Manufacturing medicines is very cheap. It's developing a drug and testing it which is expensive. Most medicines can be manufactured for a few cents per dose.
"I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong," Jobs told his biographer. "I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this."
I am in USA and I'm holding in my hand a box of advil ibuprofen tablets 200 mg per tablet. Now its getting late in the morning so if a canadian out there could put down his second molsen breakfast beer for a moment and shovel the snow to make a path to his or her medicine cabinet and report the size of a canadian advil / ibuprofen tablet I'd appreciate it. My hypothesis is that skinny canadian advil tablets are a mere 100 mg per tablet or maybe only 75 mg as opposed to the fatty american 200 mg tablets.
I checked with a skinny canadian friend of mine. He said that he usually just looks at photographs of American 200 mg Advil. That keeps him going for 2-3 days.
The right against self-incrimination originated in England and Wales. In countries deriving their laws as an extension of the history of English Common Law, a body of law has grown around the concept of providing individuals with the means to protect themselves from self-incrimination.
The next thing Amazon needs to do is leverage these pickup locations into payment locations. At that point they will be able to do what wal-mart started doing earlier this year and accept cash for online purchases.
So now - pickup is not at home - payment is not online.
Next thing is to do what what Walmart have been doing since the 60s. Let the customer also look around for stuff at a convenient location instead of online.
From that point on I have bought and sold all my games on half.com. The games there are vastly cheaper and on re-sale you usually get 50%-75% return on investment
half.com 1) Buy used game at 50-75% of new price 2) resell them vastly cheaper than a new one. 3)..... 4) Profit
Steps 1) Get partner home from bar 2) Get them to sleep as soon as they reach your home 3) Test them for HIV 4) If they test negative, wake them up and have sex.
This is the real reason Apple patented it - to save customers of other implementations from bad implementations. Too bad the stupid judge didn't realize it.
unless of course said hacker is not US-based but that would raise EVEN MORE questions about the ethics if hackers are getting involved in commercial arrangements in FOREIGN countries
I don't understand. Is it more ethical to do extortion in your own country than in a foreign country?

This was talked about in 2007 - http://www.citeman.com/1499-air-fuelled-car.html
5 years down the line, they are still talking about it.

Normally, slashdot readers are all for opt-in as compared to opt-out. Why is it different here?
When the USA had no good authors, Charles Dickens used to be pirated heavily in the USA. http://www.doctorsyntax.net/2010/01/charles-dickens-get-your-cotton-pickin.html
This primed the print industry in the USA. USA started worrying about piracy only after they had their own authors who needed protection.
This is the reason it's hypocritical when the USA complains about piracy in the developing countries.

I doubt if Firefox is going to do this anytime soon.
This is the reason Google made Chrome and also support Firefox monetarily.
So now
- pickup is not at home
- payment is not online.

Probably a developer post in Google and a consultant post in Microsoft. Microsoft's interviews for the product developer post are fully technical.

The best way is to set an example - by giving up ones own nuclear weapons before telling other nations to stop building nuclear weapons.
