    Information is information.

    Go ahead and post your name/address/SSN/DOB and mothers maiden name. Since information wants to be free and all..

    Density in the U.S. and density in the other countries are not the same thing. We have low density spread over a much larger area.

    My nearest neighbor is 1/2mi away, the nearest to him is another 1/2mi. That's two homes in a 1 mile stretch. I'm also 15mi from the nearest town.

    That being said, I get DSL.

  12. Re:If you get arrested and/or get put on trial... on Hans Reiser Guilty of First Degree Murder · · Score: 1

    ^^ Exactly!

    Out of everything I learned in my law classes, that was the best advice. If an officer is asking you questions, you can ask I'm under arrest and if they no, you are free to leave without any further discussion. A officer doesn't have to tell you your rights right off the bat and they WILL try to get information before making the arrest.

    If someone close to you (close friend, gf/bf, spouse, etc.) is a victim of a serious or is killed, DO NOT answer questions without a lawyer. You will not be in your right mind and any little slip-ups (and you will make them, even when completely innocent) you might make will be used against you.

  14. Re:Bring a lot to the table on Bill Gates On the GPL — "We Disagree" · · Score: 1

    Like the above poster started, drugs that do well and make it into the market not only have to pay for themselves, but they have to pay for the 100's of others that failed.

    For every one drug that makes it into the market, there are many, many more that you will never hear of. Some of these failures might have 10 years (think many millions of dollars) of research behind them, or even more. The company is left with some knowledge of what and what not to do, but no way to recoup their costs.

    I work in pharmacy. If there is a therapeutic substitute that will save the customer money, we can quickly buzz the doctor and have it changed. PPI's and allergy medications are the most common.

    What are you stating is basically the case now. I won't use Zyrtec as an example since it's available OTC. If you were prescribed generic Allegra (fexofenadine), and found out that your insurance wouldn't cover it, or that it was too expensive, your pharmacist could call up the Doctor and request a change to something comparable. Getting drugs changed is not hard.

    I can understand where you are coming from, but even similar classed drugs don't work the same and it really takes a professional to understand the differences on a large scale.

    The problem is the resolution. A standard XP window will not fit and you will loose the bottom buttons or the top buttons/menu.

    No it's not normal. Almost everything here comes with at least a one year warranty. A lot of computers and computer parts come with a three year warranty.

    They are not required by law to have a three year warranty here or even a one year but I have never seen a new computer have under a one year warranty.
