Comment Like the big 3 in the '70s (Score 1) 551

Computer manufacturers have become just like the big 3 auto manufacturers in the 1970s. They have never come to a corner they didn't cut. Asking 90% of computer buyers to burn their own recovery media is unreasonable. Surfing the Internet and checking email is all they know how to do. Even if they do have some idea about burning discs, they don't know which brands are good, and which will only make coasters, and you get only one chance to burn recovery media. Hewlett-Packard-Bell (I am comparing two companies, not confusing them) started this disgusting trend. It is transparent that their attitude is "There's a sucker born every minute. They are dumb enough to buy our computers." Once the rest of the industry saw HP getting away with this, they followed suit.

The worst part is that countless people will die when it is used to seize shipments of unauthorized generic versions of still patented drugs that would cost more than a years salary per dose if bought "legitimately".

Comment Crazy talk (Score 1) 981

No, of course it is not immoral to cure a disease. Who asked the stupid question, a Jehovah's Witness? A Christian Scientist? Such crazy talk could not have come from anyone but a religious nut who thinks God wants you to suffer, or he wouldn't have punished you for your sins with a disease. People who believe since nonsense would have kept us in caves, or caused our extinction if they had run the world from the dawn of man until now.
