RIAA's Cary Sherman recently declared that song downloads are experiencing "logarithmic growth" (http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-10127454-93.html?tag=txt) but anyone with a basic knowledge of logarithms knows that a logarithmic curve experiences a steady decline until it stabilizes a growth near zero towards the infinity end of the X-axis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm)."

This is not the first time they've done so, and the wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_nukem_forever) gives a detailed timeline of the game's development and media releases. Now, the real question is... have they simply given up on REALLY making the game and kept the "when it's ready" release promise as a slick form of VIRAL MARKETING? You can get the latest screenshots at http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/54940"
