Theft? How exactly is it theft?

Insurance companies are betting that you'll be healthy, so as a business they dislike when pre-existing conditions get thrown in because it changes the situation without them being aware of it.

The problem is that medical insurance has become an essential, and I don't mean by law, so to treat it like any other business is foolish.

The point isn't about consistency - If you want to play a computer game like DOOM, that's still a valid option. (Heck, Half Life came out in 1998 and it's STILL a sizable game community because of the mods.) Even when they shut down the WON servers, you could still find ways to play (not including Steam) by patching the game, and some people set up alternative authentication servers.

A lot harder to do for the XBox...

How much bandwidth would that sort of thing require? I thought internet access was a major reason why they would include as much information on the laptop as possible...

I'd say Hydrogen but it seems like Sony laptops are randomly testing that as we speak...

This changed when exactly?

Theoretically you could survive on any given part of the planet without the intervention/help of scientists.

The same is not true of the moon.

"What really needs to be done is elect police officers on a neighborhood (in larger cities) or town (in smaller cities) basis to make them accountable to the public."

The problem with this is that being a police officer requires time and specialized training. Perhaps a better oversight group might be more practical? (And THOSE members could perhaps be elected.)

Yes, because Obama is the person that proposes and passes laws. Right?

I think the captain should be applauded for trying to save tax payer money! Why wait for it to anchor up and stuff when you're just wasting time!

Blurred? Back in the day we had our memories OBLITERATED!

At least you KNOW you had a memory of something! I can't even remember what I can't remember!

Wait... what was this about, again?

Governments are at least partly in the business of nonsense. They have a monopoly on it, in fact.

Governments would go bankrupt if they had a No-Nonsense policy. I think you meant a Zero-Tolerance policy... =D
