My 5 year old cousin was diagnosed with Williams syndrome, and he will interact with complete strangers as if they are well known to him. Rick does have some cognitive deficiencies, for example he is currently unable to grasp the concept of addition, but knows all his numbers/alphabet various songs. He is able to recall relatively complex phrases/songs but is not able to make sense of them. I was not aware of this supposed lack of racial bias but Rick has no problem approaching people of any ethnicity, and seems to lack a concept of his identity as a brown person such as myself.
I'm not sure if this is a side effect of Williams syndrome or not but Rick has much better hearing than any of us in his family. If the phone rings and it is barely within earshot, Rick notices it. This is due to his fixation with things that beep, especially microwaves, phones and other electronics.
Fortunately Rick has been making major progress and is currently enrolled in kindergarten, but his short attention span means he requires an assistant to be with him at all times. I am suprised to see an article about Williams syndrome on slashdot but it's good that awareness of this disorder is being raised.
actually if you RTFA you would know that Google will not be testing any new youtube features to see if they are compatible with IE6. You will still be able to watch videos of a supermodel falling off the runway for example, just not with fancy new features.
I'm not sure what's used in these indicator strips but it's not litmus paper. FYI, the pH of water is 7, so it would have nothing to do with the color changing.
I successfully returned my water damaged phone to Bell by removing the water indicator sticker and replacing it with one I made myself using paper. It would have been very easy to detect but I got lucky I guess.
all that matters is CANADA WON ANOTHER GOLD today!
And we're gonna win the gold in both mens and womens hockey, cuz we all know that the winter olympix are just aa huge hockey tournament with a bunch of other sports going on...
And vancouver rocks, if you need any BC bud and managed to get out of your moms basement long enough to reach the best city in the world, look for the brown guy with fake dreadlocks by the art gallery.
I live in a brownfield. Please do not deport me. Thank you for your call sir and have a nice day.
Re:Piracy on the DS is ten times easier.

Piracy and the PSP
·
· Score: 1
I used to think the same thing, but i have a lot of little cousins, 6 of which have NDS lites. Initially their parents bought them original games, but when they found out about my R4 I ended up buying 6 of them. I bet a lot of NDS games sales come from ignorant parents buying games for their kids.
Contrast this with the PSP, most PSP users are older, and in my opinion at least are more likely to want to hack their PSP, because of the lower battery consumption, and not being forced to carry a bunch of UMDs around.
I love my NDS, rhythm heaven is a lot of fun, and I have 5 games that I don't mind playing whenever, which is more than I can say for PSP games.
i I can't say that I really know what you're talking about (I'm an english major), but it sounds like a good idea. What I would do was hop on wifi when i was close to the bandwidth limit, or sit in the library and get super fast download speeds with no limits. From talking to other people at UBC i heard that it's not easy to game the system, it was tied to your rooms IP/ethernet port I guess.
That's what my university does, we have a 6 gb/24 hour bandwidth limit (inter university data transfer excluded). It's updated every half hour, and if you go over your download speeds are seriously limited, to the point where even web browsing is noticeably slow. When you can download at 2MB/s it's needed, and I presume that you get similar download speeds with cable in the states. I wouldn't know, at home we have telus high speed enhanced which gets me about 300 kB/s down and 70 kB/s up, with a 60 gb/month bandwidth limit. Throttle the speeds of people who are using "too much" bandwidth, but by raising the prices in this economy, they are going to lose money in the long run. Good that ISP's are finally starting to listen to their customers!

Hey, we're not all terrorists, but please continue the racial profiling so our white comrades can continue to carry out their missions.

Phones in India are normally cheaper than here in Canada, but 49,990 rupees is 1138.21 CAD, you would have to be stupid to buy this phone.
Anybody know when it comes to Canada?

As an expat India Indian I hope this doesn't affect me..
I don't mind paypal because for 2 years they thought I was a verified seller with a legitimate visa, instead I had used a prepaid visa hehe
Technically an Indian, but born and raised in Vancouver. My french is better than my Punjabi or Hindi for example.

I guess my indian citizenship, excessive body hair, and profound scent will be revoked.
actually crore is one million, lakh is 100 000 :)
My people will not stand for this, there are over 1000 crore of us!
Seriously though, despite not RTFAing, I believe that googles bookscanning should be an opt in and not opt out process.
