'sick' and require the attention of specialists.... You can get your dog in for an MRI same day but you'll be waiting months for yours.
My dad got sick last wednesday, he got his MRI that night, and two neurosurgeons operated on him the next evening (delay due to his prescription medication needing to flush out of his system before the operation).
The bill? The ambulance ride and the private rooms's TV cable bill. Less than 200 canadian dolalrs total.
Those lazy scientists! They were slacking off instead of inventing precise mesurment eqquipment, and monitoring things! That means that what they say now means nothing! NOTHING!
I don't know if I find that site particularly credible. For one thing, he claims that the Irish Potato Famine was caused by climate change, when in fact it was caused by a fungus.

Anyone remember Nokia's top brass insultig the entire gaming community before the launch? Something about how no adult would dare be seen playing a gameboy advance?
Guess what, no one would dare be seen talking on your sideways phone, or especially, no one could be seen changing the game cartdrige without being ridiculed.
They fixed those issues in the second model, much too late, and with all the bad sentiment they created by insulting their potential custommers, I'm surprised they sold so many.

Contrary to popular belief, turkey does not make you sleepy. While purified tryptophan is a mild sleep-inducing agent, there is not enough in turkey to have a sedative affect.
First of all: EFFECT. Sheesh.
Secondly, the explanation "tryptophan" came about to awnser the question "why do we all feel sleepy after eating the turkey". So if the explanation is wrong, it doesn't mean the observation was: Double sheesh!
Longhorn is estaimated to ship when, 2008 is it? This is several years behind schedule? (I don't know for certain.) Microsoft's project manager knew (or whould have known) what was going into the new OS and the developers should have been better prepared to provide a more reasonable estimate of the time needed to complete the project.
Then OSX Tiger came out and all of a sudden they had a lot of "innovating" to do ; )
Sony Music and Sony Electronics are different heads of the beast. Game Console DRM is nothing new, and not limited to one player. In fact, it's argued that the ease with which the Dreamcast DRM was bypassed was what precipitated it's demise.
Overall it seems really solid but out of the 4 games he got, nothing grabbed me. His long wait for a native title that can push this new system to its limit has begun.
I don't get these people. I wait for a few good games to come out, THEN I buy the console to play it.
I don't buy a console and a bunch of rushed games just because they're new... I can't get the logic behind that at all.
people will wait for the next-gen offerings from Nintendo and Sony.
I know I am. Haven't decided which one yet, gonna see who's got the best games, but Sony has the familiarity and backwards compatibility, whilst nintendo has... an interresting gimmick.
Speaking as the proud owner of a powerglove, I'll wait and see if it's a gimmick or a revolutionary idea before I buy it. So I might end up with a 3rd Sony console in a row, just out of a fear of the unknown.

it was zeus' head. that's why athena is the goddess of wisdom.
When you tried, and failed, to set a ship on fire with a hastily constructed fresnel mirror array, and then also failed to set the "ship" on fire by dousing it in gasoline and setting an open flame to it. Did it not occur to you that if it won't burn in those conditions, the replica ship is "busted", not the "myth"?

Or sub-dermal and required by law. What? They assure us that the laws requiring sub-dermal RFID for animals won't be extended to humans? Just like they assured us that income tax would only be a short term deal to pay for the war effort? Why shouldn't we believe them this time?

Dear Adam,
When you tried, and failed, to set a ship on fire with a hastily constructed fresnel mirror array, and then also failed to set the "ship" on fire by dousing it in gasoline and setting an open flame to it. Did it not occur to you that if it won't burn in those conditions, the replica ship is "busted", not the "myth"?

No, that was Zeus' thigh.
