The amount of illegal searches done by the NSA is well, well under 1%. Keep that in mind when you are looking at a list that only contains the wrong doing.
the NSA has done over a 100,000,000 million legal searches. From all the leaked records, 22,000 are questionable. Those 22,000 lie everywhere between needing a judicial interpretation, to blatant breech. The leaks also show NSA's number one whistle blower to the courts is the NSA. They report them and correct them.
Not to excuse there blatantly illegal searches, but to thing the whole system is some corrupt entity that s out to get everyone is simply wrong. No evidences supports that at all.we have a lot of hope becasue none of the evidences shows it to be nearly as bad as the media claims. And certainly nowhere near where the chicken littles on/. claim.
"Policies need to be judged by their results in aggregate." and the vast majority of patents are not abusive in any way, and they ahve lead to a lot of innovation.
Edison hired a lot of people to do a lot of innovative and ground breaking work specifically so he could make money. I have been able to use money from my invention to do more work.
So, in my experience and reading they are , overall, good.
Except they weren't a troll. The court is wrong here. I should be able to charge whatever I want to license the patents I own.
In fact 'patent troll' is really relevant and doesn't make sense for the vast majority of cases the invoke it. It's a scare term to get people who have no clue about patents to get on the anti-patent bandwagon.
It was wrong in 1990, and it's wrong now. It makes nothing but logically fallacious arguments and scare terms.
example: "Fact–Not one patent in one hundred will ever show any positive cash flow" So the fuck what? I patent something and couldn't market it, or the market didn't want therefore patents are bad? WTF?
Grow up. Without patents corporation will just take what they want and the inventor will have no leverage. The answer to a system that has some flaws isn't to get rid of the system, it' to improve the system,.
People like you who couldn't invent there way out of a paper bag only want to get your dodads cheaper and don't give a shit about the people who spend money time and effort creating. Frankly. you are ignorant and mean.
Full disclosure: I am an inventor that has made money becasue I could protect myself with patents.
Radical Islam wants to take over the world. I say that without hyperbole. Here are some quotes from Omar Bakri Muhammad. Google can help you find similar quotes from every radical Islam cleric. These quotes are also backed by action taken from Radical Muslim peoples. Although I think that they should just be called 'religious nut jobs' and not give them the satisfaction of hearing the religion in the news.
"We don't make a distinction between civilians and non-civilians, innocents and non-innocents. Only between Muslims and unbelievers. And the life of an unbeliever has no value. It has no sanctity."
"Muslim is (a person) who submits to God, who disapprove of man-made laws."
All Jews, Hindus, and Sikhs are Kafirs (disbelievers) in Islam, all non-Muslims are guilty of not accepting the Message of Muhammad (Salah allahu alayhi wa sallem)."
"When Islam enters a territory, that state turns into an Islamic state. It's our duty to liberate them”. When asked about the European states that are considered Islamic, he said: “Spain, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia and Bosnia are all Islamic countries”
"We don't make a distinction between civilians and non-civilians, innocents and non-innocents. Only between Muslims and unbelievers. And the life of an unbeliever has no value. It has no sanctity." - Omar Bakri Muhammad Similar things have been said be every radical Muslim cleric.
It's a global problem. SO, do we wait until the have co-opted several governments before taking action? cause that are coming for you, and for me, and for anyone who doesn't have the same radical beliefs.
Just to be clear, he considers Muslims who won't kill the their religion also unbelievers. We have a group of psychopaths gathering power via religious beliefs with the express intent of killing everyone who doesn't think like them.
Also, I post this for the people who might be reading along, you have lost al ability to think rationally; evidences by your ad homs
"If there is a Creator of life, then we would expect to see the blueprints used for more than one construction site" I could put together an argument that says the exact opposite.
"Alternatively, however, if we are all actors in a play that no one wrote, then randomness would be expected to create more genetic diversity." Only if you are clueless about evolutionary theory.

And thus explaining to the world you are a paranoid person who would let is paranoia prevent him from sharing art.
You should see someone about that.

Nope. But go on with your lunacy.
all the leaked evidence suggests otherwise.
"Policies need to be judged by their results in aggregate."

That doesn't mean they can't be better.
The cowardly shut their doors; which was something they were probably looking to do and it provided a clear evil group to blame.
Frankly, they could just have turned off their mail servers, deleted their archive and still been able to do their work.
The just meas MS needs to come up with a different way to do it.
Except they weren't a troll. The court is wrong here. I should be able to charge whatever I want to license the patents I own.

" In neither law nor philosophy "
he said in a discussion about the patent law.
And there is plenty philosophy around control of distribution.
Based on your first sentence, clearly you are ignorant of the whole thing.
so, shut up.
"Capitalism has existed without patents in the past"
yes, but might took what they wanted to produce the good for profit.
". Capitalism has existed without patents in the past"
not in the US.
It was wrong in 1990, and it's wrong now.
It makes nothing but logically fallacious arguments and scare terms.
example:
"Fact–Not one patent in one hundred will ever show any
positive cash flow"
So the fuck what? I patent something and couldn't market it, or the market didn't want therefore patents are bad?
WTF?
Grow up.

They can compete if the put big tariffs on countries that don't have at least our federal minimum wage and safety.
Hell, there are slowly loosing the outsourcing edge due to increased energy prices anyways.
Don't be fooled, even in all the labor was local, they would still replace it with machines.
They are more reliable and substantial cheaper.
That was true until about 50 years ago.
No, it defends the last 1/3 while ignoring the rest of the sentences. Someone should teach them how to read a 18th century sentence splice.
The NRA continues to be a bunch of paranoid loons.
Good question, and here is the answer:

These quotes are also backed by action taken from Radical Muslim peoples. Although I think that they should just be called 'religious nut jobs' and not give them the satisfaction of hearing the religion in the news.

Obomber?
Thanks for highlighting the fact you have stopped thinking in any meaningful way.

bah! The Libyans can't even drive a VW van and shoot a rocket launcher without running into a photo-mat.
" devolved and evolved to all the animals.."
Should be:
"evolved to all the animals.."
devolved?, sheesh.
"If there is a Creator of life, then we would expect to see the blueprints used for more than one construction site"
I could put together an argument that says the exact opposite.
"Alternatively, however, if we are all actors in a play that no one wrote, then randomness would be expected to create more genetic diversity."
Only if you are clueless about evolutionary theory.
Escherichia coli can transfer as many as 20% of it's 5000 or so genes.
Do you have any reason besides pulling it out of your ass for the reasoning behind you post?
you mean 'predicted', then yes.
