a new "Method for Madness" in the writing (or more precisely, not writing)?

is an Orion type spaceship. Not the lame Orion capsule that has been in design for the last years; what would really answer the problems of solar system exploration would be a fleet of honest to god atomic explosion powered spaceships. It would cut down travel time to a fraction of current estimates, cargo weight would become much less of a problem, hell you could even bring back those astronauts from Mars when the mission is done.

I suppose I can say I know a pretty good number of ophthalmologists, and nearly all of them wear glasses. None of them have had LASIK surgery. I guess that says a lot about the risk-benefit ratio of this sort of procedure...

Stupid HD manufacturers, everybody knows you should build an irrigated field or a trading post on flood plains.

That picture looks suspiciously like the poster of this movie.

Every time I read something about Orion, I think "cool, city-sized atomic-bomb-powered spacecraft!"

Then, the big letdown: "aw, it's just another rocket-powered capsule."

Please don't mix cultures. The nazi in Asia were the japanese.

Oh wait, in view of this, the chef's attitude just seems proper now.

Apple is now officialy THE ENEMY here at slashdot. M$ is just another bad guy now.

Who cares about the origin of mitochondria anymore? I'd give an arm to have mommy's midichlorians!

Of course you should take informed decisions. Just remember that not every Ob-Gyn is trying to gouge you. Also, that not every "alternative practitioner" has your best interests in mind. Remember also that if you're unlucky, the "dead baby card" is a real dead infant on your lap.

Ob-gyn's in the United States, but also in other parts of the world, certainly have reason to be extra careful and conservative in their decisions, as they have some of the highest rates of malpractice litigation in the medical profession.

If you consider that the United States is #1 in health expenditure per capita, #46 in infant mortality does suck badly.

He still won't be able to run Crysis 2. On the other hand, she would probably not want to run Crysis 2.

Congrats, anyway!
