Comment Re:Other reason (Score 1) 1019

The place where one of my friends work has this policy in place because the factory workers cannot wear headphones, so the office workers can't wear them either. So the office workers brought in stereos. Granted, the majority of the workers listen to country music, but it can be very irritating to someone like my friend, who finds that to be all the more reason to want to strangle fellow co-workers.

From the last I heard or read, US healthcare is something in the order of 16% GDP, Canada is about 10.7% and everyone else is less (well as far as the EU goes). Yet we have something like 56+ million uninsured, mostly young.

On the young part, one of my friends went to the hospital (emergency room) for kidney stones and came away with a $3600 bill, $2000 of it for useless MRI's... WTF!

I'll vouch for this, 60% of the time...
They usually travel eastward, but I've seen them heading in just about every other direction as well. That's the great thing about Ohio, we get weather from every direction.
BTW, if you can't see the sun's aura through the clouds, it's probably raining.

I'm 23, I have the DS and PSP. The PSP has become my mobile media player and the DS is my mobile gaming device. Once I get a DSi and/or a homebrew card, the only purpose I have for the PSP is finishing Tactics (again, but with new stuff) and Crisis Core, which isn't very engaging and I haven't played it in months...

Actually, it really depends on how good the IT/ET units are. A good unit will follow that DoD reg. for overwriting the drive, then proceed to vent some frustration on the hard drive through creative means, and then they will turn them in to the proper disposal authority. Lazy/greedy units will just sell them on eBay or throw them in a dumpster where may civilian will pick it up and sell it on eBay or use it.
