That's all well and good, if you're within the top 10% earners.
Otherwise you're fucked. And you can hardly talk about people being
sheep when you look at how many Americans are religious.

Yeah, one thing that puts me off PDF is that the viewers are such low
quality. They always render things really badly, and it's next to
impossible to copy/paste text etc.

And that's the best you can do against the NHS - "a complete disaster"?
BTW - Most Brits agree the NHS needs urgent attention, but look with horror
at the American system. 40 million uninsured? People routinely bankrupted
by a serious illness. As if the illness wasn't bad enough.
BTW2 - Your mates at the WHO rate the French health system as the most
effective in the world, with the UK trailing at 17th place.
They rate the US at 38th.

"sgicc" and "sgif90" are the SGI Pro64 (IA-64) C & Fortran-90 (resp.)

command-line options. In fact, it uses "gfec" & "gfecc" (and "mfef90")
