Well, that's because they need to build additional pylons first to support them.
Megaupload Raid Declared Illegal I swear this article stirs up some feelings of de ja vu, or am I just finally becoming psychic. Anyways that some egg on face worthy material there. I've heard that the police and FBI were none to gentle on the raids so if they are ordered to restore Megaupload, I wonder how much there will be or if they have 'lost' some. Would that be grounds for a civil suit from the innocent folks (the for real ones) that used Megaupload's services, if their stuff was lost because of an illegal search?

my best estimate is 3/5th of megauploads are pr0nz! MegaUpload pre-FBI raid..... simply the BEST free DDL service with the fastest free download speeds at 2.6 Mbps! |

Heck, the protest rallies' common slogan from reports are "No nukes" and there's another one coming up next week. |

And technology? Nowadays, you need countless man hours of highly educated people to make a new gizmo. Sure, governments fund a lot of fundamental research, but there's already not enough money for everyone. And you want them to fund the next iPhone, too? |

Malkuth, your problem with this... fantasy world you envision, is you raise concerns of a problem but offers no solid solutions.
None of your ideas hold any realistic value, and you're simply expecting humanity to be enlightended. Ain't happenin' bro. It's like crying about capitalism, but criticize socialism, cry foul of human greed, yet have nothing to offer in exchange. Complaining is so much easier than actual innovating, and innovation is exactly what the current subject is.

Software's a strange animal in that it's not only possible but common to make money just by tailoring existing work precisely to the need of a particular client. And in that a lot of the innovation can be done quite cheaply, by hobbyists. Quote:
- no research. - if and where they can get away with it, companies will just keep their formulas and processes secret. It's sad that people are dying, but get real: if there was no money in it, almost nobody would get into pharmaceutical research. Nobody would build the expensive machinery that's necessary for it. Nobody would pay for the animals or people new drugs are tested on. Sure, there'll still be money in drug making. And yes, the prices of some drugs (those that aren't already in the public domain) would plummet. But the actual research? It'd grind to halt. Quote:

It will also destroy the major incentive for investing (you know, spend money up front and risk having it not pan out...) on, basically, being the first to make something different. Bragging rights are all very nice, but they don't pay the bills. Especially when the other guy has a bigger advertising budget and can just rewrite history. Quote:
