Nah, they will "tweek" the chemical formula slightly so they can get a patent, this will reduce the effectiveness of the dosage so they will have to quadruple the dosage of it which will accentuate the nasty side effects.
They will then tout this "new" drug as the new "de-facto" Cancer treatment and it will be just slightly better than chemo in terms of horrible nasty side effects....
They have done this before and they will do it again. Thanks to big Pharma which has its hands in every major country. They are worse than big oil when it comes to maiming sick people in the name of profits. The FDA is their bitch and they are proud of that fact.
Damn You Carl Sagan!!!! You said once that we would reach the stars if we didn't destroy ourselves first, turn out it was you and your Voyager program which will destroy us and prevent us from reaching the stars!
A far more glorious dawn awaits, not a sunrise, but a cosmic ray rise which will burn all of us to a crisp with the power of 400 billion stars!
The solar activity is decreasing we are in a sunspot minimum temps will decrease on the earth and more cosmic rays will mean more rainfall due to the "cloud chamber effect" in the upper atmosphere.
How about building a tool in windows that ensures all windows system files are Genuine and then shows what extra crap and drivers startup and lets you choose to either disable or enable them. How about a Registry locker that you lock down your registry while running said tool so you can see if the Malware is trying to re-install itself back onto your computer?
It would cost only 3,000 dollars a year to educate a child in China, plus air fare both ways for summer break would be a little over 4,500.00 dollars.
In Washington D.C. taxpayers pay 10,000 per child. Clearly the best solution is outsourcing. Plus punishment can be handed out byt the Red Chinese, when you kid gets suspended they get sent to a weeklong shift in a factory. It lowers labor cost and kids learn discipline and when they get back they will respect their elders, RESPECT THEIR ELDERS!!!!!!!
Plus during the School year you won't have young punks all over town, instead they will be in another country wrecking that place up. DOUBLE WIN-WIN
Maybe they could scan your neural synapses and re-create your brain in software then upload to a virtual world in which you have to mine gold in it and pay the gold farmers untill you can earn a physical body with a decent cyberbrain.
No, an Empty fully stocked with fuel and food cruise ship! Just go offshore a mile and drop anchor. Safe for at least a few years or the next Hurricane in which case by then all of the zombies have starved to death.
What they really need is to make the biotech patents on crops only applicable for 5-10 years, that way it drives the bio-tech companies to come up with new stuff and we are not permanently patenting life.
I understand the need for them to 'protect their research investment" but it should definitely expire. We also need to make the law so it can't be abused like Disney abuses the copyright laws on nearly 100 year old cartoons.
10-15 year max patent on the genes while being "researched or tested". Which converts to 5-10 year max when it goes public. 5-10 year patent after the item first becomes available for public sale sounds like a good idea.
Then the gene sequences must then be made public as in free and able to be posted on wiki-gene-pedia or whatever exists then.
Think of it as "source code with an expiring copyright".
What they need is stem cells that grown in presence of a bio-compound not found naturally in the body. Give stem cells and drug them until stem cells are at the "just right" stage, stop taking the drug.
Net-Neutrality, that sounds like a swell idea by golly gee whiz!
I like being Neutral and if the FCC is behind it then I am all for it. I trust the government to do the right thing because they are all saints no matter what party is in power.

I am still waiting for a version of Windows 8 that I can run on my 4004 CPU with a 4bit storage bus....
Hello, My name is Bob (Patent Pending).
How long before we start patenting people....
I love that part!

That and I personally know a pharmacists who keeps up with all of the latest news concerning this.
Only if you have a compound fracture, if you have a internal only fracture you will still need a cast.

Now get off my damn lawn you whippersnappers!!!
Do you know how much toner a person could make???? From a person.....
Anyways even that kind of toner would be cheaper than the stuff HP sells for their printers.
Yeah, you got to have a place for all of those dead calculators and toasters to go to.

I say we just outsource out entire foreign policy to the U.N. besides, that is their job right?
I would like to know because if it gets tied into the main deflector array it could cause a metreon cascade in the warp core's plasma injectors.
And some more "Billions and Billions"...
If every instance of an ad in a game would cut 25 cents from the consumer cost of the game, I would say got for it!
It would be nice to see if Sargent Johnson drinks Coke or Pepsi and if Gordon Freeman likes McDonalds or Wendy's.
Just read the comic B.C.
Data centers would really benefit from this.
Replacing Huge bundles of cable that needs to be electrically shielded with ODN (Optical Data Network) cabling.
There have been reported cases of Horizontal gene transfers caused by viruses and bacteria in Nature.
Some genes are thought to be transferred across plant/fungi/animal boundaries by certain pathogens.
Granted it takes a log time for such gene transfers to contribute to useful attributes for the target organism.
But this discovery of Naturally occurring Horizontal gene transfer is causing some issues in Molecular evolutionary genetics.
