What about taxing politicians for anxiety and mental issues as they tend to cause them (via attack ads, talks, false information, revocation or imposing of various laws, wars, etc...), i.e. perhaps even as far as heart attacks and of course PTSD, as their bills squabble over ever piece of minutiae that they have a personal issue with... What about bad drivers? The clergy down the street that rile up citizenry depending on your religion or lack of? What about people that hold a fireworks show; should they cover a "scare" charge for children? Politicians that are dismissive and get rid of collective bargaining, cancel school funds, close liquor stores, live in a "Governor Mansion" and claim they're struggling, or start wars that they never need fight themselves? What about politicians that steal, arguably, money that could be used for the workforce, but are instead used for lobbying fees?
How far should this be taken? If there is one profession that deserves a "medical" tax it's politicians and anyone that has any dealings with them whether that be clergy or lobbyists. They constantly hold society hostage to their causes and yet this is considered fine. If the Wisconsin or Bush era dealings taught us anything is that they are petty and laws like what they suggest here are exactly that, petty. They enact more harm that a Big Mac ever could.
They are responsible for a fair share of hurt and pain both mentally and physically and I'm hard pressed to find a reason to tax fatty rather than them. As they have created the majority of our mess. Why not find ways to help first and punish later? If politicians contributed money from their lobbying endeavors (hahahaha) I'm willing to bet that Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security might be standing on firmer ground.
Fat people equalize themselves as they will die due to issues related to their weight at an earlier age; to me it seems tax payer wise to be equal. This is just another divisive issue to bring up that goes nowhere, but makes people think that something useful has been done and gets that politician re-elected by being in the limelight (in fact it does almost nothing other than make sure fat people die without insurance or support). If you grow old and healthy you'll use a lot yourself even though you're healthy, but eventually you will get sick and die making many of these costs equalize. You use a lot unless you die in your sleep or have a heart attack without any help (or die of anything where help is not available). But, if this happens when you're 100 then you use a fair amount no matter what.
There will be exceptions, but these "point the finger" and "blame games" are simplistic war drum machinations... (I didn't look for grammar, a little too tired; so overlook any spelling, word misuse, issues...)
As others have already said, this type of "announcement" seems to come out every console cycle, major gaming push, or "insert some technological/software advancement that John C. Dvorak commented on".
He only sees his world through the eyes of a/(his) iPad, IPhone, iPod, and cellphone user. He is only noticing and paying attention to a microcosm of what is actually available. Now if he talked about the saturation of military shooters I might agree--although I would still think these games will sell; as they have always done well. He sees exactly what he wishes to see. While I do have to agree that it is nice to pay a different price for games, apparently he hasn't tried Steam yet, or he would realize that every point he is making falls flat as this has been happening FOR YEARS on the PC and XBox 360 and their arcade and more importantly their user-made games.
Steam, XBox 360's arcade and independent games, the same for the Playstation, and Nintendo's re-releases of classics all do well. Then there is the little Behemoth called the DS. I think his "The PC is dead..." equivalent comment will pan out to show that it's utter crap. As these same points have been brought up hundreds of times before, with all of them falling flat on their face.
Me and the rest of his buddies decided to learn Russian with an accent. Haven't had any issues for a long time. My troll.
Do you read dreams. Strangely enough when you dream very little changes in the mind. You are still *thinking* even though your asleep (usually at a faster rate 6-8x faster than normal). Your entire mind is at work. It only rests at certain cycles at sleep and even then it's hard at work most likely saving memory chemically, tying it together with neural connections (or neuron to neuron connections), etc...
What about emotions or feelings. Does that transfer. They're triggered in the same and usual manner. Is it worse during a storm? Have you ever thought, maybe you should: make some scientific tests to (double blind) test the ability, query a psychology department--I'm very serious about this option (it offers tests and if inconclusive it offers advice if not solutions--believe it or not using fMRI or PET scans they would find out A HUGE amount if you had even a minor event), if you have it-why are you so scared of seeing it through to a conclusion. Make sure they know everything that you may've EVER experienced (talking, visions, auditory, feelings, etc...).
Also, go into this WITH an open mind, as it may be possible you have a mental illness; like a second personality. In effect it would circumvent you from knowing any information straight off the bat, but then sending it to you in two ways. First, it would send you information out of the blue, unexpectedly as it is not sent in the typical fashion. Second, then it would give you the full information which we all get. If this type of situation occurred it might seem like prescience abilities, but it is merely a perception based delusion caused by the pseudo-personality monkeying with your input from the world. Keep your mind open. Let go of the notion that you can read minds. Balance yourself and be extremely critical, especially with a doctor (or doctors). You can even try a second opinion (unless you get James Randi, I wouldn't bother if he takes you up as he'll have the best there).
