I would surmise that a sick person would list his or her symptoms and a doctor would then diagnosis via the internet. Might actually be good for minor illness such as the common cold or flu.

Not even sure about that one since the symptoms might hide something bigger.

Is it me or is our language more and more akin to a kind of Newspeak?

The english language in america is in a bad state. I like big words and high vocabulary which I got from Daffy Duck and Word Power. ;D I usually throw out a few nuggets during the day and people are clueless.

Well this week when we were trying to repair a toppled pillar I used the word Rube in commenting on some of the proposed solutions. I was pleasantly surprised to find that one person in the crew knew exactly what I was getting at. In fact he went onto to describe more details about Mr. Goldberg then I knew. Good stuff.

Would a better term be Foxspeak?

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.

Not a bad play on words but one sided in the Age of Obama were both sides speak much but mean very little.

I just found something that links Dune and Battletech: In DUNE, Paul's home planet of Caladan was at Delta Pavonis (Gliese 780). Ecaz was Alpha Centauri B (Gliese 559), Richese was Epsilon Eridani (Gliese 144), Giedi Prime was 36 Ophiuchi (Gliese 663), and Dune itself is Canopus.

Funny, no?

What is funny is that Dune is linked to BattleTech forever to me cause there was a Muad'dib in my first campaign.  ;D

I have a scoop  ;D

Cold War is not over.
NATO planners just upgraded their war plans to protect Poland and the Baltic States from an unnamed opponent (but one that appears as the Red Team  :P)

Just look at NATOs chief opponent. The Kalingrad Oblast is an interesting aside to this.
