Real bargain in my eyes compared to all the court costs and wasted time with companies fighting each other rather than competing to producing new and better products. In a fight like this nobody wins but the lawyers. Pay the PTO examiners $500k Pay them $1M, attract the best and brightest possible. Allow a PTO examiner to build a team of researchers with their income, or do it 100% themselves. Hold them accountable for their work. I don't think it's too much to ask.
No mater what we define gamer as, I'm pretty sure that this marketing evaluation labels gamer as "One who buys games" and not caring in the least about how they play them.
I drive on the freeway every day to work. So does that mean that the free was is the best way to get to work? It must be since I use it every day.
No, the most optimal route to work would be a direct road going straight from my drive way to the parking lot at work. This road doesn't exist yet I want to drive to work so I take the freeway.
A company can only be corrupt as much as it's customers let them. For real corruption it requires a government that can extort from it's customers(citizens) by the point of a gun in order to stay in business(control) A company still has to provide something people want. A government just has to threaten something people don't want.
Funny thing is, as a customer, I pay what I want to pay and not a penny more. If their service costs to much I will switch to T-Moble or AT&T. There service sucks? Perhaps Verizon's higher price is worth it. Perhaps I should just go back to a land line. Just because the produce cell phones, doesn't mean they should be required to provide cell phones.
you seem to speak with things like "any privileges" or "explicit permission" where, if it was for the good of the people these things could be flexed a bit.
You seem to hold the antiquated ideal of rule of law. Laws aren't made as inflexible as you seem to portray any more. There are many rules that can be flexed and others that can be out right broken without consequence. You just have to know the right people and have the right friends in government.
I don't see that as a problem. If you feel your work is done, stand by it. If it's not done then don't sign off on it. Trying to blame your incompetence on something else is a lazy way out.
While the brick and mortar of the house hasn't changed there are factors of its value that has.
Loans have been guaranteed by the government and people started buying lots of houses: Yesterday it was worth 375,000 dollars. Those people defaulted on their loans, houses get mass repossessed and dumped back on the market (suddenly there are 10 times more houses than there are people to buy them) Today it was sold for 225,000 dollars. oil and a large vein of gold are discovered under the house and mineral rights were maintained on the title: Tomorrow it is worth 1 million dollars. Or more likely one of two: 1. New freeway goes in. Mall built within 3 miles. several businesses pop up and a new factory not far away. Tomorrow it is worth 400,000 2. Taxes are hiked on local business "rich people." New regulation put on local factory. Minimum wage is increased, employment goes down. Welfare is introduced: Tomorrow it is worth 125,000
Large piles of money don't shelter you from rain, they taste horrible, and provide no luxary what so ever until they are exchanged for products and services to people looking to capitalize on their ability to provide them.
Better yet, make the PTO put some skin in the game. If a patent is denied in court due to prior art or not being novel or some other useless reason, every PTO person that signed off on it gets fired. Then allow anything and everything to be panted all people want.
We are giving a group of people a monopoly on force and violence to prevent illegitimate force and violence. So, Yes,there job should be very well defined and limited in scope.

Yes, like the days before the abomination that is income tax. I think they were called bond sales though.
They don't have a very good track record of fixing the things you mention. Perhaps not being able to do them would be much better off.
Math, Cryptography, Economics???
All nerd based things wrapped into one item.
That would only make sense if half of all clothes wearers were men........ohhh now i get it.
Perhaps he was just verbing a noun?

My, nearly, car analogy:

there are large piles of regulation and auditing that counter exactly what you are saying. HIPPA PCI SOX FIPS and many others just to start you off.

Except Apple says apple fanboi.
haha, stupid things like freedom of interaction.
but then you'll qualify for medicaid to treat the cancer.
win-win situation.

What is this head^Hgirl of which you seek?
Again, not a problem. If you can't satisfy the job requirement you shouldn't be doing it.
you seem to speak with things like "any privileges" or "explicit permission" where, if it was for the good of the people these things could be flexed a bit.

You can't build new plants, you can't fix current plants, you have to continue to provide power to people.
I don't care how you do it, just do it.

Is that only total employees or just ones not specifically outlined in the constitution?
