  1. Re:More cost effective to buy law makers on Apple Ordered To Pay $8M For Playlist Patents · · Score: 1

    Instead of wasting silly amounts of money on licences, legal fees and patent portfolios wouldn't it be more cost effective to lobby the law makers to change patent law to mean software couldn't be patented?

    Wouldn't that be the fiscal duty of CEOs to do so?

    Coalition for Patent Fairness members include Adobe, Apple, Cisco, Dell, Google, Intel, Intuit, Micron, Oracle, RIM, SAP, and Symantec.

    That coalition has no such goal, according to their website. They just want the system to favor them.

    The article may have been summerised before posting in the summer, but the Slashdot poster summarized it.

    The Googlefu is clearly not with the poster.

    Name.com shows quite prominently in the first page of results.

  10. Re:punctuation! on FBI Wiretapped Hemingway · · Score: 1, Informative

    In addition to all the properly placed commas, there are several periods. As such, it is not "one freaking long sentence".

  11. Re:"Propellors"? on Airplanes Cause Accidental Cloud Seeding · · Score: 1

    Yes, I did miss that in the first sentence, because it ain't there. If you're going to quote, then put the words in the right order.
    The article writer clearly didn't know much about aircraft when they put jetliners and propellers next to each other, so I'm ignoring those words and just going with "aircraft". As such, whether this phenomenon is caused by only jets or only props or both is entirely up to speculation, until somebody links to an article on the phenomenon written by somebody who has a clue about aircraft.

  12. Re:"Propellors"? on Airplanes Cause Accidental Cloud Seeding · · Score: 1

    Did you miss that first sentence of the summary where it clearly said " private and commercial"?

    Most morons know the difference between a build and a bulb. You have to give the morons some credit for not being a moron like yourself.

    They're those things that spin around on a motor. They're quite useful, because they behave differently than jet engines in certain conditions.

    Ingenious has no prefix, nor does insightful, because they are not modifying genius or sight. They are ingenuity and insight. One of them does have a suffix, though...

    Did you mean nowhere on the planet would be habitable, or everywhere on the planet would be inhabitable? "in-" is a negative prefix.
