Lies, Damned Lies and Cat Statistics 175

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday August 18, 2010 @06:53PM from the nine-lies dept.

spopepro writes "While un-captioned cats might be of limited interest to the /. community, I found this column on how a fabricated statistic takes on a life of its own interesting. Starting with the Humane Society of the United States' (HSUS) claim that the unsterilized offspring of a cat will '...result in 420,000 cats in 5 years,' the author looks at other erroneous numbers, where they came from and why they won't go away."

Bungie Signs 10-Year Deal With Activision 85

Posted by Soulskill on Friday April 30, 2010 @03:28AM from the make-sure-you-write-your-name-on-your-lunch dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Infinity Ward may be suing Activision under allegations of low payment and no royalties, but it seems some developers are still happy to work with the publisher — it has just signed a 10-year deal with Bungie, the studio behind the popular Halo series of FPS games. Activision will publish all of Bungie's games in the next decade — although Bungie will own the IP. The terms of the deal are similar to those brokered by former Infinity Ward chiefs Jason West and Vince Zampella when they signed with EA after being fired in March."

Sadly, the two Senators would be Barney Frank and Larry Craig.

Exactly. If I didn't have a use for Windows, I wouldn't have a use for Linux either.

Great, this is finally what I have been looking for. I can finally put all those pr0n pictures I have to good use. I will take the best parts from all those pictures and piece them together into the ultimate woman (who will most likely look like Jennifer Love Hewitt). Then I will wear a bra on my head and press print. Wah-la I will have my very own woman. Oh how my life will change.

Here is to hoping that the consumables aren't that expensive. I might just print me a harem.
