Really, you read that wikileaks asked the pentagon for help redacting sensitive info and the pentagon ignored the request. You read that wikileaks then redacted information voluntarily themselves ?
and from that you take wikileaks as the negligent ones??? really?
Incorrect unless you happen to be a fully qualified and practising patent laywer yourself with lots and lots of free time on your hands.
The European Patent Office estimated in 2005 that the average cost of obtaining a European patent (via a Euro-direct application, i.e. not based on a PCT application) and maintaining the patent for a 10 year term was around 32 000 Euro.
under the US system inventorspot claims that it can cost 10,000 to 15,000 to get to the point where you own a proper patent. (distinct from just a Provisional Application for Patent which some ads for law firms claim can come in a little under 2,000 though for computer related inventions and software it's more).
On your point 4. This is the pentagons fuckup, wikileaks was willing to take help redacting sensitive info but the pentagon ignored them and merely tried to shut them up entirely.
Wikileaks did redact quite a lot of info on it's own anyway.
"Assange says that they subsequently responded to a White House request in advance, passed back via the New York Times, to redact informant material. They asked the Pentagon for assistance, but got no response. As a result, he says, WikiLeaks did their best with their own resources."
so they did act responsibly. If anything it was the pentagon being irresponsible. people keep talking about how while wikileaks did redact stuff they wouldn't know enough to redact it effectively enough. Meanwhile the groups who could have done that ignored them or just tried to shut them up completely.

Translation: Patent obvious but potentially time consuming extensions to existing apps that the small developers are probably already working on so that we they can charge them extra money when version 2 comes out.
real useful.
Out of interest isn't there supposed to be some kind of requirement that those applying for patents have some kind of working prototype or example of what they're patenting? You know, to prove that they've done some actual work to implement the idea rather than sitting with their thumbs up their arses and plucking random ideas out of the air?
"So you see, Apple users can easily admit when Apple is doing something wrong, and in fact even correct you about why it is wrong - because we are thinking more rationally about the real problem, and not just about how much we hate Apple and hey here's an awesome negative article on something Apple is doing.
Contrast this to people such as yourself, who are pathologically incapable of admitting when Apple does something good."
No offense but that comes across as the most stunningly arrogant statement in this entire thread.
I don't really give a crap about apple-I'd merely consider their actions from TFA to be dishonest and probably not illegal but my god, how full of yourself are you????
Even a very good looking guy can behave in such a shitty manner that you'd no longer consider banging him. It might be getting to that point here. Apple may be getting too skanky to fuck.
Some small company does all the actual work. Builds in as much functionality as they can in reasonable time. Leave a few obvious but hard to implement ideas for version 2 . Create a useful app and submit it to the app store.
Then some lazy jerkoff with a legal department behind him spends 5 minutes playing "what would it be cool to have this also do" and before the small guys can release version 2 the bigger company patents most of the version 2 functions.
Now despite them doing nothing useful whatsoever you have to pay them for the privalige of releasing a better app.
I was thinking more along the lines of a few years on. I know myself I could never competently teach a foreign language at any level. I could incompetently teach a foreign language but that's about it.
In any case as they get older the benefits vs costs do change. Almost anyone motivated should be able to teach primary level material but learning from someone who's specialised is preferable once well into the teens - along with the natural drift towards independence from your parents that's part of the teenage years anyway of course.
"It is a common misconception that homeschooling is about avoiding outside knowledge. It simply isn't true. "
In the case of parents who do it for the right reasons like you, sure, but there really are also parents who genuinely do want to isolate their children to avoid them being influenced by people who are not into *insert crazy religion here*.
Anyway, I bow to your effort and dedication to making sure your child becomes a capable human being.
In comparison in my highschool despite having many labs full of really nice little modern machines they taught nothing but the ECDL(read:Bullshit, nothing but microsoft spreadsheets)
To be fair to him the "computer teacher" wanted to learn but he was only one lesson ahead of the students. I remember explaining things like the DNS system to him.
Heaven forbid they teach even a scrap of programming.
people, both students and teachers have come to consider "Computers" to mean excel spreadsheets and Microsoft word. It would have been cool if they'd taught even the most basic scripting.
The internet seems to be going down the shitter now that all the politicians kids are using it and those in power have started thinking internet==facebook.
So what's the next communication medium that the government has so little understanding of that they don't even think about regulating it?
Darknets are halfway there but they'll probably be outlawed in a few years.
Trademark law can get pretty ridiculous Example: some US company trademarked the term "sugercraft" somehow despite it being a commonly used term for an entire profession (imagine if some company trademarked "programming") and sends similar letters to companies which use the term.
Correction:"the guy who buys water bottles in one spot and tries to sell them dearer in the same spot"
The guy who moves them around performs some kind of service. It just means that the person selling gets a worse price that they would have otherwise(though possibly sooner) and the person buying gets a worse price.
since when can children consent to having nude pictures of themselves taken?
As for adults that might work for airports(if you consider flying to be a choice and such systems do not also get used at bus and rail terminals)since when do people get a choice about going to court?
It would still be fun if the archive got leaked and we got to see a political cage match between those who see terrorists everywhere and the people who spend all their time thinking about the children.

