The plans contain the cure for cancer or maybe HIV or maybe the common cold? Don't dismIss it until after it Is studied

Damn straight it is one city i wouldn't mind seeing rubbed off the map.

However the code itself is 140 bytes, the number of libraries required to operate it is at 10 gigabytes.

It keeps being said because it is the exact opposite of what is happening.

It also doesn't make sense to those who don't want it to be true(the companies themselves). Most people also don't understand the simple abstraction too much of any one thing is just as bad as not having it at all.

That is called capitalism. workers are just a resource to be abused like any other. Why do you think it is called Human Resources?

Really in a country where the average person doesn't have health care at all(USA) do you think worker exploitation in a foreign nation is really that shocking? 1 in 6 Americans don't have any insurance. another 2/6 have health insurance coverage so useless it is only good for emergency room visits.

and they are going to lose.

The thing is in order to expand and grow you need new ideas. tougher IP laws actually restrict new ideas and slow down development. That is why China and India have or ignore IP laws. It is why after WWII the USA ignored IP laws for 30 plus years.

however when you get complacent you make tougher IP laws, which prevents someone else from taking a good idea and moving it in another direction. Think of the number of Patents in a cell phone or even worse a smart phone and realize that those patents are from the 1990's.

The tighter you grip on imaginary property the less you are likely to dream up something new.

Just remember Nokia, motorola, HTC also build their phones in China, but they don't even get apples minimal level of raising the workers up.

There are ZERO phones out there made without sweatshops like this.

Apple gets singled out because they are large, but smaller shops are the ones who treat them the worst.

what about the last 3-4 years worth of discoveries, of phase change, memresistors, etc. Many of which get more efficient the smaller you go.

So NAND Flash has a lifespan. big deal, So did magnetic core drives, Hard drives are still going strong but are reaching the top ends for themselves too.

different drugs affect different people in different ways. If your spouse was having a bad side effect, then you look for another drug that doesn't hurt you .

however trying to get the dosage, drugs combination just right takes time, and for the patient to keep the doctor in the loop.

targeted ads yea right.

according to google I live in eastern europe. I live in teh USA.

If they can't even get my IP right for location then what the fuck are they targeting.
