You've obviously never joined the military. Don't get all your information from advertising.

That's because you don't realize you ALREADY pay for everyone else. The problem with the existing system of "we have to cover you if you go to the ER, sorry you could afford coverage yourself for preventative visits" is that ER's cost more and the hospitals bill us indirectly for those visits.

Even if all you're talking about is writing off the debt, they get to write that out of what they pay back to the government. So in the very least of terms, you're talking about paying for others health care through tax dollars at whatever cost the hospital decides. At worst, you help pay for the loss of profit by paying higher medical costs, at whatever cost the hospital decides.

The question here isn't whether you want to help pay for health care, it's how much. Would you rather pay $10/mo more or $1000/visit more? Sounds good if you don't visit the doc often, but that one time you do, it'll crush your bank account.

Some time I think the people in this country are so blinded by our brilliance that we fail to see that all the "lesser" countries around us are beating us.

Good thing we learned from those mistakes, huh! Am I right?! We could never have something like McCarthy-ism again, we're so much more evolved.

Exactly how do you fight an idea with a gun? Imaginary bullets?

So which part of replacing a digitizer is detrimental to public safety? I agree that people shouldn't be mislead to believe that a part is OEM unless it actually is, but I don't think that falls under "detrimental to public safety." Also, does every company get to go on HS raids or is there a buy in that Apple paid for the privilege?

I honestly hope I run into someone like you. Not all of us are afraid of punching back.

No he didn't misspeak, he was taken out of context.

I don't remember him saying, "You didn't build that (company)!" Oh! YOU added that in there! Gotcha. Well gee I guess if we can just add in the stuff we want to believe people said then it's fine. "(the government)....makes a nation great." - Impy the Impiuos Imp Wow you are such a socialist!

This. It gets me that they would throw out good PC's for a virus, much less not just nuke the drive and restore from an image.

The game itself doesn't sound like something I"d normally play, but the cracked copy I'll definitely be checking out!

Perhaps people would pay more attention to his ideas if he made them prominent instead of burying them under that expanse of verbiage. As far as why Quirky sucks, it's probably more to do with the fact that the "inventions" on there are mostly BS.

This.

I read the description and the article and found no evidence that Tesla plans to incorporate a battery of the kind described. The suppositions are based off of other suppositions. The fact that a company patented something doesn't mean they're going to use it and basing company tactics off of something that minute is simply fishing for a story that's not there.

The fact that people have strong opinions about a misinformed fluff-piece is sad.

The notice wasn't directed at you so much as at the conversation, you just happened to be the bottom on the line. My apologies for the confusion.

A bit off topic, but I find it interesting that you seem to think the commenter named "girlintrainging" is automatically a guy, when I see very little evidence of it.
