Change the law so that the phone companies bill the caller, not the callee. Make it prohibitively expensive to do it, and the problem will solve itself.
Seems like all the solutions involve getting the carriers to give a shit about the problem.
Since we're getting way off-topic, W5921XD refers to the subsequent encounter at the hospital, not by the turtle.So, if you need a follow-up visit for some reason, that's the code they use.
And way, way off topic:V91.07 - burn due to water-skis on fire.
1)That the FBI/informants came up with the plan, they avoid this by asking the suspect how would they want to commit the crime or simply let them share their plans.
Take the Stinger missile defendant James Cromitie... Mr. Hussain proposed the idea of using missiles, saying he could get them in a container from China. Mr. Cromitie laughed. It took 11 months of meandering discussion and a promise of $250,000 to lead him,... to plant fake bombs at two Riverdale synagogues.
2)The FBI/informants persuaded the suspect to commit the crime, they simply facilitate the crime not coax the person into committing it.
When an Oregon college student, Mohamed Osman Mohamud, thought of using a car bomb to attack a festive Christmas-tree lighting ceremony in Portland, the F.B.I. provided a van loaded with six 55-gallon drums of “inert material,” harmless blasting caps, a detonator cord and a gallon of diesel fuel to make the van smell flammable. An undercover F.B.I. agent even did the driving, with Mr. Mohamud in the passenger seat.
3)The person was not ready and willing to commit the crime before FBI involvement, again they just give the opportunity.
Typically, the stings initially target suspects for pure speech — comments to an informer outside a mosque, angry postings on Web sites, e-mails with radicals overseas — then woo them into relationships with informers
The same soldiers who followed an illegal order into Iraq? The same soldiers who follow illegal orders to abduct, torture, and hold without charge people, including American citizens? The same soldiers who follow illegal orders to execute anyone declared an unlawful combatant? Need I go on?
That's my problem with it. I have a previous generation Momentus XT 500GB, and you described what I want it to do. Sure, it's great that the cache learns what you're doing, but I rarely do the same thing repetitively. Some days I'm running VMs, some days I'm working on video, some days I'm just messing around on the web. If I could tweak to say "optimize for boot time" or "optimize for application loading" and tell it what to keep in the cache, that would be great.
If we could look at it like a traditional HD with a small, dedicated SSD, that would be ideal. Just let me tell it what to put on the SSD and leave it alone.
I think that's kind of the point. Eight million people were affected by 9/11. What possible sort of disaster, natural or otherwise, could necessitate notifying everyone from Alaska to Hawaii, California, Texas, Florida, Maine and Minnesota? I can see maybe a huge earthquake needing notification of the entire West Coast, but at that scale, what are the odds that the radio station towers will still be operational?
That would be a useful addition to the Tom's test: cross-platform performance (although adding the test suite to Windows 7/Vista/XP/OS X/Ubuntu would make the test much bigger).

Most of the current global land ice mass is located in the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets (table 1). Complete melting of these ice sheets could lead to a sea-level rise of about 80 meters, whereas melting of all other glaciers could lead to a sea-level rise of only one-half meter.
So a 15% melting should show a 12m rise in ocean level.
Measurements gathered by tide gauges through the 20th century show that global sea level rose at an average rate of 1.7 mm per year – this translates to about two-thirds of an inch per decade. Satellite altimeter data gathered from 1993 to 2003 indicate that the rate of global average sea level rise increased to 3.1 mm per year, or about one and a quarter inches per decade.
There has been an 18 cm rise since 1900, and the rate of rise is increasing.

One of my favorites is T63.192A: "Toxic effect of venom of other reptiles, intentional self-harm, initial encounter"
But, as silly as these seem, there are already codes to cover the category in ICD-9. The turtle attack correlates to "Other specified injury caused by animal" excluding dogs, rats, snakes and lizards, etc. Similarly, "Accidents occurring in music hall" comes from the existing code "Accidents occurring in public building". So calm down with the government overreaching attitude that I'm sure will prevail in this thread. Being able to say "Other contact with turtle, initial encounter" versus "Other contact with turtle, subsequent encounter" may seem unnecessary, but to medical coders, it's not.

Half of 16% is 8%. The quote says " 16.3% having used alcohol or drugs, with half them (them being the 16 percent )high on marijuana"
But the concept of a voluntary, no consequences roadside survey would seem sketchy to me, and most likely skew results one way or the other.
And just imagine if Bin Laden had a pacemaker. We wouldn't even need to go in, except to get the body.

There needs to be a name for this situation, like a Prisoner's Dilemma, or something.

Or, take the Republican standpoint: if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
They could take a lesson from IKEA and ship the parts to build the car to the U.S. It would be one hell of a big box, though.
