You made the parent's point: America's medicine *is* socialized, albeit haphazardly. Do we want to release it into the free market?
If you look at the amount of money involved, the problem is not malpractice suits. It's health insurance that incourages both the patient and the doctor to over do it. Why don't people buy generic drugs? Because their insurance is paying for it. Why do OB/GYN run a test for Downs Syndrome in utero? There's nothing they can do about it, (except abortion). They run the test because it's a few extra bucks. The mother to be lets them because it's not her money.
Another problem with health costs? Everyone is guaranteed treatment...but only in an emergency. These emergencies are expensive and the cost is picked up buy those who can afford it. Much of the cost could be alleviated by guaranteeing cheaper preventive medicine to everyone.
If they were named by Greeks then how come the names are Latin?
I'm curious why thy want to name this puny ice ball after a god that sounds bigger than Saturn or Jupiter.
It's called right of resale, and everyone has it. You seem to be under the impression that CleanFlicks is copying movies. A work's creator, on the other hand, does *not* have the right to ensure that every item resaled is in complete or in the original condition. Just goes to show that slashdotters can be as oppressive as anyone when it aint their cause.
How about the atmosphere? When you see those 30 fighters attacking the Death Star, you get this hollow feeling in your stomach, and then they start dying like flies. The music is right, the tension is solid and unbroken, the pilots are average joes fighting impossible odds to save the universe.
Clones, on the other hand, had almost the same scenario, but made it seem like a game. Whoops! I accidentally blew up the droid control ship! And the naboo pilots were just so much trash to be thrown away. There was one moment of tension, and that's when the droid army is deployed and starts firing at the Gungan shield. But Jar Jar ruins the atmosphere by (yet again) accidently blowing up a bunch of droids. Besides, that battle was only a diversion.
I don't know how you read the post, but I was referring to the notion of someone sneaking into a university for free by hacking their admissions system (mentioned in the parent post to my post).
No, it's not. It's tradmark infringement. The Lay-Z-Boy has not had anything stolen. The problem is that people are bying your product thinking that it's Lay-Z-Boy, but it's not. If I started a burger joint with some golden arches in the front, I haven't stolen anything from McDonald's, I am just fooling my customers. Non of this, by the way, has anything to do with copyright infringement.
You mean he actually went into the store and lifted a CD? That sounds like shop lifting, hardly more than a misdemeanor. Or do you mean he copied Wares? Well that's hardly stealing, is it?
Maybe he's a thinking human being with an idea in his head.
Anyway, in a population of abnormally high males, it is advantagious to produce females, which is why they have to keep pumping new fish in the system, and also why it might be considered safer than other methods of fighting the fish.
I just don't see how it could be any simpler than it is. I guess it is so simple that many people just overlook it.
People don't necessarily overlook it, but many, including myself, don't think that because a book says it's the word of God, than it follows that it *is* the word of God.
Something about this is driving me totally crazy: those knowledgable about physics say its "only the phase velocity" blah blah blah "only the peak of the wave" and so on. What I can't understand is, If you can't detect this peak until after enough time has elapsed, then how do you know it really got there faster. And if you *can* detect it when it actually arrives, the how come you can't transfer information with it? (like an on off on off code or something?)
This is the best defense of Ken Starr: the lack of evidence *proves* how ruthless the Clintons were in covering it up.
And the lack of evidence that Bush is a common thief just proves...wait a minute.
had willing accomplices in the media
I wonder if this is the same media that relentlessly attacked Clinton about whitewater year after year? Or maybe you're just talking out of your ass?
and we saw how ethical Clinton was with his presidential pardons
And we also saw how Bush (savior v. 2.0) reneged on his promise to release the pardon info. Could it be that there wasn't really a scandal? Or maybe he didn't want people looking into his poppy's pardon of the Iran Contra thugs, and terrorist Orlando Bosch who blew up an airliner (why would a Bush pardon a plane exploding terrorist?). Or does Jr. want to pardon Ken Lay and Dick Cheney without any prying eyes?
You are a naive buffoon whose got political blinders on. Time to engage that neo-cortex.
What's next, a 15-year anniversary review of "The Last Temptation of Christ?"
I wonder how many upset christians have even read the book, it's pretty good, and I don't think it will destroy your faith. It's just some guy's (a devout christian's) interpretation of the story.

I believe the Shuttle does fly missions for the Pentagon were the cargo is classified etc...
Like wise, if you feel that winning actually matters, than much of some other fun of playing games is beyond you.
Uhhmm, lineage is only the biggest MMORPG in the world, and has millions of followers in korea. Mod parent up please.
Mod parent up, not off topic. Lineag is played by millions of Koreans and dwarfs everquest in number of subscriptions.

ROFL. Mod up parent please.
I like how he thinks in in bad, accented English.
A true virgin birth in a human could only be a girl...wait a minute.
That's my point, you can't do that, but you can do it if you buy 1000 copies first, which is what these guys are doing.

You might consider it stealing, but you're wrong. It's fraud, or tampering with files.

A similar but contagious immunocontraceptive technique is being tested on Aussie rabbits.
If that jumps to humans, we are screwed.

Part of the reason they must have picked him is that "Webb" is kindof a cool name.
I don't know about scorsese, but Nikos Kasantzakis, the author, is (was?) very devout. The book is excellent.
