I had mine done in June of 05. For two months, I had the same problems you had for nine. One minute my right eye would be crystal clear and my left would be so fuzzy I could barely see a foot in front of my face. I would blink and it would reverse (right eye horrible, left eye clear). Pretty freaky stuff when you think that sort of thing might be permanent.
The surgeon at LasikPlus was very candid before the surgery. He told me about the possible complications and eventual outcomes. I understand it's not a perfect prodcedure. There are still times that my vision in one eye will dip a bit below 20/15 (20/40 or so) for anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. It's noticeable... but still a hell of a lot better than 20/650 or 20/850.
I got Wavefront done on both eyes. The $2000 includes a lifetime of checkups and corrections. I went to LasikPlus in Louisville. They've got centers all over, though.
I'm assuming you got the milky white steroid drops. Worst tasting eyedrops ever.
Usually not. The only time I get any is when my eyes are dry, it's night and there's a really bright light (street lamps and headlights usually don't produce any... but high beams do).
I'd worn contacts for almost 20 years when I finally decided to pony up the cash for LASIK. Best $2000 I've ever spent. My eyes would dry out extremely quickly while wearing contacts. Since the inital recuperation from the surgery, my eyes haven't become dry unless I stay up 24+ hours in a row.
An added bonus is that my eyesight in each eye (20/650 and 20/850 before) is now 20/15. I could never come close to that with contacts.
I know you were asking about contact lenses... but you should at least consider LASIK.
I don't know how they managed to screw it up so badly, but the only way of being sure to get the patch in less than a couple of hours is to use a mirror.
My point is that if you have a mix of Unix and Windows systems, hiring an MCSE with no Unix knowledge and expecting him to fix Unix problems shows that you aren't qualified to be hiring anybody.
So yes, if you hire people who can't do what you hire them for, you are an idiot.
You fired an MCSE because he didn't know how to solve problems in Unix? That's like firing someone in sales because they don't understand how to operate payroll.
I hope you didn't hire him... or you're a bigger idiot than you think he is.

I'm sorry to hear you had such bad luck.

Other than that, no problems at all.
If at all possible, get LASIK.

a vivisection since the patient survived
Vivisection means you cut on a living animal. Not that it survived the process.
Just sayin.
It wasn't a comment on BitTorrent. It was a comment on how badly Blizzard implented their patch distribution plan.
BitTorrent is excellent. Using Blizzard as a example of a company successfully utilizing it is not excellent.
And it's AWFUL.

Maybe you can get a memory stick preloaded with a sense of humor.
Typical alt-rock elitest bullshit.
Billie Joe Armstrong will probably never win any solo god guitar awards, but he's extremely talented. Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool are absolute monsters.
Have you even LISTENED to American Idiot? Obviously not. It has more of a message than the snobbish music critic crap you listed.
But what about the recent actions taken by the FCC that in response to previous recent actions?
What are the chances that LG will pony up replacements for the broken drives?
I'd say zero... until enough people flip out on Dell. Maybe then...
because Logan's Run is turning out to be prophetic
If you think the US is run by people under 30, maybe it's time you dipped your head in some smart juice.
... because they're statistically rare even though there isn't anything tangible that happens. Kinda like birthdays.
Birthdays are rare?
I'm pretty sure someone has a birthday every day.
Yeah, he didn't commit a crime. Except for that whole conspiracy thing.
Just because you don't agree with the sentence doesn't make what he did legal.
Duck this:
You fucking suck.
Both sides will be severely destroyed.
Severely destroyed?
That's much worse than getting normally destroyed.

Can someone explain how a film with English dialogue can have English subtitles?
Maybe those crazy movie studios put English subtitles on an English DVD... oh, I don't know...
So deaf people could know what was going on?
Just a guess.

Did I say RAID was Unix only?
