Subsequent analysis of the rating scales showed that drivers of cabs with ABS made sharper turns in curves, were less accurate in their lane-holding behaviour, proceeded at a shorter forward sight distance, made more poorly adjusted merging manoeuvres and created more "traffic conflicts". This is a technical term for a situation in which one or more traffic participants have to take swift action to avoid a collision with another road user.[3] Finally, as compared with the non-ABS cabs, the ABS cabs were driven faster at one of the four measuring points along the route. All these differences were significant.

Quite a while back, a local theater had "lifetime passes". They were quite up front about it--the lifetime was defined as until 1996, when their lease was up. If they managed to get a new lease, you needed to get new passes. (Of course, they couldn't afford the rent increase on a new lease and went out of business, so it was a moot point.)
Couldn't you pretty much just replace the word "Wii" with the word "Windows" and have an equally valid article?
No.
Windows is an attack vector, but it's not being ignored. I suppose it depends on how large the company is, but where I'm at, we have staff whose job it is to keep up with the various security bulletins and make sure that they're being patched.
A gaming system, on the other hand, isn't going to have staff dedicated to keeping it safe.
It's okay, you've got a couple of hundred years before you need to worry about computers. Watch out for the Jacquard loom, that will be showing up in only 94 years.
Actually, Microsoft was the nerd who showed up at the party early and stood around by the drinks hoping somebody would pay attention to his witty banter about why the new Star Wars movies suck.

Notice that date? Six years ago. Microsoft has been trying (and failing) to push tablets for a while now.
...and lack of greenspace for kids to run around - suburban American life is...
Umm, isn't suburbia the place with all those lawns? There's a lot more (and bigger) backyards to run around in when you're out in the suburbs compared to the city. It's not the lack of space, it's the rampant paranoia that the precious darlings can't be left to their own. <getoffmylawn>When I was a kid, we'd disappear after school--we'd all meet at somebody's backyard and play without parental control. I could bike around the neighborhood on my own; wander up to the playground, maybe play a pickup game of kickball; even go to a local shop and spend my meager allowance.</getoffmylawn> It's today's fear culture that's keeping kids indoors.
this is an age old logical fallacy i'm sick of: "because grey areas exist, we can't say black isn't white"
Likewise, we can't say that "because there is black and white, we can't say something is grey." And, no matter how you slice it, a top-level domain is black and white. You can't have a web address that's 46%.com and 54%.xxx; you have to call it one way or the other. The problem is, no two groups will call all web sites the same. I might consider a site on preventing the spread of STDs to be non-porn, others would argue it is.
QWERTY was supposedly designed to slow down typists (though finding *definitive* references to that reasoning is tricky).
Because that's a myth. QWERTY was the fastest design that was come up with based on the limitations of the existing hardware of the time. The funny key layout? That's to spread apart the commonly-used hammers so they wouldn't jam on the typewriter.
On my corporate workstation, there's a small app called ErgoSuite running in the background to monitor activity. If you've been typing or mousing constantly for a while, it will notify you to take a break and suggest exercises. Since most of my work is done on my development workstation, I can't really evaluate how effective (or annoying) it ends up being during the workday.
Bicycles don't damage the road, either. "The relative damaging effect of an axle is considered to be approximately proportional to the fourth power of the load." If we assume 100 pounds per axel for a bicycle and 1,000 for a subcompact, then the bike is doing 0.01% of the damage of the car. Compared to a large SUV with 3,000 per axel, it's only doing 0.00012% of the damage. We won't even bother comparing to a fully loaded semi.
...Because iocaine comes from Australia, as everyone knows. And Australia is entirely peopled with criminals. And criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me...
while a trial in Germany found that heart attack rates in a group of people sitting in traffic -- in a car or bus, or riding a bicycle -- rose in the hour after they had been exposed to the exhaust fumes.
It's not just the exercise, or it wouldn't affect people in cars.
You mean like the New Horizons probe currently heading towards Pluto? It's a bit more expensive ($650 million for the lifetime of the program) than your goal. But that not too surprising. In a Space Review article from 2004, it discusses costing $5 million launch costs just to put a small payload in Earth orbit. Since we're talking about escaping Earth orbit, it's going to take a larger (and more expensive) launch vehicle. Ariane 5 launches are up around $100 million, while shuttle launches average out to $450.

Actually, humans are evolved for just that--persistence hunting is basically constantly running after an animal until it's too exhausted to get away.
The actual article is from CNN.
He's obviously thinking of LiberaceOffice.

They'll release it as soon as they figure out how to require it to use up an ink cartridge once a week.

Ha! Normally, you'd have gotten away with this, but it's just after the one time every four years that Americans actually pay attention to soccer.

Shouldn't it be $#!+ then?
