Nonsense. I get most of my news coverage from blogs and Google news. When I hit a news paywall I hit the back button and update my settings to ignore that news source. That means that they've lost me forever, along with any ad revenues they might have gained.
So in my view, rather than google having nothing, it's the newspapers that have nothing without google.
Chiropractors make a series of claims - they should be able to back them up with scientific studies, and they can't/won't. Seriously though, with the metaphysical babble that the treatments are based on, and the requirement to actually produce evidence, I can't see that ever happening.
There is apparently a consensus that Chiropractic treatment of lower back pain may assist in relieving lower back pain (such as you describe), but there is no such consensus for any other Chiropractic treatments.
So IMO, beyond treatments for lower back pain, they should either back up their claims, or STFU.
Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.
Why make movies a different price? You can do 2.1 billion items of hurt if everything sells for a cent each, or even more if you sell in the lowest value currency - they could piss the US off both ways if they sell in Iranian Rials.
I wonder if the $21m is for actual sales, or for profits? It it's for profit, they could use Hollywood accounting to keep selling stuff forever.
From the report:
The high-tech sector is defined here as the group of industries with very high shares of technology oriented
workers—those in the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering and math. This definition includes a
set of industries in what is traditionally thought of as high-tech—manufacturing and services in computers,
advanced communications and electronics—as well as the medical and aerospace manufacturing,
engineering services, and scientific research and development industries (see Appendix 1).
There's also the point that most connections come with 'fair usage' limits over 30 days - If you use connection at maximum speed, what are you going to do for the next 29 days?

On the post: Why It Could Make Sense To Get Rid Of Patents Entirely, Even If They Work In A Few Cases
Re: Re: Re:
Sure you can:
Asserting a patent against another
An animal chew
Exercising your cat with a laser pointer, which is so original and inventive, it has been patented several times already.
Fixing a hole in a wall
Swinging sideways on a swing (can I claim prior art on this? Can't say I've documented it, but I'd certainly done this during my childhood).
It appears that the only thing required to get a patent is money (for the application, and the lawyer to write it).
