The problem with that is you can't sign away the right of someone else to sue the doctor, namely, the damaged child.
Even if you sign away your rights when you, for example, get behind the wheel of a car, that doesn't mean whoever you cream because it's defective can't sue the car company.
Quantum computing? Computing with the power of the magnitude of the Real Numbers infinite set per computational step? Such a low aleph. Talk to me when you get to aleph-12 computing.

Seriously, he could have shown the one example he counters with his own "way", to compare and contrast. Also, don't most solutions involving trig, where you solve in reverse for an angle, offer infinite solutions, all +/- 180 or 360 or something? If so, how does he select his "correct, one" solution?

There's a big difference between singing songs somebody else talented wrote, and writing them yourself. Michael Jackson and Madonna made a career of forking over truckloads of cash to slap their names on other peoples' songs.

Actually, evolutionarily, applying extra thought to accomplish goals while minimizing physical effort gains the advantage of using less energy for the same (or even better) accomplishments.
Of course, only a really lazy guy like me would think of that...
In high school I was a slow runner but when after going through basic and ait, advanced individual training, in the army my tyme in the 2 mile run was 11:43, almost 6 mintues per mile while the army limits for my age group were 12 minutes for the highest score and 17 minutes was the max tyme allowed. The furthest I ever ran in hs was about 5 miles, I was on the swim and dive team and because the school didn't have a pool after weight training we had an hour to get to a public pool 5 miles away and most of us ran it. When I got out of the army though I ran several miles a day and could run 12 or more. If it weren't for training I never would of been able to do that. While some may have an innate ability to do something training can make them much better.
In high school I was a slow socialite but when after going through my dad's hidden descrambler, at home my tyme in the 3 connect cable box rehook was 42s, almost 14s per connection while the scary limits for thumping around upstairs, pending of descent, were 60 seconds for the fastest and 1:20 was the max time allowed. The furthest I ever dug in was 6 cables with two VCRs, copying one to the other, and because the rig didn't have quick-connect cables but rather screw types, we had only a minute to get to the public airwaves and most of us twisted the nuts. When I got out of the home though I used my own rig several times a day and could FF thru a 1hr20 tape to the good parts in 12 min or less. If it weren't for training at home, I never would have been able to do that. While some may have an innate ability to do something, training can make them much better.

Well, at least they've put a little bit of brainpower into this -- enough gravity to pull itself into a sphere (and is not in orbit about another planet) = planet. Don't know what the big deal is about hemi-demoting Pluto into "it's still a planet...and a pluton!" I do believe Pluto + Charon count as a double-planet, being their common center of gravity is outside either, but is Charon also round?
What about a tiny planet at the borderline, just barely able to pull itself into a ball, but with a large moon that can't quite do that, but the center of gravity is outside either?
Planet? Pluton? Double planet? Planet with moon? M****r f***** I hate thinking!

I support the government in this case. It is perfectly fine to use a fraudulent argument to get access to the video, when the real reason is to identify protestors who have nothing to do with the crime in question, for other reasons.
I further support China using video tapes of Tienamen Square to identify and round up protestors. At least they're honest about the reasons.
I mean, if P. J. O'Rourke can go from a '60's hippie liberal anarchist who hid the identity of a buddy who, in a cowardly manner, clubbed with a 2x4, from behind, and permanently crippled a police officer directing traffic, to a conservative pin-up boy, then there's hope for us all!
