So then, the critics' higher number isn't misleading, it is simply a different way of looking at the numbers. I love when folks use apples and oranges comparisons to make their arguments.
I for one, like the blow 'em up games. I just don't like arguments based on bad math.
I think my larger point was that each of us makes up part of a team. Put a PHB in charge of setting the specs for a large program, and you are in trouble. Put a code monkey in charge of marketing, and you are in trouble. I see a billion rants about stupid managers, and how Slashdot Geek #12345 knows how it is done. The bubble proved that business decisions should be made by those with business sense.
But everyone knows that geeks know everything about business, and the PHBs are the ones who destroy business! How could all these big geek corps go out of business? I blame Bill Gates and George Bush.
Unfortunately, we have been trained to believe that the NFL is football and that MLB is baseball.
I like watching highschool ball, and minor league baseball (affiliated with MLB). Not the highest level of the sport. But if more people could take or leave the big leagues, we would not have 8 figure contracts and multi-million dollar licensing deals.
You say "they" need the bitchslap. I think the American public does. Paying extreme amounts of money to watch grown men play a game... idolizing criminals and buying their shoes... EA and others are the symptom not the disease.
"nothing new under the sun" is a reference to the common refrain in Ecclesiastes. Try reading the book, it is amazing to see the thought process so similar to today's current thinking process. The writer is apperently very rich (though I doubt it was really king solomon as most of the church claims).
This person tries to find the meaning of life and finds that everything is ultimately futile. Whether one persues virtue or not, whether one pursues knowledge and wisdom or foolishness, ultimately nothing matters.
The Bible actually records similar sentiments (and its answer to the dilemna) a couple centuries before that even. Nihilism isn't really new.... as it is written: 'Nothing new under the sun'.
Then you will also excuse me if I don't jump up and down whenever the theories change. For more interesting reading, check out books on child rearing 60 years ago. Then read books 30 years ago on child rearing. Then read today's books on child rearing. You will find that the modern school of thought reflects the old school more than the 30 year ago school.
We have American journalists who disclose the identity of Americans operating as spies in other countries... and these journalists do no time. I won't argue the merits of these cases. However, if a journalist goes to jail for reporting on, what is at worst, a corporate espionage case, then we have a huge travesty of justice.
Opposition to "No Child Left Behind" -- Get the government out of mandating how our children are taught.
ummmm... excuse me.... the gov't does mandate how kids are taught. Democrats shove their agenda... Republicans theirs. This won't end unless we privatize education (not advocating, just stating a fact).
And Democrats and Republicans alike are making societry more dependent on government.
George W Bush has not decreased government or social programs.
George Bush did not decrease government or social programs.
Ronald Reagan did not decrease goverment or social programs.
And btw, your law is screwed. It should be between the years 2000 and 2008, not 'during'. Yours indicated that he will only be blamed for two of the (nine years).
And on top of it, it should be years 2001-2008. He was inaugerated in 2001.
And on top of that, it shuld indicate that bush will be blamed if and only if Microsoft can't be blamed first.
Mind Puzzle
Person A is an idiot decides he likes to bash guy with political slant X even if it is not relevatnt.
Person B decides to emulate person A except he goes after guy with political slant Y.
What does this make Person B?
Yes, it is much better to adore those at the bottom of the social hierarchy. They are the ones with the best ideas. It is always the damn man who keeps them down.
No, the public should tell the NFL where to go. If people are stupid enoug to vote for tax subsidies for billionaires, then they are stupid enough to vote for tax breaks for billionaires without any compensation for themselves.

Is this 18% by title, or 18% by sales? No, I did not RTFA :)

American football is not exclusive. The NFL is.
Baseball is not exclusibe. The MLB is.

I have no contractual obligation to Apple. They have no right to try to stop what i say unless my actions are libel.
If I worked for Apple and signed an NDA, they can come after me. They have no ability to come after me otherwise.

Not only that, but he should smile, grab a fork and pretend its chocolate cake.
Do we respect people's first ammendment rights more than we love apple? I am a free thinker... please tell me what to think...

I am not his supporter. I'd just like to read an IT article without seeing Bush, Clinton, or some other politician being brought up.

Wow... yet another Bush slam craftfully woven into the slashdot fabric. I am amazed.
It's getting old, and I didn't even vote for the guy.
