Oh, and don't forget that our Dear Leader has decided to "reform" our media ownership laws, dissolving any requirement to have competing viewpoints. But it's okay, Senator Coonan has denied that any of the recent manouevering by media moguls has anything to do with the new media laws. They just happened to prepare for massive take-overs and the conglomeration of the market by co-incidence.
So you mean defeating luggage checks is as simple as sending a hundred camouflaged bags through and one bomb in plain colours? And maybe drugs in one of the camo bags to keep the scanners happy.
Interesting. I took anti-depressants for about 18 months and while I found it wonderful for taking the edge off the mood-swings, I found the greyness of everything almost more depressing. Something that took off the edge without splattering every other emotion would have been nice.
But then, depression and anti-depressants affect everyone differently. Cancer gets classified, quantified, defined and then treated in a specific way in response, but depression covers a whole analogue mess of undefinable and unpredictable symptoms.
No, if anyone can defeat Macrovision protection v1, it means they can now develop and sell v2 to the ??AA, while simultaneously decrying the evil hacker pirate ninjas who are trying to harm the artists. Just because they're not on the consumer's side doesn't mean they're on the corporations' side.
The sad thing is that with proper building design, it's possible to make life much better for people with severe dementia. Many people react like your father-in-law because they don't understand why they're not allowed to leave. Another nursing home run by the same organisation I work for was built a few years ago with a specific dementia ward, and apparently it's much better for the residents.
By most places where there have to be closed doors, they've eliminated much of the points for someone to focus on. The ward is designed as a circle with a garden breaking the ring, and the only entrance/exit is from the garden. Most people with severe dementia will wander in circles, getting distracted by the garden or other points.
If you google for it there's actually been a lot of research done over the last fifteen years into caring for people with dementia, but that takes a while to filter into actual nursing homes. We're knocking our facility down and rebuilding sometime in the next five years, hopefully with some better design principles for the people we're handling.
If this drug is found to actually work, and proceeds to be available for general use within the next five years, it would be a major reversal of the trends we're seeing at the moment. I work in a nursing home designed and built in the 70's, when nursing homes tended to be the place you stayed briefly before dying. Now with our medical advances, together with the high level of day to day care, individually tailored diets etc, we're dealing with people who are living longer. This means we're now running into problems with alzheimers, excarberated by the cocktail of drugs administered.
Effectively we're now running into trouble trying to keep people with high level dementia in unsuited facillities. The possibility of an effective treatment for alzheimers makes me wonder if we might be going to move back to the older situation, with lives limited by health again.

Regardless, if the question is one of prior art, then rockbox seems a pretty clear example. No doubt apple will get the patent and then push for legislation requiring all other companies to license it as part of equal rights for disabled people regardless.
I'm sorry, can you provide a reference to the that supports your claim that the housemates are "facing charges"? The article you referenced itself states "Police said they would lay no charges over the incident". It was a practical joke taken too far, and hardly approaches the usual content of L&O: SVU or the standard soap operas. This is about our conservative government needing an issue to maintain support while it pushes through a raft of unpopular laws.
Image is a minor concern, chances are if you get flagged once then you're marked 'suspicious' somewhere. Doesn't matter to the police if it's true or not, because they can then go to the media saying "We have 500 more suspicious people! Give us more money so we can make sure your children are safe!". And then you're permanently watched.
Does that mean that GNU Radio can be used to bypass HDMI when receiving HDTV signals by never touching HDMI compliant hardware? And if so, how long until it's shut down entirely?
In South Australia atm, we have recurring problems with blackouts in summer simply due to more and more people running air-conditioners, sounds like a similar problem and potential solution.
But then, simpler heat-storage systems would probably be more effective in our case.
Hard to know, given we are still finding more deposits whenever we look, whether they are all there are. In fact, here in South Australia (with most of the uranium deposits of the worlds second largest uranium producer, the industry is growing rapidly. The major reason no-one knows how much uranium we have so far has simply been that until recently uranium exploration has been politically unpopular.
(Irony: The australian government intended to create a dump site for low level waste, and had agreed with WMC (now owned by BHP) to establish a low level site at their roxby downs mine, once a site could be found where there was insufficent uranium to be cost-effective to mine for. The only problem; two years later they still have not found the edges of the deposit.)
Well, hate might be the wrong word, but the USA has a consistently poor image across most of the mainstream population in western countries, as well as the extremists. You can argue about the reason, but professional surveys return a fairly consistent result; America is untrusted at best. Perhaps if there were fewer arrogant individuals such as yourself who believe in the undying glory of your country this would be different?
We offer our sincerest thanks for working with us to prevent violent global domination of the many by a few.
Now, for the love of god, will you please go back to isolationism? If you haven't noticed, there is not actually a world war happening any more. Stop acting like the global policeman, America is looking more like a country attempting (violent and otherwise) global domination each day.

"the images were seen only by adult subscribers who had paid to see a feed of the activities in the Big Brother house."

So he's identical to a regular nursing home patient then?
Damnit, could people stop exploiting the meta-humor bug in the moderation system? Or at least give me a +5 funny regardless?

It has the pattern of a joke, so mods just assumed they'd missed it. Call it a collective inferiority complex, better than opposite.
