If it's a life saving drug what happens to your mindless little Republican dogma then?
Without a real incentive ($$$$$$$$) there wouldn't be any overpriced life saving drugs BECAUSE THERE WOULD BE FAR FEWER LIFE SAVING DRUGS the insane prfits of drug companies means medical R&D is a more attractive field, thus you have more people working on new drugs, and thus far more life saving cures. trust me eliminating drug patents (or stealing them from successful drug companies) would slow drug research by much more than 20 years per functional drug, thus meaning fewer drugs available cheaply as patents expire.
The problem is, human HDL is unpatentable, so nobody makes such a treatment. If this is true (even if it's not), how many drugs out there are not made because there's no reason to make them?
Either that is entirely incorrect or their is some nasty side effect which makes it useless as a treatment, such as sudden death or brain damage.
the beauty of a free market system is that even without patents if it really did work some small company would form to sell the treatment and make a metric ass-ton of money in the time it took for other firms to mobilize and produce a competing product. Being first to market with a cheap and effective treatment would be very profitable especially with strong brand-association and marketing so competing products, though functionally identical, would seem like cheap knockoffs.
a quick and dirty way to compensate for a bad random number generator with song/wallpaper selection is to select array[(currentindex+randInt)mod arraySize] rather than array[randint mod arraysize]
they don't have a right to do it, the seller agrees to it as part of puttinbg the auction up. what right does a grocery store have charging $5 for a block of cheese that costs $0.75 to buy wholesale?
I also like being able to daisy chain my external drives via FireWire, which you can't do with USB2. you can chain USB2 if each device has a hub built into it, however daisy chaining USB is stupid because it slows down every device on the line to use one of them.
at the same time the martian bacteria would not "know" how to do anything with our biological systems and probably would not find our bodies to be a suitable environment.

the kernel compilarion speed is a benchmark factor for a server hardware.

I had my canon for years until par of the system between the print head and the printer went haywire and the carriage would just bounce back and forth without trying to print, that thing was a great printer, i currently have a low end Canon LiDE scanner as well as a miniDV camera. i will probably replace my epson inkjet with a canon laser printer soon, as the epson was a decent printer but the ink was reasonably priced, but was used up quickly.
i don't know about laser printers but I found Canon to be great with my old inkjet, unfortunately the tanks i needed were uncommon in my area so i had a 30-45 minute trip to the nearest store selling them, but they were only about $7-$15 depending on color or black.
that site posts no references whatsoever and other references to netflix spam were actually to ads sent out to existing customers to upgrade their service, which is not spam. I could not find any major correlation of 'netflix' and 'spam' on google, no more than any other online company and far less than many.
no they don't, many people sign up for netflix to get rare anime and stuff like that. a download subscription service which licensed their own anime from japan and licensed overseas TV and movies could do quite well, especially since web based services are much better at scaling down overhead costs thus reducing the number of required customers to stay in business.
I couldn't give a shit about what Chimpy and the Fundies say about the UN, The UN is a vestigal cold war era organization existing now only because like entropy, beauracracy is ever-increasing.

the GBA did not have an unusable screen, have you played a GBA or are you just parroting what you have read online?

If you don't like what they are doing sign up with tons of accounts to make useless profiles and turn their little database into worthless garbage.

I think the reason for hard increments on ebay is to keep the ebay database servers from being DDoS'd by $0.01 bid incriments.
like mac users can handle having to buy wires seperately....just kidding PC users would neep just as much.

closed source software can be decompiled and reverse engineered.
A nice GUI should not be a patentable innovation.
far more have than the number of people who have run resource intensive servers on their home machine.
