hundreds of patents have been issued for lifters, they aren't difficult to make. read the comments of the article at the link you posted. do your research before making uninformed comments! http://jnaudin.free.fr/lifters/main.htm
the page also has instructions to make your own lifter. so its nothing new.
Since movies are rated for violence, why can't video games be? Movies don't have to make kids more violent to be controlled, but apparently games do. Same for sexual content, if you are going to put it in entertainment, expect it to be controlled.
Parents don't want to watch every movie beforehand to see if it is suitable for their child, same goes for games. Rating is perfectly acceptable way to do it.
For that matter, why don't people challenge movie ratings? The juries that rate movies are generally quite fair, can the game rating people not be fair?
I truly doubt that. Divx was a complete flop, and given the response to the/. article before, it seems very unlikely that anyone will attempt (even MS) to make a single use DVD.
A dietician is not a nutritionist. Watch who you do ask. Dieticians (at least in Canada) have to be licensed and regulated. Nutritionists do not have any legislation controlling them.
As the Dieticians.ca website says, "The title "Registered Dietitian", "Professional Dietitian", and "Dietitian" are protected by law...so that only qualified practitioners who have met education qualifications can use that title."
This site explains the differences in more detail. http://www.dietitians.ca/career/i1.htm
Most of the water you drink has passed through someone else at some point or another, its not like sewage is ejected into outer space or something. The ZENON HQ in Oakville, Ontario has a set amount of water. It is recycled continuously using their own technology.
It is tested at least 3 times a day (my sister worked there, it was a nuisance) and if at any point it fails, they bring in water on big trucks. This is rare, but not unheard of.
So if you go there and have a drink out of the tap, it has certainly been through more than 7 people!

Dunno about you, but I've never seen "steel" on my periodic table. Maybe I have the unpatched version...
this may be because we *are* the underdog, at least compared to the US.
