The name of the medication itself is the problem; if you can hide that from the insurer without introducing enormous fraud problems, then you've done well. There are a lot of things that have only one use. There are a lot more that have only a few. I once had a patient tell me that they used to be allergic to penicillin but "I'm not anymore because they made me not allergic to it." Immediately I knew two things: she had previously had syphilis, which is the only thing they go to the trouble of desensitizing you to penicillins in order to treat, and she had drawn the wrong impression from what they did, because that desensitization doesn't last.
It's even harder to create an logo that doesn't resemble any other logo. You can't really do it.
Sometimes they don't even try. Go look up the work of Saul Bass: he loved blue, especially blue circles: AT&T "Deathstar", Minolta, and Continental Airlines being three examples of logos that were obviously part of the same thought.
IANAL, but my understanding of copyright v trademark is that you could republish original images without paying royalty, but creating any new ones would infringe King's trademark. Still, the summary is as badly confused as any I've seen in a long while.
No, you will frequently see a woman's pubic hair, but if they show genitalia - it won't qualify for an R rating, it'll be NC-17. The difference is that, from a frontal view, men's genitalia are visible, while women's need not be.
Quit worrying about the kids and start worrying about getting your company sued out of existence because some guy's wife is a serious breastfeeding advocate and all his Facebook friends are her friends - and somebody at work thinks that it constitutes sexual harassment. Topless at the beach is either a nudist/topless beach, in which case the parents are okay with that, or public indecency.
When using VMS in college, the discovery of that one command convinced me that - whatever its advantages - VMS was an evil, evil piece of work. I leaned on a few friends in CS to get me an account on the Unix machines and never used VMS for anything but email after that (and the email client was terrible).
1 was top and 9 was bottom because it's easier for right-handed people to make a forceful clockwise motion with their hands, and the mechanical switches of the day used the number of pulses created as the dial rotated back to its original position to do the switching. Thus, 1 had to be closest to the stop and 9 farthest from it.
Same here, and it's damned hard to find a keyboard not built for Japanese women's hands. M all the way. (Although I did have a Focus keyboard in college that used Alps switches - also a very nice feel. I don't think that Focus exists anymore, but they were by far the cheapest producer of high-quality true-mechanical keyboards out there. Too bad they used that tiny backslash that was slipped up in the corner next to backspace.)
It is astounding to me how people will rave about how many whizbang features their PC has and then use a crappy keyboard, monitor, and mouse. I always tell people to spend more on those items, since 1) they last from computer to computer and 2) they're the way you will work with it every single day. Why not drop an extra $200 and get the good stuff?
Nonsense; of course they have an accent. Their accent just happens to be remarkably close to an American Midwestern accent. (No surprise there; most of the Midwest was settled by northern Europeans.) I've listened to Dutch people speaking Dutch; aside from the fact that the words themselves are unfamiliar, they sound almost exactly like Midwesterners speaking English (and, to someone who speaks a totally different language, are probably indistinguishable). You even find that you can catch the pauses that distinguish words from each other, something that is notoriously hard to do in languages you don't speak.
you don't actually learn anything by memorizing a table
...except what the answer to six times four is. Knowing how multiplication works takes around five minutes of class time to explain; actually being able to do it takes months of practice. Knowing "why" is meaningless if you can't do it.
Well, and MS sold Office 6 for about the same price that WordPerfect charged you for... WordPerfect alone.
On the issue of shouldn't-have-died, my favorite word processor EVER was Ami Pro 3.0. Best equation editor ever put into a consumer product, and I was a chemistry major at the time, so that mattered. It took one tenth of the time to create proper equations in Ami Pro 3 that it did in anything else (including Ami Pro 4).
Well, if you want a description of American unionism from a mixed view, try this; he's sympathetic to why things got this way, but thinks they're ultimately untenable.
I'll have to check that out. I've not played any RTS since Dune II, mainly because I found the idea that my units would not be able to patrol a route, engage whatever they find, notify me about said engagement, and return home incredibly frustrating - like the stage of Civilization (the original one) just before your spaceship lands, when you spend all your time selling off city walls or some such. I gave up when I realized I couldn't possibly be everywhere at once, but the AI could.
Well, thanks for the fillip, but unfortunately people like conspiracy theories. They've moved on from mercury to the "too many antigens" idea, which is utterly ridiculous if you consider what's growing in the average child's nose.
There's no convincing them, either. People have always tried to find a reason why their kids have something go wrong mentally or physically, but the terrible reality is that there's probably no detectable reason why. Wiring the brain is hard to do right, and there are a lot of subtle ways it can go wrong. So they latch onto whatever they can - I've seen people say that they avoided epidurals during labor because they were concerned that an incredibly brief exposure to vanishingly small quantities of local anesthetics would mess up their children years down the road - and the natural human tendency to confuse correlation with causation runs wild.
Scarlet fever is caused by a strep toxin. Polio vaccine administered in the US is a dead virus. You are not immunized against the former, and you cannot contract poliomyelitis from the inactivated vaccine. Mercury, in the form of thimerosol, has been removed from the US children's vaccine supply since 2001.
All true. However, I expect that Walker is also in the sort of physical condition that I wouldn't be able to achieve with steroids, enough wealth to be able to train 24/7, and enough stamina to put the character from Mirror's Edge to shame. It's not good for the head, but it's not nearly as painful as the other kind.

Well, you didn't flash them to be able to use channels 12-14; they're still running US firmware. You've got to have both ends covered.

In other words, I'm technically wrong, but practically right?
image of Popeye as something they have a right to use as they wish.
No, they don't have that right - it's trademarked, and still being licensed. You can reprint the original stories without paying them a royalty.

Cite? I can see how this might apply to public spaces, or pseudo-public spaces like mall interiors, but a restaurant?

keyspacing is great, as I have large hands

Parent is right, buy this. It's $20, but it works. Yes, I own one.

Why don't you just graduate and get to work a year early? Total hours requirement?

If it only cost 100 times as much, I'd be surprised.
You can only wank for so many hours in a day, hormones or not.
Yes, but for the average teenage guy, "so many" turns out to be awfully close to 24.
