In BC, we run the graduated license system: (http://www.icbc.com/licensing/lic_getlic_undglp.asp)
Step 1: Learner's licence. Must drive with a licensed driver + max 1 other passenger. 0% tolerance on alcohol and no cell phone/mobile devices (hands free or other) use. Also a limit on driving hours (not early AM). Lasts minimum 12 months (http://www.icbc.com/driver-licensing/getting-licensed/graduated-licensing/learners-stage). Need to carry a "L" sign on your car to let other drivers know you are a new driver.
Step 2: Novice license. Drop the licensed driver supervisor and driving hour restriction. (http://www.icbc.com/driver-licensing/getting-licensed/graduated-licensing/novice-stage). Lasts 24 months (reduce by 6 months with driving courses). Need to carry a "N" on your car to let other drivers know you are a new driver.
Step 3: Take a test and you get your full license.
So if I say that Microsoft sucks to impose a plus rating, a "I use Linux to listen to my pirated ogg encoded music" for additional plus, and let you know that in Soviet Russia, comments moderate you, I should get a +5 troll?
Its not really a gift certificate. You aren't buying something at $1 in == $1 out. You're pre-buying a meal, product or package at x% less than the marked price, pre-paying for it, and getting the discounted rate according to a set of listed terms.
If you get a hotel room at the internet pre-pay non-refundable rate and decide not to stay there, you don't get a refund either.
On their facebook forum, their magazine has been deconstructed to show where all of their content came from. Its not just recipes, but articles and pictures as well
Also hospitals are required by law to treat patients in emergencies even if they can't pay.
I heard about that, I think, but I thought they just had to provide the service. Is there anything that says they can't seek reimbursement for the service in the future?
In fact once when I was up there and was in a car accident (friend was driving) the hospital looked at us anyways while we were waiting for my friends cut to get tidied up. I kept telling her, I'm Alright and I dont have insurance in your country.
she said," you dont have it, this is free. even for people from outside the country"
As far as i know (as a Canadian), out of country visitors typically pay for care. However, in this instance it was as a result of a vehicle accident, so the bill may have been applied against you friends' car insurance. Anytime I got to a clinic or hospital, I believe they ask if its related to a work or car accident because it gets billed to them differently.

Not quite every 10 years, but a harder entrance.

That's how restraining orders work.

You can't use the world 'Tolkien' or the Tolkien estate will be after you.

Here's the clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVq4_HhBK8Y
Depends on the number of trips / year. If one trip is 16 GB (8 DVD backup set), then the poster would have to go on 12 trips per year every year.
$40 for 200 dvds (400 GB assuming an extra copy is made for off-site) for DVDs that will last more than 1 year vs $54 for 1 year.
I agree of the effort part.
Might not be good for 250GB at once, but after a trip, I burn the photos to a set of DVDs. One set to my work DVD case, one set kept at home.
I could comment about it until I'm red in the face, but I'm not sure if anybody will listen until the spelling is corrected.
I think red dwarf brought this up:

Lossless?
V = IR
Lets say your wire has .1 ohm every km of length. Transmit 1A over that distance.
1 * .1 = .1V loss on that km. Transmit it 10 km. You'll drop 1V on the line.
That, or bring out your theoretical 0 ohm wire.
Google maps says kayak or jet ski depending where you are coming from.

Quality of care and responsiveness to the patient matter a lot too
Yes it does. If I understand the current US system, if you have no money, you get no response (or go into debt and go bankrupt).

In fact, I wouldn't even mention it to them. Its a bit of a prickly subject.
Semprini!
Remember your audience. This is slashdot. To get a full insightful moderation, you need to add microsoft in a negative connotation.
If you mentioned how Microsoft has been stopping cold fusion by using death panels, then it would have been +5 informative instead of funny.
There is a link in TFA to the number. It gives an abbreviated version first, but links to the full number as well:
