...to spite their face. Harvard just regected 119 of the most qualified bussiness school bound students in the country. They will go to other, arguably equal, bussiness schools, while Harvard will take on 119 lesser qualified applicants to fill its vacancies. What schmucks...
...Really should be taken with a grain of salt. While a great piece of writing, its factual content is questionable. Perhaps it has accidentaly created a new genre: gonzo games journalism, just as its elder counterpart gonzo journalism split from the new journalism movement.
I mean...I owned a few old HP desktops of this general shape (that had the moniter resting on top of them). Invariably, I (or one of my lunkhead friends) would set a drink down on top of it, spill it through the fan vents along the top, and release the magic blue smoke. After which, it would not function.
ahh...I must confess I have a distinct gap in my knowledge about the Simpsons (I never watched the show much)...sorry about the reflex defense mechanism.
...and this may be the only time in my life that I say this...That even though the government has completely dropped the ball on space, that corporations are going to be able to close the gap.
It just seems as though there could be a thousand other factors involved that led to these results, aside from carrots, or even that the statistical signifigance of the "cured" sample isn't really sufficent. I guess I've just seen a few too many studies like this.
Hmm...you don;t believe in reading much do you?
I'm hardly a religious zealot, as that would mean I would have to relly even more on a logically unsound system. I'm just saying that the next time someone tells me that Hedgehogs cause cancer, I'm going to take it with a grain of salt, and the media probably should, too.
I really want this to be true and valid...but I can't help but seeing all of these scientific studies as one big logical fallacy:
Post hoc, ergo propter hoc
Just because one event happens after another does not mean that event 1 caused event 2. I know, it is a necessary evil to have limited size studies, but after hearing the 10th or 11th flip-flop over if eggs are going to kill me or save me, I can't put too much faith in this.
It's only like 40 here in Connecticut right now...so he isn't THAT crazy. Still, keeping your computer on a deck, especially when winter is like 2003, when it routinely dipped down below 0 at night, does signal that there may be something wrong with you.
This is a ways away from a "single government ID". That makes it sound like we are all going to get barcodes on our necks, this is simply a way to streamline the process of verifying federal employees, just as corporations have for years...this is not a problem. It becomes an issue when the ID starts to become mandatory for the non-governmental public, where the potential for abuse is.
Those little punks need some sense beaten into them. I think it would be appropriate to administer a severe beating to each by smacking them upside the head repeatedly with an old Atari joystick, then pistol whipping them with a Nintendo light gun.
Or, maybe I'm just over-reacting because the artical makes me feel old.
In the immortal words of a thousand Fark headlines, "Still no cure for cancer."
...And yet, you are sittig here cracking wise about it. So, for the moment, let the medical student have some fun, unless you are planning to get up from the computer, stop reading/. and go save the planet.

With the right technique, what was once a gaping hole in the universe can blend in smoothly with the surrounding space.
Good...there is hope for my hometown yet...

Hardly...they'll be accepted at Columbia, or UPenn or any of the top tier bussiness schools, and all will be well...
if you saw George Lucas dressed up as Vader at a game studio...you would take that many pictures, too...

I think it would be wonderful to have a little sticker on the front of that box: "G5 Inside"...or, perhaps for now: "Plastic Inside"
Why would anyone want a computer that could aptly be described as looking like a lunchbox?
...welcome our new fuzzy overlords...
can we view the predictions online somewhere?

Although I'm almost afraid to hear the answer...where in the hell have you seen these photos?
Isn't that about the same time that Livejournal went down? THEY ARE COMING FOR US!!!1!!!1!

Well, I see someone has their Pull-Ups in a bunch today.
Christ...I remember those. I don't want to kill them, though, just teach them a lesson.

Let the students have their fun. I'm sure this study was done with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
