As others have said they don't need to register a trademark to enforce it. In any case Lucas owns multiple 'JEDI' trademarks (in addition to trademarks which contain the word 'JEDI').

AVG has been the master of false-positives for a while. Some legitimate application are picked up repeatedly as a different trojan/virus every several months.

Surely you just need to use a one-time pad to encrypt your message, then after the election .
When it comes to cryptography, when youbigger the prime numbers you have the harder it is to break the encryption.
I was thinking exactly the same thing. The whole "calculating thehot zone" method of catching the criminal was a main plot point of the pilot episode.
