Yeah but that is because the 3rd why is a what

uh-oh, take the sentence whatever way suits you most ;-)

A problem I think Kinect is struggling with is standardized control conventions.
On gamepads, navigating menus by moving the thumbstick in the direction of the item you want to select is intuitive and a standard way of how basically all games (I should say UI's) work. It's also a standard convention to have the A button select or accept things and have the B button go back to the previous screen or cancel actions. Does Kinect have such standardized control mechanisms?

Maybe I'm being a bit blunt here, but these women know they are selected on their looks, they know they are put in convention centers filled with a predominantly male audience, they know they are put there to garner attention by flaunting their female properties and yet they complain about being looked at in sexualized ways? Sorry, but that's like a prostitute complaining about people only wanting to have sex with her and never come by for a good talk over a bottle of expensive wine.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a big fan of the ladies waving their "accessories" left and right on the shows (like E3). It only helps to reinforce the stereotype image people have of games and gamers. I think the games and gadgets industry (and probably the cars industry, another big offender) is better off without these stereotype girls draped all over flat screens and hubcaps. Still, if these girls have a problem with the job they have, then they shouldn't do it.

I see the other reactions about how some of them may have no choice, but that's such self-victimization. Everyone has a choice, the only thing that's stopping these girls from getting a different, more appropriate job is their own lack of belief that they can. If you think the job sucks, sure, I can understand that, but don't enter a room filled with oversexed nerds wearing nothing but a bikini or figure hugging cat suit and expect them to judge you on your intelligence.

Couldn't the information the QR-code holds be encrypted with a private key?

Look sunshine, I live in the Netherlands in a town where my cable supplier hasn't even bothered making HBO available to me. So the only way for me to get the series is by pirating it.

His name is Chow? How apt.

Sounds beautiful, no really. But I live in the Netherlands and you have no idea how wrong you are. For the past 30 years (at least), the Netherlands has been "individualizing" at an alarming rate.

Too bad our (as in: the Dutch) judges don't take a hint. Yesterday a judge ruled that a bunch of additional Dutch telcos needed to block access to The Pirate Bay. A few months back that very same judge already ruled that two telcos (XS4ALL and Ziggo) needed to block access to TPB. Not that it matters, research by an independent company has indicated that usage of TPB by XS4ALL and Ziggo customers hasn't decreased the slightest bit.

The question is though, have they lost hundreds of dollars from you because P2P has been available, or because their own distribution methods are really, really expensive and inconvenient for you?

Oops, I think I just proved your point.
Should've read the title of your post first

Sure there is, but that's not what NASA is for. Besides, finding a new species of animal on Earth is not quite as much a revelation to humanity as finding life on another planet is.
