MS licenses some of the tech behind the Kinect from a small company called GestureTek, who started doing camera/computer interaction stuff back in the 80s. They had a system called Mandala that worked with Amigas in the 90s.
You're forgetting that the situation here in Canada is even worse, since Shaw, Bell & Rogers also own the TV stations producing the content. No conflict of interest there, no siree....
Seriously? We have 10 Provinces and 3 Territories, each with their own sales tax codes (AB has no Provincial sales tax for example). That's about as dumb as saying "In America, there is no sales tax." (for all values where America = New Hampshire).
Natural medicine practitioners have a very high woo-woo to fact ratio, which is why double-blind tests are needed in the first place. The stuff that works is medicine, no superfluous adjective needed.
Look at these people that are 350-400 pounds. Could you get to that weight if you tried? I doubt it. I know that if I put an effort into it, I MIGHT be able to reach 300 pounds. There is no way that I could reach 400, even with effort. Conversely, I could also never reach 150 lbs without resorting to amputation. There is simply a range that my body is genetically capable of achieving. The same applies to everyone else.
Not a pill, a transplant from a close family member, since their genetics will more closely match yours. Not much to dwell on, really; if it'll save your life, you do it.
I mean, Lego is reportedly the world's #1 tire manufacturer, just based on the number of tires it produces, but it's not exactly an automotive powerhouse.
Maybe, all I know is that they're the only ones making Ferraris I can afford! (or were)
It does make me curious as to how big the rag and fuel line are. Also makes a great juxtaposition with the story immediately below on the home page, The Challenges Of Building A Mars Base!
Just remove the airbags and install real seat belts. (note both of these are illegal. As for installing good seatbelts, you must keep the old, DOT approved, ones intact to remain legal.) Air bags, are part of 'passive restaints' that, despite what is advertised, is made for dopes that don't use seat belts. DOT approved seat belts are designed for comfort, not protect. They are much too narrow for the speeds and energies that you could see at highway speeds.
You are wrong. Seat belts PLUS air bags are better than just seat belts alone.
It's not a technology problem. It's a cultural problem.
QFT. I think that's the more pressing part of the problem. My last job moved everyone away from desktops to laptops so that we could have flexible hours/work from home when needed. There was also some "on call" idea that never went beyond a fantasy in our director's fevered imagination.
In reality, I had to lug this stupid thing back and forth on transit every day and on very rare occasions had to do before or after hours work. A downloadable VPN/Citrix client for my home machine would have been far better for what we used the damn things for. It also ensured that I had a laughably underpowered machine at the office every damn day:P
They're not "shutting them off" completely, that would be stupid. They're just not routing emails to Blackberrys outside normal working hours. Makes sense to me. Hell, this way it leaves the phone part working in case of actual emergencies.
Seriously, just stop checking your work email device. Or shut it off. If you're not on-call or senior management, as TFA says, you're not in your working hours and should just ignore the damn thing.
Yeah! Just like when those millions of desktop PCs came out in the 70s, man those were such a fad! I couldn't wait for it to die out so we could all go back to dumb terminals and a mainframe.

Your signature is highly appropriate!

"Here?" Where's that, the internet?
Against whose standards of ethics?

Probably PSI. Women in high heel shoes have incredibly high PSI centred on the heel, even if they don't weigh much :)
$3200/wk gross puts you at ca. $166k/yr.
That's not what he said. He said paycheck, which is every 2 weeks.
$3200 x 24 = $76,800.
"In Canada."

2 cookies is 1 too many, now he has diabetes.

Not with attitude.

Microwave cookery!
How do they get away with it? They're in charge, they make the rules.

Think small fusion plant in a diamond mine!

The article is poorly thought out, as it is based on a false dichotomy
Oh, so a typical Scott Adams blog post.

Royal was also the first one to allow >4 digit PINs for ATMs.
