That is actually a very sad story, I know people who cannot afford heart and blood pressure medication and Medicare won't cover it for one reason or another.
Also, the privatization that occurred this January was horribly implemented.
The question then becomes, what kind of safeguards? Who to make them. I don't trust that our government is competent to make important decisions....
But how can this be fixed? I have often wondered this myself. How can we do what needs to be done without hitting the problems other countries face when doing similar things? What would be the best way to extend medical care and prescriptions drugs without the "issues" (from what people tell me they aren't horrible problems, but...) in Canada, or making the drug companies mad (make them mad, you loose office and can't do anymore...).
For a program I wrote (content managment), I sent XML over the XMLHttpRequest, I've never seen a reson to to jsut send data and have the JS parse it....
I know, it is ironic that I won't take the time to spell-check a quickly typed rant on a/., but I bash people for not caring and being lazy intellectually. I bash people for not wanting to learn. I bash people for thinking that they are better than everyone else and above the rules. I bash people for not paying attention to details in code. I bash people for hurrying through an important job just to get done.
I'll try better next time; I'll spell-check quickly types, unimportant documents next time. I promise.

And these are the people we are suppose to be entrusting our government too? I have never understood why people are so damn lazy that they can't do a little research into what they are doing. People juat want results, not knowlege about what they are doing.
If you want my opinion (or even if you don't...:-p) this is the achelle's(sp) heel of our society today, most people are lazy bastards that just want to get done with somethign without learning anything about it. People just want to finish school to get a degree and do whatever. This is BS. That takes moeny from people like me who want a PhD (I'm an undergrad at the momenet) in a research science (bio, chem, and/or the computational varients of them), but can't get enough money to even pay tuition and buy the books I need. I would more than gladly work for the school to do it, but money is tight and work-study is hard to come by here.
Another thing that pisses me off is incopetence. This article is a good example. Getting a few days to a week of for St. Patriks day is another (who the hell gets of for St. Pat's day?). I wish I had the time to do an indepth study of stupid laws that take up time in congress. Stupid piggy basks attached to laws (one was mentioned yesterday on/.) and just stupid things the legeslator has done. I would love to right a research report and send it to newspapers and my congressmen. I would even GNUFDL it so others could do the same...:-p (you know, since PD doens't exist, another thing....)
So yeah, in conclusion, someone without computer experince was told to do somethign, did it without thinking or asking (my gf would at least ask if she has to do something she's unsure about, then it becomes the attoney's fault, not her's) someone else who should know more.
That's acctuly what scares me most about the US now, the kind of mentality you just mocked is probably what goes on in the halls of the White House and Capitol.
Heck, mine ever came with a Tony Hawk skatboarding game (Its on some random external disk now, it took up too much room, and my drive was small to begin with)
That an mice wreak havoc on the carpal bones and tendons. We should all be using neural readers:-p But seriously, what could be more intuitive then a CLI, we should all just use that? it would make life so much easier.
On a personal note: I tried to do something like this a while back, for fun; but never got pass the design stange, as I am horrible with graphics (and my computer at the time couldn't crunch numbers fast enough, it was old for its day), kudos for getting it to look nice and work well.
Off-topic: I have profs that fail a paper out-right if we site ANY online source. You got it in a journal on-line, good, cite the paper journal, not the web site....
On-topic: Nothing can be said because there are no details readily avalibale. I must say, however, that anyone >= 18 should know the rules and not flirt with the law....
I have a white iBook, and the wrist area has gotten discoulored (took somwhere between 6months to a year to be noticable), but it doens't look horrid. I havn't seen the pics of these, but if its the same, it's not big deal. People, your hands are not clean, they never will be. Even washing them will only clean them until you touch somethign or start to release a little sweat or oil that keeps your skin healty...
What scares me more than terrorists, is the incompetences of our government. One more attack and they will have every exscuse to take more rights away...
I never thought that you could make so much $$ off advertising....
Anyway, I personaly think that a word processor would be more useful, but this is a good start on it. I can't wait to try it out, google has always been very good at releaseing good products, and that is why I like them. I'v learned a lot trying to imitate some of the things they do (to incorp ideas, such as the rich text box into my website, I know they existed before, but all I saw were buggy ones until gmail....)
I play commander keen (http://www.commander-keen.com/) (one of my favorite from my childhood and I still play, I'll admit it, even thought I beat avery game:-p), obviously this type (dos side scoller) can be counted in such a study... Pong, pac man, arcade games too can't. I think it's a little more complecated then "how much do you play video games." Maybe "How much do you play violent video games" But then I'm sure there is a grey area where a game is violent to some and not others...
This is acctuly very true. Most US students have no idea where any country is. Many soliders and most citizens are unable to find Iraq on an unmarked map. This is sad.
I found from my experince in high school that it wasn't interesting. I learned more doing out of school projects and debating with friends. Infact, I learned almost zilch form the system itself.
Over time doesn't DNA change? Mutations and viruses for a few reasons. For a crime investigation that ussaly isn't seperated by a lot of time this isn't a huge concern. But between 17 and 60?

OK guys, I've learned my lesson....

OS X has more than iTunes. For example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_(application) and (worste of all) http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/dashboard/. The Dashboard is a really nice tool, but can be very addicting...
