You are kidding right? The US has the most expensive and least efficient health care system in the world. Most industrialized countries use about 6-7% of their GDP for healthcare. In the US we use 13%!!! Canada uses 7% and covers all of their people, and their life span is 78 years in the friggin' freezing winters. US spends 13%, covers only 80% of their people, and the life span is 76 years and dropping.
Canada's medical care expensive and poor quality????? You have it completely assbackwards. What kind of crazy capitalist kool-aid have you been drinking?
Holy crap. Are you serious? $250,000 is above and beyond all economic damages. Economic damages include all medical costs, present and future, lost earnings of the little girl, which if she is a daughter of professor, lawyer etc. could be substantial i.e. it is reasonable to infer that she would have had a good paying job from age 25 to 60.
Economic damages easily can go up into the tens of millions. The 250,000 is for the "pain." I have been in a severe accident, in the hospital for a month, wheelchair for months, rehab for a few years and I can tell you, pain isn't worth $15,000,000, I don't care who you are. A couple hundred thousand, maybe.
You are making the false assumption that legacy means they are unqualified. Chances are that if their parents are rich then their parents are intelligent and thus would have intelligent children.
Rich people are generally rich for a reason. Their kids will likely be smart and could have gotten in on their own merits. Having connections never hurts though.
100 MPH? Try 300 MPH and at 8500' above the ground (This was reported in one of the news stories).
I don't care who you are, you can't aim a laser by hand at a moving target a mile and half away and hit a window that is maybe 3' x 3'. I still don't believe these stories
Some of the golf courses I have played at use a gps system in the carts so you know how far you are from the hole, what's up ahead of you etc.
It's great for that but it also lets the club house see when you leave the cart paths, which on a rainy day gets the marshall called out on you, and can turn a fun day of doing donuts into banishment from the club.
I don't remember ever considering intel boards high performance choices. Most motherboards reviews generally show intel boards as middle of the road performance wise.
Installing netscape 6 some how permamently disabled cookies in IE. Now if I want to log into/. or do anything else that reqires cookies I have to use netscape.
But this probably isn't a bug, I'm sure it's just a new feature.
In the Matrix she brings Neo back to life by telling him she loves him. She saves Val Kilmer, who should have been long dead from hypoxia, by giving him a thump on the chest. I think this woman is a supernatural force to be reckoned with.
I can tell you that after living with win9x crashing or locking up on a daily basis, having continuos uptime of more than 5 days seems very "stable". It's all relative.

No, my point was it had to have two divisors. 1 only has one, itself, which can be used twice but it is still only one number. The dictionary definition is not the correct 'mathematical' definition.
The definition of prime is a number that is divisible only by two numbers, 1 and the number itself. 1 is only divisible by one number which is 1. 1 may not be prime but it is odd.

Damn technology!

We should send one over, they could probably run their whole ICU on it.

Is this really a white "LED"? Sounds like a blue
led activating phosphorous to me, which hardly
seems would be the holy grail.
Don't get me wrong, it's great about Nakamura
developing the blue led, I just don't think we
should call this a white "LED".

Ever heard of a retro-virus?
Thanks, after a long night I needed something to get me laughing again.
