I believe they were biased in their decision-making. They, for whatever reason, believed that Sandusky was creepy but not a child molester. No criminal psychologist would support this view of Sandusky, but I believe it is how the men at Penn St saw this case. If you don't think that people can use their biases to…

Jamie, this study is not evidence of anything. It is simply a study that is conducted to determine if more study is merited. Misreporting this kind of study has resulted in all kinds of absurd cancer fears(i.e. artificial sugar).

My point is that thinking someone has "a problem" and they might say "he needs professional help" is far different from knowing that he violates children in the most horrible way imaginable. We, as an audience reviewing the facts later, know that he was a horrible human being.

I love how the entire discussion about this case has turned into a "who remembers what" from several years ago. Let us be honest. Human memories suck, and current events are more likely to influence them than the actual past. Unless someone finds audiotape of these conversations from years ago, I seriously doubt…

Everyone is making a big deal out of nothing. No one was risking a major injury of any predictable significance from this action. Sure, Manning might have broken a leg like Bill Gramatica. Those are unpredictable injuries that might just as easily be caused by tripping on your own feet. They were just hoping that…

"and possibly"? Can we at least admit that initiative factors somewhat into it. The guy who sits on his couch playing CoD is probably less likely to "strike it rich" than the guy out selling an idea/product/company/himself.

You remember correctly

This is very similar to when Texas Tech beat Texas a few years ago(with that amazing Crabtree catch) and Lubbock rushed the field multiple times. I understand the first call, but it seems that the refs just get angry after that and call everything.

They did mobile advertising BEFORE they purchased AdMob. As long as people we accessing google search from a cellphone, they were doing mobile advertising.

I just don't see this as a betrayal. They created a product to further their brand. It was a product that fit the direction of their brand(mobile advertising) and concreted their position in it. Apple had given them access to their device(maps, etc), but there was nothing to guarantee that Google would be the…

Southern Tier isn't bad either

Go to Ommegang. Best of the 3, and very close to you. I say that, but you have to drink at Southampton if you are ever out on Long Island. They have some beers that you cannot get anywhere else that are phenomenal.

Fair enough. New Yorkers also don't have enough good breweries. Ommegang, Brooklyn, and Southampton.

Yeah, but you would have to get a growler from each place. What if I want a growler of Stone one night and a growler of Lost Abbey the next. I am screwed.

I think it has been discussed before that the "strain" isn't really reduced. I do agree about contrast and low pixel density. Then again, I think their goal was to aim for the same quality found in low-quality printing(like a newspaper). The contrast and pixel quality are similar. Most people also don't care that…

It is impossible.

Jesus, I have to disagree. Let me use some patent analogy with automobile engines.

I think I first heard about this from Nassim Taleb. I am going to stick with a new trend in responding to lifehacker articles and actually mention a book that discusses this topic(or is tangentially informative).

Text messages cost so much because carriers price them differently. They do the same thing with voice. Even though most of your voice calls are sent as digital data, they are priced as a totally separate entity. Why? Because carriers absolutely do not want to turn into a utility.

Why do you care about adding an extra gene? We add extra genes all the time. This is the entire point of 'domesticating' crops.
