>that virtually every medical breakthrough of the 20th century involved the use of animals in some way,
All those test results would still have been accomplished with human test subjects instead of animal ones.... I prefer using human test subjects , as no cruelty will come to them they way it does to animals in labs, and the testing will not be needlessly done, where as I find many of the tests on animals are done quite carelessly sometimes as they know they can just easily get more test subjects.
The difference is when you put someone's son or daughter in there to test on, all of a sudden you develop some interest in making sure the formulas are accurate!!! Wonder why that is, maybe because we have so little respect for life other than human....!!!
I think it is a great idea but is not legal, as it can also delete by error files that are infected, so that legal copy of LMFAO mp3 is deleted because it had a virus...no thank you! The best is what MS is doing, hunting down the C&C and shutting them down as well as shutting down all infected pcs.
Now, everything someone says is recorded because they think people care to read what they have to say, so you can not delete what you say, and as usual, people will put their foot in their mouths, and now will pay for it. Back in the day with no social media, you would say something to someone knowing that it was a private conversation, and that if ever it came down to it, it would be the accuser's words against theirs...leading to a confrontation, where as today, no confrontation, proof is in black and white, can be printed off, and mailed to the unlucky bastard who thought his wife really loved him, where all along she was putting up with him only to make sure she had stability...
Talk is cheap, and actions speak louder than words, usually you will see in advance how much someone really likes a person. If this remains strong in the relationship for a long time, there will be no problems...
He is absolutely right, why go to the theater when I have a 60 inch at home, while i can stream off the internet directly? I pay for 1 night for 2 people at the movies, 45$+ to watch a movie that lasts 2 hours, then stuck in traffic coming back home. If I invest some money at home on internet, seats, popcorn maker, and 60 inch....I take all that away and still save money in the end.
The cinema is dying, and not from the fact people dont want to watch movies, but they now have access to all that tech the cinemas do.... the cinema needs to be realistic, they can no longer charge a second mortgage to go watch cars 2!!! Popcorn costs nothing, so add popcorn vending machines that self serve the people, same thing with the drinks, less space needed for people to be served , they buy there, and to avoid them buying from outside and bringing them in, which we all have done, make the pricing competitive to the stores.... people will want less to carry all that crap if they can buy it there at the same price.
And last, we know the movies are coming out more and more now , and not worth the price of the ticket, so why charge that much anyways, lessen the overhead with less employees, and bring down a bit the ticket price, then you will see more people coming back to the cinema....
As long as we all can enjoy the fruits of this labor, who cares, if the russians, chinese, koreans, or americans, make this happen, IT WILL HAPPEN, just make sure to be part of it, so extend the arm of friendship and become a partner already.
>A good analogy will only clarify your personal point, not make it correct. I agree
I do not agree completely that you can not really blame a company/organization/government for having 1 person in place that could make a decision that affects the said body to go bankrupt. If you are MS, back in the day of Bill Gates, Bill could say, buy 1 billion chocolate bars, and you would buy 1 billion chocolate bars... even if that ment you went out of business, he was the boss.... If you are the US government, you can not say you to the president, you can tell us to do anything but we have something in place where what you say does not matter. In the end, if Obama wants to spend trillions helping banks, which he did, going against all cabinet party members advice, he will!
So I do not fully agree the company is responsible for that business model, if our democracy allows this to be the norm.... then it would be us the people who are responsible for allowing all companies to operate under our voted acceptance of that business model as being the norm. 1 janitor can not send a whole company into bankruptcy unless he was the one to use bad cleaners in the toilets, causing water damage to the pipes, and then flooding the whole warehouse of goods, and ruining all inventory in the process. Insurance,..... of course, yet 1 person was able to bring it all down, now he did not mean to do that, maybe the cleaners were switched by accident, but accountability is if he sees his actions were at cause, then he should own up to it.
Yes maybe lose his job, if the company deems necc. but if the company says, you cost us xxx dollars, you lose your pension or the like, to cover the cost, I think it only fair, where as these lame brains that ran the banks, and knew in advance the crisis was coming (proof is in many places) did nothing, and let the chips fall where they may... that sounds like a good reason to say you get no severance when we fire you, good luck in your future.

I agree with you on this one, I know their browser market share has gone up , and now surpasses FF. So this will definitely help them in the long run, either pay now, or pay later, and maybe more money...
