It is also about going into a third world junkyard and getting a local mechanic to fix the thing when it's broken. The article mentions how that many of the expensive neonatal incubators end up not being used because they either don't know how to operate it, or can't fix it five years later, when it breaks down.
I am curious how, in terms of effectiveness and quality this stacks up to what we have in America, but, in some places, they have no other options.
It could have been a d20. I'm usually sad when I roll a 7 on one of those.

The placebo effect is real, but with a couple of caveats.
It works well for subjective criteria. for example, take a pill, and if someone asks "do you feel better"? The answer is more likely to be yes.
The placebo affect also accounts for outcomes that result from changes in behavior. for example, someone who begins receiving medical treatment sometimes begins taking better care of him or herself. She may start getting more excecise, eating better, and generally doing things that would have very real effects on the body.
If it were optional, then why not just develop it into a business model and offer it to everybody? The fact that they are bypassing the consumer tells me that the consumer will ultimately have no say in the issue.
I am old enough to have lived in an area both before and after drugs entered the neighborhood.
And flat out once drugs infest a neighborhood it is a terror justifying Draconian measures of almost limitless extent to stomp out any degree of illegal drug use. If we had a choice of exterminating 20 million Americans to only wipe out half of all illegal drug use I would vote to open the death camps and lite up the ovens.
You just have to live around the dead babies, flying bullets, and better class 13 year olds turned hooker to get their fix to understand.But if you ever live it you will hate drug users worse than Charles Bronson with a fresh box of ammo.
But aspirin remains legal to this day. I've tried to warn my local congressman what an affect analgesics have had on madeupville, but they wouldn't listen.
Edit: We went to moon with engineers and scientists who did not have computers - when they were in school.
And if they had to do it again today, they would use computers. The fact is that there are plenty of examples throughout our history of self-taught men who never spent a day in school. Does that mean we should just close down the schools and buy our kids a copy of "hooked on phonics"?
I had a similar thought, but we're not talking about WorldNetDaily or Matt Drudge...

China continued to be world's worst jailer of journalists, a dishonor it has held for 10 consecutive years.
The article goes on to mention other countries, such as Cuba. So, in the most oppressive nations on Earth, people saying illegal things do it on the internet, instead of television or radio...
It doesn't seem very surprising when put in that context...
Cutting out school days would only worsen the problem. Then you'd have fewer qualified teachers willing to work for the money. Parents would get angry, non-parents wouldn't take any more notice than normal, and politicians would continue to promise to do something about it and then claim there just isn't enough budget to kill people in Iraq and support the school system, too.
Why don't we hire the iraqis to teach our children? That would kill two birds with one stone. And if you really want them dead, well, it's a public school. Just give it time.
Coincidentally, ANOTHER report came out recently showing how public workers get more work done, are more efficient, and effective the the private sector contractors.
Can you find that report? I would honestly like to see it.
Cars not only have personalities, they have souls! Every morning I beseech the machine spirit of my car to start the engine and have it run smoothly and reliably. It's worked so far.
Not mine. It's an atheist. It doesn't believe in gods or drivers.
Many of the smaller organizations I have worked for have had their IT responsibilities filled by one office worker who just happened to have an interest in computers. I.E. an engineer who knows how to configure a wireless router, or something like that. If you can figure out a way to get your foot in the office door, for some other purpose, like being a receptionist or some other kind of clerk, and you have the skills, and the patience, and get lucky, then you might.
But you shouldn't expect the big bucks. The reason such companies don't look for the IT specialists is because they are trying to get by on a shoestring budget. You would be daisy chaining $50 routers and fixing jammed printers for $8-10 per hour.
I personally would suggest either
Get a couple of certifications and volunteer to help at some non-profit organization. Once you can say "I was the sysadmin at the national foundation of yada yada", then you might be able to springboard into a job that pays a little bit more. This is unlikely to get you more than a factory worker's salary, but at least you can live your life doing something you love. OR...
Just get the damn degree. The only way you're ever going to get anywhere in life is if you either know the right people, or bust your ass trying. You obviously don't know the right people, so be prepared to put in some long hours.
TFA says that people are sticking with XP because of compatibility problems. Now, if businesses are to move away from Windows, you will have to prove to them that their old software is more likely to run on Linux/Wine, than on Windows Vista.
The question is, how does wine compare to Vista in terms of compatibility with older versions of Windows?
A slightly better analogy would be, if you asked a person to listen to hours of 64kps mp3s, then played a 128kps mp3 and asked the listener if it was a low quality or high quality mp3, and counted it wrong when the listener said "It's better than what I had, so I'll say 'high quality'"
Isn't davezilla's site an example of parody? Also, IANAL, but isn't it legal to infringe on a copyright or a trademark for parody reasons?
For that matter, most advertisements that use Godzilla do so ironically. None of them are saying "eat at subway, we're cool like godzilla" or "shop at crazy larry's. We're Godzilla endorsed!". So, couldn't most of them be considered parody?
A solitary human being, raised in isolation, is not more more capable than a Neanderthal. This same human being will also be very maladjusted and unhappy, and thus not display "normal" behavior.
A young guy isn't hired because HR prefers older people, so he sues
An older guy goes to the interview and his boss asks the question mentioned, then the older guy does not get the job. To him, it is going to look like an age discrimination case. Even if he doesn't have a leg to stand on, it can still be costly, and can still lead to some negative P.R.
This reminds me of a job interview I went on, once. It was about four hours away from where I live, and I was considering moving to work there. So, it was an all day interview, and during lunch, one of the interviewers asked me about my religion. Being an atheist, I felt that, if that was going to be a problem, it would be better to know BEFORE i decided to pick up everything and move to a new city, so I told them.
I never heard from this company again. I didn't sue, (don't know if I could have), and can't be sure if that was the reason I didn't get the job, but I'll always have doubts. I think it is worth rewording the age question, just to make sure that the other job applicants don't have to ask themselves similar questions.

This is for use in third world countries where the FDA has no authority.

If you think that actually means you'll get chicks then I suggest you remember where it is that you are posting ;)
Yeah, but "four girls for the football player who used to beat you up" just isn't as catchy.

Fantastic!
Imaginary things are now real!
Imaginary people now have all the rights of real people!
And real people have all the rights formerly reserved for imaginary people...

Retrieve oldest preassembled sandwich filling from warm storage and place on support.
mmm, mmm, good!

Thank you for not phrasing that in the form of a "In Soviet Russia" joke.
Doesn't your dealer take discover? Hell, mine gives me bonus points.
Or to put it another way...
If you weren't buying illegal drugs, you would trust me with complete access to all your credit card information, right?
That would be interesting. I wonder if Satan is part of Verizon's "In Network"
This could go either way...
