And of course, there is the question of necessity. It's plausible to assume the war would have stopped without nuclear attacks. It's extremely plausible the war would have stopped after the first nuclear attack on Hiroshima, so surely the second atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki was gratuitous at best.
And of course its plausible the war could have continued for another few years...
Yes, but it was in the best interest of the people that Pfizer got away with this.
In the interest of the employees, the interest of the recipients of their medical products, and - yes - the interests of their shareholders and the interests of the US Government.
On could argue that the US Government is working for its people...
A law banning this would probably pass in Australia (don't start on the filter!). We ban sales of spray paint to minors (in case they graffiti), guns to non-farmers (in case they kill someone) etc.
Just get your guys to sell a kit to an Aussie scriptkiddie, track em down (filter anyone?) then organise extradition to Down Under.
Um, this is the google android you'r talking about right? that company that produces a thingy - um - search engine?

I like to save it since those Unicorns are a bastard to wash out, and that teapot has been missing since Aunt Gaia came round for a cuppa.
Bitch!
Last time I saved my book at ePub, i wound up with my eGoogles on and woke up married to my Wifi.
She forced me to get a job and the publishan stole my iDea and printed it...
No I'll back you up on that.
Thats why I buy everything through Steam, and hell, have given Steam games to other people for presents..
Also HL/HL2 is a terrible example since its one of the longest-lasting FPSs ever seen (referring to CS obviously)...
ahhhh CS:S
Yep, and Activision Blizzard are the second largest gaming company in the world, riding WoW roughshod into the ground.

Didnt they use these back in ancient times with someone adjusting the mirrors by hand
Yes, but I've been banned from training monkeys to move the mirrors and the slaves keep going blind.
Never trust a blind slave to shave you...

So you'd be guilty of copyright, liable, and bad spelling?
Can I get a copy of your Internet off you? Limewire perhaps? /stupid2amme
Ironic considering your sig. I giggled, but throw in some advertising and your site may fall into the latter category.
Not trying to flamebait, but...

The law has to be concerned with miscarriages of justice, thats why the "eye for an eye" (or rape for a rape) will never work.
Might not help actually diagnose diseases, but when it comes to picking up?

Funny, I thought the concept of patenting was to pay "...credit where credit is due..." to the originator of the idea.
In the form of remuneration.
Well said, sir! Mod parent up!
