Quite simply there's two parts to fix. If you are gonna stop tipping then waiters/waitresses need to get paid a fair wage. Also, it's kind of like a performance based thing. For instance, you have two people waiting tables. One does an amazing job and one is slacking and being rude to the customers. It is pretty much impossible for a manager to focus their attention on the waitstaff when running a restaurant. So, tipping is a good incentive for the waitstaff not to be pleasant and timely with the customers.
p.s. Trust me, the deserving get the bigger tips and the non-deserving don't. It's your choice.
So how is it, that they decided to perform the "hi-tech scan" after 23 years?! That's absolutely ridiculous. What, did the doctors get bored one day and decide to finally pay attention to the human mantle-piece?
Maybe so, but I was in fourth grade so I didn't realize that at the time. Remember, I had trouble with them. But that was still way too much work for kid that age.
When I was in fourth grade, I had trouble learning my multiplication tables. So I had to write out from 1x1 to 12x12 (144 problems) 12 times a night. That's over a 1000 math problems a night in fourth grade!
Well I'm just glad I live in a town small enough that it only has one stoplight and no one would care to put cameras in. Still, this kind of observance never ends well.
Does anyone think our species will even be around in a billion years? I mean that's a long time for some kind of disaster that whipes out mankind. Disease, virus, nuclear war, zombie outbreak, etc. However, if mankind was still around hopefully we would have other planetary colonies to seek refuge. So I don't this is really news.
I agree, games with no visible damage to a character really takes me out of the experience and makes me think "Yep you are playing a video game." However, games such as Left 4 Dead are so great in my opinion because weapons have the effects you would expect them to and that immerses you in the game so much more.

You know, I really never understood the decimal point being a comma. But then again, I'm an American.

Once swine flu or H1N1 is mentioned all logic and reason goes out the window. Didn't you know that?
...History is cyclical my friend.
