1: The word you want is "fewer", not "less". 2: "Fewer" is a relative term (as is "less"). You need to compare it to something, such as getting fewer votes than Boothead.
That's when the successors to Google glass not only deliver images to our eyes but also monitor them at the same time and record what we're looking at.
Looks like fun but 12km really isn't very far, especially if you want to ride it to your destination and back, in which case you can only go places up to 6km away.
Don't be ridiculous! 12K is enough for anyone!
Bill Gates insisted that 640K was enough for anyone and that decision life hard for everyone for years.
People likely to have an affair will do so with or without a website...
Your comment ignores the nature of temptation. These websites have a corrupting influence on those who are not likely to have an affair. They catch the idly curious and change "I wonder what it would be like?" to "That person is available to me." and tempt those who would not be inclined and push them to take action.
Nope, the correct figure of speech is "Free Ryan.": From Wikipedia: "In September 2013, the first book about the Ryan Ferguson case was released: Free Ryan Ferguson: 101 Reasons Why Ryan Ferguson Should Be Released, by Brian D'Ambrosio."
The people controlling the system use it for selling "follows," "likes," and so forth on social media sites like Twitter, Instagram, Vine, Facebook, and Google+.
being that many of them won't pass on their genes, nature will take care of it
The pertinent question is "Will nature breed it out before society collapses?" The burden of a generation of men who aren't fulfilling the role that society requires of them is probably too much to bear.
Expecting evolutionary processes to solve societal problems is similar to saying that global warming will be solved by the heat death of the universe.
Yes, politicians and voters imagine themselves to be Canute, without understanding the moral of the story.
Canute has received an undeserved bad reputation.
He went to the seaside and ordered the tide to stop coming in. It didn't stop. However, he wasn't illustrating foolish hubris. He was tired of people in his court coming and asking him to make proclamations that weren't going to work. He really was saying "Look I'm only human and my decrees can't accomplish the impossible."
I just checked around the Internet, and I couldn't find a single example of this maple leaf apostrophe in the Tim Hortons logo. Every example I saw had no apostrophe, no maple leaf, just plain old Tim Hortons. I'm not sure where you got your information from, but I've never seen this Tim Hortons sign you're referring to.
My bad, It's Wendy's that uses the maple leaf not Tim Hortons. I confused the two as a result of their wedding and then divorce.
You're right about about the cedilla, only half right about the acute accents. To the language police it's: Québecois.
With their language use laws the language police in Québec also include the QPP (Quebec Provincial Police).
Interesting factoid: Tim Hortons is Canada's most popular coffee/donut fast food restaurant. It doesn't have an apostrophe. In Québec, an apostrophe would make it English, which would make it illegal (or at least illegal if the name was displayed bigger than the French equivalent). On their signs, they use a maple leaf instead of an apostrophe. The eye sees the apostrophe instead. (I'd call it a trompe l'oeill, which would be àpropos if not entirely accurate)
That's a wonderful idea, let's sell our grandchildren's rights to use expressions that have been milked dry (by and large). The price is the right to clear cut the forests and destroy their environment.
Despite protestations to the contrary, and US Supreme Court legalism, copyright is now perpetual.
And why would that be wrong? Drawing parallels between copyrighted materials and real estate (since there are many similarities)
There are also significant differences. If I build a house on your property, you can't. If I make a new book based on ideas from "your" book, It doesn't stop anyone else from doing the same. You don't care, you've been dead for 50 years.
I'm all for the forth amendment and all, but having a camera pointed to the outside of his house is no different than having a cop sitting outside the house in a car.
Your Comment Subject is correct, but only if it's referring to your comment. There are huge differences. Six weeks of 24/7 undercover surveillance for a petty drug dealer. That would be the equivalence you're drawing.
And if patient "0" hadn't made it to our shores at all...these two people wouldn't now be ill and in jeopardy.
Actually patient "0" is reported to have been a two year old child in the town of Guéckédou in Guinea. Thomas Duncan's patient number was likely between 4,000 and 12,000.
If the international system had taken the issue seriously when Guinea announced 59 dead (March 22) instead of August, Thomas Duncan wouldn't have been a patient. Calling him patient "0" makes false assumptions about the Atlantic or Mediterranean, i.e., that they afford us some sort of protection rather than just delaying the inevitable.
My personal opinion is that this won't be an extermination event, but I don't expect to see civilization as we know it in 5 years. I hope the vaccine makers and distributers are successful and that my expectations are not met.
I'm just inordinately thrilled to be able to use the phrase correctly for once. Really grinds my gears when people say it instead of saying "forces me to ask the question" or something similar.
Where are my mod points when I need them? Somebody mod this parent up!

Getting less votes is not one of them either.
1: The word you want is "fewer", not "less".
2: "Fewer" is a relative term (as is "less"). You need to compare it to something, such as getting fewer votes than Boothead.
It's obvious you are a grammar Trumparian
No need to worry.
The NSA has it all backed up.
The problem then becomes restoring your backups.
I was looking at the 34 most embarrassing photos on the internet.
The link under #8 said a woman near where I live was earning $430/day online. The link under #19 said that a man nearby was earning $590/day.
Drop it in a bucket of water just to be sure.
and have a lot of time on our hands.

I don't quite follow you
can we get all of those rodents rounded up and sent to Washington D.C.?

Hmmm, enjoying the coffee grown from the coffee plantation across the street?
Non non non .. this is Quebec ... it's oui.
