Look, what these snakes are doing is unethical and despicable.The whole pharamaceutical industry is full of rats who only care about their own interests. Any roadblock to their devious practices is welcome. In this case it's a really old trick they thought to implement.. changing one molecule on a chemical so that it's a "new" drug and then they have a brand new patent. The amount of research is negligible to nonexistent, as they already have a whole stockpile of isomers and other similar chemical formulations for almost every drug they supply. They probably have already done the testing as well and they just store the results. When a patent is about to expire they simply contact the FDA , supply the data and ask for approval. Similar drugs like this are also usualy fast tracked by the FDA to allow the company to market them quickly, as well. I mean, have you ever wondered why there's dozens of benzodiazepines (valium style drugs) on the market when the first ones worked so well? Patent expiry. Usually the ones with the best results are marketed first, and then they dig through their research, to find one to replace the one about to expire. Unfortunately, these often were passed over initially because of troublesome side effects, so often each new version is worse than the one it replaced. That's why it always seems that they get worse, or more addictive, or more serious side effects with each new drug. Yet they still get approval from their buddies at FDA. And if you need even more evidence of their complete moral corruptness, when I was more involved in the industry, my partner at the time (an RN) got offered the position of detail saleswoman, in large part because she was also an ex ramp model. She stormed out of the final interview, however, when it was clearly implied that she had to do *anything* to secure the sale (ie a guarantee that the MD would prescribe only their drugs) .. Basically she told me they expected her to prostitute herself for the deal. Although she refused, some other aquantances of ours did not. The money is, after all, extremely good...

I'd like to add that I used to marvel at how all my hippie friends raised their kids, and thinking no good was going to come of this, that if those kids ever have kids of their own we're in real trouble. Well, they did, and we're in trouble. Thankfully some have chosen to carry the burden for the rest of us .. but defacing Nazca is NOT how to do it..

Here's the big problem.. who do you think raised these rotten millenials? The woodstock generation.. a more self serving self righteous generation never existed and I'm ashamed to be part of it...

Fire Me, Myself, and AC. Give the position to "I". After all, "I" always think I'm right...

I've been a diehard supporter of QNX for 14 years, and I'm sure it goes back twice as far, again. Until a few years ago I was always getting updates, but they stopped and I can't log in anymore either. Maybe Blackberry did something, dunno for sure . since I can't remember the email I had back then or my pass I could be at fault. Even so, it's just a rock solid, ultra stable system. I thought it was the best move BB could ever do , aquiring QNX.. And now Ford is using it. Good move... Bank ATMs should have switched to it too, why they went from OS/2 to Windows flummoxed me..

ER..calling it that might just be a wee bit of a stretch... ;-)

Yeah, it seems it's only women who make that error..

HAh! I can still remember the inventive lyrics I came up with when in a semi - cover band. Unfortunately, none of the stuff we picked had the lyrics handy..

Congress quietly also passed a bill allowing searches up everyones crack while asleep in their bedrooms..

Great for Google.. but... not so much else. I pictured a few apps I use regularly, to see if portrait wouild be a help or hindrance. Hindrance every time.

Whoopee!! Fifty cents an hour! Boy oh boy the neocon business owners are creaming themselves at the thought!

Agreed. I would have thought that the modest inconvenience of pesky ads, to ensure a free internet would still be worth it to almost everybody. It is to me, considering the alternative..

Aah.. but frist psot has dippaseared..

Yeah, but they're still dinosaurs. And we (or many of us) eat dinnosaur eggs every morning. So this begs the question.. were cro-magnons Morg and Clog smart enough to collect archaeopteryx eggs? Or would they have had to have a braincase the size of Neandarthal to figure that one out? Or was new "wife" he clubbed and drag into cave by hair the one who did the dirty deed of raiding archaeopteryx nests? PS apparently since Neandarthals had bigger brains than we do they would have figured out 4th dimension travel by now, had they been the dominant species. Maybe that's why the 2 foot long skull "humans" wiped Neandarthal out?

Actually, the US was only the preferred place of immigration for nazis if they worked for the gov't in high security positions, such as the US missile program etc. Good 'ol Nazi know-how for the American war machine...
