Granted, because there was much less "dope" around, people reacted better to less potent anesthetics - but I don't think you can compare it to what you get today in a hospital or with OTC paracetamol-derivates...

But I suppose these are some of the myths you need to believe in, and propagate, to support "national health coverage." So by all means carry on.
I'm not even from the US. (But where I live, we have "national health coverage", thank you.)
But it's true - corn-starches aren't very good for the overall health.
Nevertheless, teeth need a lot of attention - and sometimes a dentist.

Dentists? Nope

I moved my mom from SuSE to a Mac. Best thing ever.
The very few support calls I can solve with Teamviewer from work or home.
Windows isn't a system for the casual home-user. It only works reliably when an army of competent sysadmins pamper it daily. There's no point in giving a relative a Windows PC or laptop if you have to maintain it yourself.
I don't get paid enough at work to use Windows - I certainly don't want to play Windows sysadmin for free.
the iPad Mini is a shrunken iPad2. There first had to be larger iPads, to fine-tune the manufacturing.
I don't own any iPad - I'd probably buy an iPad4, rather than an iPad Mini because I currently don't want to carry anything bigger than an iPhone 4S in my pocket - and I see more usage-scenarios for me with the iPad4.
I hope there's still an iPhone 4S-formfactor phone from Apple in two years....
I especially like the PERL/Ruby APIs, but the thing is written for Rails2 and would need some refactoring.
I know there's GLPI - but I don't need most of the stuff it provides (and I'm not sure if it would fit our use-cases) and I'd rather want something that can be plugged into existing solutions via APIs...
When customers contact us because they can't receive certain mail, we try to whitelist the IP(s).
When customers complain that they can't send mail to a certain person because our IPs are blacklisted, we ask them to ask their recipients to have our ranges whitelisted. It's almost the only way this is going to work. No point in trying to have someone whitelist our range over the phone in a company with several layers of managers between a helpdesk-agent and a server-operator.
We don't host any spammers, but sometimes accounts get hijacked and spam does get sent from our IPs. When we find out, we stop it.
But still, blacklistings do happen.
I'm sure it exists, as long as the balance sheet is OK.
A "market" (and the ZD exploit market, being largely unregulated, TTBOMK) doesn't have any ethics per-se.
Where I work, there is a growing number of prior-Apple users. Recently, an update rendered his (and thousands of others) WiFi useless.
How recently exactly?
I can't remember when the last iOS update came out. It must be months.
The Apple geniuses tell him it's a hardware problem and can't replace his phone because they are out of that model..
I've never had to have anything replace from Apple. So if they had his model in stock, would they have just replaced it on the spot?
What was the path of action suggested by the Apple Genius?
Android is screwing Apple's image up since it is showing people what they can't do with iPhone which is, for the most part, the biggest reason Apple users are growing dissatisfied.
I keep hearing "Apple doesn't let me do some things on the iPhone that I can do on Android" - but I've never heard anything useful other than hacker-y stuff.
Nothing, normal people would like to do and that isn't available as an app.
They don't have the iconic demi-god in charge any longer and no one knows how to think different any more. Business is always risk averse and Jobs was always just the opposite... unafraid to go out there with something and sell it as something awesome. Meanwhile, the rest of Apple thinks something actually has to be awesome before they can sell it.
Welcome back to the dying Apple. Law suits will be their only source of income soon.
This sounds a bit bitter, doesn't it? Jobs also (almost always) knew when to make his move. While from the remaining crew, certainly nobody wants to be remembered as "the one who screwed it all up", I still see them doing a better stewardship than e.g. the guy who took over from Bill Gates who squanders the money in "bold" acquisitions (remember the Yahoo acquisition?) and high-profile projects that lead nowhere and have to be written-off a couple of years later.
I do have to agree that the iPhone is no longer the "It-Phone" and "my" office of nearly 30 is about 2/3ds or so Android. But that doesn't say a lot. I just shows that people here have too much time on hand to tinker with their phone;-)
I have always been of the opinion that while Christian conservatives decry Islam as evil, they are secretly jealous of it. Afterall, Islam has permeated many governments in the Middle East to a degree which most Christian conservatives could only hope to achieve.
US right-wing conservatives are very similar to fundamentalist muslims - that's probably the reason they hate each other: it takes one to know one.
They are really the two sides of the same coin. Each of them thrives on the existence of the other.
Just imagine for a minute there was universal peace around the world (or just peace between Israel and the rest of the Arab world, all issues cleared etc - the need to Hamaz and all those other nut-cases would vanish instantly - as well as for their Israeli counterparts.
Telecommunications equipment is designed to be evesdropping-friendly; Complete with port mirroring, trace and audit logs, selective forwarding based on rules... it's all standard. We're not even talking about the law enforcement black boxes, this is just stuff used for legitimate business purposes. The moment any such 'bug' went active, it would set off alarms -- by necessity, the communications would have to occur over the provider's own network. Unless their network admins are idiots they should notice the abberant traffic.
I thought, ETSI LI regulations require that the LI (lawful interception) can occur even without the Telco knowing it happens.
That said, concerning the notion brought forward in the article: it just means that there's another nation spying on the telco-infrastructure.
AFAIK, most LI-equipment is developed by companies that are more or less obvious front companies for the nations' intelligence agencies, often run by former intelligence-agency staff.
To truly believe that there's no system behind this is, is akin to believing in the tooth-fairy.

I'm sure, the large majority will put up even with that. But maybe MSFT will be using some spare change and license Opera.
We can just install WeatherPro on the iPhone! Right?
It's a police-station, nowadays (guess why - the State of Bavaria inherited it, too)

According to wikipedia, Apple sold 72 300 000 iPhones in 2011.
That leaves two possibilities for now:
Looking at some parts of the US, decades of communist economic mismanagment is clearly not an absolute requirement to bring a region down.
