As an international student, what would the consequences of just not paying that bill be?

The problem isn't the insurance negotiating a discount - it is that if your insurance has agreed to pay 80% of the cost of your care, and then is able to negotiate a discount, you should pay 20% of the discounted price, not 20% of the pre d

Ahh, was looking for some new css property - it looks like it just sets position:relative on the content it wants to highlight, and then uses z-index.

How do you achieve the effect of the rounded corner box w/ box-shadow masking the overlay, but allowing content to show through?

You are wrong about battery replacements - they are $8,000 to $12,000 dollars depending on capacity, and batteries are covered by an 8 year warranty.

The idea of theft of 'digital goods' is absurd. Goods are defined as "commodities that are tangible, usually movable, and generally not consumed at the same time as they are produced". Theft is defined as "the act of stealing; specifically

I don't think it is fair to say it undercuts the price - the cheapest surface matches the cheapest ipad 3 at ~$500, while apple still offers the ipad2 for $400. The surface does offer more storage at the $500 level, but the ipad has a highe

I think that is much less likely now that microsoft has bought a stake in nook. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000087239639044349330457803...

The reason that google punishes paid links and link networks is that incoming links are a huge component of pagerank - if these weren't punished, it would lower the quality of their search results.

This printer uses photolithography vs FDM used by reprap and makerbot - it works by using a laser to solidify photopolymer. These printers are capable of very high resoltion, but the downside is that their substrate can cost hundreds of do

I have always found getting out of bed early to an alarm painful, and would often snooze my alarm long enough to skip morning classes in college. Now I work with no fixed schedule, and I don't set an alarm at all. I find that I naturally w

I think you have a good point, but wanted to point out that you already can restrict the number of rewards available when starting a project.

It is interesting to see the different perspective on Apple/Samsung in the korean vs american press.

It is extremely unlikely that GMO animal feeds have any measurable effect on the meat you end up eating.. i have no doubt that your diet is healthy, but it seems like you are irrationally excluding more sustainable foods in favor of less su

There is still a limit on lens size that is very hard to work around.. i think that by scanning, a camera like this could function as a pinhole lens, but the effective lens size would only be the size of the single pixel.

In addition to an apology, I think FunnyJunk could turn this pr loss into a win by: making some face saving joke about the bear love thing, matching donations to charity, and explaining why they think user generated content on the web is i

I did read to the end. What you end up suggesting includes: - rendering the view's elements as html in the parent view - creating all of the views and binding callbacks for all of the views to 'render' on the parent view - triggering all o

Why not just append all of the views in TableView render, and then have TableRowView set its own ID in its initialize or render method? I think that would be more concise and straightforward.

I don't think drugs are incompatible with being a responsible and productive person either. I think that they are negatively correlated with being a responsible and productive person. I think a search will turn up a lot of evidence to sup

I am not saying that there should be hard rules. Just that there is a stigma there, and that it is there for a reason. Would you invest in a company with technical founders who got high every day?

Totally, and I am definitely addicted to caffeine. Luckily this only improves my work :) The difference is that I think very few people would say "Let's remove the stigma from alchoholism."

It IS addictive. It can't cause withdrawal symptoms, but absolutely is addictive, like gambling or sex or any other activity that triggers your reward system. I know I felt addicted to pot, failed to quit smoking many times after making t

As someone w/ drug use in my past, I believe very strongly that the stigma around it is deserved. I would think very hard about hiring or investing in someone who used marijuana, or who decided to sell marijuana (a bet with a big risk for v

Does anyone here have a good understanding of what the higgs boson is supposed to be? If I understand correctly it is supposed to be the carrier of masss. At the same time its proposed mass is larger then the mass of a proton or electron.
