Long involved biochemical reason why. Basically, the easiest way to kick in the apotosis chain is to heat the internal cell temp by approx 1 F. Heating to 1 F kills circa 98 pct cancer cells and impacts 2 pct non-cancer cells. Heating to 4 F kills 100 pct but kills 20 pct non-cancer cells, which causes organ failure and terminal death for person.
Methods for doing this vary. Trials underway right now.
Science never sleeps, it just doesn't always get attention when it says stuff, cause people get distracted by useless things like football and celebrity weddings.
Good point re fevers. Note risk factors in medical science for very old or very young in running fevers. Much higher than for 20-60 yo. Sadly, cancers crop up later in life.
Can't do that. Corporations are people too. Preventing them from trading would be violating their rights to freedom of speech, assembly, etc./me removes tongue from cheek.
What if we remove the voice boxes of the automated trading machines?
Strange story, that. I've been investing since I was a teen, and did paper trading in grade school from stock tables.
On Black Monday, after having just written an Economics paper for Capilano University on ethical investing, for which I'd researched true and tax book value for corporations, I realized that Apple was selling at such a low rate you couldn't lose if you bought it.
I phoned my grandmother and told her not to panic, and to put $10,000 in Apple stock. She did. Later she gifted part of it to me. I later sold parts of that and bought and sold Microsoft stock from the proceeds, which became the 20 percent downpayment on my first house.
Best stock day ever.
This led me to a later decision to buy 600 shares of Ford on what turned out to be the absolute bottom of the market. Made a killing on that.
Actually, we've had the cure for cancer for almost a decade now.
Basically, it involves heating the cells 1 degree F internally.
That takes care of 50 percent of all human cancers.
We also have cancer-targeting ligands that allow us to provide docking receptors for targeted drug delivery, have binding tags that add phosphorescent snippets to cancer cells so we can locate any missed cancers during surgery (we actually turn out the lights and the cancer glows in the dark, it's way cool), and we have remote blood sugar measuring with wristwatch devices.
But human trials take a lot longer than you think, and we have to start with mice, which we squish flat between plates to measure cancer growth and then chop open at the end. And that makes you all squeamish. But it works.
Since this is user reset to ON (to turn tracking off) and defaults to OFF (to be tracked), what is to keep Apple from resetting it to OFF every time they patch the OS?
So a subsidiary company with next to zero revenue will own the patents and license them to the real company (for cheap to keep that revenue down). They might even pay the real company to represent them in patent enforcement actions.
Come on, if that were to happen then Microsoft would base all its IP in Ireland and...
We do that at the UW with tech patents. The inventor assigns the patent to the University, and then has a First Right of Use. If they don't bring it to production in a set period, the license reverts and it can then be licensed from anyone.
Last time I checked there were more than 40 tech patents for solar, biofuel, wind, and other energy techs. Lots of other things like medical tech and so on.
The point of patenting is to encourage the development and advancement of science and the arts.
Patents are supposed to be licensed, especially if the patent holder has not widely distributed the invention. They are supposed to be licensed after the base patent period, not held as crown jewels and hoarded.
Not hard to figure. Put a lot of that in home equity. Max out 401k. Max out Roth IRA. Put rest in Savings Bonds.
If you started with consumer debt, pay that off (highest ROI). Same for car loan.
At end of process, own car outright. Sell house and use equity to own outright smaller condo/townhouse. Use IRA to fund education and Savings Bonds. Ladder those.
I doubt you could get 100 percent avoidance, but you could easily get 50 percent or more.
If your state has a Guaranteed Education Tuition program, pre buy credits for your tuition. Deductible.
Not having to pay rent and having no debt going in reduce your costs dramatically.
Well, in some cases, cardiac and other complicated surgeries can last a very very very long time.
Also, there are trauma incidents where the system overloads. Think of train derailments, or, commuter trains hit by tractor trailers. Or the volcano goes off, or an earthquake or massive fire or flood happens.
At those junctures, you just have to keep working.

Rich? My grandfather was employed in public works in NYC and my grandmother was female at a time when women didn't get paid much.
They saved.
Want to know how to get rich?
1. Steal it. (e.g. Gates, that FB guy, etc)
2. Inherit it (only works if you are of Scottish, Welsh, Russian, or Jewish ancestry, though)
3. Save and invest more than 10 percent of your income your whole life.
Which are you?
Just a warning about that beer can.
The Rainier logo gives it away, I think.

Also it depends on if it's a program limit order or a physical customer limit order. Different trading halts have different effects.
The market makers play by slightly different rules, as they're required to maintain liquidity.
(caveat - I have been a market maker for a number of stocks and bonds in my time)

From risk, comes opportunity.
How's that Zune RT doing fer ya?
they have a Walmart now, they've totally gone over to the Dark Side.
actually, some of the funding for some of the cancer research did come from the Gates Foundation.
so, in a way, Microsoft did "find the cure for cancer" ... or at least helped.
Most of the funding is from the UK Wellcome Trust and Howard Hughes, mind you.

Now .. you were saying?
Apple - check
Microsoft - check
Sorry, what was the difference again?
Um, news flash, the Microsoft Tablet RT isn't made in America either.
Source the fab. ... see?

(pin drops)
Well?
Mine was off too.
Not easy to think it would be there.
Too late, I already filed the patent for zero click buying.
I use remote brain imaging sensors to read your thoughts.

oh.
wait.
never mind.
meant licensed to anyone, not from anyone. my bad.

I think you've hit the nail on the head.
Patents are supposed to be licensed, especially if the patent holder has not widely distributed the invention. They are supposed to be licensed after the base patent period, not held as crown jewels and hoarded.
Outlaw and expire Business Process and Software patents.
Return to a basic 13 year and 17 year patent and copyright issuance.
And only allow the Person (not fictional Person such as a Corporation) to renew copyrights for a similar period until they die.
We were talking grad students.
When you are unsure of what you are doing, you're not ready yet.
Uncertainty about the results is a separate thing.
True.
But to train for such events, so that it becomes second nature, during the training period you push it so that when it does happen, you can cope.
Personally, I question it myself.
I think you're confusing TIME spent with WORK time.
A lot of this time will be reading and writing. You can do that anywhere.
And probably should.
