More interesting stuff: Eli Lilly is the only big pharma company that is headed by a scientist. It is also spends more of its budget on research than any other big pharma company. As a science geek, it's my favorite pharma company. The company's stock, LLY, yields 3.7% and is near the bottom of its trading range... I don't own any but I'm thinking about it.
So this form of copyright infringement is illegal, but the law impossible to enforce? Not a good situation. Congress will be forced to give IP rights holders increased power to police infringement.
You are paying for it. That savings account that gives you 1% interest? The bank actually has the money invested in bonds which yield 4%, and they are keeping 3% for free. Sure, they could send you tokens in the mail. They could even put X.509 certificates on the smartcard chip on your ATM card... That's 2-factor.
But they don't. Only SALES pay out bonuses, so why invest in anything other than sales gimmicks?
The FDA is investigating cases where drug companies have paid generics cash if the promise not to make certain drugs... so I wouldn't rule that out for Propecia.
The US should push for Cuban property to be given (or sold) to the Cuban population.
You win the epic short-sightedness award! If the state reinstates property rights and redistributes property to the people, one generation later, the people will have voluntarily sold the property to international developers.
If the people do not have the right to sell their own property, then it isn't actually their property.
The inevitable result of property rights is property in the hands of those who can use it most productively. The only alternative is to allow the state to own all property, giving those in power a dictatorial position.
Life isn't fair, but capitalism sucks less than anything else we've tried.
The probability for intelligence seems to me to be the biggest hurdle. That humans are intelligent at all seems nothing more than a genetic fluke, and not a guaranteed outcome.
I disagree.
Every animal (and almost every organism) has sensors for heat, pressure, vibration (specialized pressure sensor), scent, and/or electricity. The first organisms with sensors likely had reflex reactions to their senses, which gave them slight advantages. Eventually, animals developed conditional reflex reactions to sensory input, combining multiple inputs simultaneously. This is decision making, aka "thought," aka intelligence. As the decision-making organ (brain) mutated, it added complexity until we had the smart animals, like dogs, dolphins, and people.
Given cellular life, intelligence seems inevitable.
I'm right with you, man! Those fascist corporations are just like our fascist parents who won't let us watch MTV, and the fascist schools who require us to take math even though its really hard!!!
If it weren't for the fascist economists, we could just get rid of money, and thus all scarcity, and everything would be free!!
Hm? This is your standard sales pitch for genetic algorithms... ended with some vague call for "recursive" genetic algorithms... It's nicely worded, but there is no new value in it unless he explains what a recursive genetic algorithm is in some meaningful way.
I think you're really reaching. Discovering a vulnerability and not disclosing it is bad etiquette, but nothing to lose sleep over. Everyone in the industry knows there are more vulnerabilities in existence than anyone will ever find. Were you high when you wrote that;-)
Of course, we can't know for sure, but I challenge you to compare the number of drugs invented at universities to the number of drugs invented by pharma companies for any given time period.
You present a choice between drug use and the inability to be creative. This is a false dichotomy. You then assert I made an ethical judgment on drug use. This is fallacious.
If you don't understand logic, then how can you effectively work with computers? The things literally run on logic.
I held a clearance in the USAF (1971-1975) and saw stuff that is still classified. I wouldn't doubt for a minute that today, decades after the Carona, they can point a satellite at your house and count the fleas on your dog while looking through your roof.
I worked for the USAF from 1971 to 1975. I was part of a team dedicated to developing rigged demos of sci-fi technology, demonstrating it to semi-technical and non-technical staff, and hoping they leaked just enough info to spook the ruskies.

It will be released as soon as they release 64-bit flash for Linux.
Taurel is resigning. The he is being replaced by Lechleiter, who started as an organic chemist.

Whiskey works, too.

I thought copyright law allows $150k per infringement. Why did he settle for $20k?

The patent expired a year ago, but somehow, Merck has stopped all the generic drug companies from making it. Bribes? Legal tricks? I don't know.
There is a baldness cure. It's called Propecia. Unfortunately, it costs about $60 per month, and you have to take it for the rest of your life.
You're all rhetoric and no argument.
People have been scamming the desperate and lonely out of their savings for centuries. Don't blame the internet. Blame human nature.

This is why we need to start a religion that abhors interactive entertainment (video games today, holodeck eventually). Something like the Amish.
Once our population dwindles as we game away our lives, these religious nuts can repopulate the earth.
