    Do not be offended. Rolling over pretty much ANYTHING with a steam roller is way cool.

    Riding in a normal cab downtown we saw a pedicab and commented. The driver made it known with a mix profanity and some Eastern European language I did not recognize that he felt they were a pest.

    You are blaming a manufacturing defect on environmental regulation? It is possible to make RoHS products that work correctly. Companies do it everyday.

    I agree China is supporting NK. I disagree that a war between the US and NK would benefit China. I think China is betting war will never happen even though they support NK.

  12. Re:But no mention of why on Most Doctors Don't Think Patients Need Full Access To Med Records · · Score: 1

    Doctors in most countries don't sell their services any more than firemen or policemen sell their services in the US.

    I understand that, but I live in the US and was speaking to my circumstances.

    ...a system where doctors are people who are selling a service is the worst possible way to set up the system

    I agree for basic health services. For elective/cosmetic services, I still want the option of paying a doctor to get them.

    ...most doctors are neither cruel nor narcissistic

    I agree, as stated in my original post.

  13. Re:But no mention of why on Most Doctors Don't Think Patients Need Full Access To Med Records · · Score: 1

    If you read carefully, you will see no conspiracies mentioned in my post. By studies, I was referring to a possible mindset that would explain why they feel patients should not have access to their health records. You would have to purposefully misread my post to think I was implying all doctors only do medical studies and do not practice on actual patients. If you read carefully, you will see the word patients in my post.

    Clearly I've hit a nerve with you. Do you feel patients should have access to their medical records? I do. Apparently you disagree.

  14. Re:But no mention of why on Most Doctors Don't Think Patients Need Full Access To Med Records · · Score: 1

    ...no mention of WHY a doc would want to restrict information.

    I doubt it is anything malicious. Doctors who feel that way probably view patients are raw material for their studies and the results of those studies as the property of the doctor. Those doctors need to be educated on the fact they are selling services to a customer and the customer owns the results of those services.

  20. Re:Nothing says 'I'm over 40!" like apple products on Apple's iWatch Could Come With IOS, Earn $6 Billion a Year · · Score: 1

    Contrary to the Samsung marketing you seem to have believed...

    Samsung spends more on advertising than Apple, HP, Dell, Microsoft and Coca Cola combined, so it is not surprising they can get some pliant people to parrot their ads.

    Niche products. No amount of hype will save it from fall. And this show screwed logic of public companies in US - it's all about "supergrowth", not profit.

    Smart phones and tablets are not niche products. Apple is earning record profits. I do see screwed logic, but not by Apple.

    Right, the Apple product is perfect in every way and everything else is either just a copy or shite.

    You are the ONLY one saying that. Nobody else said that. Just you.

    So the question is: why did you fabricate an incorrect statement and rage against it as if someone else said it? Wouldn't it be easier to address what the poster actually said?
