I had to look up the difference between the two documents. It seems if you request a birth certificate from Hawaii, they send you a short form. Which is what they did in 2007. The arguments that came up centered around it possibly being a fake, which sounds like a stretch. So it does sound like a vast right wing conspiracy, and I have to be reminded that the crooks are on both sides of the isle.
I had to produce a birth certificate for my job, why shouldn't the president? I don't really care about a file clerk in Hawaii. The fact that President Obama kept this secret for so long certainly made me suspicious that he had something to hide. Then there's the fact that a "Constitutional Law Professor" would to blatantly brush off the U.S. Constitution's requirement that the president be a natural born citizen.
Anyways, as I understood it, the same questions existed regarding Mccain's citizenship status. If he'd won, the "Birthers" would be liberal democrats and it would be totally acceptable to question his birth certificate.
My wife goes to a chiropractor that uses one of those. One scan supposedly detects inflammation by measuring surface heat and the other supposedly detects muscle tension by measuring electrical resistance through the skin. It prints out a chart with the various readings and connects each "problem area" to a variety of medical problems. From blurred vision to hang nails, they seem to think that the spine affects everything. It's like reading a horoscope - some medical problem you have will fit in with a red area on the scan. Of course, you'll never get better unless you go twice a week for 'adjustments'. They even do this for newborn babies. Seriously.
Really. I've gone back in to pay for an item that I found in the bottom of the cart, BUT...
For all the time I've waited at the self checkout line for someone to punch the "over 21" button so I could continue scanning my items, I think I might just walk out and consider the bonus earned.
(If we have one of the self checkout software developers here: PLEASE let me continue scanning and require the ID before I pay, instead of halting the entire process.)
Cheaper policies don't have less coverage. They have higher co-pays or higher deductibles. Buy the cheap plan, pay out of pocket for routine care, and make a claim if you get cancer. People want health insurance to pay for everything, which is one of the root problems with health care. It's $125 out of pocket to see a primary care physician. Is that worth an additional $200/month insurance premium? And if basic care was always an out of pocket expense, I'll bet that $125 would drop to a more realistic $60-$80.
It covers everything but has a $8,000 deductible (no deductible for preventative care). The "cadillac plan" is $317/month and has no deductible. The cheaper plan is better if you get sick less than 17 times a year or go more than three years without breaking your leg. Which is most of us.
I don't understand why doctor visits are covered at all. It's like expecting your car insurance company to pay for oil changes. It makes more sense to buy catastrophic illness insurance, bank the difference in an interest bearing account, and pay out of pocket for routine care.
I just checked Kaiser for DC/MD/VA. Base plan for a 25 year old is $113/month - which is actually cheaper than when I had the same policy 10 years ago.
If he's "a decade away" from settling down, health insurance should be cheap to purchase individually. I paid $100/month in my late teens and $150/month in my twenties for an individual single policy. Despite what a certain political party claims, you don't have to be employed by a huge corporation to have health insurance (and it would be even cheaper if that same party would lift their ban on shopping nationally for cheaper policies).
It's still worth buying a blu-ray player. I picked up one at Best Buy for less than $100 that does upsampling DVD, streaming Netflix, Pandora, and a bunch of other stuff. Even without HD discs, it's still a great unit.
I just bought my first Blu-Ray, Tron Legacy, and I'm really not impressed by the picture. On a 47" 1080P LCD it just doesn't look any better than a normal DVD. The main difference is I can't play it on my Linux Media PC.
My point is, you have to be careful who you hire and then give them the resources to get their work done. In corporate IT, users are the customers, not the adversaries.
No dating prospects? Get on eHarmony and meet an elementary school teacher. They have the same problems finding dates that we do. And they're educated, intellectual, dedicated. Attractive. It worked for me - I married one last year.

Would you consider it "stupid shit" if it were President Bush whose eligibility was in question?

I'm surprised he didn't try to sell you an expensive ergonomic coffin.
Where's all that Hope and Change?
Alright, that went to Score 0: Flamebait in five minutes. How about this:
It's Bush's fault!

This is eight minutes of pure awesome.
I think that's reasonable if spent on something motivational.
It should have had a picture of a bum with a 40oz. That would motivate me. Whether to look for a job or drink, I'm not sure which.

I wonder if the capes were made in China.

Good point. Both the player and monitor are supposedly HDCP compliant. How would I know if the handshake failed?
Says some random guy on the internet and... Fox News (sigh).
It's Bush's fault. Or the Tea Party.

Your eloquent response didn't answer the question. Would this prevent someone from running a packet sniffer?
Or perhaps they could have fixed the generators?
Too many nuclear scientists and not enough diesel mechanics.
Would this totalitarian attitude actually prevent someone from plugging in a sniffer, or would it just keep people from getting their work done?
