Well then is this number meaningless? Presumably you'll be trying to determine the amount of "disease markers or pathogens" in a given substance. It doesn't indicate how useful the device would be in finding these things in ground water, soil, air, urine, blood etc.
I don't have access to something I have not just a moral right to, but what should be a legal right to as well. It's akin to buying a house and not being able to change the light bulbs or put an extension on without asking the original architect for his permission.
What rights do you have to the code? Surely this is exactly the same as buying a book. You have access to the information and you own the paper it is printed on, the covers and even the ink that the words are printed with, but what you didn't buy is the information itself. That is worth far higher than the $10 you shell out for the book
Where then, is the moral crusading against the author's ownership of his own book. The world couldn't work very well if *everything* was free.
I also think that the fact that Bill Gates is personally giving all the help that he is is far more important than what the many smaller-companies that would fill the niche, if MS wasn't there, would do (ie buy yachts and cars etc.)
First MS leaves huge security holes in their products that makes it a cinch to get viruses - To get rid of the virsus many people have to reinstall the operating system - now you can't even do that easily. Good work MS. What next? Will every user have to have to buy their very own OS?

What does this mean exactly? 0.02 micrograms per litre of what?
