't involve 2D sprites and some hand-painted backgrounds doesn't mean that what is often called an 'RPG' isn't a traditional adventure game.
Nor does Myst. Nor does Grim Fandango. But they play like adventures, so they are adventures. The ones you mentioned are not adventures because they don't play like adventures. They are action RPGs.

No, it does not make sense. They're being punished for commiting a VICTIMLESS CRIME.

Alright. *gives you copy of "Atlas Shrugged"*
Uh, wait a minute...... *grabs it back* Go buy your own!
Zelda is an action-RPG. Why? It's the same thing here, Zelda does not simply belong in the genre, Zelda is the very definition of the genre.
