    Can I finally legally say that I own a copy of Photoshop?

    Depends on how much you pay your lawyer, and the judge.

    "Moses says that Bats are a type of bird"

    How about blaming that one on the translator?

    Do you believe the scientific classification of animals was done before Moses time? I thought that people like Linné came up with the classification systems like 2000 years after he died.

    This gives the gives the creationists more fire for their faux-arguments about how science is unbelievable and other garbage Yeah, or it could give some nut the idea that the exposing the fraudster is a serious blow to MITs academic credibility. Oh, wait... It's like saying it's a serious blow to the bank's credibility that they caught the robbers.

  7. Big Business on Violating A Patent As Moral Choice · · Score: 1
    "...this makes me wonder how bad the situation would have to be for some of the other governments to follow a path of violating patent and copyright laws for the benefit of the general population. Are there precedents, procedures for doing so?"

    I imagine that the military, CIA, NSA and other agencies have quite a few procedures for this, but they won't tell you.

    Big business are very close to these spy agencies and frequently ignore patent and copyright laws. Example include when Boeing got help from the Air Force to spy on Airbus and Lockheed Martin, another Russia's position that their country's spy agencies must spy on big business. So, uhm, yeah, there are precedents.

    "And the sex fixation in our siciety would not be there on a daily basis."

    Hmm, let's see what you're writing in your article:

    "...without sex? ...have sex, ......30 months without sex, ...having sex ...sex fixation ...potential for sex, ...constant reminder of sex ...crew are having sex, ...libido..."

    Good thing all that goes away on a space mssion when you're strapped down 10 feet away from that gorgeous russian researcher chick (think Isabella Scorupco in James Bond, yeah) and the only words that must always be in the front of you're mind are "sex is forbidden". It's not like that mantra have ever caused any sex fixation in the US.
