Refuted, yes, but Mr. Silver also states that rigging stats would be very simple so it's not a big deal that this is wrong. He gives a great link to Juan Cole who has some good questions and irregularities.
And let's not discount the soda makers trying to take advantage of the current public backlash against HFCS. When the corn producers have to put up ads promoting HFCS you know there's a problem there. Or, for the soda makers, an opportunity.
It's ridiculed, because what she said didn't make much sense. She was asked if she had foreign policy experience. Being in close proximity to a foreign country does not count. Maybe the reason Fey's statement is linked so much to the actual statement is because it was a good summation.
It doesn't particularly matter. Politicians say dumb things.
no, she didn't. Look, I don't pay attention to that crap. She didn't say "I can see Russia from my house." She said that Alaska keeps an eye on Russia when they come across the border and implied that Alaska somehow keeps Russia in line.
Honestly, one make her look naive and one makes her dumb. I'm not sure which is worse.
No, Bush was a completely different monster. Biden says things maybe he shouldn't, but at least it's English. Bush said dumb things in completely dumb ways. Face it, Bush was Philip J. Fry had he not been frozen.
Second, the morals of this is equal to: "We didn't like the executioner, so lets burn down his house and kill his family, while we ignore the ones who gave the order"
Is it? The bank charges the fee to the law firm. The law firm, collecting money for their clients, puts it onto the RIAA's bill. You think the law firm would pay those fees for their clients?
Apparently, Take-Two offered 30 million for the IP back in January when 3d Realms showed them the game. 3d Realms said no, but did offer to complete the game for 5 million. TT said no to that.
I don't know if that's true, but it sounds likely enough. 3d Realms has been milking this, likely, scam for years. If TT would have given them the money we'd be going through this again in two years.
Seems like this would be right up his alley. He always said he wants scientists to be appreciated like sports stars. Here's his chance to enshrine one of the most famous and far thinking of them all.
Just like when all nuclear physics came to a head when Young Albert Einstein, then a lanky youth on the island of Tazmania, split the atom finally putting bubbles in beer. So much work for such a great deed.
Easy, go to the Usenet website, take a left, go about 10-30 feet. Stop, talking to Joe my old plumber. He's not my plumber anymore. I don't know what he does now. Probably retired. Anyway, he'll give you directions to his brother, Jeff, who will give you the URL to the IRC website. Don't go directly to it. Instead, head over to your local Gopher hole. Ok, that's enough.

You're right, they probably didn't think of that. It's not like NASA is full of rocket scientists or something.

Yeah, I posted a mea culpa and you are right.

Yes, she did in fact say it.

After all these years you would still trust 3D Realms to hit a release date down to the day? Faith, man, you gots it.
Then he immediately picked them up off the floor while mumbling, "man, that's my last paycheck."
No kidding.
Really, if we distill the arguments down far enough, it becomes clear that Joel was a better host than Mike.
They did: Ms. Le Guin: "I thought, who do these people think they are? Why do they think they can violate my copyright and get away with it?"
Seems like they did exactly what you wanted.
You want horrors? You got it.

Let me quote the summary so people don't feel the need to actually view the videos as they may come away feeling as if they were not serious.
"Wake up! You're living in a socialist nightmare!"
Face it, Sweden. You need these mega corps running your government. If you don't let them how will you ever become more like America?

Good point. Quick, someone Google, I mean Wolfram Alpha "42" stat!
Offset software was bought by Intel. Expect it to be released (tech demo?) along with Larrabee.

Just because the next gen awesome-o game engine comes out doesn't mean you have to move to it. You can, you know, just finish the game.
George, is that you?

There is one important aspect missing from the summary. The FBI got a warrant first. It's not an extension of illegal wiretapping.
One of the influences for Brawndo was an old soft drink called Rondo "The Thirst Crusher."

Screw that, I'd hope Will Wright could do better with modern tech. I'm not asking for much, just Robot Jox.
