    How many of those children are unwanted because they possess diseases/issues that could be solved by different mitochondrial DNA?

    Were you trying to make a point?

    If they're all broadcasting and receiving nothing but 1s, sure.

  4. Vatican City.

    That would be incredible fucking useful if you could send a series of encrypted messages to anybody that knew morse code.

    This isn't even that.

  6. But it really is on the honour system.

    The last few generations of software have removed the user as the final decision maker.

    Imagine we're in a crappy movie where everybody in authority has gone made with power. The user can no longer prevent Microsoft from forcing malware on their machine through windows update. They can no longer prevent their phones from spying on them by Google.

    Sure, none of those companies will be stupid enough to take it to the extreme, but if they decide you get something, then you get something.

    "So, by that logic if you don't lock your door, I should be free to walk in and take anything I want?"

    No, by that logic if I walk up to you and say "Hey, can I have your TV?" and you give me your TV, you can't sue the guy down the street who's telling people "The guy over there is giving away free TVs".

    "Does that really sound like something that should be allowed all above board and legal?" Yes. If the first site doesn't want somebody downloading their images they should configure their server not to provide them to anybody that asks.

    I was referring to the question of "Do I want this doctor", which should be the main thrust of an interview campaign.

    Do we live in the same Canada? I show up to my doctor's office. I say "I'm here to see Dr. xxx". I wait. I then go in to see my doctor. Yeah, you've gotta show your various cards any time you go to see somebody new, but I always assumed that was so that I wouldn't get breast implants when I just wanted them to check out my cough. I do get coverage for meds through my work though. That stuff's still crazy with no insurance.

    Then that should have answered your questions, no? My doctor's great. Sure, he's always in a bit of a rush, but he'll answer as many questions as I have. Isn't the point of interviewing doctors to find one that will work for you?

    My dad was receiving treatment in under 2 weeks from his first ER trip. He's fine now. I have no doubt that in the US my father would be dead and my mother struggling with a mountain of debt. So... YMMV?

    You don't think OTA ever goes out or has reception issues?
