Hello Bolus: Why should we know what functionality your patients want? They are your patients; why don't you ask them? Are you implying that "geeks" are sickly by nature and therfore more in touch with what patients really want?
My advice to you Bolus is to abandon your system development effort right now -- save yourself some money; you clearly don't know what you want to build so don't start building.
It's pretty evident that they already know some of the things they want to make available to patients. Why ask for geek opinions? Given the numbers of us in the/. community, certainly a certain percentage would be patients (you would appear to be among those who never go to the doctor and therefore clueless as to what those in the other group might want). Unlike the patient population at large, those of us here might not only know what we'd like to see implemented, but have the sense to know what is possible via available technology and what is not.
As to why the docs don't ask thier patients, this sounds like a new practice that they are building and likely don't have an established patient base to poll yet.
If he dies violently then all that twitching might have an effect, otherwise he just evacuates his bowels and bladder as he slumps over. I don't think the control mechanism is sensitive to odors and as long as none of the controls are strapped on below the waist the moisture shouldn't get to it....
OK, guess you're a little different then. I usually feel a lot better after having gone to the bathroom.
You just need to let a lot more pressure build up before you go. Of course, if you let too much pressure build up you may end up going before you get to the bathroom. Then you feel better and worse at the same time.
That's an easy one. When discussing anything M$, government or big-company related, you're supposed to feel sick, nauxious, disgusted, like going to the bathroom etc.
As a general rule, when I go to the bathroom I feel much better for it.
While I've never agreed with the antics of the RIAA and the MPAA, I've also never been able to bring myself to agree with projects such as this one. By downloading music like this off of the Internet, you are denying -- in a very real way -- a profit to many companies who would otherwise benefit from your capital.
At the risk of playing to the troll.... Since this music is all in the public domain, your assertions are akin to telling people that they can't grow their own gardens because they are taking money out of the mouths of farmers. The capital you're so concerned about is just shifted to another segment of the economy.
If the music were still under copyright you might make the argument that the copyist is denying the originator the fruits of his/her labor, but this is just inane.
...is this the most blatant "I hate MS" post in a long time or what?!?
Not the way I read it.
Everybody and there brother has submitted what has to be the least interesting story in months. Microsoft's DNS server is down. I haven't visited their web site in months and I don't care in the slightest, but if I don't post this, I'm going to spend the next 48 hours deleting 2,000 submissions about it as zillions of people somehow think that this matters.
There was the little dig at the end about service packs, but if you're going to have to post the story anyway.....

I suppose you could encase something in this gas, and achive time travel.
I remember one time when I was encased in gas, but everyone else in the room travelled... or maybe I travelled to a time when there was nobody in the room.
I work for an Independent System Operator in New England, The believe that power consumption in Winter is less than summer is BS. Normally Winter and Summer are the highest seasons while Spring and Fall are the lower ones.
I'm sure that's true... in New England. The climate is somewhat different in the southwest. Northern California probably fits your scenario, but the bulk of the population (and electrical consumption) is in Southern California. Factor in the use of gas for heating and electrical consumption should drop even lower in the winter.
Along the same lines, there's no clear distinction between spam and traditional direct advertising (telemarketing, junk mail). They intrude on you whether you like it or not, and are protected by law.
There are opt-out lists for both snail mail and telemarketing advertisers with penalties for those who continue after being asked to stop.

The patent on gore-tex ran out in the last year or there abouts. So the price has come down...
I looked recently for a Gore-Tex rainsuit for bicyclists and the prices didn't seem any lower than last years or the year before.
When you mention the REI stuff are you talking about Gore-Tex or some other type of breathable water resistant technology? I figure a guy from Portland ought to be in the know about this sort of thing....
So they've renamed their company to, "Monkey." But not really Monkey, because it's not Simian, it's Ximian. And why Ximian over Zimian? Because X's are cool.
Not just because X's are cool. These aren't ordinary monxeys, but X-monxeys - genetically superior and posessing incredible powers.

...he's comparing corporate regulation to government regulation as though he'd already proven that the need for regulation was a given.
I don't think the point there was the need for regulation as much as stating that the net will be regulated (controlled) and making a distinction between regulation by content providers or an external agency. Much of what he says makes sense, regardless of what we might think of his writing style.
The difficulty with regulation is that government never knows where to draw the line. How many times has government made noises to appease the masses but lined corporate pockets when the legislation actually gets passed?
I've used bookpool before. They usually sort to the top by price when I use one of the book specific search engines. Never had any problems either. My deep discount was due to the retailer's error. The sign was removed immediately and I was the first (and last) customer to get the book at that price.
I've just started through 'Learning Perl' right now, so I wasn't really ready to get this book, but saw it on a shelf marked at $6.99US and nabbed it. Wish all my purchases were discounted that deeply.
There are small rendering glitches, such as when writing this text in the "Comment" textfield on slashdot. If I fill out a line, ending a word exactly on the last character in the field, then the "space" before the next word will be in the beginning of the next line.
The earlier version (don't remember which) that I'm using does the same thing.
Does anyone know if the new version allows import of Netscape email folders and messages? I've not been able to find out how to accomplish this as of yet. Couldn't get their site this morning for some reason....
Right. Set aside and overturned are not the same. I think the state should be allowed to rule with intervention at the federal level only when and if the state shows that it cannot come to grips with the problem by the deadline for the electoral college vote. It is the state of Florida's election laws that are being examined and that isn't a federal issue unless the laws run cross-grain to the US Constitution.
Of course Telco's have a right to charge for the use of their equipment!
Well, if the poster of this question is accurate in that, "They proposed that ISP's who engage in internet telephony will be required to pay the telco's access charges.", that's not the issue, at least not here in the states. You'd be charging for services that are not being provided.
Back when AT&T was broken up by the Feds, one issue was that other long distance providers weren't able to purchase the same quality of access that AT&T was using. These access connections provided answer supervision (detection of the voltage change when someone picked up their handset to answer an incoming call) among other things, and allowed for precise billing. Once divestiture was a reality, those same competing companies didn't want to pay additional fees on every one of their trunks to obtain the additional service. They tried timers (if it's still ringing after twenty seconds, we assume you got a connection and start billing) and noise detection (if you yelled, "Turn down that stinkin' radio, I'm trying to call your grandmother!" while it was still ringing, we figure you're talking to your party and start billing).
Since VOIP doesn't care when or if you get connected, and you can live with minor quality issues, and ISP's aren't demanding the high dollar hookups, you can't justify charging the access fees associated with service you're not providing.
The number of tracked machines may rise as a result, but unless a significant portion of Dell's sales are Linux boxen, dramatically might be a tad, well..... dramatic.

Try gvim for the best of both worlds. GUI toolbars, menus, hilighting, scrollbars, cut and paste, etc. with all the vi commands as well.
