  3. Re:Netflix Called on Possible Treatment For Ebola · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It makes sense to come up with a cure (vaccine) for Malaria because of so many people in third-world countries who come down with it. Sure, there aren't many first-world countries where you'll get it, but you'd want to vaccinate people around hot spots or disease reservoirs. Also, remember that just because someone is on the other side of the world, that doesn't mean they can't be in your population center in under 24 hours on an international flight. The world has gotten much smaller, and disease can spread much faster.

    The fees from those rejected patents would come from your patent application fees. Fail.

    The patent system in the US doesn't matter if countries like China violate the patents in China. While the US is still the largest economy, China is set to surpass it in the next decade.

    I do not. Unfortunately, until there is a vaccine for HIV, it's still a dangerous game depending who you're sleeping with.

    It's less of an issue for myself and my wife since we're married, but we do have a female friend who we include from time to time, and we all get tested every 3 months. Trust but verify.

    Even forming relationships to trust someone isn't foolproof. They could be an STD carrier and still not tell you. Or they may not even know themselves.

    The LED LCD TVs along with Corning's new Gorilla glass (so there is no border/bezel around the edge of the TV, the picture can fill the entire screen size) are going to be awesome. Sturdy, extremely-scratch resistant, and light weight.

    Isn't this somewhat similar to how Google demanded open access provisions for the 700mhz spectrum as long as they were a bidder, and they made their first token bid before letting carriers buy it up with said provision in place?

    Even in public there is such a thing as privacy.

    True. But it is extremely limited.

    From the PDF:

    Members of the public have a very limited scope of privacy rights when they are in public places. Basically, anyone can be photographed without their consent except when they have secluded themselves in places where they have a reasonable expectation of privacy such as dressing rooms, restrooms, medical facilities, and inside
    their homes.

    Permissible Subjects

    Despite misconceptions to the contrary, the following subjects can almost always be photographed lawfully from public places:

    accident and fire scenes
    children
    celebrities
    bridges and other infrastructure
    residential and commercial buildings
    industrial facilities and public utilities
    transportation facilities (e.g., airports)
    Superfund sites
    criminal activities
    law enforcement officers
