We pay for that coverage at my work.
We've had people run over a laptop (complete with tire marks), dropped computers, dunked computers, drunk computers, ones so mangled that the case and motherboard had to be replaced.
Actually that is dependant on province. Some provinces (such as Alberta) allow privatized health care in addition to the national.
British Columbia is also undergoing trials with it. I can't speak for the other provinces, but it is not "illigal" in the sense you are portraying it.
While wait times can be a hassle sometimes, often it is a matter of where you go.
eg: My grandmother needed surgery. If she wanted it at the main Vancouver hospital it had a 4-6 month waiting list. If she was willing to go to Abbotsford (~40 miles outside the city core and on the outskirts of the greater Vancouver area), she could get an appointment in 1 month.
It is simply that too many people think only of their local hospital for these surgeries and the hospitals don't farm out the proceedures to others. If people are willing to go across town it is normally solvable.
Certainly C is the basis of C++, though I would not call it a subset given how integrated it is.
Most of the differences between the two come from memory management, object oriented coding (though you can fake it in C), and the amount of GUI APIs available for C++ (eg: VC++).
For the record, I have a diploma in computer systems technology specializing in information systems. aka: I know how to program, the theories behind it, the algorythms behind it, AND how to be a sysadmin properly, analyse user requirements, document, project manage, and deliver a product that does the freaking job.
I went to the British Columbia Institute of Technology. out of 250 students that started, by the end of year 2 (of 2), only about 40 graduated. Of course some people took 3 years, but that only added about 20 people. It wasn't because of the bust (which happenned when I was there), but because how bloody hard it was.
We used to laugh at 4th year compsci students from the local university because they had no concept of life outside their program. Whereas we had gone into code optimization, assembly coding, OS coding and underpinnings, etc..
The uni people practically fainted when we asked them how to code in C a dynamic linked list of unknown size so that it a) has the smallest possible memory allocation, b) runs fast, and c) breaks the most common functions into well..functions and proceedures.
Here is the pop quiz... what is the difference between a function and a proceedure? . . . . A function returns a value, a proceedure doesn't.
As someone heavily involved in the fan community for years, and has had several discussions with the heads of said companies (bandai, Viz, ADV, etc), there is a tremendous amount of FUD around digisubs (they are not fansubs).
The main thing is if you look at a digisub vs a full release a) the video and audio quality is way superior in a regular release, b) the digisubs are inconsistant (watch 10 eps and see if they spell names the same way), and c) no extras.
Also, you are wrong about the 2 eps per disc. It used to be that way in the old VHS days, and when DVDs first came out, but it quickly went to 4-6!! episodes per disc.
As for pricing of anime DVDs, you forget there are licencing fees, cost of dubbing, subtitlers, DVD authors, printing, distribution, etc. And you cannot compare Cowboy Bebop to Futurama. a) Futurama has a lower cost point, b) it has MAJOR TV exposure, which means you sell more copies, which makes for a lower price.
Also, the cost of anime DVDs in North America has dropped in recent years. It used to be $35-45 per disc, now it is more like $25-$35.
Also, if you want the entire series, wait until after the whole thing is released, a lot of them do perfect collections for a lot off the individual cost.
As for the delay on some titles, some of it is licensing, some of it is simply how much they do. ADV had 1 dubbing studio and that was why they took so long on some series (they now have more). But even now they still have a backlog.
So STFU and buy more, which will cause more to be brought over, and the price to drop.
I have had it with bloody digisubbers. Real fansubbers got LDs from Japan, transferred onto VHS and manually subtitled. It took a while, but the translations were better, and it wasn't wholesale ripping off companies.
Also, there was not a subculture of "look at me I subtitle anime!" and races between these groups to get subs out faster. When that happens the quality sucks.
A few things to think of: -A car is not targetted for destruction (eg: all objects in the vicinity do not just attack it) -there is no analogy for the internet on the roads (though people like to think of one) -computers have software and hardware, cars are just hardware (and firmware)
Ok, now that I have said that...some holes in your thoughts....
a) if you bought a car and did not put on a safety belt...would you be considered stupid if you go in an accicent? It is like a firewall b) If the roads are filled with bad drivers, you are probably going to take action about it, rather than going all driving-miss-daisy c) cars don't stay out for 4 years. Each year they make changes and come out with them. Like getting windows with SP2 from the factory. d) Have you ever seen the number of recalls on almost any car out there after a couple of years of real-world testing? it is scary.
I work at a support center (one where there is no punch menu system other than "if you wish to leave a voice mail" [and get ignored[) and this is very important for us as if a customer flies off the handle we can record it...and then threaten to cut the customer off internet until he behaves nice.
Other than that, mostly it is employee review, etc.
At home I have a router being used as a WAP, on a 10. domain, with an odd IP address, 128-bit WEP, MAC filtering, an SSID of SHINJI, changed password, and SSID broadcast off.
germany's ally, Japan, was the one who brought the US in (as put, "woke the sleeping giant"). Though they did try to declare was just before hitting Pearl Harbour, things got a little delayed and caused it to hit before the declaration.
so think before posting. Then again, if you are the product of the american propaganda system (read: US public school) I don't doubt you don't know these things.
I had to get a fancopy of it from montreal (all of it on 3 tapes) but it is from broadcast on fox (with commercials cut) and the quality isn't the best..but still, I would buy it on DVD. Someone in the UK wanted to do it on DVD but it would have cost $~400
I did fencing a long time ago... and one thing drilled into us lefties was that we had the advantage. Most righties are conditioned (muscle memory) against other righties. we lefties are used to going against both. It was quite often that he would block the wrong way and I was able to score points because he didn't expect I could make the move.
Of course the real fun one was the guy who waved his foil around like he was a pirate or something... got into a match and I batter it aside and stopped my tip about 1/8" from his family jewels. The swordmaster came over and told him "now you know why we learn defence".
1st degree) red skin, itching/aching, commonly sunburn or hot liquid
2nd degree) water blisters are the main sign, they hurt like hell and take a long time to heal. They can be caused by friction, heat, or other things (mine was from friction on a water slide+very hot sunny day, both of my shoulders)
3rd degree) this is effectively you have burned off your skin, including nerve endings. It can require grafts etc.
I used to own an 85 Mazda RX-7 (1st generation)... the old armstrong steering (aka, no power). At a dead stop good luck turning the wheels, but start moving and no problem.
Now I own a 96 Mazda MX-3 and it has speed-sensative steering...which I love. Full power steering at low speeds, and it gradually turns off at high speeds so you can feel the road properly.
The reason that this was done likely is because SP2 enables the firewall by default. so you don't want people calling asking why their file shares and printer shares don't work.
In addition to that, if it is a local network like that, they have a router in the first place, they are safe.
In addition to that... remember in windows XP unless you CREATE a share it is not going to be there (even though the file and printer sharing may be turned on).
In addition to THAT... winXP by default has guest turned off, so you would have to be an authenticated user to get access.
someone is trying to be sensationalist and not thinking about things.
Up here in canada Rogers did something like that on their cable system... and it pissed me and almost every other user off to no end.
The problem is...what if you check your work e-mail from home and try to send out from it. It gets rejected. So suddenly you have to have another SMTP server to go through.
By the way, the reason Rogers put that in place was the fact that their SMTP server was being used for spamming. The problem was it wasn't the internal users spamming. Their mail server was sitting ass-open on the internet. Everyone was sending through it. After enough people complained they finally openned it up internally again. (they had a bunch of monkeys running their network).
Also, at about Lvl 10 paladins max out. In pen and paper their mounts get better/nastier. In NWN all you get is some more slow spell progression. I ended up multiclassing to a champion of torm at 11th level.
Paladins are the class that hurt the most in the changeover to NWN.
That said, I love the game.

