No. He invented (and patented) one particular version of the light bulb that had commercial advantages.
Did Morse invent the telegraph? (yes, the morse code guy) No, he invented a particular version that had commercial advantages. (incidentally, he later added a patent claim to cover any kind of telegraph - this claim was thrown out)
Sure, it won't be as good as getting a patent attorney to do the whole thing, but one option is to do it as well as you can alone, and then run it past the patent attorney. Probably looking at around $500.
Note also you can file a provisional patent for a very low fee (in Australia, it's $80), and then shop it around/commercialize it for a year, before having to file an actual patent. Of course, the provisional has to cover the invention fully (you can't add new stuff later), so it still takes a lot of care.
yes, you're right. Also, it's surely compressed, and random noise will reduce the compressed size.
However, I think only a little noise would be necessary. Eg. +1 or -1 brightness, on one pixel per screen.
Hmmm... or maybe just different compression parameters? This changes the artifacts introduced into the video, and so the uncompressed video would look slightly different.
I read it as intention (that's the sword vs. shield part).
You could have tiny market, brand name etc. ie. Something rather than absolutely nothing. And then your motivation is protection (ie. a shield).
Merk wasn't trying to protect it.
So the Ministry can detect when and where a certain word is said throughout the whole country? Why didn't they use it before... Detection of underage use of magic. Similar was available and used.
If she insisted on doing an to destroy any future books, couldn't she have at least mentioned what happened to the other characters... The epilogue is to show Harry has a family, completing his journey.
now there are tips for "making sure the Alt key works right"

I didn't articulate it, but I meant that Overture's business model got killed (ie, of listing paid results only, by position - with no search results at all).
I believe that Yahoo now uses Overture's technology in the same business model as Google (ie, paid-by-position results alongside pure search results).
Interestingly, "paid results alone" may be superior to "search + paid results" for a phone service - ie, Overture's business model may be revived here.

"free of charge..." to users
It's the "Yellow Pages" business model: paid ads, free to users. Bigger ads cost more.
The "biggest" ad is the one heard first. Adwords-like pricing (ie bid-for-placement). It's harder to skim audio than text, so ranking might be even more valuable in this medium...
No need for "pure" search results, since users seek by known-categories, for a commercial service. Just like Overture, before they got killed by Google.

That's so... fair.
The only problem I see is if you have to deal with reality at some point. Otherwise, Family Feud sports sounds very nice and solipsistic.

Did you look at "Patent It Yourself"?

eg. in a gimp plug-in.
But yes, it will reduce it. By how much?
I don't know. Maybe a lot.
see? *sigh*
Using it as "a shield to protect its right to exclude" is arguably what MercExchange was doing.

If pharmaceuticals profits only account for 2/3 of patent revenue... there's a LOT left over.

"ads everywhere" - but at least AdWords are unobtrusive and targetted. (cf: billboards and product-placements are worse)
ICANN has no motivation to refuse the money anyway.
PS: it sucks to lose a domain name. I almost lost mine. It was through my own mistake, but that wasn't exactly... um... reassuring at the time.
