If your co-author inserted the fradulent reference, I agree that you may not have committed fraud. But your co-author did, and you didn't check their work. and knowing that you didn't check their work, you signed off on it. You

Apache and I think Nginx have a huge list of features and stuff. Most alternate http servers limit the scope a lot, so you'd need to specify what features you're interested in. But I haven't seen a whole lot of discussion of

There's two flavors of Windows for Education. One is more or less Windows Professional, the other is more or less Windows Enterprise. Both disable some stuff by default, I think the Microsoft Store and Clippy/Cortana/Copilot,

I think there was a PowerToy for virtual desktops for Windows 95? And alternate shells like litestep could do it too. Maybe that was Win98?

Not exactly. ACA imposes minimum Medical Loss Ratios. If they deny everything, the MLR would be zero and they would have to refund premiums. The more care that's allowed, the more dollars they can keep. It's a complex optimizatio

> The requesting provider can do it for free, or the patient can pay cash. That might not be actually an option. Well the provider can do it for free, probably; but they may not be able to accept money for care that was denied coverage.

Someone would have had to have signed up to administer the domain during the time that signups were available. In 1992, I think interest would have been pretty low in general. And once the internet became widely known, something.city.state.
