Yet there is a waiting list...

I would say naive folk fucked by the system.

In Europe it is kind of similar, but not as bad. My relative has non-lethal cancer. It was diagnosed by private doctor and waiting list for operation is a few months. So he called ambulance and went to public hospital with 'unknown pain'. The very same doctor (who also work in public hospital) diagnosed cancer second time and bumbed him on top of the list, since it is an 'emergency'.

Just in case someone ask about morals: it is very commom here. This guy has bellow average salary, worked 40 years and got medal for rescuing 5 soldiers in combat.

It is interesting to compare energy released by meteors to bombs. This meteor was about 1 meter in diameter, and made 40m crater. The biggest artificial explosion made crater 500 meter wide crater. Mosquito bite compared to bit larger asteroid.

... and thats why americans have troubles to open bank account abroad.

How about quad copter cat?

Womens are already 51% of population because they live longer.

Mission completed! Now we can stop that positive discrimination nonsense.

Fascism is not Nazism. One of the definitions is that government has total control. That is certainly case with SS.

Did not Cameron just apologize for several deaths?

I have no issue with NHS on its own. It is pretty much average European health care system. But I hate smuginess surrounding it and connection to fascist state.

I refused to join, I was on temp contract so no value for me. This was semi private scientific institution. Money were usually used to send HR/union people to bullshit trainings on nice location.

BTW there were 2 managers for every science bee.

What is extremely false? This was said at British parliament. To quote Cameron: "people had to dring from flower vase, not to die of thirst". There are thousands of deaths because of basic neglect.

As for my personal experience. I only wanted rentgen to see if my hand is broken. I could not just 'walk in' and buy a service, I would had to go through GP referral than booking specialist appointment and finally week latter have xray.

The Emergency Room is used by everyone who needs prescription for flu, so I had to wait 6 hours in bloody line full of coughing people. I should have probably just walk in front of the hospital and call myself ambulance from parking lot.

The healtcare is not free, as visitor from other EU country, my insurance company has to pay. Also local cresidents pay higher taxes. Sure there is no lawyer overhead, but that will only impress someone from US.

As for waiting for non-essential operations, you probably meant non-life threating. Some procedures solve crippling pain, but are rated non-essential.

And on top of that you can not choose hospital where you will go. Some hospitals are better, some are really bad. Obviously the elite lives in areas with better hospitals.

The story about baby was in national Slovak news, and forced embassy to step in. I am too lazy to look for english translation, but there are other similar cases. The time line in this case is this:

1) Slovak couple comes with six months baby in hospital, it cries and has something with hand. They claim it had vaccination one day before at the same hand.

2) Doctor makes xray, finds hand is broken and fixate it.

3) Hospital calls SS and police. Couple is escorted by police to court straight from hospital with baby.

4) They get advocate assigned from court and the hearing starts at the same evening (5 hours after they come into hospital)

5) Their defendant is arrogant, tell them to shut up and does not explain anything. Plus he does not speak slovak and their english is not adequate for this stuff

6) Court postpones decision into other hearing. They are free to leave. At outside police is waiting to seize baby, officers do not believe court did not made decision.

7) At 11 PM they finally arrive home from hospital with baby.

8) At 4 AM they decide to leave country, at 6 AM they are on airplane to continental europe.

9) At 7:30 AM police came at their london door with order to seize baby

10) 2 days latter they contact slovak police, disclose their location and ask for help. They also contact media.

I am really not going into more of those shit. I know several people who fled UK because of fear for their baby. Embassy even recommends to avoid giving birth in UK, since you could say something stupid, which would be held against you.

This was 'majority white' slovak couple. Slovak gypsies have situation much much worse in London. I am sometimes called racist, but what SS is doing to gypsies, is miles behind the line.

This was Ireland, not US.

UK health care is disgrace. Patients dying by starvation in hospitals corridors. Waiting period for some operations is months. Even simple xray took 6 hours of waiting at emergency. My polish friends in case of problems head to airport, not British hospital (insurance would cover it).

Also SS wolfs are on hunt and it is serious risk to bring children to UK doctor. GP broke hand to Slovak baby during vaccination, parents took it to hospital, where doctors called social services. Couple had to run from country to keep baby.

Also France with exceent health system is just few kilometers away.

I refused to join union many times. They would charge me $80 each month and provide nothing back. As contractor untermench I would only sponsor permanent employees.

Shipping has simple workaround. Just use different string ("stephan" versus "stefan"). Or in non-english country use local version of name.

My government allows me to have multiple passports, because of various problems with visa. I think I should also ask for multiple identities because of all this spying and anti-terrorists.

BTW it costs a few hundred bugs to change name

You could also say that new commercial applications are cheap knockoffs of older versions. Win8 is joke compared to Win7, Office 2003 is better than 20something. New Photoshop brings zero improvement except some crazy DRM.

Open-source programs are at least stable. It is less likely some commercial company will flush my investment into toilet.

And Photoshop is probably better than Gimp, but in other areas the winner is not that clear. For example OpenOffice versus MS Office. Or my favorite example KWin versus.... nothing.

I would say that is not a joke but rational reaction to police state. Why 12 police man has to come to bike accident?

So what? Asians and whites are discriminated by government agencies, universities and large corporations. Last time HR manager screamed at me because I insisted my race is 'slavic' not 'white'.

Maybe am I too big nerd, but who would send laptop for repairs without wiping out harddrive first?

Add encryption key to URL after hash tag. This is not send to webserver, but can be decripted by js. You can not read text without full URL

I have a few ideas:

- should work offline

- realtime updates visible to other parties, so it would be usable as chat

- history

- align editor size to browser window size, so there are no two vertical scrolbars

- even better is to grow editor window as documents grow, use only browser vertical scrolab

- https, useless for me otherwise

I think root problem is that shuttle was starting and landing with people. They should use it just for cargo, second rocket with Apollo should have transport people from/to orbit.

But she is a woman! We need more woman who do software development, coding is irrelevant skill.

Theoretically no, practically yes.

> While whites and Asians are making more money, blacks and Latinos are falling further behind.

In London it is kind of oposite. You can only live in central london if you are filthy rich, or non-white and get social housing.

One of the links says that EU use Monsanto product instead, because it degrades much faster, but it is much less tested than azantine.

I hate to be that guy. But this reminds me hysteria around DDT, now it is estimated that DDT ban is responsible for 20M deaths due to malaria.

But how strong is link between that chemical and negative effects? This guy works on this for 15 years, other confirm his result. But there is no lawsuit or anything which requires strong evidence.

Also the lethal dosage is 3 grams/kg for rats, that is far from poisoning. In EU it was banned not because of toxicity, but because it degrades slowly in ground waters.

And Prague has airport since 18th century...

I love statistics :-)

Does not america discriminate asians and other races at university admissions?
