Low wages are the issue here, but more indirectly. I'm assuming that the reason for the disparity in pricing is that India doctors don't have to worry about malpractice insurance. If that's the case then that implies that it's hard to sue them for malpractice.
And what recourse would he (or, rather, his next of kin) have had if he'd died as a result of a botched operation? At least here he (they) could take legal action against the surgeon or hospital without costly enduring hotel or phone bills.
I don't know what they called it in the stage show, but in the movie the Starfighter is not the name of the ship. The ship is called a Gunstar. The being who fires the weapon systems of a Gunstar is called a Starfighter.
(And the pilot of a Gunstar is called a Starnavigator)
There were lots of hidden puzzles contained in the pictures on the site. Every week there has been at least one set of wav files that are not on the main site and for which there are no coordinates. By solving the puzzles, the beekeepers could determine the names of the hidden files for all to hear. Some of the puzzles were real stumpers. For instance there was a huge list of prepositions and no one could figure out what it meant. It turned out the answer was the one preposition that was missing: upon. The name of the relevant wave file was a_pawn.wav.
Except that nowhere in this entire game are we encouraged to purchase the item it's related to. You can view the entire thing as a free piece of (good) science-fiction, no strings attached. You only need to get as involved as you want. In this day and age, you only need one person to decode the message (which doesn't even require you to send away for a chintzy ring) and post the results online. And with this game, most of the posting is done by the game itself.

Star Wars TV Show

Anyone remember "Droids," the cartoon centered around Artoo and Threepio's latter-day adventures? It was pretty good, at least compared to "Ewoks." I think a new Star Wars show could have potential.
Humans learn by doing and playing as well. After that old geezer talks for a while, he lets the kids try what it was he was talking about. Those who are intrigued by the subject (unlike cats humans have numerous options that might or might not engage them) will also practice it in their spare time. They'll seek out situations in which they can use it, and people whom they can emulate.
Just make sure you don't get the "cleaned up" version I recently saw, where all the mild sexual content and semi-bad words are cut out. It's not even that those parts add that much to the movie, but the edits were bad and jarring.
Okay, it's not much of a comment, but with a name like mine how can I NOT post in this thread?
Speakers, bah! I'm looking for a way to turn plants - say, all the trees in my garden - into microphones, so I can eavesdrop (leavesdrop?) on people who might be plotting against me. Anyone who knows how to do this should email dsidious@imperialpalace.coruscant.gov.
But by removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, such a device would cause more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation.
Oh, no... Melissa is hunting for the Assassin so when she's "wide awake and physical" tomorrow, she'll be able to take her out quickly and get on with more important things.
You said it. Sendai eyes are notorious for depth-perception defects and warranty hassles, among other things. They're illegal in England, Denmark, lots of places. You can't replace nerves.
The more we eviscerate funding for human space flight, the longer the time before we have self-sufficient human settlements. Why spend tons of money now? Because there may not be a chance to spend it later.
Establishing human outposts off of the earth is the only justification for human spaceflight, and it's the only one we need.

"That's a nice StarCraft server you have set up there. Be a shame if anything happened to it."
Honestly, that's what I thought when I read "extortion" and "online gaming."

I might just as well die as go under the knife of someone who wouldn't have to suffer any consequences for gross negligence or incompetence.

Word to the wise: don't make this virutal world too perfect. Entire crops could be lost.

Heck, I have full use of all my limbs and I can't play Pong with 70% accuracy. Maybe I should get these implants.
... keep making jokes. That'll win the election.

Unless they're working in a military prison.
I'm offering my first-born son for the holodeck.
Perhaps NOW America's enemies will listen to Reason.
Dat's da joke.
I don't watch the show anymore but that doesn't meant that I can't recommend that no one else watch it either.
