"4. Quality of care will be bad
From the article: the death rate for coronary-bypass patients at Escorts is.8 percent. By contrast, the 1999 death rate for the same procedure at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, where former president Bill Clinton recently underwent bypass surgery, was 2.35 percent, according to a 2002 study by the New York State Health Department."
I'm not going to argue with your overall point; in fact, I agree. This one point, though, is suspect... NYP may have a higher fatality rate, but the incoming condition of their patients is rather below average from what I've read;-) Kudos to them for managing a 97.65 percent survival rate among those lost causes.
Outsourcing is "just fine" from the perspective of anyone who's taken a single term of economics. Anyone who's taken either more or less may be less enthusiastic;-)
"After all, don't a lot of brilliant Indians come to the U.S. to attend grad school?"
Sure... the ones who couldn't get in back home. Just like all the japanese students I see around our campus. (very bright, studious folks too)
The principle I use is as follows: If a given passage is giving me advice on how to live my life, I read it carefully. I generally find these passages quite reliable. The passages which talk about parting rivers, magically turning staves to snakes or water into wine, or magical little old men in the sky whose presence explains the existence of everything but themselves... Well, those passages I tend to skim and move on.
Man... you just reminded me of the joke about the businessman who says his greatest accomplishment was learning how to buy something for a dollar and sell it for five... That 20% markup was the secret! Thanks for the laugh, O one who hath never studied accounting:)
I don't know... If the idealist's vision were true, I suspect people would be so busy fighting for causes that don't affect them, that nothing useful would ever get done.
Such is the daftist perspective.
Are you sure you didn't mean "BOLLOCKS!"? I mean, unless "Miss Congeniality" was even worse than I've heard, "BULLOCKS" isn't really a known expletive.

Especially not all those people at my local college, who returned to find their hotmail was in Mandarin Chinese.
That assumes that your time is worth nothing.
Well, I did get it for free.
Oh, IANAL, but I have studied some law.
Nor do you in the U.S. You get to keep a family home, a car, and a host of other little things.

Cripes, has to be said... If the boat's a rockin', just don't go a knockin'.
Ohhh no... So you can't borrow money for several years... You're alive, you fscking whiner!
We could email your company's sysadmin if you like. Just post his/her addy. :-)
You're right. Since it's in Egypt, they should have been ragging on the kikes. (grin)
Strange... When I was 4, complaining loudly was only an effective tool in the procurement of posterior contusions. Not so much candy bars.
I just had a Matrix moment... "Do you really think that's Hawkins you're posting with? Hmm."
"friends that went a way too college" "can provide an insite" Perhaps you should have gone away to college too. Or at least used the Preview button.
Did he really? I mean, I enjoy those old games BECAUSE they're not very complex as far as design ;-)
Who's this Daryl person? Does this mean Darl has a minion aside from Blake?
Ok... I've got maybe 60 years left, and I don't have any kids. I don't care. Have a nice day.
Well, you do seem to realize you can't score a girlfriend ON slashdot... Maybe you really are in Mensa!

I expect the porn and gambling sites do more receiving than giving of money... So Paypal does in fact have THEIR money, now doesn't it? ;-)
Here's a clue: pluralization doesn't involve apostrophe's. ;-)

You know... There's a context menu option in Opera that does this for you (timed auto-reload). You should try it, may save wear on the keyboard ;-)
