I too have thought about this, I think a best system would be to have a summary of both topics. Then a voter should be required to complete a quiz that explains the sides of both arguments to make sure that they completely understand prior to voting. Most people are generally apathetic and just go with whatever they hear from other people with a similar background, our media is no longer objective. These people are capable of so much more, but they are victims of a culture that their ancestors created. People in others countries are much happier with much less, America is a country that honors above all else that which makes us unhappy, our ego.

True, but most people don't think like this. Take civil service for example where there is virtually no oversight or accountability for the way time/money is spent, and for the most part the internet filters are off. If they were to poll the time spent surfing the web for personal use, the numbers would be sickening. A person who spends most of their time bullshiting is liked a whole lot more than the ones who spend all of their time getting the work done.

You missed the point entirely. Basically what is being said is "rich man who can afford exotic procedure from well trained professionals will cause poor people with life threatening conditions to seek the same type of treatment but will only receive scams from doctors who have no idea how to do stem cell procedures."

According to TFA, the surgery was a complete success and is doing what it was supposed to do.

Comment I work with this software every day... (Score 1) 86

CHCS and AHLTA are on the slower side. CHCS has an interface similiar to DOS. A big problem with both of them is that they require you to do the same thing over and over for simple tasks. They started rolling out essentris when I worked at labor and delivery, gotta say it was one of the fastest and most user friendly apps but best of all it pools information from one sheet to another which saves time. Also more secure for the fact that it requires you to log in each time you edit a note or add information, which makes it a lot easier to just share the same computer for several patients instead of having to log in and out for each user which can take a while with CHCS and AHLTA.

Comment Not a risky job at all until something bad happens (Score 1) 349

Anyone who works around oil rigs or oil refineries are subject to much higher risks than those who work at these nuclear plants. The only thing that can ruin a nuclear plant today is an earthquake. Once the leak is out the job is very risky but until that time there is 0 risk. Where as the guys who work at the refineries and rigs always wear gas detectors to monitor deadly gases such as H2S that can wipe out a lot of people, not to mention the constant risks of explosions due to outdated equipment. Heroes? Maybe when nuclear tech was underdeveloped, but today hardly.

Well, I wouldn't compare angry birds to Crysis 2, if he doesn't see this as being the reason for the value difference he is an idiot. I could hire a coder online to make the game angry birds out of my own pocket on some hire a coder website. However the big boys who are selling their games for over 99 cents have a production team and are very good at what they do.

Lets also not forget to take in to account the fact that Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have had years of experience creating developer kits, and many of the seasoned game developers are already familiar with how their developer kits run. Google and Apple have not had the same experience handing out developer kits. At least not ones that have turned their products in to a success. I believe that the software quality is way behind what the hardware can do on todays phones.

There is something that a smart phone will never be able to do anytime soon, and that is do multi-player the correct way, people like to interact with each other and while some phone games offer multi-player it will be ages before they get it right with the software, hardware, and network.
