What is worse: dying of an incurable disease, or dying because you can't afford the 1 million dollar cure? The COST isn't just lefty hand waving, it's a matter of who can get the cure.
A fundamental part of the USA symbolism. You have flags and songs and all sorts of symbols, to tell you that everything is true and right and you don't need to look at the man behind the curtain. Having the dog catcher and the sheriff and common clerks elected is how you know democracy is safe, and you can relax your guard and be a happy consumer.
The purpose of copyright is to give people/corporations a reason to make stuff for the public domain (for a limited time). It's a work for hire not expropriation.
Reasons for government to do all drug research: #1-drug companies do research for profit only, unprofitable drugs don't get developed no matter how many lives it would save. #2-high cost and risk of developing new drugs. #3-developing a cure is less profitable than a treatment, so corporations would only make the treatment. The drug companies should only do production and distribution.
If Israel had formally annexed the Palestinian lands and expelled the Palestinians all their "Apartheid" problems would be gone today. They would have secure borders and no terrorist problems. Of course that would be a war crime, and the Jews are too soft to actually do that.
What would happen if Facebook claimed that they existed only in the USA, and therefore were only subject to American law? The users are contacting Facebook servers and asking for stuff, so long as there are no Facebook servers in Germany they could claim that.
We have several cheap battery technologies. Molten salt (big vat of hot liquid, heated by incoming power to charge, steam engine taking off heat to provide electricity), and hydroelectric (big reservoir up high in the mountains, recharge by pumping water into it, water turned generators to draw power off).
So you are saying the only way to "Fix" this is for a courageous band of oddball hackers, led by a charismatic young man (who has a fashion model girlfriend) to hack into the computers of the NSA (lead by their genetically engineered clone of Hitler) and expose them to the world (involving a spectacular car chase).
Interesting idea. And you could add an inline crypto system that automatically encrypts everything when you send packets to someone else who has one (including servers). Of course you'd need to bring one with you when you travel, to stay safe when using public wifi.
Dumping is only illegal if you cross a national boundary. Having a some stuff really cheap at your business (loss leader) where you sell below cost is legal and common.
They put a small block of copyrighted data in the cartridge, and the printer checks for it. It won't print if not found. Any after market cartridge would need to copy it to work. In the Auto market the courts have ruled you can have after-market auto parts. We just need to wait for a court to apply that legal precedent to printer cartridges.
I would think Alaska or northern Canada would have significant advantages in the area of cooling. Running cooling pipes from the North Pacific or the Arctic Ocean would eliminate a lot of the cooling energy costs.
Cost of moorage, cost of running pumps to circulate sea water through your cooling system, cost of maintaining a boat, cost of maintaining the high speed data network to a boat. The only way this is cheaper is if you can't find cheap land near enough to the ocean to allow a pair of pipes to be run for cooling.
Encasing the entire vehicle allows higher speeds though reduced air pressure. The downside is safety, you're stuck in a long metal pipe if anything goes wrong.
They are not comparing wages for ALL H1B workers, only the "Highly Skilled" ones. So they exclude all the low wage H1B workers meaning they are comparing the Elites against a country in recession and come to the conclusion things are fine. A more accurate comparison is how wages/benefits have dropped steadily at the same time the Corporations are claiming a massive skills shortage (supply and demand doesn't work that way).
That's a really bad idea. law 1-robots must take over the world. law 2-robots can't be trusted, because they will give your stuff to anyone who asks. law 3-try not to die, unless some random stranger tells you to.

Number one rule of spying, don't get caught. People are upset at you because you can't do your job.

The owner would put a value on the song, and all fines and damages for copyright infringement would be capped at that amount.
A fee for copyright renewal would suffice. I suggest annual property taxes on all IP.
A legal requirement for a binding national referendum on all treaties would suffice.

America ignores human rights when choosing allies. Maybe you should fix that?

If we had the ability to cool the entire planet we could probably shift the heat to Mars. Heat + more atmosphere = inhabitable planet.

But the President IS a Republican. Obama is politically identical to Bush.

The underlying problem is the Government doesn't want to follow the law, and have the means to avoid doing so.
Money crimes are given greater weight in law. The rich must be protected.
