1 million brain farts in 5 years, world economy is in the crapper, the rich are richer, the poor are poorer, and the guy in the middle is bent over even more (without any lube). So we must conclude that more patents means being worse off for the majority of humanity. Something be wrong here people...
Bullshit. The iPhone has a proximity sensor. Whenever you are on the phone, i.e. its up to your face, the screen and UI turns off. It's impossible to hit the mute button. She's just being a cunt.
Did the Gnome guys take over Mozilla or something?
In case you haven't noticed, those making decisions these days, be it government (politics), big business, or software development, have all gotten serious cases of dumbtarditis.
Humanity has to limit the explosive population growth and the raping of the planet's finite resources -- if it wants to survive past the end of this century.
Hubble was enormously more expensive than it needed to be. For what we spent trying to shoehorn it into the Shuttle program (the most outrageously expensive and dangerous launch vehicle ever developed) we could have built and launched a whole series of Hubble Telescopes.
And launched a whole series of Hubble telescopes with what? Giant rubber band sling shots?
The CRTC is staffed by ex-Bell and ex-Rogers people. Sort of like the many of the current US gooberment positions are staffed by ex-Wall street arseholes.

It is a flat screen with icons. No, you didn't think it up first.
But they where the first to do it in such a way that they're making massively huge butt loads of money.
So everyone else copies them in an attempt to cash in on their success.
Welcome to capitalism. And lawyers and all the other nonsense that comes with it...
1 million patents took only about 5 years

I call BS. You don't need much skill or talent in writing code that effectively does this in the end:
It's creating a database for everybody in this country for a lot of other purposes.
"Heil GOP!" somehow comes to mind right about now... :|
"The only competence of any government appears to be the ability to endlessly piss away taxpayer money." - me
this seems more like incompetence and hamfistedness than evil
In other words, Google being Google.
What does that make me?

I recall using 'instant messaging' on a network on VAX/VMS back in the '80s...

I'm still using FF3.6 you insensitive clod!
Look at OS X for proof.
And iOS since they share about 80% of their code base...
Welcome to the GoogleDome.

why do I want Windows 8?
Because Microsoft wants your hard earned shekels, pesos and dinars.
Taking stock of the 30 years of the shuttle program...how else these dollars could have been used...
The cost of the shuttle program over 30 years ($196 billion - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_program) could have funded 0.163 wars in Iraq and Bumfuckistan ($1,218 billion - http://costofwar.com/en/). A much worthier cause, killing brown people, no?
There is not much we have benefited.
You must be a card carrying Republicantard, or at least, a bible humper.
