Doc, don't try to defend your entire profession! Remember the joke, "What do they call the man at the bottom of his med school class?"... Well, he's still a doctor. Not all of them have their scruples. My family doctor gave me Accutane cream the first time I ever asked him what to do about zits when I was a kid (maybe 12), and when I turned into a teenage migraineur, he skipped suggesting Excedrin and a chiropractor, glossed right over Imitrex and plopped 10mg Percocet down on his prescription pad. That was probably 14 or so. He died that year of heart failure.
My new doc? I remember going there in high school with colds and he'd just tell me to go home and take it easy, no antibiotics, nada. As a result, my adult immune system's pretty damn strong. This guy's the exact opposite of my first family doc.
Who knows. My parents house had a unique ZIP+4, you can just write it big on an envelope, throw a stamp on it and mail it, and it would arrive to their mailbox. If you gave them a return address, however, you got it back with a machine generated message "UNABLE TO DELIVER AS ADDRESSED" with no reason why.
I had an internship with the DOT in high school, and we pretty much had to insert every envelope into a typewriter because all mail had to be machine readable. That means all caps, no punctuation except for the comma between city and state, and the state damn well better be capitalized and the zip has to be right or it's coming back. If you put a certified mail sticker on in the wrong place, it's coming back. Two cents off on the postage? It's coming back.
I've got an iPhone 3G now, but before that, I had an AT&T Tilt (HTC TyTN II) that, when all you fanbois were stuck in 2G world without any GPS, had HSPA and a much better GPS than the iPhone has. Oh, and I had TomTom back then too, because I didn't have to wait for Pope Jobs to approve my heresy.
Apple, on the other hand, would be happy to have the success of RIM.
My VW doesn't care about the clutch being in OR the transmission being in neutral - you can use the starter to smash out the car in front of you in the parking lot.
Now the drive-by-wire? Any funkyness in input or measured output (throttle angle), and bam, I'm on the side of the road.
Did Vista ever report battery issues? I don't believe it did, as my Ubuntu installation has always told me my battery was shot, the Windows partition, come to think of it, didn't until just recently. It must have been when I upgraded to 7!
Maybe all these people whining about their batteries being shot just upgraded?
Not when a lawsuit is dismissed voluntarily without prejudice. Essentially, no judgement was made on the main points of the case, so there's no precedent to be set.
Or would you? A righty's gonna put a watch on his left wrist, that's much easier than the converse. Then, try to fire with their right hand.
I guess I'm lucky. I'm a righty, but left eye dominant, so shoot left handed. Guess this wouldn't bother me, if I didn't have to use the shitty-looking watch that comes with it.
You missed the adverbial phrase, "when it comes to broadband and high-speed telecom.
I'll explain the metaphor, also. The People paid for the infrastructure (via taxes, for some of it anyway). "The People" control it, too, well, as private corporations. But they're sure dictatorial. If Verizon Wireless lowers minute buckets on their plans, AT&T follows. They might as well be part of the government, considering the lobby dollars. Indirectly, the government laid the infrastructure, and sets price on how much you will pay to traverse that infrastructure. Commie bastards.
Not that I'm backing them up, but just a measly 5 years ago, the most a phone could suck down the pipe was about 300kbps, tops. And nobody had phones that did that; a call only takes up 8-13. Now, they're sapped by phones like mine that can pull up to 7.2Mbit, and a LOT more people using data.
What makes a '70s car nerdy? I could make a venturi tube (think carburetor) when I was in 3rd grade. Six injectors, a continuous-feedback fuel control system, servo controlled throttle body for drive by wire?
Nah, my MY2000's a lot more fun to screw with. I'm pretty sure I could tear down just about any simple-as-pie 70's muscle car like a tinkertoy in a day and a half. In high school.
Counseling for what? The trauma of being accused of being a bomber? I hope that's what it is, and not the fact that the kid has a hobby and was showing it off to kids.
When I was in middle school, the school got evacuated because of a kid with a CD player in his locker. It was on pause, and the CD was in kinda crooked, making a faint ticking sound. They definitely didn't even bother to ask the kid, because he was in the same class as me (gym, mind you, so we were stuck standing outside in shorts in 30F weather. And no, sonny, walking to your house across the street is NOT okay), and got hauled off by the cops.
In the same middle school, I pretty much was all the teachers' techie. As a result, I had the admin password to all the classroom computers. My last year there I was suspended for knowing the password (even though the teachers tried to defend me).
Really think I'll be homeschooling my own children. Had I been this kid's dad, I'd have popped that vice principal square in the teeth.
I had a number with 666 in it. So did the hospital, and believe you me a six year old is not equipped to handle a woman panicking because she's having a heart attack.
When I was in high school, I quite stereotypically worked at McDonald's. To this day, whenever I eat there, I can tell you EXACTLY what is happening in the kitchen. Someone really paid attention to make sure no function requiring human attention in that kitchen had the same sound.
Sometimes, if some jerkoff called off and you were stuck back in the kitchen alone, it was MADDENING. You absolutely are more aware of a loud, high pitched beep than a voice telling you to do something
The gerund "gating" is not a verb with a tense, it is in fact an infinitive. By itself, it is a noun. To make a present tense verb out of it, one must attach a properly-conjugated form of 'to be', either present or past tense: '[is, are, am, was, were] $gerund'
Romance languages, on the other hand, mark their verbs liberally (and it's a bitch to get used to!): In Spanish, "dadmelos" is a command, "You guys give them to me!"
I'm home on break, staying at my parent's house. They're the type with hand sanitizer everywhere. Every sink. Stepmom carries it with her. Wash your hands before you eat, after you pet the dog, after you clean your room, etc. Spare antibiotics abound in the medicine cabinet from not finishing them before.
The whole house is ALWAYS sick. I haven't had even the/sniffs/ in 5 years, and the last time I did, I waited until the docs had to keep me in the ER because I had gotten sepsis. I took my whole bottle of antibiotics like I was told.
Well, your argument isn't made any better by saying saying that I have no credibility with such gusto. Alcohol is cheap (given the alternatives, anyway). Not only that, but we give alcoholics big hugs, rides to AA meetings, call it a "disease", and don't throw them in jail (unless, of course, they drive). Nobody gets arrested for buying booze and drinking themselves into oblivion, and if you look at the levels of risk, alcohol's up there with heroin.
But then again, coca comes from South and Central America, marijuana from Mexico, heroin from Arab states, and most alcohol consumed here? The good 'ol USA. Can't put those guys out of business.

...with more personal freedom.
Have you had your morning coffee yet? Did'ja eplace it with crack?
And if it's REALLY "Man and his dog" teams, they're in luck!

But Windows Mobile was out on cellular devices LONG before iPhoneOS or Android ever was...
So Microsoft is copying Apple and Google who are copying Microsoft. I'm not even a programmer and I can make infinite loops!

So I wonder who would take the accident liability on that one?

Huh? The TomTom app for iPhone is 1GB. My Garmin's map update is 4. I could fit that map 4 times over on my iPhone.
You dont have to pay, just have good enough Karma =)
You got your gerund right, but not the other two. It's analyze. I'm not sure what analize is, but I'm sure some drug traffickers could tell you.

Hell, they get the second X from Dad, so it's his fault she's a girl anyway!

You do know its only in there so you're less likely to take 5 of em to really enjoy your "pain relief"?
Thats the only reason I could think of. OTOH, percodans work great for the killer headaches i get (oxycodone and ibuprofen).
I'm home on break, staying at my parent's house. They're the type with hand sanitizer everywhere. Every sink. Stepmom carries it with her.
