If the incarcerated gamers switch from playing D&D to playing Call of Cthulu, do you suppose that they could be so hardcore CoC as to make a religious freedom claim?
I've been using PC-based hardware since 1995, and on my fifth computer I've had three capacitors bulge and leak. Granted, they were all on the same mother board, but that's 20% failure rate. The previous four were either obsoleted, cannibalized, or given away.
James and Marguerite together decided that James should open a Utah solo practice law firm right after James passed the Utah Bar and became a Utah Attorney. Later that year, Driessen Law began operating as a dba home licensed business in Lindon, Utah.
To keep your costs down and because Driessen Law is a small one attorney practice, we do not employ full time secretaries, legal assistants, or clerks. You will deal with us directly.
So, according to that chart, Robert E. Howard's Conan published Conan stories entered the public domain in 2006. (REH died in June, 1936.)
That's very interesting. I wonder if an author today could write new stories based in the Conan milieu an no longer be subject to paying royalties to the REH estate.
You know, this gives me an idea for the next Oscar award presentations. The next time some Hollywood windbag goes over his allotted time at the podium... Zzzzzzzap!
Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks who have their internet filtered by AT&T? This does not make sense!
The business plan then determines the basic term granted for that specific patent, and is limited by allowing the patentee to recoup costs and some percentage of profit above and beyond that (e.g. you spend $100K to develop the patent, and then you get to make $150K guaranteed by the granting of the patent).
Then if my company is a patent troll, then I'll pay myself $100M in deferred compensation and company stock options, to be recovered later.
With Stargate petering out, and BSG coming to an end, I wonder what RDM will do next? I'd kind of like to see what he could do with another franchise. Someone call Blizzard and check on that Starcraft IP.
I'm sorry, but we've already patented throwing up.
Patent 58574768
"A method for regurgitation, including the use of the water closet having a biological function therein, spewing from the mouth area for the purpose of vomiting, regurgitating the contents of the alimentary canal to eliminate the presence of the contents therein. The present invention also includes shitting."
I miss the old days when political hacks used to go on fishing trips the old fashioned way. They actually had to break into the offices of the other political party. Now they just write bogus subpoenas for their new-fangled fishing expeditions.

Just wait until China decides to purchase CBS.

That would probably be goatse, for one.
Only $750? Yeah, that amount is out of date. Isn't that about £7 or £8 in today's economy?
This sounds like an L. Ron Hubbard story.

Karl Rove is on the line. He wants to know if you'll take a check.
What's this article doing on Slashdot?
If I wanted to read meaningless political discussions, I'd go read KOS.

Some of the loudest hype has been for DRM, which is a major ongoing flop. It required US legislation (DMCA) just to artificially prolong the flop.
Well...
There is a school principal in Toronto who flung poo at a student.
