I'm guessing it's the implementation of that technology that is patented.
You see, even if you disagree with IP in general, the term goes "build a better mouse trap". There are numerous patents on mouse traps, but it's the design and implementation of that new trap which gets it awarded a patent.
Looking around I found 4 three-ring binders which all have their own systems of opening and closing those rings. Just because it has been done before doesn't mean that you can do something like it again.
I don't think there is anything which isn't built on earlier works, nothing is new.
Interesting, we get HBO-On-Demand, Showtime on Demand and even Cinemax on Demand.
What is really cool is on demand movie rentals with "i-Control". Like the other 'on-demand' channels, you can fast forward and all that. Also you get movies for like 6 hours or 12... either way that is only 2 or 4 showings, not long enough IMHO.
But the HBO on demand is cool because they had (in the beginning, not anymore) the first two seasons of Sopranos and other series of theirs and a few good movies (I loved the comedy).
Seriously though what about shows like [In?] "Living Color"? That was a funny fucking show which showcased all their talents. They are a funny bunch, the Wayans Brothers show just had bad writing.
But having an online alias which stands in place of your true identity is a single point of failure.
For me to earn 'mod points' I would need to keep the same nick/alias. If I do that I'm leaving a solid, airtight case for the Secret Service or the FBI.
Basically putting my thumb print on the buddy glove. Sure, they find the glove - but it fits my hand, millions of times.
You think this is going to die quickly, but I don't think this will be the case.
BestBuy, HHGregg and the likes will sell these devices hard (mainly because of commissions) and many consumers will get screwed.
It's actually quite like the way they sell PCs now. "You can multi-task, surf the net, listen to your favorite music..." so on and so forth. But when you get the thing home you don't get some of those things or they are the same things people have been doing for years.
No, Muslims are Black Americans of the Moslem faith. Pronounced 99% the same yet they are not.
Thirdly, I'm not denying ANY American History, however the point is YOU have been categorizing ALL americans as responsible for slavery, and then went on to "clarify" yourself by saying ALL ancestors of today's "white america" are responsible.
I absolutely did not categorize all Americans as responsible for slavery. In fact more were against the institution of slavery than people believe. My points were that today's climate and today's "African-American Culture" is based on treatment that Blacks received after slavery and during the Civil Rights era until today. I mean, 30 to 40 years ago we were spraying them with fire hoses when they wanted to vote. Fucking Vote.
You are typical of today's America in which no one wants to take responsibility for your own life, and you look for excuses everywhere you can. The responsibility of the African American community to persue a better life for themselves and their children is SOLELY in their own hands and not in mine or anyone elses. In fact, we (the United States) offers the option of leaving the country if you don't like it. In my opinion, if you do not like it, GET OUT!
Get out. I love that one. Even though I hate calling you a racist because I don't really know you I can't help it. It's hilarious though that you believe we offer an option of leaving if you'd like too. This my friend is near impossible. But still, back to the subject.
We still live in a society with what you call "institutional racism". For example: the assistant chief of police in my city today was indicted on felony charges and faces 5 years for lying about what happened to his city vehicle. He's black. Two officers who strangled a suspect (which takes two minutes for death to occur) "on accident" were only charged with a misdermeanor even though the forensic evidence was clear that the man shouldn't have died unless they did this on purpose. The state even had someone testify to this fact. They were found guilty but only of misdermeanor charges because that is how it works.
The system is an impossible to beat - and leave the country? How?
"So people are just this biology experiment conducted by enlightened individuals like yourself. And it doesn't matter how many of the experimental animals lives are messed up, as long as you succeed with one that is immune to AIDS. And I'm the person to be hated?"
Well, you said you were an athiest... but you also don't believe in evolution now? What do you believe then? I'm not conducting the experiment life is, nature is.
Some birds live monogamous wives [sic]. I suppose this proves that the apes further away from us evolutionarily speaking, are about to grow wings and flutter away?
What? I know that birds in a lot of cases live monogamous lives. But my point was that those closest to us, the ones who also share our behaviors and quirks. And dumbass... apes aren't close to birds wtf.
You fall back on the lame excuse that people can't be any other way, so we should just "accept them for who they are".
No, I don't demonize someone because they caught a disease which also happens to be trasmitted sexually. Even someone who has only had sex once can get AIDS. That is all it takes. You could also get the flu if you don't wash your hands but I don't go around saying "These sick fucks deserve to die" like you do when you call AIDS victims sluts. Set aside Africa (you hate them, fine). Let's look at someone here who catches it their first time ever having sex; they are a slut?
white guilt
You know... the only people I know that use this term are the Klansmen who insist on threatening people on holidays. White guilt? No. We spend millions researching cultures which have been dead for thousands of years and we know that we should learn everything we can about everyone we can. There is no excuse to just destroy a whole culture because you think they are not worthy. You are not the one who decides who get's the axe. The fact that you laugh at indigenous and tribal peoples customs shows your ignorance and -centricism.
Even within Africa, there are cultures that deserve to be helped, to be encouraged. Most of those are now gone. Not that we necessarily destroyed them, but we should have been there. Atrocities that never even made the fucking news over here. Genocide that regularly makes the top of the charts throughout all history, and we simply ignore it. Hell, in some of these cultures, violence was unknown. Where were you then?
Even within Africa? Even? Once again who are you? We have destroyed cultures because of sprawl and greed, that is sick. We did ignore atrocities, but not I. When those people were killed in Rwanda for example all people like you said was "clean up these dead niggers". To me, you see, it's not Africa but it's also South America, America 400+ years ago, Europe before the Christians... almost all of Asia as well. It's not "white guilt" (a term used exclusively by racists who fear that 'others' will out grow us) issue, it's an issue over human rights, it's an issue over the fact that people see race and differences in culture as an excuse to murder others.
Blame the roads all you like. Certainly they are responsible for many of the airborne viruses that are a constant threat to everyone. AIDS though, it doesn't travel on roads. It travels in whorehouses.
AIDS did come in with the roads. The peoples in South America are losing their way of life because a highway goes right through their village. Everything travels in with the roads, shipping routes and etc. How did it get anywhere you jack ass? Did someone cosmically fuck someone on the other side of the globe?
[In America] AIDS is spreading in poor areas (we can do something about that), through casual homosexual encounters (we could allow marriage), through drug use (we could stop that), there is ways to stop it. In fact, the first way would be to stop being so greedy and lowering the costs of prevention (we can do that) and drugs (we could do that). Oh, and we could stop infringeing on others cultures and lifestyles. If they die, they die. If they don't they don't. It's a crap shoot, but don't talk shit.

