A simple long skirt or coat would also do a good job of keeping your gait out of your shadow.
I am thinking there is more to this gait analaysis than watching the shadow of your legs. Think of your whole body and how it moves. Think about your arm movements, your head movement and your greater body movement, things that don't change easily with bulky clothes. Does your send you slightly side to side, do you keep one foot on front of the other...there are a lot of factors in this and I imagine the very smart people who came up with this already thought about the very things Slashdotters are suggesting here.
In the Directi response, "# The report claims that âoe48 ICANN-accredited Registrars (affiliated with Directi) ⦠do not seem to exist and are phantom.â This statement is factually incorrect, and was completely unverified by Knujon. Knujon did not even bother to contact ICANN in this regards to get the right facts. The truth of the matter is that all 48 companies which belong to Directi and its clients, are in existence and are duly incorporated and validly existing under law."
IANAL, but I don't think phantom corporations are illegal in the USA. There seems to be plenty of corporations that exist only as a name on a piece of paper. So, yes, given this, they are right in saying that they validly exist. That does not address the fact that the companies may in fact be phantoms and appear to be a rather inappropriate way of doing business.
It could be that a lot of people are still healthy enough to continue working after age 65... and some people actually want to!
This reason gets my vote. Boredom is a sure way to the grave, as well. I know people who are retired from TWO different jobs, and they still enjoy working. Granted, it isn't full-time, but once you get used to living a certain way, hold habits die hard.
Your comment begins with such a sweeping uninformed statement that any further point you make has lost all credibility.
Which is a nice way of saying your statement is utter nonsense.
Of course you would respond in that manner, why concede that your initial statement was also a sweeping generalization when you can stick to your guns, even when possibly wrong? Note that I did say it was 'not always perfect', which grammatically leaves open the possibility that sometimes, it is. Even statistically, there is a small chance of that perfection. Improbably, but not impossible.
And for the record, I did in fact have college text books written by the professors that taught the class, that ended up not using the very book they required.
Given the limits of our technology to detect extrasolar planets, how are "they" able to make this conclusion, especially when it is based on simulation? We are able to detect Jupiter-sized planets right now, yes? How about we wait for some better technology that can detect Earth-sized planets more accurately before we go rushing to the idea that we are "special". While the that idea intrigues me, it would certainly make the galaxy a more boring place.
"Textbooks have one major advantage over web pages. They have been through an editorial process."
And that editorial process is not always perfect and can itself introduce flaws based on current-day fads, political correctness and hidden agendas. AND, many of those text books are simply meant to prop up the additional incomes of the people who wrote them FOR THEIR OWN CLASS. I had many text books in college that weren't even used, but the professor "required", that he had conveniently written.
So, no, I believe your faith in professional publications is hopelessly optimistic at best, and naive at its worst.
Anything a company can do that shows they aren't just a replaceable grunt leads to better morale. A good company will make great efforts to express their gratitude to the employees for being there and making the company what is has become. More often than not, though, you have companies who treat their employees as thin mints. Use them for a while, then spit them out, because, "you can always be replaced." Picnics, luncheons, gift cards, on-line game tournaments...if this is what it takes to encourage more productivity, then do it! Productive workers make a company more money.
I race go-karts. Honestly, they would be the last platform I would want to test a huge fuel-cell system on. I would think something that could provide a safety cage, maybe, and a more resilient chassis.
Don't get me wrong, racing karts are lot of fun. There are few things in life as exciting as going 75 MPH 1 inch off the ground into a 90 degree turn. If they wanted to say, "Like Formula 1", maybe they should have gotten some old F1 chassis that can be found for cheap used.
is this seen as a scandal the world over, or just in America?
This is a world-level scandal. Look at the awards the illegal gymnasts have won, think of the other competitors who followed the rules and finished one place out of medal contention. China is making a mockery of was once a good thing. Does China even know how much of a fool they look to the rest of the world with their stance on human rights, privacy and now even this, cheating at the very olympic games that are supposed to be showing how superior they are? If anything, China is proving just how corrupt their whole system of government has become. People's Republic my arse. As if the people have a say anymore.
