The problem is that many fever reducers are also used for aches and pains associated with a muscle fatigue caused by exercise. When I'm really sore I'll have a couple Tylenol to ease the pains, I doubt I am not in the minority on this.

This is a huge pet peave of mine. The numbers given are incomplete, if we paint all the roofs white, after how long does it equal taking all cars of the roads for 11 years? 1 year of roofs painted white? 10 years? I mean, theoretically, if I paint just *my* roof white, it will be the equivalent of taking all the cars off all roads for 11 years with a million years payoff time or something. I'm sick and tired of these incomplete statistics. Yes, I skimmed TFA and saw nothing indicating payoff time. I see these kind of part of the information all the time with energy statistics, and while I agree that it will save energy it is impossible to judge real ROI without the timeframe for the return.

Agreed....mostly. While teachers can improve, either through observing other teachers, guidance, etc, the issue then becomes how many student's years of learning should be ruined for it?

If your child was in the class of a horrible teacher, would you keep them in it so the teacher could practice teaching with your child? Let them get through their learning process and hope that if/when your younger children have the same teacher that they have improved? Or would you take them out and put them in a class with a better teacher?

It isn't as simple as waiting for the system to vet out poor teachers, there are individuals that suffer from poor teaching. I wouldn't want my children set back a year while waiting for a teacher to figure out what they are doing.

"For a person that may be familiar with the movies and little else, it's a great game with an impressive amount of depth and attention to detail. For the mass of fanatical fans that have spent more time poring over every book Tolkien ever wrote than even Tolkien himself, any deviation from the lore of his world is paramount to sacrilege on the most horrific scale."

Seems to imply that there are few people that have watched the movies and little else while many more people read all of the books in a fanatical way. I would propose that first, many more people have seen the movies than have read the books. I would also propose that even among those that read the books, not a huge percentage cared much about the deviation from the books enough to matter. I didn't RTFA, but hopefully there are some better examples in it.

It definitely goes both ways on this. I can't even remember how many times I've seen shows pulling videos from the internet that a person uploaded and calling it news, or filler, or whatever. It is also not uncommon to see TV and newspapers printing and reading comments from blogs including some well researched and first hand information in them. Bloggers often blog on things they have witnessed or experienced, with what I would think is a smaller percentage of them commenting on things they have read.

This seems to be getting slammed pretty good in most of the comments, but I can see this as being very useful especially when purchasing tech items. Case in point, I have gone through several wireless routers, mostly because some of them really really suck, and some are fine. What am I to do when I don't know what is in stock locally and I want to know if the specific model I am getting is crap or worth buying? Go read reviews on Amazon, etc.

How do you know which of the 10 motherboards in stock at Fry's is a total piece of crap? Go home and read up on them? Sounds like a super way to spend time, going back and forth to read reviews when you need a computer up and running ASAP, but don't want a brick in a month.

While perhaps not a killer app, it would be something I would interested in. All assuming you can focus that close.
