    Online, electronic, internet, or lots of other normal words that can already describe these sort of things. No new alternative is needed.

    Can we all just agree not to use the word "Cyber" anymore? It sound like some sort of silly late 80s early 90s grade B film.

    Actually I am not worried about that one bit. I am worried about all the fucking money we waste putting people in jail for something so pointless, I think you might call that a debt problem. You don't think that making people felons and in some instances depriving them of life is a big deal, I would think you might call it a social issue.

    Quite right, It also means we need to make a new petition.

    Why are you even holding this if you are going to respond in such a dismissive manner to every suggestion? What is the purpose of wasting everyones time when you knew from the beginning that you would do this? Instead of dismissing this petition just as flippantly, we urge you to go back and act on the other petitions.

    Google has run roughshod over everyone else's IP. Some of it may be legit but it is a consistent pattern. For example, who would deny that YouTube is built off of loads of clips from copyrighted materials? google profits from this immensely even if they did not upload the copyrighted material themselves.
    If they did not upload it, it is not their problem. They remove when they are asked to.

    Google news completely rips off and sublinks to copyrighted news content without compensation or even requesting permission.
    If the news websites did not like this they could easily change their robots.txt to avoid google spidering their site.

    Their android runs afoul of Microsoft and Apple IP. Don't take my word for it: manufacturers and courts have voted with their pocket books and injunctions. Google profits enormously from adoption of android since it enhances user adoption of the google ecosystem.
    In the current world of bullshit software programs all non-trivial software infringes on someones bullshit patent.

    As a consumer I of course benefit from all this. But producers of content are getting hurt.
    Producers seem to be doing fine, stop worrying about them.

    I am not a scientist nor a statistician, but I am fairly certain more than one person has died in an automobile accident. In fact some died in accidents that were the result of poor car design.

  22. Re:What about treatments that prolong life? on Re-evaluating the Benefits of Cancer Screening · · Score: 1

    This has nothing to do with government bureaucrats, nor does it matter for your wife. No one wants to take away healthcare, they just want to know if on the whole it is worth it to keep going down this track.

    The reality is treating someone who will die no matter what, if the treatment does not extend life by much is not medically worth it. If treatment adds only a month of life, a painful puking near death month, why bother? On the flipside, how many people are being treated and just did not need to be? Quality of life is much bigger issue than money.

    I wish your wife well.

    Holding costs down is just as important if you pay out of pocket, as if you have insurance or national healthcare.

    Ignoring cost there is another important factor here, quality of life.

    There is little point in killing 70 year olds on the operating table to attempt to remove a cancer that would not have killed them for another 40 years.

    So how do you plan to deal with people who have no insurance and need care? Let them die?
