The World's Most-High Tech Urinal
Posted by CmdrTaco on Sunday November 19, @09:28AM
from the japan-might-argue-with-that dept.
It's funny. Laugh. Hardware
Mudzy writes "In an effort to handle its nighttime public urination problem, Victoria, the capital of British Columbia, is considering installing high-tech urinals that disappear below street level during the day. Then at night, an operator comes by with a remote and the Urilift hydraulically lifts to sidewalk level in about two minutes. Then the unit is ready to serve all the nighttime party animals who don't mind peeing in a very exposed public urinal. The $75,000 system has been installed across the Netherlands, and have spread to London and Belfast, but Victoria will be the first North American city to try them out."

I came very close to posting a pic of a nifty device called a "Texas Catheter" but changed my mind for fear that some might find it offensive. Neat little device though....it comes in three parts: the first looks rather like a condom but with a lumen insert at the tip, the second is vinal tubing and the third is a collection bad that straps around the thigh. Remarkable device with many uses aside from the obvious...we use to fill it with booze and drink from the insert or from the lumen of the tube. Naturally, we used sterile new ones directily from the packaging ;) Awesome at a concert!

hi rav and jerry1,its good to see great friends posting here..

Dumping DRM
p2pnet.net News:- "... if you swear that you?re not going to listen to any music, you?re not going to pay. It?s going to be very hard for you not to pay, and the network is keeping an eye on you to see you don?t download any music. And if you do without a license, we?ll sue the hell out of you - because you?ve been offered a cheap deal like the TV license."
The subject is dumping DRM.
Good idea? Not if you're going to replace it with a music tax based on UK TV licensing, continues Techcrunch's Michael Arrington (right).
Ex-Pink Floyd manager Peter Jenner is a respected figure in the music industry and, "he gets the ball rolling by saying the big labels are 'f@@ked'," says the story, going on, "That?s an easy way to win over the crowd these days, who generally see big music labels as the antichrist."
According to Jenner, the labels have "raped their whole business model" chasing short term profits. But then he goes off the deep end, wanting the government to step in and save them with a mandatory monthly tax in the European Union on broadband Internet and mobile phones of around ?4 (about $5) a month.
The tax would allow consumers to download all the music they wanted without DRM, says Arrington in Techcrunch. "Payments will be made to rights holders according to popularity of music - if a song is very popular, it will get a higher percentage of total fees collected."
If you live in the UK and own a television, you're forced to pay a tax of £131.50 (about $250.00) a year, says the story, adding:
"The BBC gets these fees - how they spend it is broken down here. The BBC literally has vans roam around the country trying to determine if people who don?t have licenses are watching tv in their house, and there are big fines if you are caught without one. In 1995, 235 people were jailed for not paying the TV tax."
However, Arrington thinks it'd be a bad idea to legislate a tax, "that gives the music industry guaranteed revenue, and guaranteed profits, while simultaneously removing their incentive to innovate and serve niche markets".
In fact, "Asking the government to prop up a dying industry is always (always) a bad idea," he states, adding unequivocally:
"In this case, it is a monumentally stupid, dangerous, and bad idea."

you will have to start behaving yourself so as to not get grounded in future.
i usually blame the parents for today's kids' behaviour, the world is going to the dogs. Bring back proper punishment in schools i say, and corporal punishment everywhere else

@right682 ... my parents never grounded me because, when all was said and done, it meant having my annoying little self hanging around. That was the advantage of not only being the last kid, but being an "accident" ...my parents were nearly fifty when I was born; a frisky night with too much to drink methinks LOL!

LOL must have been a busy day! Like the NY City blackout in the 60s. Hmmm...nah, can't think of any big occasion nine months prior. My brother and sister were in their teens when I was born though ... I'm guessing they just grabbed a moment when the kids and their friends weren't around. In fact, I'll bet that's why they use to send me to the sat afternoon double features LOL! Yiiiks ... my parents had sex! Oh Yuk!

I haven't been grounded once, and I'm 15. I'm too smart to get caught, see. And my mate has preordered one, with guarentee that he'll get it on UK release day.
Not rubbing it in or anything :P

It's funny though. A Wii costs about as much as an iPod video :)

Wii claims first victim - a 60-inch TV
Wrist-strapping mismap
By INQUIRER newsdesk: Monday 20 November 2006, 14:49
EXCITED WII USERS should learn to take it easy on their Wiimote, if one gamer's experience is anything to go by.
Something Awful forum user 'Tuxedo Jack' tells his tragic tale, and of how a friend enthusiastically playing Wii sports managed to impale a 60-inch rear-projection TV.
So, why weren't the gamers wearing Ninty's trusty wrist strap, designed to prevent such incidents from happening in the first place? Well, it turns out they were wearing the wrist strap, until it decided to snap mid-bowling and send the Wiimote hurtling towards the pricey kit.
Over enthusiastic gamers be warned. Pictures can be found in this thread - if you're not a member, just scroll down past the registration prompt. µ

WHOS GOING TO CRY AND BITCH OVER THIS
O.J. Simpson Book, TV Special Canceled
By DAVID BAUDER
AP Television Writer
NEW YORK
After a firestorm of criticism, News. Corp. said Monday that it has canceled the O.J. Simpson book and TV special "If I Did It."
"I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project," said Rupert Murdoch, News Corp. chairman. "We are sorry for any pain that this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson."
A dozen Fox affiliates had already said they would not air the two- part sweeps month special, planned for next week before the Nov. 30 publication of the book by ReganBooks. The publishing house is a HarperCollins imprint owned _ like the Fox network _ by News Corp.
