It seems very improbable for Sony a company who has lots of money problems would not promote an album so it would lose even more money over this.

Exactly how did you expect the EM to prevented this? Seriously?

But in the situation it wasn’t the EM, it was the city of Flint. The City Council and Mayor voted to switch from Detroit water. The EM had the power to overrule them and “ suspend democracy” but he didn’t.

The city of Flint decided to change the water NOT the state. The City Council voted 7-1 and Mayor to switch from Detroit to KVA. The day before it went in affect, Detroit water in the middle of being investigated by UN for their water practices in Detroit sent in a new proposal, but by that time it was too late and…

Umm... you do of course realize that the City Council of Flint voted 7 to 1 and the Mayor also voted to switch from Detroit water to KVA water don’t you? The emergency manager could have override that decision but did not. If the EM had forced Flint to stay on Detroit water than he would have overridden Democracy but…

Sorry but from your own link, it states how a female staanding in line playing candy crush on her phone is counted in that study as a “gamer”. Does any reasonable person think that is an appropriate definition of a gamer or even someone who would intentionally sit down and watch a video game award show?

Looks at Switzerland, sees that pretty much every house has a gun in it (and required by law to)... Monopoly ehhhh?

That’s probably the exact reason it was shoddy. They looked at the consoles and said “XB1 and PS4 are almost the same as a PC, we won’t have to do much at all to port; cut the PC porting money to basically nothing because we won’t need it”. The fact that they outsourced it and gave weeks rather than months for the…

Sorry that’s trademark, if you don’t defend your trademark you can lose the ability to legally restrict it’s use by others if it turns into general use.

If only that story was true:

No TCP/IP (ie Internet) doesn't work that way. Your MAC address is not exposed past your physical network segment, it is not visible to Microsoft it's stripped out way before then.

Actually for the truth I'd say use the insurance companies as a way to calculate the "truth", as they calculate everything down to the micro level in supercomputers. And they have consistently mathematically proven that young drivers are the worst liabilities to them, and their rates reflect that.

We throw money at the dept of education like no other country. We spend more on education per student than, France, Germany, UK, Japan, etc Only Austria, Luxembourg, Norway, and Switzerland spend more per student than the US does (we also pay our teachers more than most). The education system is awash with cash,…

Actually there are lots of laws about doing just that. A patent protects an idea that is publicly known, where as trade secrets, etc protect information not publicly known. Carmack signed a letter promising to not disclose that information to others, so even if it's not patented he cannot legally reuse it somewhere…

There is some debate as to whether they fly in the air because of Bernouli's principle of lift or Newtonian physics. The general agreement is they both are part of it but nobody's really nailed down the exact detail.

"For instance if a group of Frenchmen blew up a Canadian Bridge, my guess is that Canada wouldn't declare war on France"

Assume every asshole driver who has cut you off, texting, swerving through traffic, with maintenance so bad they have parts falling off as they drive, but their car now is flying. Sorry cars and planes should not mix... dear god cars and planes should not mix.

There have been 427 field goal attempts this year (370 made & 57 missed). Your 324 value is completely impossible this season.

No I'd say they are comparable it's just that people are willing to accept one prejudice vs the other, because they think they are better now. Having a niece married to a Native American, I will never claim they don't deal with racism or have massive, massive problems. I just find it so extremely hypocritical to…

This brings an interesting question though... we seem to have no problem about other group images from the same time period: i.e. the Irish. Where is the gawker article about how we need to replace the Irish caricatures from been around since the early 20th century. They originated from the same type of situation,…