I worked for a medical imaging company and they would use it.
they are using gigabit already and you can see slowdown...simply put, a couple hundred 100MB+ x-rays to a single box.... multiply that by however many boxes the hospital has..and 10 gigabit is nice.
The problem hits in not having enough RAM..and with a 4GB limitation on workstation OS's for the most part this amount of bandwidth could get funky.

This is why I love my LG laptop & netbook. 0 crapware. Heck, if you want the LG utilities beyond the basic drivers you have to load them yourself.

Ok... you are missing the point of the Good Samaritan law.
The point of it is that you cannot be sued if you help someone to the best of your abilities and training, even if that help causes further harm.
eg: If you know first aid and try to help someone in need, and the family tries to sue you saying you didn't do it right, they cannot due to this law.
That said it is a double-edged sword, as an off-duty paramedic or doctor cannot use the law as they have a high training level.
Ok, the car analogy is FLAWED!
One more person uses it and I'll kill 'em.
A few things to think of:

Oh yeah, and running all the latest firmware.
bad math.
695673 km2 (268,601 sq miles) that isn't right.
it is 0.6miles to the KM roughly.
So it would NEVER pass the 530,000km mark, let alone up to 695k kms.
Actual number would be 432259km, not 695.
uhm...germany didn't declare was on the US.
germany's ally, Japan, was the one who brought the US in (as put, "woke the sleeping giant"). Though they did try to declare was just before hitting Pearl Harbour, things got a little delayed and caused it to hit before the declaration.

Baen Books treats its authors well.
Mainly they are nice and don't take all the rights. But they are a "small" publisher due to their small stable of authors.
Check out their free online library, very cool.
hey moron, ever thought that the reason upload is capped like that is due to the fact that it taxes the system a hell of a lot more than download?
ALL carriers have a lower upload than DL (by a long shot) except if you are running a T1 or OC. that is the reason of fibre, full bandwidth both ways.

The school you go to....
- undergraduate - doesn't matter .
- graduate - matters, especially for an MBA
- PhD - is everything
Hope that matters.Specifically:
1st degree) red skin, itching/aching, commonly sunburn or hot liquid
2nd degree) water blisters are the main sign, they hurt like hell and take a long time to heal. They can be caused by friction, heat, or other things (mine was from friction on a water slide+very hot sunny day, both of my shoulders)
3rd degree) this is effectively you have burned off your skin, including nerve endings. It can require grafts etc.

however only the administrator has access to that share. And I would check whether this article covered that or not. (or better yet, test it)
both here and in the world.

Both of which take what you don't have... TIME.
Head counts don't work very well, and taking attendance takes a long time. More time than some people have.
Also, Japan is not like america in the schools. You don't have to worry about being stabbed in the cafeteria, or drug dogs.
