    Most important reason should be: you think it's fun or a challenge to do.
    If you don't want to hand it over, put it on a usb stick.
    If you want money for it, let them know and come to a mutual agreement.
    That can either be they will pay you for it, or they will not pay you for it or something in between.
    At least you both know what you're up to :)

    Yes, Cowboy Yanks do show yo to "save them", but "them" never lives in Africa. Also "them" happen to live mainly in areas that are in any way economically interesting.

    If you want to bear virtual arms, you must have a virtual permit to bear arms...
    Further more, it should be possible to distinguish fake virtual arms from real virtual arms, so you can see who (and what) you have in front of you.

    But the best thing is I'm virtually bullet proof :)

    Antibiotics giver to farm animals has nothing to do with this. Seriously, learn up.

    Q-fever, MRSA. Nice examples of viruses that got stronger in farm animals because of all the antibiotics we inject them with and are now spreading amongst humans.
    People get antibiotics for a simple cough. A simple cough will go away without antibiotics and you won't die from it.

    "But nature will definitely find a new balance. "
    there is never a balance.

    Fine with me, but that was not the point.

    Buying non-industrial meat is a great idea anyway. Recently I found out we have a "biological" farm close by end they sell their meat to the biological supermarket close by. That meat has a lot more flavour than the regular saline injected (you pay for some added salty water. why?!) supermarket meat.

    Good point. Thanks.

    There are different reasons for crop mutilation. Some are to make them grow better in hard environments. Others are to make them more resilient against fungae, bugs and stuff like that. Same mechanism as with the bacteria. This time for plants though.

    One example I've read about (no, I will not google that) is bananas. There is one type that is very popular and it's produces in large quantities for that reason. At a certain moment there was a fungus or bug that "worked" quite well with that type of banana with all the consequences for the harvest.

    Perhaps not the best example, but there are definitely some parallels here I think.

    True, but these are just two examples for 47 countries. We can say just about anything here (Europe) too. Not much difference.
    Not so long ago, saying communism was good idea in the US... Well. You could say it of course, but you would lose your job to begin with.

    For the rest: I disagree with your, in my eyes, simplistic view on the world, but I would never stop you from expressing it :)

    Giving antibiotics to farm animals also doesn't help and genetically mutilated crops is an other example of the same problem of making bacteria drug resistant.

    There is enough talk about reducing antibiotics for humans and animals though, but the pharmaceutical industry is lobbying against this kind of regulation for obvious reasons. The more they sell, the better. For them that is. Go free economy where only money rules and common sense comes last...

    Making antibiotics ridiculously expensive and inaccessible for people who really need them is indeed one way to "regulate" the use of antibiotics instead of simply not prescribing it for a simple cough.

    But also for over consumption. Everybody knows this will become a huge problem sooner or later, but everybody also decides to look the other way and hope it will go away. It's human nature I think. But nature will definitely find a new balance. It's like a nuclear reactor. If you don't regulate, things will get out of hand. We might like the outcome. We might not. :)

    True :)
    I just think it's sad that such a nice browser, fast, no bs, has changed into.. this.
    Maybe if the next step would be a huge setup procedure where you choose not to install a lot of features. THAT would be nice :)

    Personally, I think PDF.js is a great step forward and my choice is still Firefox.

    I already have a pdf reader on my computer. so why would I need another one?
