Typical American Clown. We here, in this "god forsake frozen area of the word(?)" have done more towards protecting our allies than Americans ever have. You know those movies where the Americans overrun Europe in WWII. It was the Canadians, not the Yanks. Just like this Band of Brothers BS that is not even remotely historically accurate. Pull your head out of your *ss and have a look at the facts instead of blathering away with your insane propaganda. Oh, and since when has the US protected it's allies. Occupation is not the same as protection. Just ask the mafia. And you wonder why people hate you.
Healthcare is healthcare, it depends on the people doing it.
The shameful thing here is companies making HUGE profits off of saving people's lives. Of course you need to make a profit, but how much freakin' money do you need?
This from my brother who works on an offshore rig.
Ho hummmm. We're already using the MWD.A more expensive Tool is LWD (Log
While Drilling) used in conjunction with MWD and that saves running
Schlumberger Logs after. Although the gazbillion bytes/sec seems
interesting, so far for us an antiquated 56000 bps seems adequate and gets
us where we need to be. We read pulses in the Mud Pump Pressure created by a
tool in the MWD that is sent Bar Code lingo. I'm trying to put my head
around how faster transmission time would benefit us, but no. I am thinking
though that at some deep water drilling, which is generally say 5 times the
cost our operations are, and normally just doing Exploration ahead of guys
like us, getting some real time data while drilling to read Reservoir Data
would be a boon.
