Why do they object to the streaming, when the judge allowed cameras in the courtroom? Is it because they object to giving it even more publicity? Like everything else the MAFIAA does, this confounds me.
I'd say more to the fact that the pros probably simply put it a days worth of playing. The public are going to invest more time into playing a single game than the pros who must move on to their next game to review. Such a tedious lifestyle... I played it for maybe two weeks and just got bored with it. Wash, rinse, repeat. The engine is an advancement, but that's about it. A tad buggy too, but the gameplay is same old same old.
The Miligram experiment comes to mind...hmm just following orders... Not that I don't agree with you. What would have happened if someone (read Qwest) had refused?
They don't literally send a letter addressed to "John Doe." They send a letter to the University with a time and IP address and ask the University to forward the letter to whichever person had that IP at the time. This is what Universities are so pissed about. They are the ones who have to investigate and provide proof that this person did what the MAFIAA's letter described. They put an undue burden on them and strong-arm them, and then the student into rolling because it's worked for this long.....Even though everyone knows the little proof that they have is most likely not even proof at all, or points the finger at the wrong person. Now Duke is growing a pair and saying, 'you do your job and we'll do ours: provide education and experience.' This should have happened a long time ago, but at least it's happening, right?
This seems to me to be a headline grabber with little to no actual relevance to the research within.
I gotta agree with you here, the title seems more fluff than anything. Mitochondrial DNA is highly conserved, not to say that they didn't discover a mechanism behind its conservation, but the way I see it, this doesn't appear to redefine what evolution is. DNA has several ways of correcting mutations, this almost sounds analogous to me.
The Navy has even admitted that active sonar is harmful and results in deaths of marine mammals, but like with the EPA, investigations with facts harmful to the administration's opinions are erased.
While the healthy won't die or have any serious consequences, they can still pass it on the others, who may be a greater risk.
That's why I said those at risk should be the ones who are vaccinated, otherwise, like I said before, you are putting unnecessary pressures on the virus to mutate by blanket vaccinations. As far as I know the seroprevalence of influenza isn't as problematic as other diseases and virii, so why innoculate the healthy?
I'm too lazy to drudge up some facts for this but the only people benefiting from flu vaccines are the sick, elderly, and those with lowered immune responses. If you are healthy it's minimally effective and it isn't entirely safe for young children.
I prefer using strategies which don't put extra evolutionary pressures on viruses: vaccinating those at high risk of exposure or death from exposure, and letting the adaptive immune response work for everyone else.
I agree. I don't think they are unreliable in general, just that the way they've been implemented so far. I even requested an absentee ballot this year so I can not only avoid the lines, but so I can have a hard copy to "prove" how I voted rather than trusting proprietary electronic voting machines which have been proven flawed.
I've never heard of anyone getting their account blocked. My roommate hard modded his wii and we even played mario kart online a month before it's US release. It was never an issue with updates, although you needed to update your firmware to keep certain games working. I can't speak about the homebrew software mod issue cause he didn't do it.
A: It's a teaser. From the verb to tease - to arouse curiosity without fulfillment.
It's a useful marketing tool. They aren't supposed to tell you anything about the game. They're supposed to arouse your curiosity and make you wait avidly for the next little tidbit of information. Hitchcock was great at marketing...wait, that's suspense.
Isn't the point of an enclosure to maximize airflow to specific heat generating hardware, and to keep out dust and hair, to make sure those pricy pieces of hardware aren't exposed? I like my protective aluminum mid-tower. Plus I've moved three times so far and all I had to do was pack it up with everything else. I'd imagine you'd have to protect this some other way.
and I found it boring as a game. It felt like a same-old rts which made me stop playing once I got to the civilization stage. It's all so linear, I know you have a choice b/w herbivore/carnivore but the dynamics I thought were going to be involving your choice of what your organism looks like, behaves, etc. would drive your gaming experience. Now that would have appealed to gamers and scientists alike. I personally don't see what is so wrong with a critique of a game that claimed to give an experience of natural selection and evolution.
The difference between scientific research and "intelligence" is that scientific research never postulates itself as the absolute truth. If you look at the philosophy of statistics, scientists form a hypothesis and a null hypothesis and only find evidence or a lack of evidence to reject the null. It never gathers evidence to prove a claim, only to refute the opposite of their claim.
