If you're going to steal the drugs, you're just going to slip into the room, snip the tube, and walk out with the bottle of narcotics. You're not going to bother to hack the system so that it doses out an extra mg or two for you to siphon off. Even if you did manage to bypass any other hurdles and got the machine to dose out more than it was suppose to, at most you'd get fairly limited supply before they realized they went through a bottle of narcotics far faster than the machine should have been administrating it.

Arsehole Puckering Up! :P :P :P

well, it would certainly make finding a seat on the bus easier.

HURD is here.

Debian GNU/Hurd 2015 released! Details.

It is with huge pleasure that the Debian GNU/Hurd team announces the release of Debian GNU/Hurd 2015.

This is a snapshot of Debian "sid" at the time of the stable Debian "jessie" release (April 2015), so it is mostly based on the same sources. It is not an official Debian release, but it is an official Debian GNU/Hurd port release.

It's not just this single issue. It's any number of things. The media latches onto a headlline of it's choosing and wont let go of it. Anything that contradicts the "narrative" is suppressed. The entire news media is a farce (and not just game journalism).

I've seen state ratings that have flatly contradicted my own personal first hand experience.

Plus the "price" of American healthcare is potentially a very misleading thing as others (and myself) have already indicated.

The OP was about lack of transparency in billing and quickly got hijacked by eurotrash trying to repeat the same tired media narrative about socialized medicine and American healthcare. This kind of stupidity is how we end up with "reform" legislation that doesn't address the relevant crap.

People that are genuinely poor have a public option to fall back on.

People that are not genuinely poor are merely confronted with services that are as expensive as the consumer products they willingly indulge in without ever considering the implications.

sorry bad cite my droid4 had webtop and i didn't read the first linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_Atrix_2

short answer: yes.

In other words, you have to go to a lot of bother that really shouldn't occur to begin with. ALL billing artifacts should make sense BY DEFAULT. It should not require extra special diligence on the part of a patient (or any other sort of customer) to get a real bill or see what the real costs are.

The fact that this is not the norm is directly attributable to the "someone else will pay for it" mentality.

I'm pretty sure that the drug that I am on currently isn't allowed by the NHS because it's too expensive. Although it's not just the UK. Our own "public options" have similar problems where expensive treatments aren't covered either.

and now, sun and DEC are both long gone and one of them, nearly entirely forgotton. (sad, I worked at both of those fine companies and was lucky to have had the chance to work at such places).

linux is here, but vax and vms and alpha (and ultrix; I ran ultrix for a while) are all pretty much unknowns today.

wonder how long linux still remain relevant? I don't see it going away, but then again, I said the same of sun and DEC (and SGI, lets throw them in there, too. yeah, I was there, too, lol.).

ha!

the only comment I have to yours is:

"well done"

Well my keyboard needed washing anyway.

but this involved pizza, so it was probably more of a case of sausageography.

and it happened online, so it was really iSausageography.
