-- Featured Comments -- Don't be so sure. There are plenty of civil wars and millions dying of famine and HIV in Africa, yet the highest ranking topics, at least according to hits, are often the Britney Spears crotch shots and dogs doing stupid tricks in some backyard. The world still has an amazing capacity to ignore atrocities.@ Jonathan: My take on Thoma's comment is: spot on. That's why we call parents parental, why we call minors children. More

-- Featured Comments -- @carl After prohibition was implemented alcohol continued to be consumed. However, how much compared to pre-Prohibition levels remains unclear. Studies examining the rates of cirrhosis deaths as a proxy for alcohol consumption estimated a decrease in consumption of 10-20%.[4][5][6] One study reviewing city-level drunkenness arrests came to a similar result.[7] And, yet another study examining "mortality, mental health and More

-- Featured Comments -- MicroSoft has been irrelevant for years. Their .net strategy failed. The Windows server domination is shrinking thanks to Linux and PCs have been an archaic reminder of how bad they really are at developing new software and operating systems. Windows 7 and it's still a piece of garbage. Does Ballmer really think anyone besides him is excited that MS is working on a tablet operating system? They can only hope it pans out More

-- Featured Comments -- Ireland has a population of 4.5 million, about half the population of New York City or about the same as Kentucky or Louisiana. Expecting everyone there to only look for jobs within that tiny economy is like constraining yourself to just looking for jobs in Kentucky. Moving from Ireland to England is like moving from CT to NY, its really not that drastic of a move. Even the son in Germany lives closer to home than I do in More

-- Featured Comments -- > It's a fact that correlation does not imply causation. True > It's a fact that I can show a correlation between > ice cream consumption and polio or West Nile. What was the data source? What statistical test was run? What is the correlation coefficient? If you can't show me these and/or show me the work in peer-reviewed literature, then I'm calling BS. > You imply an either/or that is not supported by the facts More

-- Featured Comments -- The article failed to mention an important point - i.e., how the art of Lean (a 1940s methodology) is being improved with the addition of science from the Six Sigma DMAIC modern method: Lean Six Sigma. Lean is for speed and eliminates waste. Six Sigma is for quality and eliminates defects and variation. Modern organizations understand that Lean alone is inadequate, and many successful companies now use Lean Six Sigma methodology. More

-- Featured Comments -- Then why do you lower yourself James Meyers to read the National Enquirer of the Business World? We know you are the smartest man in the world, well next to The One. Maybe you should just stick with the real National Enquirer. Based on your nonsense comment, you would be a lot more comfortable with the National Enquirer (my apologies to the National Enquirer) p.s. Actually my husband is involved with chemicals destruction More

-- Featured Comments -- Mr. Bickford, Sir there are many examples of "anomalies of archealogy" (In fact Archealogy is a Bachelor of Arts degree ..it is not a science) ..In 1884 anthropologist Armand de Quatrefages wrote: 'The objections made to the existence of man in the Pliocene and Miocene seem to habitually be more related to theoretical considerations than direct observation. In fact there are stone structures that exist today whose engineering More

-- Featured Comments -- Who cares what Pakistanis think.They are a treacherous lot that have been bed with the terrorists for the last 20 years. Terrorism has been the state policy of Pakistan. Pakistan as a country sanctions terrorism as state policy. Zia ul haq fostered terrorism as a state policy to combat India which is ten times powerful in conventional weapons. But terrorism cannot be a state policy of any responsible country with a moral More
