Jan 2015. And I don't see any "fully" about it - these are still to be trials.

I also noticed that dwarves were no longer dwarves, but "normal height" humans shot at weird camera angles.
Exactly the same as in LotR, then - that is, if you count 6'1" John Rhys-Davies as "normal height."
Just a quick word before (too late) everyone starts debating the relative merits of The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, Peter Jackson's beard, etc.
Other people are allowed to have opinions that differ from yours and that's fine.
FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!
Crucifixion? Good...
Do you know it's that way round?
How very American of you.
How very presumptive of you.
out of the public domain
If you can see it from public property and tell what it is, it's (effectively) in the public domain, isn't it?
If it's supposed to be secret, and someone who shouldn't know where it is does, you've got a security leak.
I'd say Google's doing them a favour. If any of their secret installations turn up on it, you know it's time to shut them down or move them.
The laws that forbid you to abuse medications.
That's a tautology. Can you cite the laws or not?
The limits on their use are clearly labelled.
A label is not a law.
Have you just assumed that it's illegal to mis-use your own prescription meds?
Is it illegal to abuse legally obtained drugs?
Um.... Yeah, it is.
Taking it in any way that is contrary to the written prescription is illegal.
As another user asked above, can you cite the law that would be broken?
http://www.cdc.gov/homeandrecr...
The above page, for example, discusess "seven state legislative strategies that have potential to impact prescription drug misuse, abuse and overdose," but none of these are about what the patient may do with medication.
illegal drug use (including abuse of prescription painkillers)
Is it illegal to abuse legally obtained drugs?
Microsoft would reduce engineering in Beijing and San Diego and unwind engineering in Oulu, Finland.
I'd guess someone confused "unwind" with "wind-down," as in slow down (possibly to an eventual halt).
Then again, they might have meant "wind-up," as a business synonym for closing down/ceasing operations (with the implication that this is being done in a tidy manner, rather than abruptly being forced out of business).
Or perhaps they're winding-down before they wind-up.
I'm not winding you up here.
The device is like a spring, so it stores energy
So... a bit like a tendon?
as well as having extra length and mechanical advantage
Does it actually have a mechnical advantage?
and better still its far stronger and requires much more force to break.
Again, does it? Have you tried to break someone's leg, versus breaking their blade? Of course, one definite advantage is that if it does break, you just put on a new one, rather than spending months in rehabilitation.
But it's not like running with a blade doesn't have any disadvantages. Not having any ankle muscles is presumably one such.
adding extra length doesn't make any sense one one side only
I think they mean it's longer because it's got the usual curving blade shape. He still stands the same height on it.
One thing that keeps runners from "opting into" this prosthetic is that mainstream surgeons are forbidden to perform elective amputations.
I'd think that the main thing that keeps runners from "opting into" prosthetics is that most people don't want their fucking legs cut off.
I tell them to turn to the study of mathematics, for it is only there that they might escape the lusts of the flesh. -- Thomas Mann, "The Magic Mountain"
