Comment Re:This just in (Score 2) 134

True, but most people don't think like this. Take civil service for example where there is virtually no oversight or accountability for the way time/money is spent, and for the most part the internet filters are off. If they were to poll the time spent surfing the web for personal use, the numbers would be sickening. A person who spends most of their time bullshiting is liked a whole lot more than the ones who spend all of their time getting the work done.

You missed the point entirely. Basically what is being said is "rich man who can afford exotic procedure from well trained professionals will cause poor people with life threatening conditions to seek the same type of treatment but will only receive scams from doctors who have no idea how to do stem cell procedures."

According to TFA, the surgery was a complete success and is doing what it was supposed to do.

Comment I work with this software every day... (Score 1) 86

CHCS and AHLTA are on the slower side. CHCS has an interface similiar to DOS. A big problem with both of them is that they require you to do the same thing over and over for simple tasks. They started rolling out essentris when I worked at labor and delivery, gotta say it was one of the fastest and most user friendly apps but best of all it pools information from one sheet to another which saves time. Also more secure for the fact that it requires you to log in each time you edit a note or add information, which makes it a lot easier to just share the same computer for several patients instead of having to log in and out for each user which can take a while with CHCS and AHLTA.

Submission + - Why gaming companies need a class action lawsuit.

StandardAI writes: Another lazy sunday of gaming, I open up bad company 2 and go to the server browser only to find that I am unable to connect. Really? I have never had problems in the past with this game. I am fucking sick and tired of companies not being held accountable for not providing services that they fucking advertise. If you don't have the infrastructure, knowledge, security, you shouldn't even be allowed to advertise your self as an on-line game. If a person meets all of the hardware requirements and has all of their software/OS/driver updates completed they should be able to run the fucking games. Instead you will thousands of people who are unable to play new releases online even after several patches are released. You are taking advantage of the fact that the corporations are always favored legally, FUCK YOU.

Submission + - Microsoft denies Ballmer's Windows 8 claims (thinq.co.uk)

StandardAI writes: "When Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer told a Japanese software developer conference yesterday that the next version of Windows would be called Windows 8 and would launch in 2012, you'd think he'd know what he's talking about.

After all, he only runs the company.

TFA has a hilarious picture of Ballmer bringing an apocalypse."

Submission + - Google for Nonprofits Launched to Kudos from NRDC

theodp writes: CNET reports that the new Google for Nonprofits program will provide approved U.S.-based nonprofit organizations with up to $10,000 a month in Google AdWords advertising, free or discounted use of Google Apps, and access to premium features on YouTube and Google's mapping technologies. Google maps and videos can actually help save the planet, boasts a promotional video accompanying the announcement, in which the Executive Director of the Natural Resources Defense Council explains that NRDC has been using Google tools to 'make vivid some of our environmental concerns,' like this viral anti-BP video, without having to pay a cent. NRDC also sang the praises of Google in a longer video last November, estimating they've received the benefits of more than $2.6MM in advertising for nary a dime. Quite a ringing endorsement, although one might want to consider it's coming from an organization that's pocketed millions from Google.org and millions more from the Schmidt Family Foundation, the nonprofit foundation of Google CEO Eric Schmidt and wife Wendy, who is also a member of NRDC's Board of Trustees.
