A friend of mine, her husband and I sat down to see "The usual suspects" one night, she just couldnt take the movie seriously because apparently Keiser Soyze (sp?) means "Imperial sauce or soup" in german...
Which of course makes complete sense once you see the ending, but it was pretty much a spoiler for her
Sure, I spent 5 days in the hospital with an IV in my arm, without as much as drop of water passing through my mouth. I almost died!
The interesting part, is that due to the seriousness of my case, my Gastroenterologist basically told me that my life as I knew it was over. That I would have to eat bland food for the rest of my life, or I would have pancreatitis again.
My Chinese doctor friend, when he found out that I was at the hospital, developed a treatment strategy, and gave me a normal, yet healthy diet and after a couple of weeks I could eat pretty much everything again (I live in Mexico City, so you might imagine what I consider "normal" food).
Two years later, I have had no problems again, and although I have now a much healthier diet now, the Gastroenterologist is now taking Chinese Medicine courses because he basically expected me to have to do the 'Matrix diet' for at least a few years.
Optometry is not medicine, at least not in the alopathic tradition. I would like to read the book, however.
OTOH, there is a technique in Traditional Chinese Medicine that supposedly corrects your eyesight progressively by placing acupuncture needles in strategic points in the face, arms, legs and back.
Problem is, that for someone with my eyesight, you have to go the acupuncturist every day for a few years to get your sight back to normal levels.
According to my doctor (Certified in the Beijing People's Hospital) this technique is most useful in children where short-sightedness is just becoming apparent.
BTW, Chinese Medicine _does_ work, it has cured my of an acute pancreatitis that almost killed me. The gastroenterologist hired by my insurance company could not believe how fast i recovered without any medication, only needles and a better diet.
Man alive... is someone bitter about his marriage?
I mean, Im aware that when you marry you agree to let someone else make decisions on every single penny you will make for the rest of your life, however 2000 USD for putting wallpaper is pretty much absurd.
Mhmm maybe they were made of a denser plastic... I too have broken a CDr easily with one hand (like an egg)... but i didnt feel they were thicker before, so thats why I was asking
Large scale Pirates would laugh at your proposal... many of them here in Mexico (ok, maybe not the #1 pirate haven, but maybe #3) are still using 2x or 4x scsi burners... They just have loads of them working simultaneously
You have a band and want to make a couple of hundred CDs for selling at your gigs? Here in Mexico City's "Computer Plaza" you can purchase a ready-made scsi tower of 4-12 burners that connects to your scsi-equipped pc for about 1000-2500 USD, depending on how many burners you want... The salesman will probably give you some 200 blank CD-Rs as a gift if you buy from him instead of the competitor across the corridor
We need a company that is as creative as Apple to make a desktop for Linux. Or Apple should try making a desktop for Linux in addition to there present products.
And who's gonna pay for that developement? Do you think people are going to pay 150-200usd for a linux desktop?
Sorry, but Google has such a big international user-share that your argument is useless...
I you were talking CNN, well, that would be another story, since CNN is clearly advertised as a provider of news for the US public, however channels that intend to be watched internationally (like BBC News) are always careful about their coverage so as not to alienate their viewers.

I stand corrected! ; )
You know how many airports there are in California?
I would guess there's a landing strip and some "guys with radios" every 10 miles or so ; )
However, the International Air Transport Association gives a 3 letter code to basically everything that the local goverment considers an "airport"

If its less than 12 hours, then this is definetely unusable!

If someone wants to patent it, any of the competing mouse manufacturers can point to this discussion as "prior art"
well, wouldnt it be more practical (and more on the "cordless spirit") to put the mouse on its cradle while the computer power's off?
Same as your palm... you recharge it while you sleep (you do sleep, don't you?)
Well, is it the old Drunken Master movie with a young Jackie Chan, or the newer Drunken Master movie with an older Jackie Chan?