I wasn't taught in school the Civil War was about slavery.
I was taught that it was about the Union and the fact that you don't back out on a contract with the USA.
Sorry, but there is no way that the Confederacy could have worked. The only reason they wanted it to work was in fact though to impose a system denying people of their human rights. History shows that people fought the idea of a "Union" up until the Civil Rights era because the majority wanted "mob rule".
But really...: DCites? Greedy ones? They are the ones to blame? I guess you figure they were imperialists?
See, the protections you want, you know those Constitutional ones... those are guaranteed under the federal system. You get no such guarantees under a confederate system, in fact traveling could land you in hot water.
So, basically quit your bitching. My guess: You're from the South. You are racist, and have pride in your forfathers abuse of fellow humans. You are also made at those imperialist scum who took those states rights away and see a system which those rights are dwindling.
But you also belive in the fact that you should be afford some sort of inalienable rights, or something. But you think a federal system guarantees too many rights to your "lower" peoples out there and that isn't cool - you want to be able to harm those people.
Still... my point: Get Over It. The Nazi's lost too, don't complain. Mussolini is hung dead so don't bother beating that dead horse either.
My poor friend... you simplify genetics and evolution down to one case.
Sure, many people live through information (wash your hands in running water) and medicine (Mr. Lister, thank you). But they aren't all new ideas. And not all will save us 100% of the time.
The laws of evolution, if you can call them that, are non-rational and complex. There is no simply way to say we are in or not; therefore we are.

Once the "mutation" is handed down to your offspring it is no longer a mutation, it's just a gene.

But your solution is going to involve too much interaction and it's just moderation and letting kids control the network.
