I'm curious to know what percentage of foodborne illnesses are caused by "didn't wash hands" and what percentage are caused by "saved money someplace in the food supply chain."
The problem there is that in order to take a nibble of that binding energy you have to find a lower energy state for everything to drop into, and there doesn't seem to be one available.
There's a legal doctrine called 'reliance' behind this sort of ruling. Basically where someone promises something in exchange for you doing a thing, and then when you do the thing they go "psyche!" and retract their offer (or otherwise penalize you for doing the thing).
Once upon a time, you could actually set Google Search to ignore results from specific sites on an ongoing basis. But that was too useful a feature and had to be axed...
That seems like an awful strange position for Lexmark to take; at no point did they license the patent to the end-user, because the end user isn't manufacturing printer cartridges, they're buying them. I mean, I could see a case if they were selling the cartridges along with some kind of contract agreement that you wouldn't do X with them, but that's nothing to do with patents.
If this is actually how the OP describes it and it passes the Supreme Court, Americans really need to burn down their legal system and start over...

If the thief lived he'd get a convenient set of felony murder charges. If he's dead then it's a "training issue".

Right, because nobody ever goes into the sciences.
The DEA was investigating this whole mess, but then Congress mysteriously shut that down...go figure.
Any day now...
The whole "salted bomb" thing just screams FUD at me. Nobody has ever seriously considered using such a thing, because there's no point to them.
...but I do "hear" the thudding in the same sense that I hear my internal monologue. What an odd sensation. XD
The theme repeats. :)
That's kinda weird. Everyone I've ever known has become more socialist-leaning with age.
...the binary language of moisture vaporators?
People will move, and then they'll discover that where they want to move to already has people, and those people won't make way. Now what?
Double it and add thirty. So that's thirty-two metric Delawares.
If you actually look at it, the system in nature is called "survival of the least-inadequate."
Someone swoop in there and patent it out from under the locals!
A novel is just a string of strings of words. Why should that be copyright-able?
You've...entirely misunderstood what they've done. XD
See, I think this is the fundamental misapprehension, these days. :)
"They should have thought of that before they decided to be poor." /s
Starting now...
All the original-flavoured human error, none of the annoying self-preservation instinct!
