Amusing story, but it's doesn't really show anything. "Yeah, yeah" is just a repetition of the same word, it is not a double positive. The same way that saying "no, no" would not be a double negative. There needs to be some context that the negative is negating in order for there to be a double negative.
I haven't exhaustively thought about it, but it makes sense that there isn't (and in fact can not be) a double positive. The reason that there can be a double negative is that it negates what it's modifying, so you can negate it again to reverse it (like -1 * -1 = 1); however, a positive merely confirms/affirms what it's modifying, so adding a second positive is no different then a single positive, so a double positive is the same as a positive (1 * 1 = 1).
exactly... the middle is NOT the best move. Of course... even using this method you can typically only beat someone if they're not giving the game their full attention:)
Now, I just got that from a Google search, so I'm not sure about the quality of the videos, but it should be enough to get most "typical" users over the superficial differences between Microsoft Office and Open Office.
Well, it depends on where you are. In North America, the Dreamcast was September 1999, the PS2 October 2000, and the Xbox and Gamecube were November 2001. So only a year if you assume the dreamcast couldn't compete.
It was closer to 1.5 years in Japan or Europe (March 2000-September 2001 in Japan, or November 2000-March 2002 in Europe).
If you're right that he was a "moderate" consumer, that's ridiculous. He said he was drinking a case of coke a day (244 oz) and then switched to diet and was drinking "4 or 5 20oz bottles and 12+ 12oz cans daily" (164+ oz).
I'd be more worried about even being able to physically consume that much liquid... for the Pepsi it'd be just over 33 gallons of Pepsi...
Don't get me wrong... I love the stuff... but, 33 gallons? Apparently the typical stomach can hold up to about 6 pints so I don't think we have to worry about anyone dying from overdose of Pepsi anytime soon...
I worked 20 hours/week throughout college at a work study job, in addition to coursework towards 2 degrees. The job paid shit (7/hr) but was among the better paying work study jobs at the time. Working at that job all school year (roughly 40 weeks) and having an unpaid internship over the summer meant making about $5600/year.
Now having to pay rent/utilities, groceries, school books/etc, it really doesn't seem unreasonable that my parents would help out to pay for something.
Personally, I didn't have a cell phone in college so the point is moot for me, but it stands in general that a college student may not really have that much of an income.
Well... in defense of some reviews... SSX Blur does have poor controls in my opinion. I've loved the SSX games, and so I picked up SSX Blur right away.
Now I'm sure with more practice the controls would seem better, but with many Wii games the controls just make more sense and feel better from the start. And if it doesn't work out nicely right away, it won't get played as much in my house because my fiance is a very casual gamer and won't take the time to practice till it feels right.
Though, I mostly agree with you about not really trusting professional reviewers:)
Myers-Briggs personality types really have little to nothing to do with organization strategies.
I'm an INTP (or INTJ, depending on when I take the test, I'm on the edge), but I'm much more similar to how you described your spouse than yourself.
Well, I knew of two in the Chicago area. I'm sure there were probably more, but both of those closed a few months ago with huge going out of business sales (at which I browsed, and the prices were still ridiculous even at 30-70% off)
Now a search of their site for Chicago yields the closest store 98 miles away.
Thank god... I haven't read the article yet, but my first thought on the summary was, "Gary Sinese looks kinda like McCoy... why would he be playing Scotty?"
I'll have to check the box I have at home, but all the ingredient lists I was able to pull up from google listed vanilla extract. Though now, at the actual nabisco site, I see that ingredient list. Though if you look at the reduced fat ones, they still list vanilla extract, which I'm glad I noticed now, otherwise I'd get home, check my box of reduced fat nilla wafers, and post back on here saying you were wrong:)
Umm... Nilla wafers do contain vanilla... specifically natural and artificial flavors (which likely includes vanilla) as well as vanilla extract... which is taken from vanilla beans...
I wish I had mod points to mod you up, but alas...
In any case, I concur... the original article clearly says they were using sponges that had been soaked in wastewater.
Still now sure how you get that. Are you choosing the right version of the E521? With the Athlon 64 X2 processor? Since that's what the E521N uses?
I did a direct match comparison on the E521 and E521N and the E521 was like $20 cheaper.
The only one I see that doesn't in the Home/Home Office is the lowest cost one, which doesn't even have the same processor as the E521N so can't be compared. All the other three options include a free 320gb drive upgrade.
Also, I kept getting compatibility errors when customizing, saying that my selected drives weren't compatible with my selected OS of Windows Vista. Obviously they've got something confused somewhere...
I did a comparison of E521N and E521 (home/homeoffice) and found the E521N to be $20 more expensive.
E521N: $749
E521: $729
For some reason I couldn't select No monitor on the E521N, so they're both with the cheapest monitor possible, 1gig of ram, 320gb hard drives (because it was a free upgrade on the E521, if I go down to 250 which was the free upgrade on the E521N, then the 521N is $659), DVDRW drive, and the 256 Nvidia 7300LE.
Not sure what the actual license was at my school, but we were able to check out copies of MS software (including windows) from the library for 24 hours. The serial number was printed on a sticker on the case, so there were hundreds (probably more like thousands) of users using the same serials on their installs.
You obviously need to read more about statistics as well as other imaging studies.
As another poster has pointed out, statistical significance is not only based on the sample size, but also on the size of the obvserved effect (deviation from the expected).
And 45 is a fairly large number of people to be used in an imaging study (in fact many experimental studies -- so non-survey -- probably use similar sample sizes, brain imaging or not). Many imaging studies get routinely published with far fewer subjects (I've seen them published on as few as 6 or 8 before). These are in peer-reviewed journals, and by the time they get accepted for publication they have likely gone through several rounds of issues that the reviewers point out to be dealt with.
Now I'm not saying that the study doesn't have problems, and I agree that a computer game inside a brain scanner probably isn't the best place to be measuring altruistic behavior, but I'd appreciate if you'd investigate the field a bit before forming baseless arguments about sample size.

No need... it has GPS included in the phone already.

There are Linux compatible HDTV cards availabe at http://www.pchdtv.com/
They're specifically marketed towards Linux users, though it does mention in the FAQ that they have 32bit windows drivers available.
Something you may want to look into and poke around on their forums to see how well they work under Windows, if that's what you're using.

I enjoy that this article comes immediately after the article about Balmer threatening linux vendors to "respect his company's intellectual property"

How is this any different from current online games that rely on quick actions, like FPSs?