He's not american. patriotism generally doesn't apply when you're not a citizen of the country in question and don't live there. If anything your loyalty would be to your own country.
If I publish classified chinese tank designs am I being unpatriotic? Likewise I have no duty to protect Chinas national security.
get this through your head: there is a world beyond america, we are not all american citizens.
If I remember right after 9/11 the US wanted them to hand over some of their citizens. They responded with something along the lines of "On what evidence?"
and so the US went in and blew the shit out of the place.
It's iraq that had no meaningful connection to 9/11. Afghanistan at least was involved somehow.
I'm impressed by any 6 year old who can multiply by Pi in their head and any parent who has the time to spend enough hours a day teaching but homeschooling does have a few drawbacks.
The homeschooled child of a mathematician will most likely end up with great math skills and the homeschooled child of a novelist will probably end up with great language skills but what about subjects which the parents themselves are not skilled in (or worse, think they're skilled in but aren't)?
As Heinlein put it "Specialization is for insects."
Do you arranged for others to give your children lessons in things which you yourself are not proficient in or what?
I just respond to hopelessly naive posts a lot, I didn't even notice how many had your name attached.
Exactly how well hid trying to follow your lovely little theoretical approach work after other embarrassing incidents?
How many secretaies, how many clerks, how many officers etc would have seen classified material about Mai Lai? and did precisely nothing?
How many officers were sent to prison for shitting all over your lovely little theoretical model?
Hell the only reason anything happened at all was that someone who had nothing at all to do with it heard second hand from other soldiers in a bar and wrote to every senior government official they could think of( almost all of whom completely ignored the letters) and some of those officials gave up on your naive little idea of keeping it all in the family and publicised it.
And worst of all because of the delays(great system you've got there) before any of it saw the light of day most of those involved were out of the military and immune to prosecution.
(side note-What the hell? Does this mean if a soldier gets drunk and drives his tank through a preschool as long as he can get his high ranking uncle to keep it under wraps long enough for him to be discharged then he's home free? or has this been changed since?)

For reference:
http://www.ipwatchdog.com/patent/patent-cost/
The figure this guy gives is $12,000 to $15,000.
So no.
A small company would most certainly have trouble paying 15 grand for a patent.
Your claim of 500 is pure and unadulterated bullshit.

"Most of that is used to blow up party balloons."

party balloons could come under "pressurizing and purging" or "other" but the vast majority is used in cryogenics, welding or controlled atmospheres.

Example: some US company trademarked the term "sugercraft" somehow despite it being a commonly used term for an entire profession (imagine if some company trademarked "programming") and sends similar letters to companies which use the term.
I mean how do you manage to trademark the term for an industry? One which is already in the dictionary as a generic term?

Has it gotten to the point where refusing one of these is considered probable cause for a traditional strip search yet?
