The House has provided a handy way to e-mail your representative! While I'm sure it's not secure, it's a good way to give comments back to the people voting on this bill, not just other slashdotters.
Here's a summary of http://www.bitlaw.com/trademark/dilution.html Note that Dilution is not valid for non-commercial marks ---
"Blurring", by which the connection in consumers' minds between the plaintiff's mark and the plaintiff's goods or services is weakened; or "Tarnishment", which means that the defendant's use is unsavory or unwholesome, or the mark is used in connection with inferior products. However, the Act makes clear that certain actions will not be subject to the provisions of the Act. Specifically, the Act states that fair use (such as comparative advertising), noncommercial use (such as noncommercial web pages), and all forms of news reporting and news commentary (which would apparently include reporting and commentary appearing on the Internet) would not constitute dilution under the Act.
The transaction processing aspect of the processor is most important when combined with the "shadow register" concept.
It looks as if the Morph Processor is a translated cache, where the Host Processor (see previous transmetta patent) reads from the the Morph Processor. The Host processor thinks it is reading from memory/bus/whatever but is actually reading from the Morph Processor.
Registers in the Morph Processor can be dynamically renamed or shadowed for particular execution forks. The transaction processing is scary when you start rolling back one fork of execution and commiting another without slowing the process!
More impressive is the ability of the Morph Processor to combine/evaluate/execute concurent execution paths from multiple programs in different languages using multiple Morph Software!
