Just for arguments sake, let's say the climate scientists are right, and that if we don't stop doing what we're doing, we all die (or at least life as we know it and civilisation crumples and 95% of us die and we live in small pockets around the globe) Would you still say, why should we stop if the other people aren't?

Or maybe just invest the millions you made in something other than bling, hookers and blow.

Once you've made 10s of millions of dollars off your music, neither you nor your estate should have to worry about making more money of the same music. If you do, you're either greedy or an idiot.

If you haven't made 10s of millions, then I doubt extending the copy right would make much difference.

If I had mod points I'd mark you up as much as possible.

Gone are the days where an I.T. person can sit in a corner and play with code or the latest system. I.T. and computers are no longer a form of "black magic" that business must give money too.

Business now knows that if they don't get want they want from you, or can't understand you, then they'll go to someone who can give them what they want, or what they think they want, and they can understand.

IF you want to be successful in I.T. or as a CS grad, you need to be able to communicate clearly and succinctly with Business (I.E non techs) and Techs. Otherwise don't be surprised if the person who knows less than you, but is able to explain to business why his ideas are good and how it will benefit them, or actually be able to see what they require, and explain it to them, will be promoted above you.

I know plenty of people with baldness AND type 2 diabetes, my own dad for one, guess what - He hasn't killed himself.

If he did, he'd be a moron.

I have no sympathy for stupid people who are so caught up in themselves, that having something like hair is enough to end your life over. Maybe not having hair because you are undergoing radiation treatment, and have terminal cancer, then yes, you have the right to do what you want with your life.

But your original statement implies that people feel strongly enough about just been bald, that they will kill themselves. If that's the case, they're shallow narcissistic, vain morons.

And no this article is about us potentially finding away to control it, currently we don't have any other than one's that make you look like donald trump. I never said there is anything wrong with trying to find a cure for, so reading comprehension fail on your part, all I said is that if you kill yourself because you're bald, you're a moron. Still stand by that.

If you're going to kill yourself over some genetic trait that you have no control over then you're a moron and should get over it.

If your biggest problem, is that you're going bald \ are bald, then you have a pretty damn good life, and I shave my head because I'm going bald, so think I can offer an opinion on the matter.
