The problem is that people who don't pay for routine medical care don't die. Instead they get *major* medical care and thus cost the system a lot more. You car example would match more if what happened if a person refused to go to work because the transportation cost too much then the work would be forced to charter a helicopter for them.
I agree this also happened to me when I went to an out-of-network doctor (I had reasonable health insurance at that time). He immediatly knocked a great deal off the bill because he knew the insurance company would not do it.
Nice but it would be really better if you could post some details (cost and coverage and deductables, etc).
Though the people saying "I lost my insurance" are much worse at refusing to post the reason the insurance was cancelled, or posting actual costs/benifits from before/after, it appears supporters of Obamacare seem to do the same thing sometimes.
I agree this (single payer) is the likely result in the long run.
I have to say I am absolutely disgusted with the right wing. They have taken an idea from the Heritage Institute to use capitalism which may have worked (it may have failed as well but at least we would have tried) and made it now politically impossible. If they get in office and repeal Obamacare the result will be so obviously awful that there will be a fix very soon afterwards. And the left will use all the arguments that the Tea Party came up with to say that private companies cannot be used (because the mandate is unconstitutional, etc) and it will be a government service just like all European countries use.
Yes healthcare is cheaper in Europe, but that does not mean it is the best system. A regulated competitive market should do better because competition leads to innovation and reduced cost. But we will probably never see it tried, thanks to the fanatics in the right wing. Thanks a lot, assholes.
Can you please post the reason the insurance was cancelled? What part of Obamacare regulations did it not fulfill?
This whole discussion is full of shills on every side. I believe insurance was cancelled, but every time somebody says it was they do not say the reason. This leads everybody else to say "well it probably only covered hangnails", which is certainly false. But I am also suspicious that in all these Slashdot postings saying "Obama took away my insurance" I have NEVER seen the reason an insurance was cancelled, except for one post that said "my employer refused to pay the cadillac tax" which is not something likely to be mentioned on Fox News.
I believe there are screwups all around. Some of the regulations the left wing forced into Obamacare are probably silly and excessive and causing unhelpful cancellations, but there is a distinct refusal to post exactly what is wrong.
The main app is aware that it is executing the file dialog program, they are talking to each other (probably just by using a pipe). Therefore the app can tell the file dialog that it lost focus, or (more likely) it can just stay in a modal state where the user cannot change things until they dismiss the file dialog.
There are TV's and Amps that will do that adjustment for you (check for a button marked "loudness"). No need to unreversably process the input signal when your equipment could do it for you.
The Unix philosophy would help with the file dialogs. They should be a separate executable, at least for simple ones that are in a floating window. Then all the toolkits could share them. More importantly people could write new and better file dialogs. Also the common one could share a daemon that kept track of preview icons, etc.
FLTK was tiny, but more than 50% of the code was for the file chooser dialog.
No you cannot use toStdString and fromStdString as they do not use UTF-8 but attempt to use the "locale". Also even if you set it to UTF-8 the throw exceptions on invalid encodings, making them impossible to use safely (since the exceptions are rare enough that code is not written to handle them).
Interesting. That does sound like a bug (verses a design decision, it is usually clear which is which in Blender even though for most people the end result is no different). I always use the button on a pen to be the middle mouse button, the inability to do this in some software like Maya I find annoying.
Another bug is that it is impossible to do some actions in the timeline when left button is set to select.
Changing the left button to select does not change what the middle mouse button does. I have used Blender in this arrangement and have no problem.
IMHO the few remaining 3D programs that do not use middle mouse button for rotating the viewport are broken. All 2D software, and all non-professional 3D viewing software, use the middle mouse button for panning/tumble. Blender works correctly here and it is the big Maya/etc that have the user-unfriendly setting.
That does not excuse some other Blender problems with their UI, however.
"In April 2013, Microsoft released an open source JPEG XR library under the BSD licence.[41][42]... the previously released "HD Photo Device Porting Kit"[43] was incompatible with the GNU GPL."
I believe everything below the break point will fall to the ground and also in a path that wraps around the earth. Everything above will go up and stop at a new higher equilibrium point, still straight and under tension.
As opposed to other pollution, I would think this has the nice advantage that it is in the drilling companies interest to reduce it (since what they are leaking is the product they want to sell!). It is true that they will not naturally stop leaks where the cost of stopping the leak is greater than the savings in product, but it sure sounds like a mild bit of regulation can fix this (and the company does get any methane they save, thus offsetting some of the cost of the regulation). In any case this sure seems like it is not something inheriently wrong or unsolvable with natural gas.
I have not managed to get off the front page to see what is wrong with the comments. There are enough problems there which the parent mentions. Others:
1. On my Nexus 5 (a pretty standard Android) the images are all distorted to a rectangle about 20x taller than it is wide!
2. It is hugely annoying that the text is cut off with "Read More". Please show the entire lead text like Slashdot does now.
3. Yes please: if the photo is a stock photo, make it really tiny! A large photo is good if it is actually new and unique to *that story*. Never ever repeat a large photo.
4. All kinds of annoyances with the text being faint, large line spacing, and not extending all the way across the page.
Server side decorations actually add a lot of complexity to the protocol, and don't fix frozen clients if in fact pushing the button (such as the close box) requires the client to do something like exit. Also unlike Windows, Wayland compositors can detect frozen clients and still allow the windows to be dragged around (or minimized with reasonable accuracy if the new xdg_shell has support for child windows). In addition it is now possible to write clients with a gui thread and a computation thread, which will keep not only the borders from freezing, but actually all the widgets inside the windows.

Your existing plan really does not cover contraceptives? That will actually make it *more* expensive, not less.
HIPAA is only for group health plans. Nice try, however.
COBRA expires after 6 months (I think it was extended by Obama but still finite). I know this from personal experience.
Nice but it would be really better if you could post some details (cost and coverage and deductables, etc).

Please describe in equal detail the "plan" you had before. Don't lie.

Yes as of last April only:
"In April 2013, Microsoft released an open source JPEG XR library under the BSD licence.[41][42] ... the previously released "HD Photo Device Porting Kit"[43] was incompatible with the GNU GPL."
To keep everything organized, I recommend that all posts mentioning going at night be arranged under this one.
I believe everything below the break point will fall to the ground and also in a path that wraps around the earth. Everything above will go up and stop at a new higher equilibrium point, still straight and under tension.

Google can use the term "bingled!" in their ads maybe
Double-click on SHA numbers seems to work fine for me, I use it all the time.

Surely this is based on some Linux simulation of OS/X, can anybody identify it?
I find it hard to believe NK took KDE and modified it themselves to look like OS/X, rather than basing it on work already done.
I heard MyCleanPC will remove Slashdot beta!
I don't think you know how GTK and QT work.
They are already drawing bitmaps. GTK uses Cairo, and QT uses it's own Cairo-like drawing library.
The X drawing primitives are totally useless for modern antialiased graphics and nobody uses them.
