If a record low crime rate is due to the effectiveness of police, one would suspect that reducing the economic support for police would reduce their effectiveness, resulting in an increase in crime.
So no you don't want to cut their budget if they are doing a good job.
Nope. Corporations are necessary. Single proprietorships cannot reach the scale needed to undertake large scale economic activities such as building the world-scale infrastructure needed for say, building a modern airliner or a transcontinental railway system.
It's one thing to encode your music as mp3 so it fits on a portable device, and another altogether to purchase it in that form. Sooner or later you will wish that you had bought the lossless encoding.
Effort spent on codebreaking is one of the most cost-effective segments of a nation's defense budget. A million square foot data center is likely to be far less costly than an aircraft carrier, and it's likely to have more impact.
In wars codebreaking has often been the difference between success and failure. You are unlikely to break every code, but consider the effect that the US being able to read Japanese codes just prior to the battle of Midway, and what would have happened if they hadn't.
What is the cost of losing an engagement that would have prolonged the war with Japan?
With the types of wars that are being fought today codebreaking is even more likely to be valuable since conventional strategies are less effective.
Pedophiles often use such material in the process of recruiting their victims. By showing child pornography images to children, the children are socialized and become more accepting of their abuse.
Comparing this case to Kevin Mitnick's is laughable. Hilarious, really. In fact I'm rolling on the floor at a suggestion that these cases are in any way alike.
And as far as specificity of the warrant, the warrant must be specific as to the item being searched for and the location. HOWEVER there is always a degree of judgement of the scope of a warrant within the limits of the Constitution, and as such the judge does have the ability to control that scope.
Given the circumstances my choice would be to be expansive within those limits.
In my youth companies would hire a talented engineer out of school and have him work with an experienced designer in the field to develop skills in a technical specialty such as this, and hang on to him for dear life once the skills were developed. Now the idea is that these specialists are just spring up to meet need and can be let go the instance such needs are fulfilled.
Well what happens is the skills don't get developed that way, and nobody is interested in going $100,000 in debt to get what amounts to be a temporary job.
It's $50 a pill because it is a very low volume drug. It's usable only by a few thousand people world-wide every year, and it only extends life by 3-6 months. As such the development costs can only be recovered if the cost of the drug is quite high.
The action by India threatens the development of similar drugs. It's a very questionable move.

I would hope so. Type 2 diabetes is not treated with insulin.
And no you aren't born with type 1 diabetes either. It's an auto-immune disease.
Yes, probably not. But that wasn't the premise of the grandparent post.
I thought people like this were what you got from anal sex.
The topic of this story is so annoying I feel like it warrants USE OF BOTH
Your logic seems to be flawed.

Talk about bad logic. We don't ban cars despite their bad effects because they are very useful.
Child pornography doesn't have this sort of thing going for it.

EVIL I say.

Hating corporations is a bit strong. They are a necessary part of an economy that is no government owned.
I'd say just realize that they are out after their own interests and you'll be on sound footing.

Here's one.

IMHO the case as such is sufficiently egregious so as to justify an extremely broad warrant without much consideration by a judge.

I see you have no idea of the meaning of the word capitalism.
You can offer the pill for free. But somebody else will suffer as a result.
It's the law of unintended consequences.

What is unethical is to change a system so that it benefits somebody at the cost of greater suffering of others.
If it's going to be free how are you going to pay for research, development, testing, manufacture and distribution of the drug?
There won't be 1 million uses of this drug even if it were free. It has a very small market.
It's $50 a pill because it is a very low volume drug. It's usable only by a few thousand people world-wide every year, and it only extends life by 3-6 months. As such the development costs can only be recovered if the cost of the drug is quite high.

Surely you must realize that the money to develop Nexavar came from profits on previous drugs.
Moral behaviours like altruism are universal in the human species regardless of their cultural background.
Your argument lacks credence.
