Wide Format Scanners - your opinions please?
12x17s will be about all you are going to find (unless you move up to a draw-through scanner), and you are going to spend a minimum of $1k on one. Depending on the copyright of what you are scanning, it may be significantly less expensive to have a kinkos type place perform the scans for you.- Decodence

What is your favorite aircraft of all time?
The 777 powered by two 115bs has a MTOW of 775,000 # The Boeing superclipper looks to be 4-5 times more massive, some of which may be offset by more surface areas of wing for more lift, but that adds more drag, not to mention the drag from the ancillary fuselages, and the huge main fuselage... -
The Recession and Layoffs Thread
That is more scary than any recession or layoffs. That is the stuff of global economic collapse. I've been thinking about how personally this recession has affected me, and I still only keep coming back to rampant inflation as the issue. This has manifested itself in my travel plans. Had...- Decodence

That is a very nice policy. Most lifetime max are in the $1M range, which isn't but 3 or 4 serious medical problems worth of coverage.- Decodence

Don't you think the market determines that accordingly? Supply/Demand, and quality of care. The days of becoming a doctor for the $ are over. Sure, they make a decent living, but the opportunity cost is huge. It isn't all that you percieve it to be. There are any number of better paying...- Decodence

Caid,Care, and other subsidised coverages are available. Many states (MD and IN come to mind from recent experience) also have REDICULOUSLY low cost programs which are for the people who fall just outside of the medicaid thresholds, but requires a small premium to keep them accountable.- Decodence

The Recession and Layoffs Thread
People should really just become educated to the fact that even the top-tier of employer health plans usually is bottom of the barrel coverage. One should explore the additional riders out there, and consider the C:B ratio of them. Not trying to enrage here, merely lobby for being an educated...- Decodence

If you spent 10 years in school at $40k+/yr tuition, got by on stipends, and whatever you could scratch out while doing residency, then have to repay all those exhorbitant student loans and carry COSTLY malpractice insurance due to sue happy patients and idiotic jury awards, wouldn't you want to...- Decodence

The Recession and Layoffs Thread
Most doctors know enough to not try to get blood from a turnip. They'll work with the patient to get what they think they can. Also, they may BILL full price to the ins., but they'll be lucky to see $0.50-0.60 on the dollar for services depending on procedure and Dx. All depends on a...- Decodence

No, I am not. Most medical/dental policies are EXTREMELY limited in what they cover. This shouldn't be a shock to anyone. Does anybody other than me actually read their member benefit statements? Even top-tier employer offering fall VERY short. Ancillary coverage is available for a marginal...- Decodence

The Recession and Layoffs Thread
Insurance is pooled risk. You buy it, hoping you will never need it. You took the risk you wouldn't get some non-covered condition, and lost. I assume you read, and understood your benefits before hand. Hey, premium care and coverage isn't cheap. Riders exist for a reason, to supplement...- Decodence
