Obviously you've never had to deal with Service Canada (I think of it as Service like you do with farm animals).
The goals of most Service Canada people seems to be 1) don't give you money you aren't absolutely positively entitled too... 2) don't give more information than they must. Both of these seems to be out of fear of getting fired or having to go to court because they gave you too money and/or too much/wrong information.
I'm within 2 degrees of separation of Strempler individual (I know a few people who went to high school/university with him).
The feeling as I understand it is that Strempler is/was actually hounestly trying to provide reliable drugs, an the company did do regular testing. However, the problem that come in that the global supply chain is full of counterfeits (thank globalisation and the far east). Stock from one supplier can be reliable one week, and not the next.
Perhaps having to do this extra testing has an upward pressure on drug costs in the US, and perhaps not doing enough testing is Strempler's mistake.
Is it excusable? No. I think it's a case of Misfeasance or Nonfeasance; not Malfeasance.
As an aside, he probably meant to go to Miami Manitoba, not Miami Florida - it's an easy mistake;-)
Easy solution... the Bible says the whole world was once flooded. There's your historical data.
The the Republican's argue that the Bible is not historically accurate:-)
Put a list in a sealed envelope in your bank safety deposit box and tell them it's there (and if you can't wait for them to get the death certificate, put someone you trust as a key holder). You could save trips by pre-determining them a year in advance, so you only have to go once every 11 or 12 months.
You could make it a little easier to accomplish regularly, by using a fire safe, somewhere in you house.
You could give a piece of the passwords to each of your siblings, so that two or more have to get together.
I've stood on the corner of Portage and Main when it's 40 below ('F or 'C - it don't matter) with a 50km/h North wind coming down Main, and a 40km/h West wind coming down Portage enough times to say I KNOW Canada. Parts of it are 1st world, and parts of it are 3rd world - don't kid yourself.
That depends on whether you consider "Northern Canada" 1st world or not. I'm sure many of it's inhabitants would be happy just living in 2nd world conditions (visit most First Nations Reserves in any part of Canada and experience the 3rd world in North America).
Beside, most of Southern Canada, say bellow the 54th parallel is A.O.K. as far as internet and phone connectivity goes today. Well, except paying through the nose for a Gig of data (wired or wireless) compared to many parts of the world.
What's sad about this is that Kaczynski was the subject of what I'll argue were some pretty wicked and unethical psychological experiments when he was in school - long before he ever became a danger to the world. Some have suggested that these experiments pushed him over the edge.
As a parent of a little girl who didn't live very long, I can tell you. Whatever time she's got is beautiful. Be it a century, a decade, a year, a month, a day, or just a minute.
At the same time, I can empathise with a parent who chooses to withhold care, and allow nature to take its course. Because that's sometimes kinder than the alternative.
Didn't we have something like this already... it was called the Star Wars Christmas Special. Some of us are even old enough to have had to experience it.

A question you should always ask yourself when creating a new form of transportation of the masses.
Do you want your grandmother driving this thing? For her safety? For other's safety?
Nuff said.

It's basically within an hour commute of your home. There is SOME accommodation personal situation, family, etc.

Fin / Head? Same difference, right.
Lets go with simple, because tech can fail.

OB,
A loss of communications can mean only one thing. Invasion!
You're trolling, right? You know that North Dakota has no ocean view.

I call shenanigans. Given the typical readership of Slashdot, the probability of 1 wife (let alone N wives, where N > 1) is negligible.
Yes... that was in 1990 - 12 years after he started his attacks in 1978
Too True... the US system is about punishment. Many other countries systems are about Corrections (both punishment an rehabilitation)

Point your boss at this article by Joel and have him search for "death march": http://www.inc.com/magazine/20071101/how-hard-could-it-be-five-easy-ways-to-fail.html?partner=fogcreek
Suddenly, the Daleks' plungers now make sense.

Or lost one, premature or otherwise.
I'm so please for the little girl, and yet sad - because she is probably in for a much tougher life than most of her peers.
2005 wants their news back, http://v3.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?CC=US&NR=7255627&KC=&FT=E
Of course marketing wisely removed the "You make a grown man cry...." lines from "Start Me Up"
I for one welcome... nah it's too easy.
But why? Don't you want to know what happened to Mallatobuck, Attichitcuk, and Lumpawarrump? At least stay until you get to the Boba Fett Cartoon.
Didn't we have something like this already... it was called the Star Wars Christmas Special. Some of us are even old enough to have had to experience it.
And how exactly do you tell if the smell is gone or your nose just gave out?
Typically, you die. That's what is so nasty about H2S (Hydrogen Sulfide), You don't even know it's got you.
