>Another example was asthmatics, there are some asthmatics that end up in the ER on a weekly basis, sometimes simply because they can't afford an inhaler (even with insurance). The inhaler cost is far less than the ER visit. It would be more informative to call them Preventable Hospitalizations.
The inhaler example is pretty good but if you replace "inhaler" with "daily dose of Advair", it would be an even better example. When most people say "inhaler", they usually mean "something related to albuterol that is used in a reactive fashion after wheezing has started". Giving an albuterol inhaler to someone with asthma who is not capable of paying for an albuterol inhaler is a *good* idea and may keep them from a visit to the Emergency Department. Giving Advair to someone with asthma who is not capable of paying for Advair is a *great* idea and will be a lot cheaper than a visit to the Emergency Department (even though Advair is one pricey little saucer).
Disclosure: I am not a drug rep nor do I own shares in GlaxoSmithKline. I take Advair every day to keep my asthma under control (maybe my insurance company should send me a check every month that I use Advair as prescribed because it is keeping me out of the doctor's office or the E.D. Hmmm... I wonder if they'll go for that plan.)

Nobody gives a shit if you use Gmail. Google doesn't give a shit if you use Gmail or not. If you don't like two-factor authentication, you don't own a smart phone or you don't a cell phone at all, then DON'T USE GMAIL.

The Architect: Denial is the most predictable of all human responses. But, rest assured, this will be the sixth time we have destroyed it, and we have become exceedingly efficient at it.

Use some of your hard-earned take-home pay to buy some RAM from eBay for your work PC and then kwitcher bitchin. I've done it. It's far better to spend $40 for RAM that will go into your employer's PC than to spend $40 on ACE inhibitors (beta blockers, etc.)
The good news, of course, is that no one was hurt, and virtually everything the burglar took is replaceable. One exception: On my son's computer, but never backed up, was one of the greatest documents ever, something he would have cherished all his life. He had meticulously kept a running list of every movie he had ever seen, hundreds and hundreds, with his comments on each. It's gone -- a reminder of the new reality that computers and Facebook have created, a world in which a document meant to last a lifetime can disappear in an instant, and a photograph meant as an impulsive gloat lives forever.
How is it that someone has a laptop where important files (files other than the OS and apps that can be re-installed from original media) aren't backed-up to removable media or a service like Carbonite, Mozy, etc.? This isn't 1995 when "backup" meant inserting and removing multiple 1.44MB floppies.

The training must not have been very good if you did not learn how to spell the acronym.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

O RLY? So this accident could have been avoided if the doctor was driving at 5km/hr?