>Why should someone get fired for making a mistake that anyone might have done. You are right, we should never impeach anyone for doing something bad, let alone even criminal, and then playing dumb, like "oops, did i do that"
Accountability is what is missing the most in the higher ups management position, I would take all the big bank CEOs that got us in the economic mess we still live today, while they got big bonues, line them up, and shoot them all, then let's see any more big shot think he can walk away with a big payday after screwing so many out of their retirement.
Accountability is what is missing in the small time employee, who jacks off all day, thinking it is not right that he makes so little, while the big boss makes all the cash, so he is not going to pay attention to how he packs the orders, and low and behold, at the end of the year, all those employee mistakes, cost the company 12 millions dollars, that is again a major piece of change that could put some companies into bankruptcy!
Accountability is the magic word, that if so many more people truly knew what it meant and actually lived by, would have a much better world to live in, especially you BP, with all your oil spills, and no shame in walking away from that clean up without a scratch.
Not if people all of a sudden does not want any....the whole point to my post was to show how as consumers we are stupid at letting the oil industry dictate the pricing to such an extreme where all it would take is a few weeks without gassing up to really bring down the price.
Could you elaborate to let us know if the UK University would also recognize the course done abroad for the credits the student should be getting for completing it?
>earn certificates Problem here is , this is a new major market just like the slightly varied IT courses given.

>IDC has predicted that hard disk drive supply shortages in the wake of Thailand flooding would affect consumers, Funny....there was just as many drives for sale on the shelves at bestbuy as usual....where was the shortage....let it go for about 1 year, and let the shelves empty out, and people scramble to get all their old hdds dusted off, then maybe ill believe a shortage...this stinks of the same crap that the oil companies try pawning off on the economy when a small storm hits, and low and behold have to raise their prices by 12 cents because the factory was closed for 1 day...
Gravity comes from a magnetic field, and that is produced because we have a big magnet like metal compound inside the earth, and I know that crystal is not able to become magnetized, so it all makes sense to me!
How could he get a legal smackdown, is there a law against changing your name to mark zuckerberg? Please clarify this for me, as I am at a complete loss of understanding for your statement....
My guess is that in the lengthy process that a solar system and/or planet evolves, in which we know nothing about, but can only theorize (as no one has ever lived long enough to see a planet go from a to z), is it possible that there was a core, but the core now has disappeared(on purpose) and that this will create a small vacuum where by the gasses will draw inwards and create a molten core, which in turn will start forming an earth like planet at a much smaller scale, so the large becomes small, and habitable in about 100 million years???
This will definitely put an ire into their plans, as having to sue your own boss in name is quite a feat! I give him credit for thinking this way, as he did it to prove a point, and so he should be rewarded,....... with being named after the richest man on earth.....not bad at all!
>And you also know that several of your close friends and family members wouldn't be alive today or would have debilitating diseases if not for animal testing, yes? You do know, that we could have made just as much progress using human test subjects....the whole point of my rant was to show how little people value lives other then humans.... you would never consider using your own son to test on, yet you would consider using an animal which might be have family as well, but just because they have limited intelligence, you consider them less then yourself and great to use for painful testing that you would never subject yourself or your family to do.
You sir are a classic example of what I am going on about. You are trying to point out the reason why we are so advanced was because we had animals to use for testing. Why not test using criminals, or the blacks (if this was 18th century) or any other nation that is not your own....I mean is that not how the US became so rich....on slavery? So again, let us demean the existence of yet another species or living entity other then ourselves, to get results.
I would gladly take you son, put him on a bed, strap him down, start inserting tubes and needles into him, and start pouring dye in his eyes to see if it would cause blindness, and be without any remorse or emotion, because I would just be doing my job, and I would love for you to sit and watch, as this was being done to your son, in another room where you could have no access to him, but merely watch.
This would please me very much, as it might show you just how bad we are to other living creatures on this planet....
"OH, we would not be where we are today without...." BULLSH*T ! Test it on you or me, or your mother, or my mother, I don't care, but stop using every other resource you can to bring about your pleasure, and the destruction of this planet.
ps- If some alien life form came to Earth and turned around and placed us in "farming camps" for their food source, and our existence became just about standing around in our own feces, waiting for that day where they would take us to that nice place to take our heads off, I am sure you would find great comfort, in knowing it is for THEIR greater good, seeing as they would be the more INTELLIGENT species and would deserve to live more then us, correct, because intelligence is what decrees who lives and who dies, correct???
