Why didn't you give us a link to that quote? Just curious.

And maybe the waiting periods for those hip replacements in Canada (for some reason, these articles always cite hip replacements) should be weighed against the people in the US who are simply denied hip replacement surgery by their insurance companies or cannot afford the out-of-pocket.

You see, waiting periods can be very misleading. You have to compare outcomes.

Too bad your mother didn't give you a name.

It's called the rent-a-friend program. Ditto frats.

I have one of those too but I've been too lazy to badcap the system it's in. It was a really great processor too, got it to OC to 3.2 with a $20 cooler master heat pipe and arctic silver iv. I bought that originally for $100, and then upgraded to this twice-the-cores X6 1045T later, for $110 shipped or so. You just can't beat the value of these mid-range AMD chips.

The whole reason they bought beats was for the licensing contracts... they are going to integrate a monthly subscription service into iTunes.

Carbon Dioxide. It's got what plants crave.

Now if we could just raise the level of electrolytes in the atmosphere, we'll have a veritable paradise.

That's a lot to assume based on nothing and in fact contrary to plain language of the document.

But that's really a side issue. No law should be passed in secret, or the text sequestered in a special room where only a representative or senator can read it and can't take notes or copies or get expert guidance on unfamiliar topics -- the congresspeople can't even discuss what they remember reading.

The ONLY reason this is being done in secret, is because the special corporate interests it is designed to further know people would bitch about it if it was public. That's anti-democratic and the entire process surrounding this bill should be enough of a basis, on its own, to reject it out of hand.

Still trucking along on a Phenom II X6 1045T... 6x2.8 GHz or 3x3.2 GHz still seems like a lot. I can't remember the last time I was CPU-bound. I have to spend more than a hundred bucks on a GPU, I guess.

Does this mean I'll be able to run gedit on my Ubuntu phone? I can hardly contain my excitement.

That's out of nowhere to you, but the computer is going to be able to see in the dark far outside the range of your headlights. Its headlights are going to be a convenience to other drivers, and an IR source for its night vision — which will have automatic gain control far outside the range of your pupils. It'll also likely have radar and lidar so even if it can't see the cow, it'll know it's there.

For a moment. Then someone will invent a better fuel cap for robots to grasp, and then there will be a brief flurry in gas cap retrofit work.

I am not impressed by the media narrative.

You will have to do better than that.

That's why I specifically picked media outlets from the "free market" Right. So how about the Wold Health Organization?

How about the Kaiser Foundation? They know a little about health care.

Have you ever wondered why you don't see people from Denmark or Germany or Sweden or Singapore flying over to the US for the superior health care? In fact, you know those stories about all the tens of thousands of Canadians running to the US for health care? It turned out to not be true.

For that matter, have you ever wondered why you don't see those populations fighting to flee their Socialist hellholes and coming to the US as political refugees?

I already know what Tim Cook wants to do with my DNA.

Keep earning it, I'll keep providing it. I'm not your parents, you're not my special snowflake.

Sure, pick the places that sort of work okay.

You don't think the US has the know-how to do something better than Germany or New Zealand or Israel or Singapore?
