Dragon Age: Brokeback Elf

I wonder why Fox News never made an issue of this. They were so out there with the Mass Effect sex scene...

New Seinfeld Mini-Episode (on Curb Your Enthusiasm Finale)

It's nice to see that Larry recognizes that his only claim to fame is that he used to write Seinfeld, so openly

Oh, I kid, I kid. He just doesn't make me laugh.

The future of retail shopping

RFID has already been demonstrated as being extremely vulnerable to tampering and identity theft. Few sifted examples:

Other than that, the technology to superimpose clothing on photos (or videos) of people is already widely used in the flash game porn industry. I don't see this going too far.

KnivesOut

(Member Profile)

Please try to keep it civil, dude. If these discussions keep getting personal, somebody is going to get hobbled

In reply to this comment by KnivesOut:
Funny that you should mention knee-jerk reactions. Your comments are far more predictable than mine. All you've got is insults. Grow up a bit, k sonny?

I've noticed your comments and exchanges with KnivesOut today on two separate videos. You're free to express your opinion about any topic here, but please keep it civil and refrain from swearing and personal attacks, even if you feel he started it. We're not 6-year-olds here.

Once again, now that palin is out of politics (hopefully forever), the dumbest fuck in washington is joe biden.

Yes, my comments are predictable to ignorant socialists who get hard-ons over useless glenn beck videos. Why don't you hold that asshole in the white house accountable? Get off your knees.

And it was you who called me a "fuckwit" a while back, so you'd better expect a response.

Signing off...douchebag.

How Triple Blind Experiments are Done

>> ^longde:
I think this is a cool sift, but can someone explain why it is so popular.

This is the only way currently to make sure there is no human effect on the results. When done correctly, this method of testing, ensures no one can tamper with the outcome, be it a drug company executive, a doctor conducting the experiment, a patient receiving the drug and so on.

By giving all patient groups identical looking treatment, you remove any possibility that the patients might react differently, by having a control group receiving a placebo (and not knowing they're on a placebo) you can measure how much of the success of your treatment is caused by the placebo effect. If you see the group receiving the new drug is improving by the same amount as the control group, you know the new drug does nothing.

By keeping the examining doctors in the dark, you eliminate the possibility that they will treat patients differently, knowingly or unknowingly, either by accidentally letting them know they're on the placebo, by giving less attention to people on the placebo and so on. Results remain impartial. The same applies to the statisticians. Only after the results are final, everybody can finally find out who was on what drug, and what effect they had.

And finally, by allowing the process to be repeated multiple times by different companies and agencies (FDA etc), you make sure no drug company can manufacture a study result without being debunked later by someone else. Executives have no effect on the outcome, and everybody stays honest.
