I wouldn't mind a one-button mouse being default - as long as there was a two-button mouse offered as an option. There are some in the Apple store, but none of 'em look Apple-ish. There's a company called DVForce (or sth. like that), but there mice are poorly built. So there's no really good option.
I just noticed this... it's their anti-piracy hotline, so it's supposed to be spaced as "R U Legit?", but it could also be read as "RULE GIT". Which they are not (as my parent post points out).
Or, call 1-800-RULEGIT. Some of the guys there will give you a key if you say you lost yours (no questions asked), others will only do it if you tell 'em you're moving an OEM OS to another computer. I've done it several times.
Or worse, phonemes that aren't like anything you've seen before. With Japanese ESL students, you can at least say, "l" and "r" are kinda like this other phoneme in this word you know. With, say, the German "ch" (as in ich, dich, mich, etc), getting it right is a lot harder (for Americans).
It's whether or not purely human ESCs are totipotent or not that is the issue. Transplantation issues can be taken care of, but totipotency cannot. And as long as they're contaminated, getting good (i.e., consistent) results will be difficult.
Correct, but the FDA does a decent job of cutting down on dangerous drugs. They do make mistakes (Vioxx, phen-fen, thalidomide), but they reduce the amount of dangerous crap out there.
I'm not talking about illegal drugs... I'm talking about stuff like Prozac, Zyrtec, etc.
And pseudoephedrine is not all that bad for you. Ephedra, on the other hand, is quite dangerous. They're not as closely linked as you might think. And greedy people will add cheaper substances to drugs that are legal, too, as long as those drugs are unregulated.
No. I'm saying that by allowing non-FDA approved drugs to be official, we'll be increasing incidents where people end up in the emergency room. As you said, we have a life/death issue here, and so, by trying to control the drugs that are available (while recognizing that we can never completely control the situation), we minimize the issue.
And alcohol is a separate issue. You still have to break a law to drive drunk... but drinking in moderation (i.e., the "recommended dosage") will not by itself send you to the emergency room.
There's a big difference, risk-wise, between the examples you gave (with the exception of dangerous sports) and using non-approved drugs. And don't tell me that the market will figure it all out - look at the number of idiots that used ephedra before it was banned.
OK... and when you (or someone else) takes a non-FDA drug, does that mean you waive all rights to suck up my tax dollars when you show up at the emergency room?
It's a Bavarian Fire Drill. I do the same with my electric wheelchair; I have a printout from dot.gov saying that it's been cleared for air transport without disconnecting the battery (which invariably breaks something), but there's no reason that couldn't be faked. Again, it's a Bavarian Fire Drill.

It's Xinhua.
You missed the joke ... go back and note the overuse of commas in the GGP.
Nice troll.

At what age do you think people would learn the proper use of punctuation the fastest?
Nice rationalizing :-)

No, Clinton was the first president to do so.

Except that if you show up in an emergency room, they're required to treat you (for a certain length of time), regardless of your ability to pay.
They got players with names like, "laser", and "blazer", and all kindsa "-azers"!

In response to a sibling post ... I too am posting this from FF 1.0
The movie was crappy. The book was good, though.
Hidden what now? We're looking at these pictures for a reason?

For some of us, small and attractive aren't issues. He said it'd go in his basement, after all.

It is possible to drive without the use of your arms. But it is also possible to hook up a radio to an appropriate control, so ...
