Ansgar Kortem, director of Germanyâ(TM)s Walter Hohmann Observatory, said: âoeItâ(TM)s a real meteorite, therefore it is very valuable to collectors and scientists.â
However, my friend the Dutch science writer Govert Schilling talked to Kortem who is claiming he never saw the meteorite and was misquoted. Interesting. While this doesnâ(TM)t negate the story, it does cast some doubt on it.
Lasik is probably the cannonical example of free-market medicine driving prices down.
It's totally optional surgery usually not covered by insurance. That's hardly an example of how the American health care system works, if only to illustrate that insurance companies are broken.
You are correct that Lasik is optional and not covered by insurance.
The point is that this has resulted in a dramatic drop in the price of the surgery due to market forces that would have been unable to work if it were covered by insurance.
You're a marine, one of Earth's toughest, hardened in combat and trained for action. Three years ago, you assaulted a superior officer for ordering his soldiers to fire upon civilians. He and his body cast were shipped to Pearl Harbor, while you were transferred to Mars, home of the Union Aerospace Corporation.
the new features to be included in Windows 7 include advancements in touch, speech, and handwriting recognition, support for virtual hard disks, support for additional file formats, improved performance on multi-core processors, improved boot performance, and kernel improvements.
So it's fixing problems with Vista (improved performance on multi-core processors, improved boot performance, and kernel improvements), adding support for new hardware (touch, speech, and handwriting recognition, support for virtual hard disks), and adding a few new features (support for additional file formats, visual tweaks.)
Isn't that the definition of a Service Pack?

Interesting.....
I certainly missed the part of the article where they supported that claim...
mk, i see that, I was trying to think of any conflict we'd been in and could only come up with the Pig War, which we sorta won... kinda.

Of course, you mean "available to all at someone else's cost," since nothing is free.
Indeed. Same as any public service. I don't know where you were going with that?

Way to go man like there aren't enough people 'round even with built-in obsolensence! Anyway, if you live forever, how can you hope to get to heaven.
Interstellar exploration will not be feasible until immortality is acquired. ...and you have fun in heaven now, you hear?
They also killed Jebus!
We beat the USA before
Honest curiosity here, when did Canada beat the United States in a war?
I also.
bahaha, nice :-)
although it does reference monty python there, so maybe it has potential after all...
We will soon be exiting the Gulf Stream which means things will start to move a lot slower and many more challenges will be thrust upon us.

Win 7 will undoubtedly require more/better hardware.
Really? You sure ?
From what I can tell, it runs faster on the same hardware...
xyzzy!!!
Don't give me that, you snotty-faced heap of parrot droppings!
ADOM is better.
I've decided to define Star Wars Canon by Timothy Zahn's works.

If you start the journey with "A long time ago..." you don't expect space ships do you? That would be silly.