With intelligence that never occurs; and the most stressed thing I remember from stats is that correlation != causation. That evidence in "intelligence" is gathered with the intention to prove a claim and intense action is taken when some correlation occurs.
A belief that people are born with all the brain cells they will ever have never cost people their lives and taxpayers trillions of dollars.
"Right now, Iraq is expanding and improving facilities that were used for the production of biological weapons."
United Nations address, September 12, 2002
"Iraq has stockpiled biological and chemical weapons, and is rebuilding the facilities used to make more of those weapons."
"We have sources that tell us that Saddam Hussein recently authorized Iraqi field commanders to use chemical weapons -- the very weapons the dictator tells us he does not have."
Radio address, October 5, 2002
"The Iraqi regime . . . possesses and produces chemical and biological weapons. It is seeking nuclear weapons."
"We know that the regime has produced thousands of tons of chemical agents, including mustard gas, sarin nerve gas, VX nerve gas."
"We've also discovered through intelligence that Iraq has a growing fleet of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles that could be used to disperse chemical or biological weapons across broad areas. We're concerned that Iraq is exploring ways of using these UAVS for missions targeting the United States."
"The evidence indicates that Iraq is reconstituting its nuclear weapons program. Saddam Hussein has held numerous meetings with Iraqi nuclear scientists, a group he calls his "nuclear mujahideen" -- his nuclear holy warriors. Satellite photographs reveal that Iraq is rebuilding facilities at sites that have been part of its nuclear program in the past. Iraq has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes and other equipment needed for gas centrifuges, which are used to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons."
Cincinnati, Ohio speech, October 7, 2002
"Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent."
State of the Union Address, January 28, 2003
"Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised."
Address to the nation, March 17, 2003
Just because someone believes a lie to be true doesn't mean it still isn't a lie.
I'll admit I didn't like the idea of Diablo 3 looking how it does right now until I was informed of the time frame. It's supposed to be 20 years after the end of Diablo 2 when everything has been put to rest and all that evil has left Tristram. It only had that ambiance due to what had happened just prior to the first game. It had a gothic look and feel because that was how/when it was taking place. My qualm was really that I felt WoW was bleeding over into Diablo's turf from the looks of the screenshots, but now that I have it in context of the story line I'm not much against the color scheme.
Just how old are you? I'm 23 and was required to read the latter two in school, and read 1984 on my own. I think people are apathetic about stuff like this because they don't see how it affects them, and because they aren't aware and/or understand them. I'm aware of them and barely have a working knowledge of them. All I understand is that these corporate oligarchies are trying to perpetuate old systems that are still making them a$$loads of money by screwing over the consumer.
I wouldn't doubt that a lot of what is in the bible is oral history that was eventually written down. I'm not sure where you brought up the Tree of Life, but I'll clear some things up for you. The Tree of Life is a global effort to map taxa(whatever the division of organism may be, kingdom down to species) by using related gene sequences and statistical analyses to determine just how related things are, and draw phylogenetic trees that have the highest percentage of reliability. It's simply a genetic road map of how things have been modified within DNA which can give a good picture of how organisms are related. It is a continuous map that doesn't have an end point. Who modded your post insightful?
I haven't seen much in the way of vendors are trying to outspeed each other. Verizon did recently just lay down some fiber where my parents live (in virginia) but speed has been stagnating since I remember first getting cable internet sometime in 1999, maybe verizon may spearhead the switch to fiber and increased speeds. Vendors may be increasing areas of coverage slowly but I'd say gaining customers is their priority, not upgrading networks. Lack of competition may be the source of this stagnation since only 4 names come to mind when I think broadband: Time-Warner, Comcast, Cox, and Verizon FIoS. Who else is rolling out fiber?

ahhh, Midnight Cowboy. Just watched that recently. Not sure Thai prisons would be much better.
Belkin router, great product A+++++++++++++++++. Would buy from again!!!!!!!!!!1one!
The execs did as ordered by the politicians.

I read the FBI transcript and the line that caught me was
page 11.
I love the game, but give me a break, no one can prove that what happened caused Valve monetary loss.

Also meant to add, I don't see why you couldn't 'skin' this yourself. Kinda seems like half the point.
Ah, now that makes much more sense.

Seems cut and dry to me. Unless your kid is crafty enough to bypass your preventative measures, then the point is moot.
