I've got a better idea: how about not requiring me to pay for somebody else's elective health care, regardless of whether it's for contraception or not, and regardless of what my religious beliefs (if any) are?
OP is a tourist, and there's a big difference between a tourist and a terrorist.
After going through customs a couple times, I'm pretty sure the US government considers them to be the same thing.
Do you really believe that an unemployed white guy is going to pick lettuce?
If the price is right, of course they will. Just because you're a lazy bastard doesn't mean everyone is.
But... they do!
A Brazillian refers to himself as American if using the english language.

It's kind of amusing that your link starts with the assertion: "America is the name of a whole continent."
Which is, of course, incorrect. There is no continent called America.
That's not discrimination. That's Progress.
As much as I hate "USian", what's the preferred alternative? American? America isn't a country, it's a pair of continents. Argentinians are no less American than New Yorkers are. Argentinians are no less American than New Yorkers are.
Nobody uses the term "American" to refer to a resident of one of the two American continents. That would be as dumb as referring to somebody as a "Eurasian", or an "Afro-European." Argentinians aren't "American;" if you insist on referring to them as residents of a continent, then they are "South Americans."
The "USian" name is an attempt by the PC brigade to solve a problem that doesn't actually exist. In English, the term "American" when applied to a person always refers to citizens of the United States of America.
Aside from the whole organic-3D-printing-of-entire-humans angle...
The article doesn't actually describe anything similar to 3D printing either. The justification for calling it that is pretty much: 3D printing involves assembling a final product from raw materials; the proposal also involves assembling a final product from raw materials; therefore we're talking about 3D printing.
In general the idea is interesting -- although it's hardly new, and we're so far from the technology level required to do it that it's still in the realm of science fiction -- but the 3D printing angle is nonsense.
If people don't want to die a a horrid painful death they should choose their parents better
If people don't want to die a horrid painful death, they should avoid being born in the first place. What do you think most of us have to look forward to in the last couple years of our lives?
Not to sound cold, but this type of situation a good example for why you should make a living will.
Does this poor lady want to go on tied to machines or does she want to be unplugged? The choice should be hers, but without knowing her wishes, that makes it a no-win situation.
Since she's conscious and communicating, presumably they could just ask her.
Reason we don't? No one thought of it when everyone was signing the agreements not to do weapons stuff in space.
... and it's really difficult (takes an awful lot of energy) to fly something into the sun. And it's wasting what will in the future be a valuable resource. Not to mention that no matter how safe your rocket design is, strapping your nuclear waste on top of hundreds of tons of explosives is inherently more risky than putting it into a hole in the ground.
The idea is nothing new; I'm sure people have been bandying it about since the first nuclear power plants came online. But it's really not a good idea.
Just because one set of criminals gets off easier than they should, it does not follow that all other criminals should be treated leniently.
This hit every other website a day and a half ago.
But that's impossible! I thought the whole reason that slashdot "editors" don't proofread or dupe-check was so that they could get the stories posted faster.
I also found this comical link to "End of Pi Found" on some Physics forum:
*SPOILER ALERT*
It's a '4'.
What's with people trotting out the "looks ugly" criticism?
Because if the goal is to get people driving electric cars, then aesthetics are important.
The submitter used a link to the announcement of a 4.2.1 minor bugfix release, which isn't very informative if you want to know about new features in 4.2.x. They really should have linked to this announcement instead, which says:
Hello everyone,
it is my pleasure to announce release of GNU Screen v.4.2.0
available at http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/screen/
(I will also upload to ftp.gnu.org as soon as my access is authorized)
Many are probably using it due to their distributions packaging
development versions, so they know at least some of changes.
Short list of them:
* layouts
* window groups
* better mouse support
* vertical split
* new and expanded commands
For full list of changes please check Changelog.
Please note that due to some changes it may be not possible to attach
to sessions created with older binaries.
With this I also plan to put v.4 into maintenance mode and start
developing v.5 with cleaned up source code, new features (some already
in development tree, currently outside of official repository):
* 256 color hardstatus
* truecolor
* firstline hardstatus
* top line caption
and more
