Yeah, the problem with government mandated insurance purchases is that it's not single payer government provided health cover, like the rest of the civilised world provides.

And btw, i'm not an American.

Yeah, you most certainly could change your insurance company.

Unless, of course, you wanted to change because you were dissatisfied with the way your current provider was dealing with your current condition.

I love how it's always "because the government knows better than you or your Doctor", but I never see "because the insurance company whose main purpose is to make as much profit as possible knows better than you or your Doctor"

Han has much nicer boobs than I remember.

Having worked in a Army reserve unit in the early 90s in an IT-like capacity, we were told if we were overrun, the ammo depot's records had to be wiped by thermite, not "writing zeros" or whatever. This is public knowledge, read the public TMs. There is probably a very good reason when going up against "the bad guys" you only trust thermite, and going up against internal investigators and auditors, "trust us, writing zeros is good enough"

Of course, that might have something to do with the fact that zeroing out the hard drives takes a not insignificant amount of time compared with just blowing them up. I've never been in the military myself, but I would hazard a guess that you might be under some time pressures if your base is being overrun by the enemy.

Somehow you missed the very next line of the article ....

All the data that Johnson was able to retrieve from un-allocated space came after that overwrite, he said.

I'm just not sure I understand the fundamental difference between "you're not allowed to do this, and if you do it you'll get punished" and "you're allowed to do this, but if you do it you'll get punished"

You know when I look at the Constitution, I don't find in there any place where it mentions a right to be free from libel. I do, however, find a right to freedom of speech. I have trouble seeing how an enumerated right is trumped by an interpreted right.

So, as I asked above, what would your recourse be if I decided it would be a fun idea to cover your local neighbourhood with posters accusing you of raping small children?
