Sorry, unless you are blasting your hands with water as fast as this air dryer how do you even suppose to pretend that your hands are being cleaned to such a degree that the air dryer will not pull off more bacteria/dirt/other microbes than hand-washing.. never mind that most people dont wash their hands very well to begin with or the possibility that the soap has run out from the dispenser.

Then I will challenge you on how you think water and soap will kill a virus or even kill 100% of microbes that are susceptible to soap destroying their cellular membrane.

The bottom line is that Dyson invented a good hand dryer which is also much more effective at sharing disease with your follow bathroom compatriots. Sneeze into the thing while its on and share your cold with everyone around you.

Still sounds like DRM when spoken with a japanese accent.

I have used an iPad and it is the fault of the iPad... crappy touchscreens. If he had a normal keyboard and a screen that he was no ocluding with his own fingers this would not have happened..

Of course I could be wrong since I am wildly guessing.

Yes there is quite a bit more cheap crap on youtube than on netflix. What is your point?

The price point does seem astronomical. I think price point reflects more the potential income loss for google per subscriber (from ad revenue) instead of a real market value for amateur video.

Maybe companies could try to make money selling goods or services instead of ramming ads down peoples throats.

I have long felt that as the end user that is forced to consume the advertisement content we should be getting paid for the time and brainpower needed to do so. At the very least it eats the bandwidth we are paying for. Perhaps this train of thought could lead to some interesting legislation.

Anyway, can't wait for the OS to hang like a web page because its waiting for the servers to send advertisement data. Can't wait for adblock and noscript for windows 10 operating system.

You want one? You can't have one :P

I wonder if this is the consequence of no child left behind?

...Cortana ...Project Spartan

So.. since I see the trend (HALO) and windows wants to be cool they will rebrand Windows to Master Sergeant and sub windows will be Grunts.

The judge should give the jurors back their internet access. Or maybe the jurors need to contact their ISPs. I mean, how else would they not be getting their internet?

English noobs

She states in her meandering conjecture that we don't know what or how a superintelligent life form would think.

Then through some leap in logic we get to the conclusion that it would be a dominant life form. Now to be fair I did not read the entire chapter and grabbed this conclusion from the summary. And on this forum we all know how accurate summaries generally are..

Lets state our assumptions.

Exactly.. I'm glad I found this comment because I was about to play the 'self discipline' card. The message is just do it. Every person is different and if its distractions, eliminate them. Eye strain - get it fixed. Fatigue - lifestyle changes.

Cripes, have people forgotten how to live?

misogyny: hatred, dislike, or mistrust of women

This is not a problem. I'll let you think about how a person (man or woman) can develop this feeling. Keep in mind it is a feeling, whether rational, irrational or otherwise it is nothing more than a feeling. .. BUT lets sound the alarms! One group of people doesn't like another. We need to control how they think because they might act. Run for the hills!!

In the glory gays of gaming you could swear and taunt and not have to worry about getting arrested for homophobia, racism, anti-semitism, misogyny etc. None of it is was meant maliciously and it should be considered playful banter. People who feel personally attacked by these taunts need to remove themselves from a voluntary community, find another community where they feel more comfortable, or realize the lack of motivation to actually cause harm - these are usually emotional outbursts caused by stressful situations (like getting pwned).

Let's get on the control how everybody thinks bandwagon. Here's some food for thought: Can you vocalize an opinion without offending anyone? Let's just end all communication now and protect fragile egos from the world.

All bleeding-heartism aside, when will academics actually be about academics?

I strongly agree!

How can more elite players possibly not understand the basics of movement? They would be no more than noobs.
