Even if you for some reason choose to ignore the science known as chemistry, data acquired in a good manner shows that homeopathic "medicines" have no more effect than a placebo. It most definitely does not work.
Being a "skeptic" achieves not being fooled into taking placebos instead of proper drugs, which can save your life in many cases.
Actually it's a concern that will be taken extremely seriously. If these were national elections, the Pirate Party would decide which one of the two alliances would rule. This gives them immense bargaining power.
And anyway, the most important point the PP is pushing is the right to privacy, which is being continuously eroded. R&D is already funded (mostly) by the government, btw.
I think that in the next 5 years the PP will focus more on presenting these issues to older people, as well. Singing to the choir will only get you so far..
I think this has a lot to do with the way the party is represented by the media: when older people hear that the PP is "for the legalization of file sharing", they obviously don't think this is an important issue. If they knew the extent of the damage being done to personal liberties and privacy, they would be more willing to vote for the pirates.
They plan to vote with their group, which is going to be either the liberals or the greens. Obviously this gives them some power: an additional vote for issues the group supports gives them some bargaining power.
They also want to reform patent and trademark law, but that's it. However, the issues that they are dealing with, most importantly the right to privacy, are in my mind (and obviously many others) much more important than the issue of whether taxes should be at 31% or 32%.
He has an obligation to the shareholders to not be "patriotic", but instead to maximise the value of the company. He could be sued in to the ground if he didn't.
more movies, more characters, more weapons, unlockables, achievements
None of those has happened. The campaigns for versus should have been in the game from the beginning and the new mode is a ridiculiously tiny update which they probably hacked together over a couple afternoons. How is it justified to sell the updates which were promised to be free, as a new game?
They were constantly touting the constant updating as a major selling point.
[Gabe] said: "One of the things that we're doing is we seem to be in a transition between games as a package product and games more of a service. So if you look at Team Fortress 2, one of things that's really helped grow the community is the continuous updates, where we release new maps, new character classes, new unlockables, new weapons. And we tell the stories about the characters, like the meet the sniper, or meet the sandwich. And that ongoing delivery of content really seems to grow the community.
"So each time we've released one of those for Team Fortress 2 we've seen about a 20% increase in the number of people who are playing online. And that number is really important because it determines how many community created maps there are, how many servers are running, and so on. So we'll do the same thing with Left 4 Dead where we'll have the initial release and then we'll release more movies, more characters, more weapons, unlockables, achievements, because that's the way you continue to grow a community over time."
Software as a service is good, if done properly. Look at TF2! You buy the game, and keep getting awesome new content constantly.
However, if you see gaming as software as a service then the logical thing would be to keep providing content for L4D instead of releasing another game..
Not even that. Any negative NPV investment should simply not be made, and if all available options are negative NPV the money should be paid out instead.
I seriously doubt there is any causal link between facebook and lower grades. I'm pretty sure that simply adding IQ to the regression would explain everything: low iqs: facebook account & low grades, high iqs: no facebook account & high grades.
The average person using facebook is the average person commenting on youtube videos: incredibly stupid. Facebook does nothing better than any other method of communication, and you have to use a shitty interface and tolerate facebook users to do..what?
If you want asynchronous communication you can use any IM software out there, emails, forums, etc.
What's your point? ISPs have very good returns to scale. Also, there places like London in the UK with ridiculous population densities, which (theoretically) makes it much easier to provide high speed broadband. The problem always has been, is, and will be BT.

I think it proves that the news outlets in Europe aren't having as many slow news days.
Oh, trolls...you have remained exactly the same in the last decade.

Maximum profit given available options = good.

Why on earth don't they this on their website
Because they accidentally the whole thing.
Well, a meritocracy is pretty much the exact opposite of a democracy, so I don't see a problem with that.

Just like the graphic novel, the point is not the plot. As the creators have said, the plot is just an excuse for a number of character studies.
Sure, it's expensive, but due to scale and population density it would be much cheaper per residence in the UK than it was in Norway.

Anyone can be brilliant.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
