Wow, you appear to have a real anger problem, using language like that usually indicates a weak mind but I assume you just misread my post, so allow me to clarify.
My references to the third world were directed to the charity and benefits to Africa and other nations to the tune of tens of billions of dollars in medical aid as well as indirect benefits of an economy like that of the US and other nations, that has nothing to do with your country, however I seem to have hit some nerve which may indicate a self-loathing that I don't really understand. Argentina is a wonderful country I love Buenos Aries but I find that lately the people have become increasingly bigoted, close minded and nationalistic which is a pity. If you are a blind nationalist bigot then you are too close minded to read the rest so just stop now and wallow in your blind hate and bigotry. I am sure you and your fellow angry compatriots will revel in your hatred and expend all that venom and energy in outrage even if it means you never actually succeed at anything else.
Otherwise if you are not a close minded bigot there are a couple points you may find interesting. Your native Rene Favaloro came to the US and was a medical resident at the Cleveland Clinic in the United States, after years of study in the USA he became a valued member of the clinic's cardiology team.
Dr. von Braun, along with thousands of others was a prisoner of war after WWII. He was given resources, personnel and freedom to continue his developmental projects and was treated as a man of science and not a dirty Nazi. Dr. von Braun adopted the US and asked for and became an American citizen in the 1950s. Dr. von Braun ran the US space program into the 1970s and because the US provided him the freedom and resources to see his dream of a manned space program come true Dr von Braun was very grateful that he was able to land in a nation that was industrious enough and forgiving enough to allow him to not only fulfill his vision but a nation that would praise and celebrate his success.
Dr. Favaloro was not kidnapped neither was he a close mined self-righteous nationalist, instead he came of his own accord to the US to study surgery where he could be trained in the most advanced medical science and technology of the day. Dr. Favaloro worked directly under the head of cardiovascular surgery in the Department of Cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic for many years. He was an open minded and bright man; he understood how hard work would lead to success. Bigoted bitching about the USA would not have led him to his triumphs. The young and poorly educated often don't understand how free thinking and educated people work outside of ignorant bias and blind nationalism and those ignorant often use base language and histrionics to shout their uninformed opinions without the ability to engage in proper discourse.
We have welcomed Favaloro and Einstein and Bohr and tens of millions of other high achievers to this country because we always welcome hard working free thinking people. Our society more than any other rejects the provincial, self-righteousness and those that bitch about how unfair the world is. Where others whine and bitch those who advance this world work and succeed.
Smart people like Favaloro and other people with good ideas and a desire to succeed are welcome here, lazy crybaby idiots can stay where they are, we don't bitch about those who succeed we celebrate and reward their success.
With respect I am curious as to why those in the United States and other advanced economies should have to pay higher prices for their own products in order to subsidize products sold in developing economies?
I worked for a US drug manufacturer and was amazed that US drugs would sell for so much more in the US than overseas. The high prices for drugs in the US had to cover all of the research and development costs for the product, but the very same drugs would sell at a huge loss and were often given away far below cost in developing economies.
Often these drugs were the only cures for disease and providing them to the developing world to save lives was far more important than profit. What citizens of other nations don't realize is that the US customers of these companies have subsidized the creation of these products for years through very high prices. It is not profitable to sell US drugs in many developing countries but to not provide those drugs because of lack of profit would cost lives and would be very immoral.
The costs of creating these advanced products is very high and requires complex R&D, highly educated and skilled engineers and technicians. Why then should these expensive products be provided to developing nations for a price that is not economically viable? In general the first world pays the higher cost of domestic goods allowing for the subsidized sales of the very same products overseas at prices that are not realistic.
Having many export products selling in other markets for far less than the domestic retail price is an everyday reality for the US consumer.
The American people pay the highest price in the world for things like AIDS drugs while the US manufacturers make the same products available to the third world for free. This is an act of good world citizenship and compassion showing support for the development of other nations.
I see very little acknowledgement of this fact and too little understanding of how the US consumer subsidizes so much of what it exports from movies, games and software to medicines.
Since it is not life or death I frankly don't know if we need to see an increase in the price of software in the US to now cover what the market in India will bear for Windows. After all this is not medicine and there are wonderful alternatives like Linux available for free.
Many whole disk tools are quite dated (many still use a DOS based pre-boot for authentication and some are really slow) there is
one more up to date alternative (read fast) that uses a much more robust pre-boot environment (looks Linux-ish).
Parts of the US Department of Defense (the Office of the Secretary for instance)
are using very fast background full device encryption from MobileArmor:
I am not sure about other products but Mobile Armor is NIST certified 140-2 and has some really heavy duty government customers
that say they are encrypting cellphones, Linux and Windows machines with it.

Ok now what idiot is gonna be the first to try enforce the patents on the A-bomb?
Finally, it all makes sense to me now.
All that yet we're here posting about TV shows... I suppose it's a temporary escape.
