Hey mods, the parent appears to be accurate and the story's submitter's info a little off.
As the parent says, IMDB shows no mention of removal of this song. And a few minutes of googling, including a check of Snopes, shows no evidence of this removal.
To at least make the article into one continuous stretch of nothing, rather than nothing broken by ads every so often, click here for the printer-friendly version.
Dogmatixpsych seems to have nailed the science end of this. I'd just like to add some anecdotal evidence.
According to me: Hell yes, the good habits ingrain themselves as well. If not, I would go back to bed at 5:30 every morning rather than staggering downstairs and getting on my bike for an hour. It seems to be doing those things long enough to make them a habit that's the kicker.
I know it routinely gets abused, but wouldn't selling to people in other states fall under the interstate commerce clause and therefore not be addressed by the tenth amendment?
I heartily second the minidisc option. Yes, the software blows.
But the battery life is incredible. I use mine biking and snowboarding, and change the battery maybe twice a year. Plus, it's survived horrible yard-sale-style boarding crashes as well as being dropped onto concrete several times.
Now if someone would just hack together a nicer interface for putting songs on MD devices...
Just to echo your Billy Ray point, I saw the same thing happen with Puddle of Mudd, except the rest of the band didn't even make it out for a summer tour. Just the singer/songwriter.
OT, yes, and sounding somewhat trollish, but Fox has not seen the error of their ways yet with Family Guy, the error being that they brought it back.
I've tried to watch it a few times and always found it gratingly annoying. OTOH, other staples of a geeky animation diet, such as Futurama, I do enjoy.
By single player, I meant not logging on at all, zero MMO, just an RPG. I imagine the programming to bring all the logic onto one computer rather than relying on serverside information would be some work, but the art and game content are already there. They would just need to repackage it in an offline form.
Maybe they're miffed at how this was sanitized and willing to spend some time as ACs actually answering. With that hope, I'll repost my question which was posted way too late for the original question batch:
What about single player?
Sounds odd, but hear me out:
I'm not a huge fan of MMO's, but I've played a couple (EQ & CoH). How hard would it be to package the world and soloable quests into a single player, non-online game?
Why don't MMO's offer this as an introductory experience? If people like the single player, they could upgrade to the online, monthly-fee system.
And those of us with severely limited gaming time could play offline, alone, at our own pace. All while making Blizzard money off an already-developed product.
C'mon devs, we know you're reading this. Shoot us some AC answers!

It's right down the street from those three electronics factories: Magnetbox, Panaphonics, and Sorny.

Can you explain further? This sentence doesn't seem to make any sense to me.
Is that because of:

Moderations like on the parent are what made me choose this nick.
To over-explain, typically in a post here, when a link is not what it's described as, it goes to something scary and upsetting, such as goatse.
As this was an article at Gamasutra rather than the expected and described 1up link, I jokingly asked if that were going to become par for the course.
So no, it's not off-topic, and yes, my nickname has once again been validated.

So is Gamasutra the new goatse?

It's obvious, isn't it?
The link between dark matter/relativity/donuts/whatever and gaff tape must be some sort of cosmic leatherman.
C'mon folks, what do you think Occam's frickin' razor actually is anyway?
Just to echo your Billy Ray point, I saw the same thing happen with Puddle of Mudd, except the rest of the band didn't even make it out for a summer tour. Just the singer/songwriter.
For everyone else who's stumped by this, the director apparently wanted Everett McGill, but got Bruce McGill instead.
Yes, OSC is a batshit fascist asshat.
...just pretend that Card died in a car crash mere seconds after finishing the final draft of Ender's Game and he never wrote anything else.
Yes, Ender's Game is still worth a read.
Just do like the AC earlier in this thread suggested and:

This just another attempt of theirs to eschew their customers...
Methinks you misspelled screw.

Guess I should have been more specific.

I think Wal-mart tried this and was strong-armed by M$soft.
Evil though the Walton empire may be, they are still selling systems with no os.
...Hydrogenous network...
I'm guessing the right interpretation is somewhere between hydrogenous and heterogenous:
We need partially hydrogenated networks. That way, when some machines get infected, we can simply blow them up.
Or ignore them and eat chips.
Contextclick.com is another shining example of this that you ought to block.

True. And that first year of eDonkey was absolutely badass. The speed was unbelievable.
