You don't understand the issue. The concern is that the bird flu may mutate in such a way that allows efficient spreading between humans. Then you might be talking deaths in the tens of millions. It has happened before. Google "Spanish bird flu".
It is certainly worth worrying about.
The problem is that after two weeks of sweet benzo bliss, most anxiety sufferers are not exactly keen to give up their new found elixir. I am amazed at how few Doctors realise what they might be setting people up for when they hand over that first Valium/Xanax/etc script.
That's like arguing that Olympic 100m sprints are worthless at indicating overall physical fitness because all they do is show how people perform in very small, localized tests of physical ability.
"I just don't understand what has happened in my lifetime"
Simple, you became nostalgic and are now under the delusion that the world is worse than it used to be. Of course in reality there have always been plenty of assholes...
I cant believe you guys are all so big on turning friends in. We have all done bad things, (admittedly the worst I did was steal some chocolates).
You guys just like the fantasy that you are the good guys who's job it is to go around correcting all those morally weak people.

I can't believe you snitched on your friend. I can appreciate you telling him you feel strongly about this sort of thing and that you cant be friends with a thief, but your actions were most innapropriate.
I consider betraying your friends trust to be worse than his fraud.
My friend bought some top notch engine old and spark plugs to do a service on his car. Then he poured the old oil back in the bottle, and put the sparkies back into the pack and went and got a refund on it.
My Dad died of addiction when I was 4 years old. It has sucked a fair bit over the years. I know where you're coming from.
But I disagree with your judgment of Doohan. We don't know what happened. He obviously didn't sit down with his wife and say: "you know what Hon, now that im old and soon to croak, lets get you knocked up so the kid wont have a Dad"
Oh and Linux is so usable? At least in windows you can install new software without wading though the crptic world of tarballs, dependencies, RPMs, and all that stupid crap that Linux likes to pretend is better than universal one click installers.

No, not 50%.

I wonder if it will let me know when my internet refridgerator is running low on milk.
"One should" not "Once should"
It's not correct to say "ten times cheaper" either. Once should say "one tenth the price" or something like that.
I suspects that the writer doesn't know how to write all that good.
Maybe a month in talking-out-your-##$ time, but I suspect it would take longer in real world time.
Wannabe Nostradamuses will still be giving their 2 cents.
I could have been driving the tunnel for free?!?!?!?
NOOOOO!

I have to ask, when do you believe the moral compass dissapeared?
A gift card or a store credit is hardly a refund...
Wow, this list moves fast. Last time I checked (admittedly about a year ago), the earth simulator was flogging everyone.
Yep, foxit is great. Much better than acrobat reader.

Most people use the term incorrectly and unthinkingly.

Children actually learn with a steep learning curve. If the learning curve is steep, skills are acquired faster.
Im sure the Communist party of China would be happy to correct you on that.
