I don't think we pile it so high, though I have never worked in whichever civil service branch handles snow so it is only based on life-experience. I have never seen a pile so high, we have many smaller piles scattered throughout our c

I was wondering if anyone had information about this. It looks like it ties to Microsoft HealthVault. That is not available in Canada. It appears (from the outside) that MS sold the "rights" to HealthVault to Telus, whom did abs

I agree with you but for discussions sake... What if this wasn't classified as a corner case? As you said - most MSOs are running either an old Moto or old SA as their standard box. Because headends are either Moto or SA there are actuall

This looks to be shaping up well. Might I suggest a new word for "Favorites" though. Maybe it is silly but it seems odd to me to Favorite gore pictures et. al. "Important" or "Impactful" or something else might be a better word when the

Reminds me of Stable Matching[1] but the groups aren't the same size. I guess if we can relax the "opposite sex" requirement then we reduce the problem to a Stable Roommates Problem[2] ;) [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_matching

Political musing aside I think it may be disingenuous to compare modern collision-free Ethernet vs shared-medium solutions. Modern Ethernet over twisted-pair connect directly to a switch, a quite intelligent piece of technology. During thi

I am not a doctor. The body is quite good at keeping high ox levels. If your ox level is too low cell damage can occur, organ damage, etc. If your ox level gets way to low your die. Lower than normal ox levels can help diagnose that some

I wouldn't use the headrest personally. In an accident the magnets will detach and the ipad will become incredibly dangerous to the passengers in the car.

Cool idea. I am confused by the implication of this code var prices = new(Table, String, Int); put(prices, $(String, "Apple"), $(Int, 12)); Stack objects are created with "$" so these are on the stack and then placed into the Tab

I felt the WP7 icons looked 'ok' until I saw/used them in person. The movement aspects of the tiles, personally, are important to the overall feel of the home screen. I really liked the tile interface after using it (so much so I switch t

I think almost every company would have to have such a banner. Everyone has a price. Even Marco ("and they didn’t want to pay enough"). Some prices are higher than 'the market' wants to pay right now but that doesn't mean there isn't one