You sound like a "nice story bro" troll. But, hey, if you got the goods, there are people that will help you. Talk to James Randi, he'll want to disprove you, but if you find anything it'll mean something (plus you get one million dollars; another reason why none of us believe this crap--no-one is willing to get tested , EVEN though they'd be rich instantly...). fMRI and PET are the way to go. BTW, those machines are good enough with a trained technician to give a yea or nay if your lying or being truthful. That part I'm most defiantly making up.
So are you going to hide what could possibly be one of the biggest breakthroughs evolutionary wise, if not just for the medical and physics data that would be provided for the world to use. Make sure you approach a public figure like Randi, and get more people to follow your events. Otherwise, you'll end up a section 8 in some basement complex in Nevada.
BTW, if your not willing to test it, fervently (as I doubt you would want to stop it if a psychologist just told you it's in your head; or just outright called you insane), I really would wager that you're full of crap. Plus if it is true and they can track the genetic marker responsible we might be able to use it one day. But, if that gene is recessive it;'s more than likely it'll show up in your family for a few generations and go *poof*. (Nobody has the gene anymore as it was replaced by a dominant one.)
I'm giving you the benefit of *feeding a troll*(or doubt). Enjoy your lulz.

I had a PFO closure to stop severe headaches and of course future problems (like stroke).
PFO remains in about 1/4 of the population (everyone has it as a baby). Mine was sealed by a non-invasive catheter device. It's basically a titanium mesh of two discs connected together. They release one side of the disc in the exterior hole then move out and release the other connected side on the outer side (making sure it's a tight fit). My hole was about 1/2 an inch, which is on the large end.
The heart then grows tissue around the mesh and seals the hole. Of course you do still have the mesh in you (just don't go near anything that puts out 3 Tesla).
I wonder if they could develop a similar type of procedure for major problems. A mesh that can be molded and placed into the injured areas. Build a strong outer layer that the body can break down over time, and perhaps nutrients embedded in the mesh's core to allow the heart to regrow all affected tissue.
The headline should have been "Crackers Cause Pentagon to Put Computers Down". Not only do we get eatery jokes, but we can complain about how PETA will go after the Pentagon.

Trent Reznor has been very angry over some of UMG's decisions as of late. Trent does a good job of providing reasons to buy his album in this digital age. He even puts up all his new music on his Myspace page. http://www.myspace.com/nin Here is a link to some of his current concerns regarding UMG. http://nin.com/tr/
I'm also worried about hardware support related issues. For instance, will it come with an adapter that will allow me to send a virus to an alien mothership?
Encryption is the only thing that'll stand any serious investigation. Hear, hear! That's why I always have my hard drive suspended over a hidden hole of liquid nitrogen. If the authorities want it they'll have to get past the pit trap, the poisonous snakes, quicksand, AOL disc launchers, and the sledge hammer that will smash the drive once it's lowered into the nitrogen after the cops put the incorrect amount of weight in place after removing the hard drive.
After that they just need to get out of the house before it collapses or they are ran over by the 10-ton round boulder. Then they still have to fight off the locals, avoid Nazis, and hitch a ride on a plane.
I sit in sad repose as I type this reply concerning an issue I find most deeply disturbing. The first thing I want to bring up is that China's sophistries have created an obscene, daft universe devoid of logic and evidence. Only within this universe does it make sense to say that it's okay if China's words initially cause our quality of life to degrade because "sometime", "someone" will do "something" "somehow" to counteract that trend. Only within this universe does it make sense to replace law and order with anarchy and despotism. And, only if we create and nurture a true spirit of community can we destroy this rapacious universe of its and take steps toward creating an inclusive society free of attitudinal barriers. If we can understand what has caused the current plague of depraved blackguards, I believe that we can then acquire the input of a representative cross-section of the community in a non-threatening, inclusive environment. I can't follow China's pretzel logic. I do, however, know that it is driving me nuts. I can't take it anymore! Should someone think that I am saying too much, I am not saying too much, but much too little. For China's true goal is to leach integrity and honor from our souls. All the statements that its compeers make to justify or downplay that goal are only apologetics; they do nothing to open minds instead of closing them. Let me end by appealing to our collective sense of humanity: China's flunkies are an amalgamation of cacodemonic cheapskates, amoral hoodwinkers, and other cantankerous, passive-aggressive segregationists.
