    So you've obviously not seen the time-lapse of bacteria evolving resistance to stronger and stronger doses of a toxin in a matter of days (BBC Horizon:'Defeating the Superbugs' sadly no-longer legally available on-line). If they couldn't have predicted what was going to happen, I doubt if they would have bothered to set up the shot.

    If some-one produces a 'missing link' I'm sure you'll pipe up that there are now two missing links.

    Do you really think it would go like this:

    Most powerful country in Europe: Your website is against our laws.
    Facebook: Your laws count for nothing. If you try and stop us we'll go home with our ball.
    Most powerful country in Europe: Shit you called us out; do what the fuck you like.

    You're obviously very naive.

  9. Re:Market Analysis on Publishers Warned On Ebook Prices · · Score: 1

    Also, what about the cases where a publisher thinks that a book will be a hit, prints ten billion copies, and then the book fails and all those copies get landfilled?

    Excess unsold books don't get landfilled they are pulped and recycled.

    There is no god.

    Atheism is non-belief in any deity.

    All religeous people are wrong. They only vary in how much harm they do by systematically lieing to their children.

    They should call it "bunch of guys standing around on a field for weeks at a time ball"!

    You exagerate my friend. The bunch of guys never have to stand around for more than 5 days, that's not even a whole week! And they get time off for lunch and tea.

  20. Re:My mom's husband has hearing aid troubles on Is There a Hearing Aid Price Bubble? · · Score: 2

    Doctors essentially have a captive audience and they use that to maximum advantage when they try to sell you something.

    That is wrong on so many levels. It's called abuse of trust.

    Do your kids expect you to scam them? Do you try to scam your parents? Hey that's the American way - only a limited supply of parents/children per person so use that to your advantage to shaft them. It's OK, it's how a free market/capitalism works.

    You guys are seriously fucked up in the head.

    Yes accounts are generally free, some even pay interest while you're in credit.
    Fees are only generally charged as penalties if you do something wrong - eg. unauthorised overdraft, or exceptional - eg. fast type of money transfer
    Other than that, the fact that they have your cash is considered sufficient reward.
