I've visited Europe a few times, but have never needed any healthcare there. But, I watch C-SPAN a lot, especially when they have the British or Canadian House of Commons questions'. Almost every time, the representatives are complaining about backlogs in healthcare, usually weeks, sometimes months, lack of doctors, lack of equipment, etc.
Here, in the midwest of the US, I can get a doctor's appointment within hours. And I've never been to the doctor and needed a test that couldn't be done that same day (and I've had a lot of complex tests done). I simply can't imagine living somewhere where I would have to wait weeks for either. And it is very cheap here, after insurance (which is also relatively cheap). I think it's usually less than ~$350 a month or ~4200 a year for *great* insurance for an entire family. But it ends up being less than that with tax benefits, etc.
The only people that could ever complain about this are those working menial jobs that don't have insurance. And I'm sorry, I'm not willing to compromise my (currently) great healthcare to go to something mediocre or crappy solely because these people didn't go to college.
Ann Coulter has factual errors in her book and that has to do with what exactly? Lots of authors have factual errors. The point is she's a well-known conservative, and in her opinion, the NYT is liberal. That's all that matters. But she is just one of many.
I read the Times on average once every two weeks, and found it to be liberal. And I have read a few chapters from Coulter's book, and I found them interesting and agreed with most of her opinions.
Once again, try reading the some editorial pages from a newspaper in rural Kansas sometime. That is conservative. There's this game liberals play where they try to convince others that they're in the middle, not on the left. And it works relatively well on the coasts, were much of population is liberal. These people mistakenly believe they're in the middle (well they are, relative to the others around them), when in fact they're not (relative to the entire country).
Oh come on, that's just anecdotal evidence in both cases. News outlets are duped constantly, all the time, everyday of the week. Sometimes they're duped on little things, sometimes they're duped big time. It happens to liberal outlets, conservative outlets, and middle outlets. All that can be concluded from any of this is that journalists need to start doing their research better and confirming things they hear. But that won't happen anytime soon since there is always a rush to be number one.
You're the retard. It's generally well-known that the New York Times is a liberal newspaper. Conservatives are frequently complaining about it (Fox News, Ann Coulter's new book,... I could go on and on... do a search on Google to see plenty of rantings). In fact, the NYT editoral pages rival those of San Francisco's major paper (Daily Chronicle?).
Maybe they're not liberal enough for you, but they are definitely pretty far left of center. I don't know where you're from, but try spending some time in middle America, and you'll see just how liberal the coasts are.
Fox News would not be the first news organization to be deceived. The New York Times in March reported the account of a former Russian army officer who said he fled the fighting in Chechnya in 1999 to escape pressure to kill civilians. On Saturday, The Times quoted Russian officials and acquaintances as saying he was not serving in the army at the time.
Note that the New York Times is one of the most liberal of major newspapers in the country. It happens to all news organizations. Nice trolling!
I invite you over to prove otherwise. I'll even set you up a default install. For your reference, I'm running "Microsoft Windows 2000, 5.00.2195, Service Pack 3" obtained through MSDN.
I've had my Win2000 boxes shut off on occasion. It doesn't run chkdsk when I turn it back on. Not even in the background, because the HD LED is right in front me.
Maybe you have set that way, but I know I haven't changed in default settings in that regard.
I can't stand you people that purposely lie and distort the truth in an attempt to bolster your argument.
Definately, you gotta do what you love. Unless the difference in money is obscene, like millions of dollars. Then you could do it a couple years and retire...
That's the humanities for you, sucker. Us science/enginerring types get much more money. Hell, look at what a CS prof makes compared to a English prof. (but then also a Business prof makes much more than a CS prof.)
In almost every CS, Math, and Philosophy graduate program I've looked at (and I've looked at a lot!), all tuition is waived when you have an assistantship. Some schools have fees, which are usually less than $1000 a year. But then some schools have graduate unions (for example, my school), so you're making much more.
If this is true, which I don't believe it is, then please provide the location of the post office doing this. I will happily report it to the postmaster general for you.
Almost all mail I send doesn't have a return address on it. I haven't had a piece of mail lost in over 15 years, and I send and receive a lot of mail.
And is a set union operation. Thus you can say "my car and it's engine are old", even though the engine is in fact part of the car. Since the article is from the BBC, it makes sense that they might want to explicitly mention the UK.
Being someone who grew up in Des Moines, I can assure everyone that it is quite boring. There are several smaller towns in Iowa that have much more things to do and more of a large-city feel.
I'm sick of you people who act like the UN or the Security Council are blessed by God. It's just an organization. It's no different than the local bridge club. You can ask to be a member, they can accept you as a member, they can revoke your membership, but at no time can they tell you what to do.
Part of the agreement was that the U.S. would maintain a dialogue with N.K regarding future economic and diplomatic concerns.
Citation, please? No one has an obligation to talk to anyone else.
And building them small isn't really possible without testing.
Exactly, the only reason for testing is to fill in the missing holes (ie figure out the practicalities) of building nukes. This information isn't readily available, each nation/group needs to figure it out on their own.
They won't. The only guarantee they have to safety is their nuclear arsenal. Why sell the thing that keeps you safe? You may think, "Oh, but they can sell them secretely and still claim they have it." The world intelligence is pretty good, and that ruse wouldn't last long.
Most of the process of getting nukes is gaining the technical expertise to build them. They can sell this without losing it. Also, they can keep some plutonium and sell some. How many nuclear weapons does one terrorist or rogue nation need to cause trouble? Exactly, one.

I think it still doesn't matter. We invented the shit, and we'll do what we want to with it.

Yes, of course, you are all-knowing, and I should educate myself. Thank you, sorry to have bothered you.
PS The population of the US is >260 mil. 9/260 = 3%
I'm not sure what to make of that rambling.

This isn't the problem described, nor is it a problem at all. And this is how it will remain, until someone other than PIR takes over .org.

This is true.
Great! I'll be right over to break down the door and take them. Thanks!
You, my new "friend", are one insightful motherfucker. We need more of you around here (on Slashdot and in the USA).

I think the UN/UNSEC need to be reformed drastically.
Reformed as in disbanded, cancelled, shot to hell? Ok I agree with you there.

Yeah, I'll be spending the next week on the IPv6 migration
If it would only take a week, I see no problem. Hell, I spend a week figuring out the new hole puncher.

chemical/petroleum no, water yes.
After the US didn't do shit to help them.
The US fully complied with the agreement.
They won't. The only guarantee they have to safety is their nuclear arsenal. Why sell the thing that keeps you safe? You may think, "Oh, but they can sell them secretely and still claim they have it." The world intelligence is pretty good, and that ruse wouldn't last long.

You just made his point.
