Because it's less hazardous for future space missions to clear them out of orbit while we still can, rather than having to track new orbiting material.
And patents require that you show how you did it. Essentially, that setup would force all software source code into the public domain after seventeen years. Software is also much more similar to machinery than, say, artwork, as well.
Where I live, the annual rainfall is entirely dependent upon having a couple of hurricane remnants pass by us. If the hurricane season doesn't turn up anything, we've got a drought.
Solution: Throw some more money at the polywell design team.
3cent/kW energy with no environment impact or safety concerns, with boron and hydrogen as fuels. Throw enough energy at a problem, and anything becomes solvable.
But he didn't beat up bad guys. He teleported them into off-limits areas where the game took them out. He isn't credited with the XP, and the other players lose XP. He's just being a massive dick.
Aren't heroes supposed to, you know, show honor, fair play, and all that jazz?
Actually, Pepsi and Coke know each other's formulas. Have since the early nineteen hundreds. There's nothing really secret about the formula, it's just that people who prefer one to the other are already entrenched with marketing, and there isn't any incentive to switch brands on something that is exactly identical. As long as they've got slightly different tastes, they don't have to get into a price war.
Oh, and the KFC "secret blend of eleven herbs and spices"? All marketing. All that they really use is flour, salt, and MSG.

Oh, we definitely landed on the moon, just not when NASA claimed.
Apollo 13 was the only mission to actually get there.

They already banned photography.
If everyone went on low carbs, the meat packaging industry would benefit significantly.

It's a myth that eating too much sugar causes diabetes.

Duration. Software is rarely useful after 17 years.
Their keyboards are selling for about twenty bucks or so.

Here's where I disagree with Knuth - I believe all software should be patentable.
But not copyrightable.

Well, we can convert distances into time intervals via relativity...
To nobody's surprise, the conversion factor is a well known physics constant. c.
So a year is exactly one light-year wide.
So, monkeys turn their heads if, in a string of patterns, an entity is repeated.

Not related to suffixes or prefixes at all.
Err... additional percentage. Like, 100% makes you have half the inertial mass, so you get twice the change in momentum. Something along those lines.
I think the percentage is what your mass is being divided by.
I'm impressed. Whoever screwed up and forgot to order indelible dyes for the billboards is going to end up with a promotion instead.

People who get their lens replaced can see into the near UV. Apparently the new material doesn't filter out some frequencies.

That's also been done for a while.
Human cancer cells can survive outside the body. They act rather differently.
That would be the '80s. Unless you're talking about the actual 80s. Good years, those. Man, was opening night at the Colosseum fun.
I have this thing about disliking games with time limits.
It's like playing one of those stupid autoscrolling platformer levels. Let me play at my own pace, darnit.
