In what way is it the US governments job to hook up NYC?
Don't you have capitalism over their in America?

Because you pay for it whether they die in the streets, default on treatment they can't afford, or get free healthcare.
Disposing of a corpse found on a street would cost less than a thousand dollars
Depends. What if they died of Ebola?
One of the things of a civil society is and has to be the fact that it will take care of those who cannot care for themselves
Nonsense. The tax-payer funded welfare state is a very recent invention — just over 100 years old. Are you claiming, ours — or British, or French, or Dutch — society was not "civil" in the 19th century?
You might want to think about the meaning of the term "Dickensian"
No, they plan to hang the X37-B's out to dry after washing them.
So you're comparing methane emissions from one small part of the US and finding that they're smaller than total human production of CO2?
Not really fair to immediately disregard the quality of the WiFi connection. It could be well in excess of the ISP connection.
Then the answer to your speedtest is: "your ISP is crap".
No, time to fix your ridiculous employment law.
In any sensible country this guy would take his ex employer to court and win big.
I know that you're a loon, but I'd just like to point out that ebola is not a small virus - it's pretty big as viruses go. (800 - 1000 nm, cf 30 - 300 nm for typical viruses)
What the hell does that mean?
I think the next release should use cuneiform numerals, just to differentiate from the Roman numerals in OS X releases.
That was the plan.
But then they realised that wouldn't work as slashdot still doesn't have working unicode support.
I would never have guessed:
drivers of the Subaru WRX, Pontiac GTO, and Scion FR-S get a higher percentage of tickets than drivers of any other cars
And I am flabbergasted that
the Ford Ecosport, the Land Rover LR4, and Chevy Sportvan
get fewer tickets.
Could it be that it's easier to make a Subaru WRX go over the speed limit than a Landy?
You seem to have the wrong end of the stick - mlw4428 is talking about whether the doctor/pharmacy/hospital is paid by the health insurer directly, or by the patient who is then reimbursed by the insurer.
He's also bringing up the ridiculous "America is different" argument in order to explain why Americans must pay out of their pockets or they will spend their whole lives in the ER, that apparently being how Americans want to spend their time.
You're very much correct about the UK. However France requires a copay and I don't disagree with that
My "copay" is 100% reimbursed by my mutuelle.
Truly free healthcare leads people to go to the ER for stuff their Primary Care Physician should be handling (as the uninsured do now).
Why? If I visit the ER I pay nothing on the spot, and the bills get paid by the securite sociale and my mutuelle later on. If I visit my doctor I have to fork over the cash or cheque and get reimbursed later.
The major advantage of seeing my doctor is that I don't have to wait for hours in the ER. (He even does house calls).
No one I know has a problem with paying copays, deductibles, or coinsurances
Why not? Ask someone in the UK what "copays, deductibles, or coinsurances" are and they will look at you blankly.

Heard that the next Space Shuttle is supposed to carry several Guernsey cows? It's gonna be the herd shot 'round the world.
