Before you mod this guy down note that he isn't being a tool. He is just parsing the GP's comment using boolean logic, and is therefore correct.
Not necessarily. If the question were more along the lines of "Is this finally the crack in the dam we've all been waiting for to wash away the entrenched monopolies of 20th century music production or is it not the case that this is finally the crack in the dam we've all been waiting for to wash away the entrenched monopolies of 20th century music production?" then "Yes" would have been a true statement. However, since the question asks about two options which have not been proven to be mutually exclusive, "Yes" is not logically the one correct answer. He is actually taking some risk in stating that one of the two possibilities is true. Other possibilities present themselves, such as this band suddenly disappearing off the face of the planet and everybody forgetting about them. Not likely, but possible.
I'm not sure how you justify your claim of the title being misleading. Every word in the sentence is correct and factual. The sentence is more than the sum of its parts. Context must be also be considered.
If, for example, the headline were "Russian Head Seeks Arms" we could assume that:
The President of Russia is looking for weapons, or
Some floating head with Russian citizenship has grown tired of not being able to eat with a spoon.
Any technology that requires a specific tool to write code for it is way too complex.
You mean, like, 8086 machine code? Or, for that matter, VAX machine code, or even some CISC machine code? I wouldn't want to write that. I'm certainly thankful we have a tool that does that for us so we can work with the ideas at a higher level.
If diesel is so efficient, then why haven't we invented a diesel-powered Delorean yet? My guess is that if running on diesel power, the flux capacitor requires speeds in excess of 300 MPH. So soon enough, we'll be creating time paradoxes left and right! (Is "soon enough" a phrase that is applicable to time travel?)
The Wii controller isn't a sword, there's not that much weight extended several feet from your arm.
A well-balanced blade will have the fulcrum of the weight very close to where you are holding it (i.e. the hilt). Not that this reduces the weight, but it certainly doesn't have the same torque effect of having weight far out there ~1 foot from the end of your arm. Assuming: sum of torque = 0 when static, fulcrum at your hand, weight on either end of sword is equal, this creates no need to clamp your fingers together to keep the sword up, as would be the case if there were several feet of metal pulling down on one end, and nothing at all counter-balancing it, as you seem to think.
I'd say a wiimote and a sword are very similarily balanced, with a sword possibly weighing a few more pounds (but not very noticable, I should think, if the sword isn't comically heavy).
If you have never had a call last more than 5 minutes, why do you continue to pay for cell phone service?
I don't own a cell-phone so perhaps I'm in the minority in not understanding what exactly this is meant to say. Do you not need a service provider for short phonecalls? Are they free if they're short? Is there a particular carrier that provides only short calls, but for free?
I'd prefer Sony to work on this mystical PSP network
Is it really terribly difficult for you to believe that a multi-national corporation with offices on six of seven continents can't work on two things at a time?
Way to go, stereotyping a nation to look stupid. I think the title could've been less offensive if, perhaps, it said, "America kills Jesus!" Of course, that doesn't have much to do with the article, but you get my drift.
If they are being observed only through the light bouncing off of them through an optic telescope, then depending upon their distance, size, and seperation, it is entirely possible that they would be indistinguishable... however I imagine more than "swinging a telescope at a random point and looking" was involved in this. More, I would conjecture, than an optic telescope altogether.
Weeks? Try 25 years! They're still analyzing the original trilogy to this day! I suppose I should say "We" instead of "They"... yes, I'm one of... them!

I could go on, but I'm sure you see what I'm getting at.Seriously? I, for one, am building a gigantic EMP device right now... just in case.
Like Star Wars? The Matrix? Lord of the Rings?

Sorry, but obscure acronyms in posts talking about strange far-off things leads the mind to wonder what it really does stand for in this case?
If you've got Superman trying to steal your password, I think you've got bigger problems than an insecure password.
Yes, but the two events are mostly uncorrelated, an you could say that about every time you do anything.

I think that interstellar space is outside the jurisdiction of the Recording Industry Association of America.

The Blue-Ray format supports multiple codecs, the least of which is MPEG-2. It also supports MPEG-4, H.264/AVC, and VC-1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue-ray#Codecs
