    It would take years in the US for that.

    We'll maybe there is enough man power and equipment but pulling that off in 90 days, I want to see that first hand?

    I think some software does have warranties like the kind they sell for medical equipment, but maybe not. If so then why is it so expensive? There are 2 basic database software for hospitals here in the US. One says GE and the other says Siemens. I dunno about a warranty but for what it costs....but even engineers put down they are not responsible for this and that on their CD's but still they don't want a building to fall down which is still pretty hard but now they might have leaky roofs and stuff way out of level on a brand new building but that is usually on the contractor which does things as cheaply as possible, so I would say despite the requirements, IT staff are just as professional as engineering staff. Sometimes they even are intertwined.

    --So what you're saying is, that people in construction know how to make proper contracts?--

    Go do a hospital and then you will change your mind. They will have so many change orders, whew, but I doubt the Chinese will have change orders, even so, 90 days seems very short. Maybe 90 months?

    Maybe they have just enough people and equipment but....I just don't believe it. Skyscrapers are an incredible machine with just the engineering taking longer than that. I wonder if someone miss translated a month for a day here? 90 months I could see.

    It sounds like the same legal argument could be made here but who can afford to outlast Monsanto's lawyers unless maybe there was a class action suit that would take many years. Hell even the tobacco companies aren't totally defeated when it comes to advertising and look how long that has gone on.

    I'm not against GM crops. I'm just against some company wanting some poor farmer that can't afford their seeds to pay up when this stuff gets mixed in with his and possibly has the same effects with Round-Up BUT let me say this, would you want to eat your food after it has been sprayed with round-up? The food should be labeled properly as to whether it contains GM plants or not and what variety they are so that the consumer knows the risks. You know stuff just doesn't stay in one spot. Pollination can occur a long ways away but it doesn't matter in the US as all corn is GM period. And it shouldn't be a significant amount like you say but maybe that is all it takes. I thought we were talking Soya and not Corn.

    Personally, I would rather not eat RoundUp. Do it the old fashion way. Hire migrant Mexicans that are willing to pull weeds. Of course GM stuff can be a lot hardier, higher yield, etc. and still be cool but RoundUp tolerance means you get to eat that. Of course that's probably not as bad as antibiotics in meat. Who knows what the long term side effects of these practices are?

    In fact there are no little boys. The makers of generics are also the makers of on patent drugs. Teva might be a exception as I think they just make generics.

    Right normally it is the generics that are most prescribed and in shortest supply. Why it happens in the US? It's all the dope people get here for the amount of people that they are. Doctors get kickbacks and things like that.

    It's all of that fish. That's why. You can't get decent fish in Iowa. Things have kinda changed here as speed has increased a lot in the last few years but yeah cell phone companies profit more in the US than anywhere, but with your prices being lower than the UK maybe you have some form of subsidy. Like I said there is a lot of money and work too in fishing.
