What about the opposite problem? Doctor performs a procedure in his office which includes the use of a $100 disposable device. Medicare pays him $35 for that procedure. Doctor either eats that difference, or chooses not to see Medicare patients.
This is a red herring. If they are looking to save money, look at the lawyers, insurance companies, and drug companies.
"We can reduce the size of the haystack when we are looking for that one-in-a-billion terrorist," said TSA Administrator John Pistole.
Wow.
So if there's 7 Billion people in the world, then... there are only 7 people we need to find. Wow we're wasting a lot of time, money, and resources at the airports.
There is already a game where you build with lego-like-but-not-lego blocks. It's called Blockland and it's cool. Although it isn't massive, it is multiplayer...
This is a great argument - blame the user. "It would be fine, but the user doesn't want to learn how to edit config files using pico." It seems at times like the LinuxElite have disdain for anyone not sufficiently geeky to use Linux. It's like some right of passage or something.
Linux has been struggling with the end-user since I started using it about 10 years ago. It has barely made any progress in the past 5 or 6 years in terms of usability.
Linux fans have consistently said 'Oh, it's almost there' - for the past 7 or 8 years. Well, it's not. As far as I'm concerned, Linux is the only solution for running a server or the geekelite, but for a regular end-user, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone [well, maybe my worst enemy].
If you can afford to, find a prof doing something interesting and volunteer to work for the summer. Not only do you get to [hopefully] work on something cool, but you get to know more about the department and who you might want to work with or take classes from [and who you want to avoid].
I did this and it lead to [paid!] employment in a research-y position for the remaining summers of my undergrad and through my masters. This led directly to my first Real Job - and look at me now!
I think, workwise, it was the best decision I've ever made.
My problem with it is that when I submitted several books [example] and took the time to write synopses, they stole the descriptions [and picture I might add] from amazon.
I live in Europe. Like you I wouldn't have expected the type of CDs that I buy to have this kind of thing - that's why I didn't check. I thought this kind of things was limited to crap like Britney Spears and other 'top 40'-type stuff.
I just bought 'Massive Attack - 100th Window' not even thinking it would have this 'copy protection' stuff. I own > 500 CDs and I'm used to just seeing a title I want and buying it. I don't read the 'fine print'.
It's the first time I've encountered this 'copy protection' and I must say, I'm kinda pissed off. I think non-CDs like this should be displayed seperately - otherwise it's deceiving the customer.
Yes I could figure out a way to play it on my Linux box, but I shouldn't have to fuck around in order to play the music I just bought.
Actually, I am interested in this. I did some computational linuguistics work while I was doing my BSc/MSc and really enjoyed it.
You should also have mentioned your [?] interesting website fieldmethods.net as a good source for exploring all things NLP [which I thought referred to Neuro-Linguisitc Programming when I first saw it...].

"It is a real feeling of triumph, to be able to pick over this rubbish and then to debunk it bit by bit."
It was kind of a... triumph of the will.

(I am not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV.)
I'm confused.
License plate /= registration data
How do you divide a license plate by registration data? (And you're missing a semicolon, so it won't compile anyways.)

The most important question is: What happens to the poll questions?
Thanks & good luck Rob!
...because sex and swearing are leading to the downfall of society. Not greed and corruption.
Wonder what it tastes like?

Start draining - you can do it now with Blockland!
Or, as a friend likes to say when some tells him they're offended by something:
"Why do you choose to be offended?"
Like this erotic colouring book?

How about "because I need to do development on both Mac OS X and Windows and I don't want to lug around two laptops"?

...and then explain RMS insisting on calling it GNU/Linux.

Go figure.
My problem with it is that when I submitted several books [example] and took the time to write synopses, they stole the descriptions [and picture I might add] from amazon.
This is uncool.

I guess I will have to check from now on though.

Oh well. Off I go to return it.
They actually had a nuke program before the US politely asked them to stop.
Now I can get the fancy advertising...

From the rousing response, I would guess not.
int main( int, char** )

printf( "Can you define exactly what you mean\n" );
printf( "by 'Overspecialization'?\n" );
return( 0 );
