Wait wait wait. Are you saying that you're fat because you have type II diabetes? That isn't how it works. Furthermore, allergies aren't a choice, eating to the point that you're too big to actually fit into a seat is.
If you wound up at the ER then you obviously DIDN'T take it upon yourself to avoid it. And the reason for not having a nitrile free zone is because nitrile GENERALLY ISN'T SERVED ON AN AIRPLANE YOU DIPSHIT. Christ, you're comparing two completely different things here.
Let's just not revive anyone at the ER then, just like nature intended. Fall off a bike? Oh, should have been more careful. Heart attack? Well, nature didn't intend for us to make this defibrillator, so you can die too.
Because you're the one with the fucking stupid idea of bringing an animal onto a plane. The argument here is "Well, they have an allergy they can't control but that is less important than my WANT to bring my precious cat on an airplane". How much more selfish could you actually get, really?
You are aware that you're completely wrong, right? Repeatedly exposing yourself to toxic substances can actually make you more allergic. This is why some people will be stung by a bee once with no ill effects only to go into full on anaphylactic shock when they're stung again 3 months later.
Before you go spouting off more misguided bullshit, please kill yourself or consult a doctor or someone with some intelligence and training in the area. Thanks.
"Should we ban dogs and cats from traveling in planes?" I thought we did that already. I was under the impression that you couldn't take your pets along except for the seeing eye dogs.
It's voluntary for the COMPANY. You, as the consumer, don't have any obligation to return your stuff, but you'd be somewhat stupid not to. An involuntary recall is just where the CPSC legally forces the company to recall the product.
It's been mentioned before, but the audits are something you agree to when you purchase volume licensing. It allows the company to occasionally come in and check to make sure that you're paying for everything you're using.
Now, I don't believe that there's anything that says you have to allow the company onto your premises or any access to your network. I'm pretty sure it's just a report regarding how many computers are using how many licenses.
No, more likely it will be something not even close to that because it will be written by the telcos themselves. Their lobbyists draft legislation, hand it to a congressman, pay them fuckloads of money in legal bribes and all of a sudden you'll see documents stating that "broadband" is actually physically impossible to run to some areas and thus compliance with the law is "optional".
First of all, full body scanners are a fucking poor solution to terrorism for two reasons: 1. Terrorists will find another way around it anyway. 2. You're X-raying someone every single time they fly. It doesn't take a radiologist to tell you that lots of x-rays are bad.
We're effectively willing to slowly sterilize frequent fliers over the next 10 years because of some jackasses putting explosives in their shoes/underwear. The terrorists have already won. I mean, I don't think that even the most extreme terrorist would have thought that they would be able to have a government agree to irradiate its citizens.
But anyway, how do doctors get around taking x-rays and CT scans of minors for medical reasons? I mean, it's not like children have never broken their pelvis before. Surely there already exists some exception to this child pornography law to allow the use of x-rays and CT scans for legitimate purposes.
Sorry, what exactly is your point here? What's wrong with calling a janitor a "custodian", is there a difference? I don't here people bitching when someone refers to a medical doctor as "doc".
In my experience, people who insist that other people call them by their formal title usually have jobs that have titles that are designed to sound more important than they really are. You only argue the semantics of your job title if your job isn't important enough to be recognized and respected. There seems to be this trend that people don't like admitting that their job is less glamorous than other people's. For example, we have janitors being called "building facilities technician" and sysadmins being called "Information technology and computer systems infrastructure engineer".
You are a computer guy, not an engineer, get over it. Making people feel bad because they didn't use your bullshit title doesn't say anything more than that you're a jackass who didn't quite make it as far as he wanted in his career and treats other people like crap to feel better.
We're not proactively heating the earth's atmosphere. All that heat that is going to be there was already going to be there because it's from the sun. We're just channeling the hot air up through a tube on its way up, where it would go with or without the tube.
Yeah, well I said that this wasn't the case... so there. If anyone can provide actual links to actual logs (not something on pastebin that any dipshit can make up in all of 5 minutes) then I'll buy that argument.
Until then it's all just a bunch of bullshit nonsense used to further someone's argument because they don't have any REAL evidence.
The lawyer is basing his findings on a false premise: "any particle physicists would be afraid for their livelihoods". This is not the case. There are a lot of particle physicists that are not working for CERN and whose research does no depend on CERN nor the LHC.
Also the bit about "anybody else afraid for their lives". I am not afraid for my life.
I am neither a particle physicist nor afraid for my life, there is no problem.
Whether or not the country is "allowed" to do something is entirely irrelevant. If the government has the force to back it up, it's allowed to do it. Unless you want to start an armed coup and overthrow the government based on a licensing snafu, you're shit out of luck if they decide that they don't want to pay you anything.
That would work brilliantly, until China does the exact same thing to us. The whole "being invested in other nations" thing works both ways. China owns plenty of US debt. Of course, that's assuming that us fucking over the entire relationship between us and china won't cause china to declare war. The main disincentive for war between us and china is that we depend on each other economically. If either country is stupid enough to collapse that link, we're all potentially fucked.
"It is a certainty that any well-funded terrorist group will eventually have access to nuclear-scale weapons, and probably in the next hundred years"
Care to back that up with anything more than complete nonsense? Why is it an eventuality? Bullshit like this, often called "facts", is what scares people. It's not true, there's no evidence to suggest it is true, but it sounds plausible enough that people believe it anyway and get scared.
We're not talking about a horde of crying babies whining that they lost some in game item. We're talking about a bunch of people that think that the server admins should effectively restore a backup from a time before the servers completely fucked themselves into the ground.
We're effectively talking about replacing email here that got lost due to a server failure, unless that's "attempting to blame someone for the purposes of whining", there's nothing childish about it.
"I also think that the abmulance chasers should not be allowed to sue for any drug that has been approved by the FDA"
I completely disagree. The FDA is not some magical organization that can predict every single possible negative consequence of every single drug ever sent to their offices. If a drug slipped by that happens to cause severe problems in some patients 10 years down the road, then they should be able to sue someone. Everyone may have been as careful as possible, but there was still something overlooked, or some mistake made, and that has consequences.

"(and an extremely well ventilated room with excellent air filtration at that)"
What airlines do you fly on that are well ventilated and will filtered?
This implies that you waited until your honeymoon to have sex. Yeah, that is quite unfortunate.

Please go research what the term "antibody" means and why that last statement was incorrect. Thanks.

Are you sure that wasn't because you had a professional CRT designed for color accuracy rather than reaction time?
That's not a bug, it's a security feature. At least, that's how we'll market it.
