Social Security does not pay medical expenses. It only pays for retirement and disability. Disability would compensate for lost wages but it would not directly pay for medical expenses. Medicare is what pays for medical expenses if the person is old enough. Your story is interesting but that part doesn't make sense.
To me it sounds like your wife definitely deserves disability compensation. Unfortunately the United States doesn't have universal health care but mainly ties health coverage to a person's job. Your story shows how someone can fall through the cracks even though they have worked hard their entire lives.
So, who should get treatment first? Two patients, exactly the same disease, in exactly the same stage. One is a famous surgeon and the other is a mentally ill homeless person. Who should be treated first? What if you can treat only one? What now? When you have two things with the same priority FIFO comes to the rescue.
What you just described in no way out-rules the eyewitness account in the news report. So the cowardly Hezbollah moved around? That just reinforces the notion that the Israeli air attacks didn't get the Hezbollah fighters in wilderness.
There have been a few people throughout history who didn't eat anything, but you'll have to do your own research since you have to find your own truth.
One step at a time. You have as many lifetimes as you need. So you believe in magic or reincarnation? Get a clue.
I'm sorry but according to eyewitness accounts Israeli aircraft bombed areas where there was no rocket fire. In the situation reported in the account there was rocket fire outside of town in the wilderness but when the pilot couldn't stop the rocket fire with bombing the wilderness the pilot decided to bomb inside the town where there was no rocket fire.
Israel targeted civilians in Lebanon that had nothing to do with Hezbollah. This is according to eyewitness accounts reported by Australia's investigative journalism program, Four Corners.
About 200 Australians were trapped in Aytaroun as the village was pummelled by Israeli bombs and nearby Hezbollah fighters lobbed rockets onto Israeli towns.
"It's just beyond fear, beyond fear," recalls Sydneysider Michael Ibrahim. Etched into his memory is a dead child, aged two or three, burnt beyond recognition. He helped bury some of the 12 people who were killed in one family when an Israeli jet dropped a bomb in the centre of the village.
Thirty-eight civilians died in Aytaroun. They were among more than 1000 Lebanese people who died in 34 days of war between Israel and Hezbollah. Hezbollah meanwhile fired nearly 4000 rockets into Israel, killing 43 civilians.
It is possible to find entire episode on the Internet if you look hard.
People think that they got their morals from their religion because they haven't actually read the so-called morality of the Bible. Current day people (1) don't follow the barbaric morality of the Bible and (2) follow the good morality in the Bible that was stolen from secular morality.
The original submitter missed something. The illustration in the summary has nothing to do with the example in the article. The illustration is a completely separate example illustrating multicasting using network coding.
The example in the article has 6 nodes (A,B,...,F) and 7 links (1,2,...,7). You can reconstruct the topology based on the textual information in the article. The links are 1:(A,C) 2:(A,E) 3:(B,E) 4:(B,D) 5:(E,F) 6:(F,C) 7:(F,D).
What evidence do you have that Democrats have committed voter fraud? Even Bush appointed prosecutors weren't able to find a pithy of voter fraud. When they didn't deliver on the supposed wide spread voter fraud they were fired.
Actually the way that First Amendment is interpreted by the Supreme Court is that religions get special protection by the government. Priests don't have to report people if they know they are committing crimes and religious organizations can discriminate against people when hiring even for nonreligious jobs.
Are you sure you wouldn't use the law to get rid of a guy who picketed in front of your church accused your religious leaders of crimes and saying things that offended your religion? All religions have a way too much control on our government. We can't clean up government until we end religion with rationality.
New York City has plenty of slums that you could live in. Just admit that you are embarrassed to get off the train at an unsavory stop or rub shoulders with the wrong crowd.
Sorry to rain on that parrade, but the (variants of) "IPv6 is secure because it's a 64 bit space and noone will ever guess your address" sound... surrealistic. It's security by obscurity of the worst kind. The kind that can't possibly work. Actually it uses 128-bit addresses. Not that I agree that security through obscurity is a good thing.
In most Bittorent clients you can configure what ports they use. If you have admin rights on a firewall app/router then you configure that too. Network researchers have a problem with NAT because it does routing by changing and relying on certain values in upper layer protocols such as TCP and UDP. Firewalls don't necessarily do this so they are not frowned on the way NAT is.

Thailand Sues YouTube

· Score: 1
Oh, come on. Most Americans know where Thailand is. Stop the unnecessary America bashing. Our current leaders are shit but we know where Thailand is.
I agree with some of your points but where I differ is that I don't think the people insulting the king are really arguing that the king is bad. They are just demonstrating their support of freedom of speech, albeit in an offensive way.
That person uses emotional arguments and then says that freedom of speech is a privilege. Freedom of speech is an inalienable right, not a privilege. Sure, with rights comes responsibility (don't libel, slander, threaten or *physically* endanger someone with your words). Anything short of that is perfectly alright. His other arguments about how great Thailand is or his advice that we should be good representatives of the United States are irrelevant to the question of freedom of speech.

Whatever you are describing is a separate case.
Don't insinuate that I'm angry. Reread what I said. There is no anger there.

Sir, you travel in small circles. Also, I bet you have meet a wide variety of atheists that you didn't know were atheists.
The point is that network coding more fully utilizes network capacity and it is just as reliable or more reliable than traditional network routing.

Can Christians really disown half of the Bible? Is the Bible the word of God or not?

Good point. Sometimes practicality gets lost in my abstract arguments.

I don't really care about Apple or Greenpeace. I just hate when Slashdot discussions are degraded by the use of dishonest debate tactics.
