I dunno. I've worked with Dell, Compaq, HP, IBM, and a host of smaller hardware maker devices, and the big boys like Compaq and IBM and Dell usually have their own drivers. It might be poorly packaged, like Compaq, but the drivers are almost always there. Sometimes I run into problems with older hardware, but that's not going to have XP installed on it anyway, for the most part.
FWIW, whenever I've had an XP installation go sour to the tune of 4 hours or more, it's been either because something is broken, or I've screwed it up.
Smaller hospitals with only 20 or 30 employees might have 5-10 nurses. But a hospital with 2,000 employees does not have 700 nurses. Maybe 100-150 at most. The larger a hospital gets, the more overhead and the more administration required, at all levels.
A friend of mine is an ICU nurse at a hospital in Indianapolis, and there are 400+ nurses who work there. Think about it. In each ACC ICU, there are eight nurses per shift, three shifts per day. That's 24. How many ACCs are there? Six. You're already up in the 140-150 range, and that's JUST for the Adult ICU. There are more nurses for NICU, and then there's the nurses for everyone else -- ER, inpatient, outpatient, therapy, wossnames, etc. Now, I don't know if the hospital has as few as 2000 employees, but I'm pretty sure they don't have 10,000 employees. They easily have 400-600 nurses.
Did the guy have blonde hair, or brown hair? Cause, you know, you can't trust those blondes; a blonde girl once broke my heart. Or myabe that was my wrist...
well, for one thing, common sense changes. 500 years ago, it would be perfectly normal in several European countries to marry your 12 year old daughter to someone much older. "Adulthood" started significantly earlier in the days before grammar school and cheerleading squads.
some were. Many were horrified. And it wouldn't surprise me to know that there were some americans in certain areas who weren't exactly disturbed by having a few thousand New Yorkers knocked off...
Once again, you don't seem to know much about New York City. Yes, a lot of it is high-rise buildings. But there are many trees and open spaces as well. While I may not have seen a cow outside of the Bronx Zoo before I was 16, I grew up bird-watching, playing soccer on live grass, and sitting under the shade of many trees.
"Tolerance" and "Open mindedness" are leftist P.C. gobblygook. People use them to mean "if you don't agree with me, then you are closed minded and/or intolerant."
John, Chapter 8, Verse 7: "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her."
once again -- twice now (heh-heh) you're being binary. I can (and am) as outraged about the US torturing prisoners as I am about the general state of human rights and prisoner treatement in most middle-eastern countries.
Except for one thing. We're supposed to be better than that. For Saudi Arabia, for example to move from chopping of the heads of thieves to chopping off the hands of thieves is a very very small incremental improvement.
For the US and/or US Military to resort to torture, however, is a big step DOWN.
the world is not nearly as binary as you seem to want it to be. Your "either/or" comments pretty much don't make sense. Furthermore, you're tarring with the exact same brush you complain about -- SOME liberals/leftwingers are intolerant. They're human, and therefore fallable, just like you. What a concept.
And it would appear you haven't been to NYC _ever_ -- I grew up there, and there are plenty of trees all over the place, not just in Central Park.
he did understand what "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" meant. That it results in a world that's blind and toothless.
I am always amazed that in a world where people like Buddha and Gandhi and Jesus are upheld as prophets and dieties for preaching tolerance and nonviolence, such large masses of people who purport to believe in their message simply... don't.
given that the government has become essentially a division of Corporations R Us, think about how you might feel if the government sold the conversation you had with an oncologist to your HMO.
Freedom requires sacrifice. Better a hundred 9/11 than fascism and intrusion. And I say that being born and bred a New Yorker who grew up in the shadows of the WTC, supported the first Gulf War, and votes on the issues, not a straight party line.
I'm all for letting kids make their own mistakes, but my seven year old doesn't have the judgement to know whether or not he's damaging his ear-drums. When he was four, he didn't have the judgement to not play in traffic. When he's fifteen, he may not have the judgement to do something that I haven't even thought of yet. Your four-, seven- and fifteen-year-olds may vary.
Parenting is about setting boundaries, and implementing discipline when those boundaries are violated. Parenting is _also_ about learning how your own children grow and how to move those boundaries appropriately. It's because of this process, and that all kids are different, that most parenting books are utter crap. To be a good parent, you have to KNOW your kids.
Because nurses aren't qualified to examine the patients physical body, much less take samples?
Uh... yeah, they are. When you go to the doctor, the nurse will weigh you, measure your height, take your blood pressure, your pulse, your temperature, look in your ears and down your throat. In the ER or Surgery or ICU or any number of other in-hospital departments, nurses will run IVs, order medication, change bandages, clean wounds. A Nurse Midwife is qualified to stitch a mother up if necessary.
Nurses frequently know more than the doctors around them. They aren't just qualified to examine the patient's body and take samples, they're REQUIRED to.
"the church", as you say "helps people" -- it's own people. I'm not talking about soup-kitchens, necessarily, but _real_ help -- rebuilding houses, lending/giving money, that sort of thing. Increasingly, in America, if you're not willing to convert, you're not going to be helped.
"Do unto others" is brilliant philosophy. I only with more Christians (and Muslims and Jews) believed it.

I don't know about the rest of you... But how fast a document opens is one of my last concerns here.

if it's cold fusion, shouldn't it be suddenly going "up in a ball of ice"? :P

do they still put the ceral out all the time so you can eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner like I used to?
yes, you can buy a track from iTMS, burn it to CD, and then rip it to MP3, all using the iTunes software.
which helps to explain why so many Iraqis are angry with the US, doesn't it, given that they've lost a much much larger portion of their population.

the jump to warp isn't a speed thing, it's a dimensional thing. Hence the term "warp". It's warping space.
And it's why big turns at impulse speed create actual intertia.

When I'm in my 20s trying to pay back college loans do I really want to be supporting guys in their 40s and 50s getting out of prison?
Simple. Ask yourself, "What Would Jesus Do?"
Somehow, I bet the answer isn't what you imply YOU would do.
