    You're talking computer programming versus Artificial Intelligence. Most people are not reading a paper by Alan Turing in a computer programming course.

    No, you don't get a free version, you don't get the media. You wipe it you've lost it. Not too mention the OEM version runs about $100. So no it's not free. Moron.

    No. No one demanded that any computer came preinstalled with windows. It just came that way. But when other operating systems starting hitting the scene, people started asking to have the computer sans windows and the manufacturer started saying no.

    Moron.

    Do you even know what you are talking about. There is no such thing a STEM "worker" or STEM "researcher." That's a obtuse thing to say. Do you really think people with PhDs don't work for corporations? Really Zippy? FYI yes PhDs do work in corporations.

    And your someone who did not read the article. These are researchers that want to engage in pure research, ask the tough questions that may not have an immediate application. But that's the point about research, discoveries lead to new ideas.

    FYI published papers *DO* result in products. Someone takes the ideas in the paper and turns it into something. That's the step that you missing in your list. We call those people engineers.

  25. Re:Tax patents/royalties to fund basic research on When Scientists Give Up · · Score: 1

    I hate to break it to you but not one single drug is developed in a vacuum. All research is based on other research. No pharmaceutical company develops drugs that is not based on other research. More importantly there have been no break through drugs developed by the pharmaceutical industry that justifies their 15 year exclusive patents. All they have done is make allergy medications and penis drugs.

    I agree about the patents but blame the corporations that claim they can't make the drugs with out them. That's not the NIH's fault.
