Not abortion. Fertility clinics. Create zygotes/fetuses for "convenience" because it's so expensive to do IVF, then they throw away the extras. Why is that OK with Evangelicals?
Isn't gold essentially a fiat currency? It doesn't really have any inherent value other than that it is (relatively) rare. Silk or salt or any number of other things have utility, unlike gold.
In Dragon's Egg, Forward describes the history and development of a life form (the Cheela) that evolves on the surface of a neutron star (a highly dense collapsed star, about 20 km in diameter). This is the "dragon's egg" of the title, so named because from Earth it is observed to be near the tail of the constellation Draco ("the dragon"). The Cheela develop sentience and intelligence, despite their relative small size (an individual Cheela has approximately the volume of a sesame seed, but the mass of a human) and an intense gravity field that restricts their movement in the third dimension. Much of the book concerns the biologic and social development of the Cheela; a subplot is the arrival of a human vessel nearby the neutron star, and the eventual contact that is made between the humans and the Cheela. A major problem in this contact is that the Cheela live a million times more quickly than humans do; a Cheela year goes by in about 30 human seconds.
Actually NAT DOES provide some sort of security. That is because by default nobody can see which devices sit behind the NAT.
Well, kinda-sorta. If you look at the behavior of the IPid field of outbound TCP packets coming from a NAT/PAT router, which most of the time is untouched by the router, as well as the TTL field, you can make a pretty good guess as to how many devices are behind the router, and a rough guess as to their OSes.
The IPid field is usually used as a packet counter for a given OS, so it will increase in value by 1 for every packet sent. So if you have a few machines, each counting, you can group the outbound packets by IPid value. Also, various OSes have different default values for the TTL field (64, 128), so you can make a guess as to what OS it is as well.

I can see it now, Obamacare paying for medical marijuana with my tax dollars.
Good thing the greedy fucks on Wall Street have Bushcare (and maybe McCaincare), I'm so glad my $700 BILLION went to bail them out of bad business decisions instead of going to healthcare.
The Amazon search in that top-right search box is an Amazon Affiliate search - tag=mozilla-20 gets added into your Amazon search URL, and they get a minimum of 4% of the purchase price provided you went through their affiliate link last (I don't see why people gripe about this kind of thing so often, it only costs Amazon money, not the purchaser)
Ah, but that cost is passed on to the consumer (in aggregate).
product price = base product price + average percentage of orders that have an affiliate payment * average amount of affiliate payment
You do realize that while the name stays the same over the decades (and centuries), their views change, right? That was more 40 years ago.
The South is still full of rabid racists and various crazies. They used to vote Democrat, now they vote Republican. You will be known by the company you keep...
You have no idea what Bush's true nature is. Only Bush himself knows that.

every time George got up from his seat, he would place his hand on our friend's shoulder, ask how she was doing or some other gesture showing concern. There were no cameras around or press to report his "kindness". He was not running for office or had any other reason to fake concern. He was genuine.
So far as I know the only people in Gitmo are those who tried to kill us or support those trying to kill us. That's a bit different than the Gulag which stored political dissidents.
I think what the American public doesn't know about this administration's actions could fill an aircraft hangar.

Where's my ATI Rage Pro when I need it? 2MB VRAM! Get off my lawn!
Does Boot 'n' Nuke work with external devices? I love that CD.
The Maxxx?
Isn't just "The Maxx"? Also, I miss THE HEAD!

That's the question that was being asked.
My wife, who once worked in the "front office" area of a medical practice (staffed entirely by women) would disagree with you on this one.

I'm honestly asking, not trolling.
Well, does the form submit to a secure URL?
Nothing wrong with having the form on an unsecured page if it submits to a secure URL, other than confusing folks. ;)
You should really read Dragon's Egg:

The two guys represent the COMPUTERS (or maybe the OS, whatever), not the users.

I used a touch-screen voting machine in the 2004 presidential election in Falls Church, Virginia.
Ah, good ol' ius primæ noctis.
Clinton, reportedly, has personally authored a total of two (that's 2, not 2000) e-mails in eight years in office.
And I heard Reagan didn't write any! What an idiot!
Commercial speech does not get 1st amendment protection.
You may position yourself as an intellectual, but the intelligent do not take pleasure in humiliating those slightly more ignorant.
'Slightly'? Really? rofl
Barack Obama got PWNED: McCain/Palin '08!
