What you don't know is that this media buzz is all created by NERF and funded by George Morton - who ends up helping to battle the evil ELF all over the world.
Funny thing is, I just finished reading State of Fear yesterday.
Take a minute to toss this one over. Let's say I'm Joe User using Windows, and it keeps crashing on me. Damn, what a piece of shit, I'd say - and maybe I'd go buy a Mac or install Linux or whatnot.
Now let's say I'm Joe User encrypting my e-mail with some homebrew cryptosystem. Everything seems fine from my end, my e-mail is sent, and appears to be seucre, but unbeknownst to me, it's being read by my enemy, Eve, who has defeated this cryptosystem that's hardly been put through the rigors that other cryptosystems in wide production use have.
This is the difference between verified cryptosystems and the things you mention above: Joe User has the capacity to verify Windows or and Intel chip himself, just noticing whether or not the thing works for him, but it takes a pack of mathematicians and computer scientists to verify a cryptosystem and say it's secure for general use.
I'm not saying that competition is bad, but when it comes to information security, I wouldn't use anything that's not already in wide production. I'd feel safer encrypting my data with the same algorithm that banks use to secure their transactions, because I sure as hell know that they have a lot more riding on the security of the algorithm than I do.
PGP is a known secure cryptosystem. Fact of the matter, there is no need for new cryptosystems. We already have PGP, RSA, and Rijndael. All are known secure to the limits of computability. What work really needs to be done is protocol analysis.
This seems to suggest that lyrics are arbitrary. Although, with modern pop music, I wouldn't doubt that.
I guess it means that "There must be some kind of way outta here, said the joker to the thief", doesn't have as much meaning as it once did. Take THAT hippies.
When considering the source of the success of Ashlee Simpson, you really need to consider the success of ProTools. Once people found out that she really sounds like someone beating a baby with a cat, she gets booed off stage.
someone please mod parent up. a less-than-competent friend of mine tried to get me on his ipod scam list but when i tried to explain to him some of the mathematics behind pyramid schemes, he just denied it. sigh.
That's why I trade supermarket "coupon" cards whenever I get a chance. It is better than avoiding the cards because trading has the potential to poison the data collection.
yeah you must really be psyching those evil supermarket dudes out!
if you're willing to offer it for free to your neighbors, i salute your nobility. however, it may be worth your while to come to some kind of informal agreement with your neighbors (they make you cookies once a month or something like that). this country needs more friendly things like that.
i'd call it the Food for IP program. like food for oil, but not corrupt.
hahaha i like that flash. google r teh evil.
the new york times offline - that will be the day
i especially liked "googlezon", and the pseudo-lawrence-fishbourne narrator.
It's ok, man. I feel your pain. But at least we still have the White House and the Congress, and hopefully soon the Supreme Court. I laugh when I wonder what they're going to throw at us in '08. Clinton/Obama? Yeah, right.
Sigh. Your post makes me cringe. It's HIPAA: Health Information Privacy and Accountability Act.
Unrelated, but the project described in the article is going to fail. Here's why.
HIPAA is a real bitch. You're going to need an attorney practically on staff to work with the developers in planning this product.
How are you going to input existing records into the EMR suite? OCR? Hire a typist (consult your attorney again)?
Transmitting personally identifiable health information over the internet? Great idea! HIPAA again.
Doctors will pay for this...why? What, with doctors having to pay tons in malpractice insurance these days, they're really sticklers for cash. Really, though, doctors are really cheap.
Integrating claims? Hope you are up to speed on HL7 and Z-Modem. HL7-XML is still in working group, and don't expect a release for at least another 5 years. Also, good luck with Medicare/Medicaid claims, really, if you can do it, let me know how.
Going with the ASP model - well that's wonderful. What happens when the office's DSL goes down? Looks like they can't serve patients anymore. Oh well.
Private practice and hospitals? Impressive. I sure hope you're going to integrate medical instrument interfaces to this product, or why would a hospital use it?
Any EMR worth its weight is going to have to integrate both ICD-9-CM and CPT. If you don't know what these mean, give up now. ICD-9-CM is free, but CPT is commercial. Last time I checked, around $200 per license. Planning on distributing CPT codes within the product? Good luck with that one, too. Unless, of course, you want physicians' offices to manually input their CPT codes into the system ( all 5,000+ of them ).
Just my short list of why you're not going to make money selling software to the medical industry.
Heck, a lot of people don't even separate the "web browser" as something that is distinct. They think of the web as the Internet, their monitor as their computer, their case as their hard drive, etc.
Reading your post opened a lot of old wounds. While I'm thankful I don't work support anymore, I'll be sending you the bill for my therapy.

Don't laugh - it happens. MSSQL is 'spensive, and for an all-windows environment that needs a database - MySQL wins the prize.
/took your comment too seriously

PHIARPHOCKS You should not have had to download this MS tool in the first place.
"I don't know anything about [Insert issue here], but I'm voting for this guy because he's out to help me."
How about:
"I don't know anything about John Kerry, but I'm voting for this guy because he's not George Bush."
lmao pwned.

That is scary. I'm half expecting him to start unbuttoning his shirt and rubbing his nipples.
Yeech. I'd rather see Steve Ballmer's man-tits.

Yeah, me, Jack, and Ronny all had a good time with that.

Perhaps, but probably not in our lifetimes. This is the holy grail of modern mathematics.

This is why the linux kernel needs a breathalyzer driver.

We already have Ritalin. Is this one closely related to methamphetamine, too?
debasement of human existence in order to "treat" a "disease" that's just an excuse for bad parenting.
that's because you went to suprnova.com or suprnova.net - suprnova.org is free as in beer.
Ha ha ha - great sig. I've gotta find that animation now...haven't watched it in years.
What is the point of this? I mean really, who is going to try to knock over a stamp machine. It's not exactly an ATM.
