Yep. Iran laughs each time we flex our Military Industrial Complex muscle because it costs us $1.8 trillion each time. They learned from Osama Bin Laden: death by a thousand cuts...or flexes. (Disclaimer: I made up $1.8 trillion, but whatever.)
if any lesson should be taken away from the Tea Party movement in the US, it's that...
...a small, obnoxious minority of people can be funded by two billionaires to do "grassroots" (racist, divisive, etc.) marketing for a movement designed to protect said billionaires. FTFY.
Welcome to the Corporate States of America! Our jurisdiction is worldwide and we have storm troopers and psychophants all over the universe! Property rights, "intellectual" or not, trump human rights by miles.
I would just shorten it to "the lawyers win". Innovation, competition, and the fair market lose. It's a nuclear arms race to acquire lawyers. What is this bubble? An over-litigious-society bubble? I hope it pops soon, though by then all the lawyers will have weaved golden parachutes or gotten jobs as lobbyists and politicians, right?
Meanwhile, some republicans have programmed their constituents to disparage welfare and unemployment recipients as lazy folks getting something for nothing. This distracts them from yet another example of how the masters of the universe went and hoarded all the prosperity we achieved. Go figure.
What are "BS votes"? Was my vote "BS"? Does "BS" stand for "Blacks & 'Spanics" (ba-dum dum)? There is little-to-no evidence of "BS Voting". It was concocted in order to manipulate people into more "us -vs- them" voting blocks. Fell for it, huh?
-1 Flaimbait?!?! It's merely a diagnosis of a potential treatable disease. He should see a doctor as should many money-hoarding, greedy, sociopathic politicians.
Fuck it - repost: OVERRATED!?!? Fuck off!!! Everyone and their grandma knows it's a constitutional republic...on paper. In reality-ville it's a damn oligarchy run by 5% of us. Don't tell me to read my history. I didn't tell you to open your eyes.

Amen. My first thought was that this article is FUD created by the paper industry.

They have the Taliban in their backyard. Their IT department has already developed a very effective "fire" wall...mainly just "fire": http://yro.slashdot.org/story/11/12/24/008227/taliban-seizes-and-burns-pcs-cell-phones-to-stop-obscenity
Pirates terrorize incompetent executives of corporations and organizations that use antiquated business models.

Surfin' in the CSA (Corporate States of America)! Yay!

Cops and criminals generally have the same psychological profile. Takes one to know one.
Ah, the Corporate States of America: it even outsources its storm trooping duties to the New Zealand police.

All I hear when an attorney talks about patents is, "but what about my yacht payments? My condo?!? My blahblabobloblaw$$$$$$$$...?!?!??"
...I'd suggest blaming yourself.
...and continue to vote republican. /ducks /flamebait

So one money sucking leech has attached itself to another money sucking leech?
It's more like a "Human Centipede" relationship.
Three words: "Military Industrial Complex". It's a headless beast now. Eisenhower warned us.

Like the subject says: Who is "Versign"? /first post please?!?!?!
He is a sociopath like most folks who seek power.
Your engineering textbooks contain all the equations, formula, and methodologies you need to learn to get a degree, so why do you go to class?
