Sure they would. They tolerate that to get a shitty degree. They tolerate that to have open heart surgery.
You also assume a cure is a vaccine. It might be 24 months of magic drug treatment before it's all better.
And also remember there are lots of pharma companies that don't have any cancer treatment products (or even say pain killers used by cancer patients), I'm sure they'd love to cure cancer even if they *only* get 1/10th of that $100B/year...
But remember that the treatment of cancer is nearly a $100B/year industry. The industry is not going to undermine this business by finding a cure.
Of course they are. The company that does gets that $100B/year all to themselves for 20 years, instead of getting 5% of it and hoping someone else doesn't come up with a cure.
And if you have an unproductive day at work your employer doesn't pay you for it, right?
There are plenty of jobs which are paid based on time not based upon results. With those who don't get results not getting employed...
If I decided to play video all day instead of doing my work for the next week, I'd still get paid for my normal salary. I'd also be sacked as soon as someone noticed but that's very different from not being paid for the past.
If your wonderful idea ever comes to fruition expect your visits to the doctor to go like this:
1. You don't look very sick, no I won't see you.
2. You look really sick, there's a 50% you are going to drop dead in the next month no matter what and a 50% chance that one of these treatment options will completely fix you (though the wrong one will kill you, and no treatment will see you dead in a month). It's really not worth the risk to me to spend the time checking so no I won't see you.
3. Oh look a textbook bacterial infection. Come on in, the doctor will see you now.
And no one did rationalize or claim it wasn't (right here, I'm sure people have elsewhere). Can't you wait for your predicted wave of posts before going off on your rant?
it's an American web site there's no need to state when something is also American. Just like they write $100 without mentioning if those are USD or AUD or ZWL or ZWR or ZWD, because if they are aren't USD they'll specify what they are.
And the person who assigns the icon probably couldn't see anything else that fit.
Obviously if you are "damaged" by a rental car you sue the rental car company they will then hand over the guy who rented the car on a silver platter to you. If you don't directly sue the ISP when you are "damaged" by an IP address then the anoalogy is completey invalid as the Judge stated.
Now I don't know the lagalities and whether you do or do not sue the ISP in that case, but you weren't arguing based on legalities you were arguing based on logic (well at least claiming to).
And no I didn't read any further, given how stupid the lead argument was.
The rest of the world doesn't dish out credit to anyone who walks in and gives them a name and address, surely? Isn't that just an American tradition?
Why not click the link to http://blog.us.playstation.com/ from the article and make the obvious change to the url (say to http://blog.eu.playstation.com/) to see if other regions are offering something similar if you are so curious? Why would expect an article written to an American audience would do that for you?
Not like that at all. Since it's a service that attempts to deal with the results of your data being stolen, not a service that attempts to stop your data being stolen in the first place. So it's more like a damp hand towel than an umbrella in that analogy.
If there are such losses then one tiny farm makes even less of a difference. £300,000 is likely well worth letting citydwellers make 12 mutiplte choice decisions (that you provide the choices for) in a year for your tiny farm.
Said farm is already converting to organic, so it's output is already plunging and being made up by selling at higher prices to richer people. Which will swamp any sub-optimal choice made by citydwellers voting on the internet.
It's not an exercise that is expected to make farmers out of "citydewllers" or supply their food. It's not about them "living on it". It's to give some people a better idea of some of what is involved in running a farm.
It's a 1200 acre farm, or half a percent of the farmland the National Trust has. it could be turned into a *very* large carpark without affecting whether people get to eat...
You don't maximise shareholder value by announcing to the world that anyone with a patent should go after your company, since you'll just pay them off. It's like handing out free money.
Paying them off is fine. Announcing to the world that you do so, that's not so smart.
Obviously, but that is completely different than "the military was willing to wait more than two years to conduct the attack but then had to rush things by a couple of weeks because of this leak".
Clearly if he might find out that you have a good lead you are going to have to move up the schedule and not wait to take him down a few months before the election (or more realistically wait for a him to invite some other high value target over for a meeting before going in and getting both of them).
Given they tracked him via a courier who has a job of passing stuff back and forth, clearly bin Laden is calling some shots. He's been on the run from the world's largest military with a $25 million bounty on his head. You really think he's going to meet with someone he hasn't known for decades in person?
I'm pretty sure most Coca Cola workers have never met Warren Buffet, doesn't mean he has no influence over what they do.
Even if Osama bin Laden isn't really involved in operational stuff he's still a figure head aiding in recruitement. This was good timing in that recent events in the middle east have shown it's possible to stand up to authoratarian rulers without resorting to islamic jihad...
And of course it's embaressing to have a guy evade your military for so long.

close scrutiny is not "knowing". The risk of the hypothesis is irrelevant to whether you "know" or not.
Maybe the CIA and the American special forces were playing playstations instead of trying to find him? There's a potential mechanism...
Which doesn't mean you "know" it was caused by the fracking operations.
It's some evidence for it but it doesn't prove it.
Sony's PSN went down, and shortly after Osama bin Laden was captured. So do we know that online playstation gaming being unavailable caused his death?
No you don't. since you don't know that was caused by the fracking.
If it started or increased in frequency or severity after the fracking started then you have a correlation. But you don't "know fracking is bad".
The study the article is about, however, that's much better evidence that "fracking is bad".
Sure they would. They tolerate that to get a shitty degree. They tolerate that to have open heart surgery.

Your leave everything accessible to the cleaners? No passwords on the computers?
Do you also leave the bank account information and online banking passwords written on a whiteboard for them to view?
Of course they are. The company that does gets that $100B/year all to themselves for 20 years, instead of getting 5% of it and hoping someone else doesn't come up with a cure.

Or more likely the military cares about the peoplle who might attack the USA tomorrow as well.

Sorry one quarter of one percent...

A month ago Sony could also say no intrusions had occured user data was safe.

They stopped it in 2002, it was basically throwing relatively small amounts of money at some ideas and seeing if anything stuck...
Yes because one small farm failing causes everybody to starve.
Some people can make jokes on other days as well. I know shocking rebels.
They played fewer video games, and read fewer web pages. Why is it such a big deal to you that people like to do more than one thing at a time.
Some people even listen to their mp3 players while on the exercise machines at that gym I bet. The even more extreme watch TV while on the treadmill!
