I won't even get started on the huge physician shortage that is still a problem in Canada, yet the Canadian government refuses to open up more medical school seats. AND refuses to significantly increase the number of Canadian residency positions available (the number of family physician residencies has increased in the last 3 or 4 years, but still pretty low). I guarantee you it's still not fixed.

That could happen in Canada as well (minus the $100k bill part). Any hospital with a shortage of beds and/or ER physicians and it's a possibility, since the nurse on call is more than likely not going to want to page the non-ER attending on call if it's a late hour. Shortage of beds was a huge problem in three of the hospitals my dad worked at. And one of them was a major academic hospital in Edmonton.

Eh...every hospital I've been at has a clause that they have to treat patients regardless of their financial situation. aerius I've never heard of anything like that happening unless it's some backwards hospital where their entire system of care is basically broken. You really won't find that in 95% of the hospitals, I'm pretty sure about that. The Sick Kid's Hospital is a world renowned peds hospital (and I've had friends that rotated there and said it was exceptional) but in the US you have hospitals like Mass General, Brigghams, Cleveland Clinic, Mayo (Rochester), Hopkins, UCSF, Baylor (hooray), Presbyterian, etc.

Unless the Canadian health care system has changed radically in the last 10 years it's nothing to write home about. My dad practiced in two Canadian provinces.

Damn that Icarium and his lengthy posts

My comp'd medical insurance is so good it probably covers the guy next to me at any given time

I always read that as silver plated copper, but I may be way off?

The stock K1000 cable is weird rubber, bendy, stays in place covering that would be the main reason I'd recable it. Otherwise I think the stock cable sounds fine.

Mmm...tent pitchin' going on with all these possibilities. Now if only there were 40 hours in a day.

I should have got off my ass and seen them in May

There are no perks that came with golden god

1. "Nil Recurring" 6.08 2. "Normal" 7.09 3. "Cheating the Polygraph" 7.10 4. "What Happens Now?" 8.23 So far I'm really loving the extra tracks on this album. I just preordered the EP from burningshed, but the tracks will be on the DVD-A release of Fear of a Blank Planet. Fear of a Blank Planet is also available on vinyl for preorder, which I ordered as well

Both of us are now using WPA1. Thanks gents.

T8. I need to PM Roam. Are the Emission Labs 45s any good?

No it doesn't. But I'd rather not do anything to my cable (I really hope you're going to suggest P-P and not balanced )

Cool. I will be sending him an email for things I'm looking for in the amp. On the subject of the Cary (I assume you mean 300SEI) from what aerius and a few other DIYAudio guys say it really shouldn't that hard to make an amp that sounds better than a 6SN7-driver/300B amp. Or at the very least measures a hell of a lot better.

lol Ryan thanks man. Yeah if I got a B52 I would be inclined to give the other half to my homeslices postjack or jb. jb the mad scientist could probably do something to make it sound acceptable.

Badass, I will track down this stuff. Reks your hard bop album sounds real tasty.

Alright my laptop is able to do WPA and WPA-PSK. It's using Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG built in.

I'll ask him. How secure is WPA? I've read a lot about it when it was introduced, then sort of lost interest.

I will add the MAC filtering, completely forgot about that. As for the unlocked leeching thing, I wouldn't necessarily say they would since they might not be able to pick up those networks- I'm barely able to connect to either of them. He is using a USB wifi dongle, I'll have to look closer to see if it can do WPA. But the thing is a piece of crap :'(

Did sleestack sell his Qualias as well?

We just installed our cable internets at our apartment today and I picked up a wireless router. Now my roomate's laptop isn't able to do WPA Soooo, we're using WEP 128 bit right now. Now we're in a pretty nice building and when I use my wireless browser program to look for SSIDs I see about 15-20. Most are locked, one or two aren't. Which obviously means there are tons of wifi users in this building. How paranoid should I be about people cracking our WEP? For what it's worth I only get on the internet about an hour at night, and he probably does the same. Neither of us leave our laptops running all the time; I might overnight or during the day if I'm downloading something but my desktop computer is connected by a wire, so it's pretty rare. I plan on changing the WEP key every 5 days or something. Any other security measures we should take? Thanks

Back in my day we sterilized surgical tools with only hot water, get off my lawn sonny There's still hope left to turn you away from surgery goon to team med-geek

Oh damn the Head-Case "dew eat" has been thrown down, followed by an ex tew from our future transplant surgeon and you've backed down!! <insert ban him macro>
