They have been covering it on the news since yesterday evening - the doctors are saying they are "taking it hour by hour": which is unfortunately not a good sign.
I may not like the bloke, but I feel for his family and wish him a speedy recovery.

Ah, I see. I didn't hear about it until this morning when it came in on my Facebook stream.

Actually, the guy said this, word for word (in french obviously, but translated for you!):
"We are taking it hour by hour, to save time". 
I understand what he meant, but seriously?

What a shame I hope he recovers!
Skiing seems to be a pretty dangerous sport,
I'm still working on the delicate art of walking upright. Of course it's a lot easier now that I don't drink.

Add to that:
Quote: British journalist Kevin Garside told CNN that Schumacher is "a very good skier" but acknowledged that he is "fearless" -- like most Formula 1 drivers.
"These people don't recognize fear like you and I do. There is no gene in their body that lets them go slow," Garside said.

Well, now he is just a number that wanders into the yearly skiing accident statistics.
Only Thing thats different, he is popular.
He had the same bad luck as hundreds of other skiiers and Snowboarders have yearly.
But i also hope he'll get through

Because nothing is going to get me excited about trying your product like your branding it as two years obsolete (all the cool kids launched 2014 versions a few months ago). 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

What about those who are neither kids or "cool"?
What passes for cool for kids strike those who are not kids as "Well, that looks stupid". For example there were an awful lot of kids who thought Justin Bieber was "cool". Now he is obsolete but he has been replaced by One Direction... 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Are there any developer tools ... any software ... that get(s) better with age ?
mmmm ... I'll get back to you on that one after I reincarnate as Bill2014.
Happy New Year !
“I'm an artist: it's self evident that word implies looking for something all the time without ever finding it in full. It is the opposite of saying : 'I know all about it. I've already found it.'
As far as I'm concerned, the word means: 'I am looking. I am hunting for it. I am deeply involved.'”

Just learned a new word.
I happen to know a person owning shoes that looks just like those minus the spikes.
He also happens to be a Barrister.

Yes, but wearing them requires you to play golf.
I prefer this[^] shoe myself.

I ran with that myself... I had to take it back, it's wayyyy too heavy for running long distances, at least I thought so (maybe not used to "supportive" shoes). I ended up getting another model with less support (but lighter).

I wore New Balance 1123's until a couple years ago when they stopped making them, and I had problems with the replacement model. I'm a big guy (6'1", 210 lbs) for a distance runner and I severely overpronate. I wear custom orthotics and the best motion-control shoes I can find. The 'Beast' gives me a nice combination of support and fit for the orthotics, which have a pretty deep heel cup.
The good news is my running club membership gets me 10% off at my running shoe store.

I had a hiking/backpacking buddy that wore these on occasion and liked them very much.
|
|
|
|
|
They'd probably be good for that... because of all the support. Although not very waterproof so it would have to be fair weather hiking.
|

No hiking boot that I've ever seen or used is waterproof, even in the military boots were designed to breath. The only complaint he had was mud stuck between toes.
