More than 2,815 fortnights ago, in fact.

It's been over 60 years since pearl harbour. When it's been 60 years since 9/11 most people outside of New York probably won't immediately know it either.

Is there any alternative to Microsoft for getting XP support? If another company said, hey, we'll give you equivalent support at 1/10 the cost MS asks, would that be legal or would MS sue them into oblivion? My government agency is also paying these fees for some legacy systems running on 2003.

Thanks for that link. I see how it can happen - whatever agency is responsible for collecting child support has no desire to get mired in making moral decisions in the many unique situations that exist, so they stick exactly to their policies. It seems like they really need an appeal process for special cases. I bet some of these people could sue but they are probably in no financial shape to do so.

Wow, my first Troll mod. I guess someone didn't get the reference?

Seems like a more complex description than it needs to be. Simply: ride-sharing implies the driver is going from origin A to destination B regardless if they have passengers or not.

But my doctor told me that in cases of a true rape, the man's body can prevent the pregnancy.

Seriously though, this needs a citation. I really really want to read about this story.

It's the man's right to be free of obligation to support a child that doesn't currently exist. If she falls on hard times and gets support from the state, the state may go after him to recoup support costs. While it's unclear if it this would hold up in court in this exact scenario, the chance of having to fight it in court at all is a pretty significant reason to want to block implantation. It is sad that his possible responsibilities is what is preventing her from having a child, but that is a failing of the legal framework, not him.

While I'm sure there were significant issues with *some* students, the prof himself sounds like he has problems also. I'm sure there are many who believe themselves infallible. When I attended university there were end-of-course surveys given to students in class in the last few weeks, to rate the professor, course material, etc. They were to be handed out by the professor with a student designated to collect and seal them while the professor left the room. One professor refused to hand them out, saying that it was preposterous for mere students to rate someone with 15 years experience. The student union had to step in. He was rated very poorly.

Yep, and they already exist up here: http://news.nationalpost.com/n...

This one actually. Same quote but better facial expression. http://publichealthmemes.tumbl...

I saw a meme recently, with a pic of a disgruntled looking doctor: "Remember that time you got Polio? That's right, you don't, because your parents got you vaccinated"

If you go to a walk-in clinic and just get whatever doctor is on staff, they probably will not ask you about your detailed history unless it pertains to whatever issue you are visiting them for. A walk-in doctor is their to help with your immediate problems, it's your family doctor that should be concerned with your long term health. And yes many doctors push the flu vaccine, it brings the clinic the money AND it's good for you and the community (it IS possible for both of those to be true). If you have a family doctor who you are registered with, and they have never asked for your immunization history, that strikes me as being rather lazy. However, and this may be shocking, you can be the one to bring it up.

So some guy who is not a doctor, not an expert on vaccines, and not a scientist, says something about vaccines that I can only assume was a gross exaggeration (and obviously untrue), therefore vaccines are bad?

They did pick up Danger 5, at least on Canadian Netflix.