This would seem a lot neater, if not more worth while, if it had a dock option. I just look at what HP did with the 1100 tablet and it's dock and think that they had the right idea with some slight short comings. Something in the same vein could have been done with this.
...an actual TV to plug the antenna into. A nice little HDTV LCD with built-in and stronger tuner. For the one week I was without my precious DirecTV, I went to Wal-Mart and paid $30 for a simple powered antenna. It looked like a pair of rabbit ears, but it with an AC adapter and a knob for adjusting the gain. I plugged it into my Vizio, set to OTA and pressed auto-find.
I live in between Cinci and Dayton, and I was able to pull in ALL of those stations, plus the HD channels. In all, I had nearly 30 channels accessible to me. It lacked all of my lovely sports channels, of course, so no though of canceling my DirecTV, but it brought sanity back to the house so my 3-yr old could watch PBS Kids.
How dare they attempt to make more money by attempting to appeal to a different segment of the market! Just because all of the games released up to the now have been family-friendly, does not mean that there were NEVER any plans to release any other type. That sort of thinking will limit your income possibilities.
"US Broadband Won't Catch Up With Japan's For 101 Years "
And? Honestly, why should I care? In Japan, the government is intimately involved with the affairs of the businesses and that has a tendency to remove barriers. In America, we don't want our government sticking its nose in corporate business (anymore than it already is). As result, expansion happens in the profitable markets. The loss-markets may or may not ever see the service.
That is the up and down side to a capitalist economy. I prefer it this way. There are many aspects of Japanese culture I would rather not imitate, and this just one of them.
I stopped caring about the Olympics when Curling made the cut for official status. Just how many obscure sports can we add to an already overly-burdened event.
Given the huge price difference between an upsizing DVD/VHS player and a Blu-Ray player, and the higher cost of the movies on Blu-Ray...I am not surprised. My movies on DVD look just fine to me (upsized to my HDTV, no less). My surround sound didn't stop working with the invention of Blu-Ray, so they all sound just as great as 2 years ago.
the number of crew members aboard the ISS was limited by the size of the escape vehicle.
As did I. To wit, I figured they could just attached a second escape vehicle? But, aside from having to escape, the current system is limited in how much waste it can process, so limiting the number of active crew.
I gave up dual booting for a virtualized environment. All of the OSes are running at one time at all times now. It saves time when switching back and forth.
You know, I've always had the sneaky suspicion that MIT would be the downfall of our society. Young enginneers with too much time on their hands. We can solve this future crisis by getting them each a girlfriend.
Right, because broadening the appeal of a hobby makes it a "lost art". Much better if you have to take a test before you're allowed to do a hobby. That will keep the "art" from being "lost".
I have no problem with RTF. I like RTF and it is the way I started with model RC. There is more, though, that if you stick with RTF, you will never see. When you build your own plane or heli, it is an art. That art is being lost, yes, due to pre-built RTF. So while one aspect of model RC is growing (flyers), another aspect is decreasing (builders). Building your own plane will entail more cost in the end, than buying something mass produced in a Chinese factory -- which is where the RTF industry right now to keep prices low.
But, being able to print your own parts seems like a good middle ground between buying a laser-cut balsa kit and RTF. You just buy the model file and away you go. Producing model plans is far easier than contracting out laser-cut balsa or plastic molding.

We used a SuperKart chasis. Our pilot says that it drives like a normal kart, with better acceleration. In a 300 kilos beast.
He had real fun driving. Electric motors torque is real good for racing.
Did you go direct drive from the motor? Or chain? Dry or wet clutch? I don't remember seeing a mention of a tranny...was it a shifter?
I race go-karts. Honestly, they would be the last platform I would want to test a huge fuel-cell system on. I would think something that could provide a safety cage, maybe, and a more resilient chassis.

That outcome is very much exaggerated, apparently to try to get more attention. Any such result would depend on other huge advancements not yet made.
You must be new to the business of grants and how to get them.

...A dead enemy isn't a very effective manipulative tool; or at least, not as effective as a living one.
Read up on how the Allies in WW2 used a dead body to mislead the Nazis into the invasion location. That dead body helped us win a war.
Right, because broadening the appeal of a hobby makes it a "lost art". Much better if you have to take a test before you're allowed to do a hobby. That will keep the "art" from being "lost".
