No, the research always comes from a basic need to supply people with medicines at a price that will let the producers feed their families.
I'm always confused by people who see it as humane to steal from one group to give to another. Maybe you could give your own money to the people who need it to pay for the drugs they need?
(Oh, and I love how my post has been moderated as a Troll, simply because someone disagrees with me. That comment was on topic, not trolling.)
We put prices on such things all the time. Humanity has lost on this one. Where do you think the research for the next AIDS drug will come from?
As cruel as you apparently think capitalism is, it's more cruel to take away the motivation to do the research. Ironically, if Brazilians could just keep it in their pants, AIDS would disappear in a generation. But no, apparently it's more fair in your opinion to take from a company that's trying to help people.
Maybe doctors and nurses shouldn't be paid either--I mean shouldn't they be helping for free?
As cruel as capitalism seems to you, it's less cruel than any other economic system.
Never mind orbital objects, how about setting a larger one of these up out in the Nevada desert and lobbing our spent Plutonium towards the Sun instead of planting it in a really deep hole?
You do realize the massive energy difference, right? Oh, and the consequences of a launch failure being much more significant for radioactive metals than for an inert metal, right?
I think a bigger indicator is that the "leave-a-penny-take-a-penny" dishes are being manufactured and sold with the intent printed on them. Which means businesses are paying money to not deal with money.
According to the officers, the man was resisting arrest and at this point was trying to grab one of their guns, hence the distracting blows to the head:
"The suspect's hand covered my partner's gun holster so I yelled at my partner to watch his gun. My partner responded by capping his gun and delivering a left elbow to the suspect's face causing the suspect to let go of him," the report said.
Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
As another poster said, the people in the federal government have preferred power to liberty--but limiting it to the current people in charge is silly. It's been going on for at lesat 100 years. Hell, go back to Abraham Lincoln and suspension of Habeus Corpus.
Regardless, the winning strategy would be to have lots of free time, then bid just before the end of the auction, then increase by a single bid increment just before the auction expires.
Because of this problem, it's not a favored auction type with buyers. Many sellers don't like it because they don't know when the auction is going to end.

No, he really meant Aortic Dissection which is when the Aorta develops a tear which if untreated, will lead very quickly to death.

I get the impression they're overreliant on flogging their employees.
Now, is "crapload" the metric unit?
I mean really--the proximate cause is warming in the arctic. I doubt a 0.1 degree global change would cause all the melting in the arctic.
Just read the Ubi forums to see how bad it is (of course, the forums seem to be down right now--go figure).

The beta was released yesterday. You can download it here.
This may tip the scales to make me buy some of these.
Yes, it's typically done by installing Firefox or Opera on XP. It's the proven solution that I use.

The business can't function if the office devolves into Lord of the Flies.
They were overpriced before Dell acquired them. Their customer service is probably better now (since it hardly could have been worse).
All they have to do is build a generator and rake in the money. If it's real of course.
My Dish PVR has a 30 sec forward button on it. No "secret" code required.
Of course, that may be a misunderstanding he used to have.

When bad things happen to good numbers (as well as Becker's other floating-point columns on that same page)
That's at least how it's reported.
And I wonder if it will be considered illegal for airlines or TV broadcasters to edit movies to show on flights?
That's really what customers of these services want anyway--the same cuts shown on TV or on airlines.
Note that I used the phrase "bid increment" which is eBay's way of avoiding penny bid incresases. The bid increment depends on the current maximum bid.
