Because the government got into the health-care "business" via
Medicare-Medicaid, creating a bottomless pit of money from which all
kinds of husksters draw. In 1962, I was working for $1.65/hour, 40
hours per week, plus 100% Blue Cross & Shield. (No co-pay back then). I
had to have an emergency appendectomy, spent one week in the hospital
after having an experimental "vest pocket" surgery. The TOTAL bill,
including the hospital, the doctor and anethesiologist came to $732.50.
50 cents was for an asperin. Today, that same surgery, using the same
materials and technique, and taking the samme amount of time, but
staying only three days in the hospital would cost $10,000. Without the
charges inflated by government intervention, fees, regulations, etc., it
would have cost less than $2,000. Fraud and greed by doctors, and by
insurance company CEOs, compounded by government waste all contribute.
Hospitals are forced, *repeatedly*, to pass on costs for care given to
people who can't or won't become responsible for their own care.
Druggers, gang bangers, hookers, wineos, welfare kings and queens, etc.,
to say nothing of those deserving help: mentally ill, retarded,
physically impared, the young and old. Some doctors double bill, but
most doctors are forced into defensive medicine (unnecessary tests,
procedures,etc., to ward off lawsuits and government welfare nannies).
Insurance companies have abandon the mortality and per-capita tables,
partly because of greed, CEO golden parachuts, etc., but many folks are
making a living scamming Insurance, which raises rates to the rest of
us.
The US gov appoints an insurance company as the Medicare-Medicare
insurance provider, administering tax funded insurance payments. The
insurance company implements the biggest insurance scam of all:
"coordinated" insurance. My mother-in-law lived with us 20 years before
she passed away at 95. She had insurance via her deceased husbands
employment policy. Over the years it went from 100% to 80-20 copay,
which really became about 50-50 when their "usually and customary"
exclusions were applied. THEN, they would deduct the amount
Medicare-Medicaid paid from the amount they were liable for, and pay the
difference. Many times, with deductables, they paied nothing! It never
stopped them from collecting premiums from her husbands former employer.
The bottom line: the current crisis in health care arises from the
basic dishonesty of all parties envolved. Doctors only have an oath to
their income, which is why they average $275+ per hour in a society
where the average wage is $16/hour. Insurance companies build monuments
to their CEOs egos, while paying them more than what the average doctor
charges. The government agencies only reason for existence is to keep
themselves in existance, i.e., give their staffs a well paid job.
There is no solution to these problems unless hearts are changed or some
left or right wing extremist dictates solutions from behind the barrel
of a gun. I don't see the former happening any time soon, considering
who we elect for congress and for president.

They did not use nonproprietary compression. There _is_ support within
QT4 for various nonproprietary routines but the QT4 "format" is very
much clenched within Apple's little fist.

The "append" statement probably could have been at the top, and we
would then only need one of them. I probably could have said "128M"
Eighty megabytes is 0x5000000.
You could probably say
append = "mem=80M"
or
append = "mem=0x4fffff0"
The documentation is contradictory. Is this mem= value the address of
the last byte of addressable memory, or the number of bytes of
addressable memory?
In a machine with 0x20000 bytes of RAM, the highest address is
0x1ffff. They're off by one. I'm playing it safe.

do a 'grep issue *' in /etc/rc.d (or whatever your distribution does)--typically

It's hard to tell without knowing how you configured the kernel, but
most likely you compiled something needed before the disks are mounted

Also be sure you have enabled support for the CD-ROM and for the iso9660
filesystem in your kernel. If not, then you have to recompile it. Do you
try it as root or as a user? If your /etc/fstab (man fstab) is not
configured correctly, then only root can mount the cdrom.

If the 4050 can do that. I'm not sure it can. What I do here on this
Amiga, but haven't managed to hack it into linux code yet, is to run
ghostscript out to page numbered files, see use.txt for how-to on that,
having it give each pages file a page number as part of the filename.
Then to actually print, I have an ARexx script I wrote that checks the
page numbs for even/odd, and prints the file collection in 2 or more
passes, with *you* turning the paper around/over when ready to do the
other side.
Thats why big print jobs, of over 30 pages, get exported to this Amiga.
Its drive hungry though, a 400 page book needs 300 plus megs of scratch
disk when running in hi-rez B&W here, with color turning that into 5+
megs a page.
Cheers, Gene

This is a FAQ. Please use Dejanews and/or look at the HOWTO's in the
future. Assuming your system has support for the vfat filesystem,
$ mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/dos
you'll need to change the above command to suit your setup.

SuSE's license probably prohibits this kind of copying--why don't you
buy your own copy of SuSE or SO and WP and support companies that
support Linux.

PCI modems are supported. Unfortunately what you purchased is
probably not a modem but a winmodem--return it and buy a real,
external modem.

Building a compiler is a real pain, just grab the binary and then
recompile if needed for some reason.

:>I use an HP ScanJet 6200C with an Adaptec 2940 card and it works great.
Has anyone heard about the Acer 620S?
