    I have the white Macbook 2.1 "Late 2007 Santa Rosa" 2Gb of ram max. I installed Kubuntu to get Chrome again. I only changed the battery in 2010.

  7. Nope it depends on the state you live in and its Board of Pharmacy rules. In this state the written prescription must match the drug issued. Period. For example if a Dr writes a script for Diovan for high blood pressure. Most insurance will not pay for the brand name drug. The pharmacist will talk to the patient then call the Dr and ask for a new script to be issued for the generic Valsartan. If the Dr says the Brand must be used. The Dr will do all of the "medically necessary" paperwork for the insurance co. The pharmacy just waits for the insurance co. to OK the charges online. 95% of the pain and time working in a pharmacy is dealing with the insurance companies.

    Good friend owns a pharmacy and at one time I had a pharmacy technician license.

  8. I've never had to ask a doctor to prescribe a generic EVER. If there is a generic it just gets substituted by the pharmacist because that's how things actually work. If there is a generic, you don't really have to do anything.

    Why it seems to be case for this particular drug is certainly something worth examining.

    Wrong. The Pharmacist calls the prescribing Doctor. It is up to the Doctor to OK the swap to a generic drug. Then the doctor issues a NEW prescription for the generic drug. The new prescription is put into Pharmacy records. You never see it. Just like if you run out of refills. The same process happens.

    Please educate yourself.

    "Regulated" as in well trained. Not as in governed by laws. A "well trained militia".

    The 4th definition of "Regulated".
    4. To put or maintain in order: regulate one's eating habits.

    "Militia" = All able bodied males 18 to 45 years of age.

    This is what makes the Selective Service and Draft are legal. Every male 18 to 45 IS the militia.

    SO this is how the law sees it.

    "Males aged 18 to 45 well trained in using guns, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

    ZERO. It is not a design fault. It is poor workmanship. Samsung themselves make the battery cells. A 3rd party company assembles the cells into battery packs. The battery pack assembly is what is at fault here. From everything I have read.

    Well at least your state will get the tax money. I find Amazon not that cheap any more. I rarely buy for the bargain. I buy for the selection. If I want a certain brand deodorant in a certain scent. Or my closest Asian market is a 90 mile round trip. Amazon is awesome.

    If the DoJ virtually never prosecutes violations of gun laws, why is it a big deal that they are trying to create new gun laws?

    By definition a criminal does not follow the law. New laws only affect the law abading. Correct? SO new laws do not affect criminals one bit and only restrict the freedom of the law abiding. OR create NEW criminals who will not follow the new laws.
