I propose a sliding scale of crimes you can get away with given a certain disease. For example:
Restless leg syndrome - Jaywalking
Crohn's Disease - Speeding
Lupus - Disorderly conduct
MS - Copyright infringement
AIDS - Grand theft auto
Terminal cancer - Attemped murder
I'm sure you all can work it out from here.
Think about it: how are you going to write the image of RAM to the hard disk without using any RAM? If you do use any, you'll have to record that, too.
While James came up with new statistical tools like win shares and the Pythagorean win percentage, his bigger influence was in suggesting that there were new ways to consider baseball, and that the common tools -- ERA, batting average, wins by a pitcher, etc -- were poor predictors. This lead to the rise of sabermetrics, a term he even coined. However, many of the tools that are now well regarded were developed by others. Voros McCracken's groundbreaking DIPS, Keith Woolner's VORP, and Nate Silver's PECOTA projections, for example.
It should also be noted that Billy Beane's key statistic wasn't any of those created by James, but on-base percentage (OBP). James (and subsequently many others) showed that OBP is a much stronger predictor than the other common stats. And the reason Beane focused on it had more to do with the fact that OBP was undervalued by the other GMs, thereby making it cheap and reliable. Since the release of Moneyball, that has changed to some degree, and there are some who think Beane has moved his focus elsewhere; to other inefficiencies in the market.
I didn't RTFA, but how is this any different than a digital fingerprint?
As far as the info at the beginning goes, anybody who cares to do so could simply chop off the first few seconds in any decent movie editor.

Amazing. Considering the Acers I've used, it's shocking that they're still around, let alone capable of buying another company!

Where better to announce Starcraft 2 than in Korea? Kekeke!

That's why we have PECOTA and similar systems to predict future player performance. The guys over at Baseball Prospectus do this all the time. This is nothing new.
Wright's gone on record as saying this was the game that he longed to make when they did SimEarth.
