    I'm assuming that you're in a country that has some type of free speech protection for its citizens.

    You can't be sure that you'll get taken away for speaking out. You've been reading too many dystopian stories. And even if it were the case that people are incarcerated for speaking out, the more people you get to do it, the more it clogs up the machine trying to make you vanish. Saftey in numbers!

    He turned on the tensor beside the Hosaka. The crisp circle of light fell directly on the Flatline's construct. He slotted some ice, connected the construct, and jacked in. It was exactly the sensation of someone reading over his
    shoulder.
    He coughed. "Dix? McCoy? That you man?" His throat was tight.
    "Hey, bro," said a directionless voice.
    "It's Case, man. Remember?"
    "Miami, joeboy, quick study."
    "What's the last thing you remember before I spoke to you, Dix?"
    "Nothin'."
    "Hang on." He disconnected the construct. The presence was gone. He reconnected it. "Dix? Who am I?"

  24. Re:The USPTO is Moderately Broken on USPTO Issues Email Address Patent to Microsoft · · Score: 2, Informative

    The problem is, software patents fall under the "buisness process" paents. This type of patent has only been around for about 20 years or so. Now, in the search for prior art, Standard Operating Procedure is just looking at older patents and seeing if any of them conflict. They don't really do an outward search on the technology. The bigger problem comes with the fact that very few patents have been filed in this field, so the pool of "prior art" is very shallow.

    And just to let you know, this is the truth. I had to do a research paper on it, so I'm very familiar with the workings / problems.

  25. Re:What Science Really is... on Kansas Challenges Definition of Science · · Score: 1

    Well, considering that that passage came from John, I don't tend to give it as much merit.

    "John" was the last gospel to be written, and the author was referred to as the "Beloved Disciple." It's no wonder there are passages like this that say Jesus is the only way. The author has a more vested interest in pushing belief in the religion than someone like Mark, who has the least "spiritual" explinations for the teachings and presents them so people without a lot of faith can learn from them.
