The source of the virus reminds me of the Black Swan theory by Nicholas Taleb. A Black Swan is defined as an event which is unpredictable but once it breaks out its consequences are massive.
Experts say up to 30 million people could die if a pandemic breaks out. The economic loss is massive. People fear to go out, buy less and the economy collapses. People order food supplies from home and spray the bags before they take them inside. All life moves online because the virus can't yet transmit through the PC no matter how many peer to peer connections are open or illegal downloads are made. But what if the virus is that of a Black Swan, what if it mutates and starts spreading over the internet all of a sudden? What do you do Then?? Why are you still reading this? |

If they don't already make it they should. I didn't see the idea on the web yet. What about band-aids with neosporin already applied on the middle padded part? Help cuts heal fast! |

Tell me that you never lied in your life and there I know that you just did. We all use lies, be they black or white, sweet or sour! In order to lie you have to know first what it is you must lie about and then reverse it or deny it... |

H. Clinton and Obama are advocating more requirements to own/provide health insurance. As a teacher, public healthcare seems very reasonable and humane... |

Why aren't there more plugs in airports to power your laptop longer while you wait for your flight? What's the point of offering wireless internet service everywhere in an airport when there aren't enough plugs around to power it longer?
This is bad business for companies that offer wireless internet service in airports... |
