There was also a huge lawsuit under way in a town where a cell tower had just been installed. A large percentage of the population complained about headaches, etc (VERY similar to your so-called evidence in Ontario). During the trial, a representative from the cell phone company simply stated that the tower hadn't even been turned on yet and the judge dismissed the case.
There was another case where a cell tower was installed (and turned on) and after a stream of complaints about headaches/etc (once again, VERY similar to your story), they actually made the company move the tower elsewhere and the complaints stopped. Someone then did a study and found that the new location (due to a large metal structure behind it) actually focused MORE em radiation on the residence than the tower had in the original location.
I consider accelerometer events (drop, whack, hit, turn, rotate, flip, shake, bounce, etc) analogous to keyboard shortcuts. Now excuse me while I patent using Alt+B to launch my browser, I mean I haven't seen any computers yet that do it, so it CAN'T be obvious, thus it must be a valid patent!
You are probably thinking of the Castle Doctrine which has never been in effect in Canada. Ian Thomson was not allowed to even point a gun at people fire-bombing his house in Ontario. Brian Knight was given community service for *injuring* a thief with bird shot. And just for some perspective on traps, even the Supreme Court of Iowa in the US ruled that Edward Briney be charged for setting a trap in his home that caught an actual thief.
Why in the world would bandwidth need to "scale"? It's either fast enough for the highest required bit-rate or it isn't, slowing it down for lower amounts of traffic is pointless.
Before calling someone an "Android fanboy", perhaps you should check if they even OWN an Android device. FYI, I use an n900 and I'm no fanboy, it just does what I need it to do, unlike the other phones out there.
Actually, anything that computes is a computer. This includes micro-controllers, the old vacuum-tube computers, even analogue computers. Technically an accurate solar mobile can be considered an analogue computer because it computes the location of planets in the past, present and future.
But without patents, would the wright brothers have even bothered to invent the airfoil? And if not, how long would it have been until someone else came up with it?
Patents ARE useful, but they need to be appropriately limited.
If I were constantly being harassed and raided by the police, I'd simply cut a 6'x6' hole in my floor just inside the front door and staple a rug across it. Start using the garage door and keep it closed from the inside. Next time they entered without knocking they'd end up in my basement.
1) How do you plan to get in if it's closed from the inside?
2) In Canada, setting "traps", even in your own home, is a crime in and of itself. This is to protect fire/ambulance as well as police officers that may need to enter, sometimes to save YOUR sorry ass. Does the US not have an equivalent to this law?
Right, so now I'm carrying what 3 adapters as well as my normal usb cable and wall charger. There's a few reasons why Apple has yet to see a penny out of me, and this is DEFINITELY one of them!
How can a message be protected (so only then sender/receiver can read them) and anonymous at the same time? The only way you could do that would be to generate a public/private key for each message, then search by public key, and that would be ridiculous.
For a while Telus (landline, phone & internet company) was giving away "free computers" to people that signed up for a certain level of internet access. As far as I know it wasn't THAT popular, but I do know at least 1 person (completely non-technical user) that got the laptop offer.
Are you implying the wright brothers, who came up with a working airplane design after others had been trying for HUNDREDS of years, were patent trolling?!?
Not 1 person was ever able to provide any evidence that there was anything wrong with the cars. In the only report I ever saw that listed incidents, a large percentage of the drivers (the report only had about 10 incidents) were elderly, so there's a good chance it was driver error.

AC probably only counted a-z (26 characters is fairly close to 32 which is 5 bits).

Double-blind study or STFU.
In that case, the surrounding water will also be WARMING the ice/new-water and balance out. Try again.
Does your shirt actually show up in your drivers' license photo, or does the camera do some kind of "auto-crop"?
banning things like smoking just about anywhere in public
As a non-smoker, I wish we had such laws here. I'm sick and tired of gagging on your burning tar sticks every time I walk through a damned park!
I feel sorry for the person that has to count those checks.

Bullock. If you have 100MB to transfer, you are going to use MORE power transferring for 160 seconds at 5Mb/s than for 80 seconds at 10Mb/s
Missed the word "theft" in your "way-too-many-words" /-collage.

The recent version of firefox has this on by default. Should every Firefox user be forced to return their computer now?

Why would the Oculus Rift need this type of low power consumption? They do know it gets "plugged in" right?
Yes, but not down "his" pants.
Allow "bbci.co.uk" and "bbcimg.co.uk" in no-script.
They can also smother them in their sleep.
