I read somewhere that a cure for cancer has probably existed for a long time, but this disease is simply one of the best businesses in the world and within the lobby of pharmaceutical companies it is doomed to remain locked in a drawer somewhere. Perhaps it is also for the reason that our planet is overpopulated more slowly. But Paul G.

Anyway, honor to his memory and I will play (for about the hundredth time) my favorite movie Pirates of Silicon Valley in his honor.
