1. They cut and tie the tubes leading from your testes to the rest of your body. Then they sew you back up. In other words, there's no outwards difference. 2. The hormonal aspects are kept intact. In other words, you can still think with your dick. 3. The actual volume of sperm in the ejaculate is trivial compared to the volume created from the rest of the organs. In other words, you won't notice a difference in volume. The only difference in your content is that there's no sperm in it. It still comes out, pun intended. 4. If you could previously get an erection, then you can still get them unless they cut the wrong wire. If you can't, then it's probably psychological rather than physiological.
Huh, my sysadmin is sending me an "urgent" email. I wonder what that's about...
There's also nothing wrong with being a lazy programmer. (If you make games.)
So let's suppose you've got to create a sprite for your game. You like the girls better, so you code them first. There's nothing wrong with that. I can relate. You've then got to create a matching set of male characters.
Do you: 1. Create all the male characters from scratch?
2. Copy the female characters into the male directory, reuse a lot of the code like the gestures, dialog options, friendship level, affiliation, etc., and just change the names, skins, voicepacks, and just quickly change this one flag from hey lunchtime and then compile?
If in the event of the extremely likely #2, they could never admit to the mistake nor fix it.
Ohnoes! You can optionally kiss a boy! Now that I know I can offer flowers to a boy in the game, I simply can't resist, I'm somehow compelled by the homosexual agenda! I'm being forced get flowers, to track down a gay character, and offer the flowers to that character! Help, help, I'm being oppressed!
The same thing happened to me.
Here is a flower. @}---- So, uh, do you want to go get some dinner?
They weren't academic licences. They were part of the MSDN subscription I got when I was on a workterm (paid internship). The licence said I could continue using them afterwards as long as something, something. (It's been 3 years.)
I think it was as long as I didn't transfer the licence or as long as I used the licence on the same computer.
What you'll have to do is buy the file wrappers. Then read them. You can get them online at delphion (www.delphion.com) and the electronic version will show up in a day or two. Don't confuse the scanned patent document with the actual patent. The real patent - the one in the USPTO office, which is orderable online - is much more in-depth than what you'll find hanging on a wall, on the USPTO website, or on the PAIR database.
Then read the wrapper and consult a patent attorney. In law, a word means exactly what they want it to mean, neither more nor less. If you're like me, then your boss will say, "Hey, just read the documents. We don't have to get an attorney." Then email the request to your boss to CYA later. If you have to make any presentations, make sure you say, "Consult a patent attorney!" prominently, in red, and if you can, make it blink.
The precedent of Vogel vs Vogel may be of interest to your company. You can certainly patent a new invention based on someone else's technology. The same invention test is whether one of the claims could be literally infringed without literally infringing the other. If it could be, the claims do not define identically the same invention. What the heck does that mean? Well, if the old patent makes 8 claims and your new patent makes 10, 7 (or even 8) of which are from the old patent, then you've got a new invention. (YMMV)
Anyway, the file wrappers show the reasons for rejection and the company response. It would be a rare patent that was not initially rejected, either from typos, poor language selection, or possible reiteration of previous patents. There are probably specifics relating to one company's procedures that don't influence your company's. For example, they might use UDP as their network protocol. If you use TCP, chances are you'll never, ever have to pay them anything. (And for crying out loud, patent your process!) You may be able to work around their patent by something as simple as reformatting some XML or changing the maximum number of files that can be viewed at a time.
If the patent in question does not give specifics, then it certainly was not granted. They don't even let you use words like "prompt" or "timely" - you have to define those terms in millseconds or years or some unit.
What's the patent number? I'm curious as to what it says.
I got a pair of licences from MSDN when I was a student. I have a copy of WinXP and Win2000 (both Pro) from free. So yes, they are legitimate copies, albeit downloaded ones that I burned onto CD.
I've rebuilt my WinXP box twice. Each time, I had to call their toll-free number and get an authorization. It took less than a minute (hold time notwithstanding) and did not require me to give out any personal information. (Although they probably had my home phone number.)
Both times were well outside of business hours. (8pm on a Thursday and late on a Sunday.) So it's not really a big deal. It probably would be if you were a casual pirate who borrowed your brother's friend's CD from work. If you're a serious (career?) pirate, then you don't give a shit either way because you'll just be using key generators and a fake authentication server anyway.
Violence is not the answer. It's not possible to physically overthrow a government that has nuclear weapons and a standing army. It's not physically possible. That assumes that you'd have no support from sympathetic branches of your government, which is a valid assumption for a worst-case analysis.
Even assassination would be pointless. (Let me be clear - I am not advocating the following.) Let's assume you assassinate, say, Bush. (Even though he's no longer legally able to be president any more.) He's dead. The control would pass to his VP until another election. That VP would appoint another VP to take his place, and apart from a few days of turmoil and the footage being shown nonstop on CNN, there would be almost no difference to the running of the country. The same is true of any building. Destroying a building would have roughly the same effect - a few days of turmoil, a few new hastily passed laws, and nonstop footage on CNN.
What can possibly be done? Well, the easiest thing to do is vote. Currently, 60% of the American population is so disillusioned with the electoral process that they don't get off their asses. Those people are throwing away something that most of the world doesn't get to do. Through complete apathy, they are allowing the small minority to control their actions. Now, that's because to most people, there's no difference in their lives no matter who is in office. Politicians lie, so it doesn't matter which set of liars gets elected. For the most part, that's true. No matter what rhetoric you may have seen spewed, 9/11 would probably have still happened if Gore had been in the white house. It wasn't Clinton's fault - what happened was a culmination of many, many factors - far too numerous to list here. The cold fact is, you guys got sandbagged. We all did.
You can also restrict who gets to run. We've seen this before in scores of novels, internet sites, and movies. We could say that only veterans get to run, or only people with an IQ greater than 190, or left-handed acrobats, etc. The fault with all of these systems is that they place restrictions, and the people that want power more than anything else will find a way around those restrictions. Bush and Kerry are both veterans. Look at the difference in record, and look at how each side will justify their guy's experience and discount the other guy's.
The hard part is that the people who get to make the laws are the people who are regulated by these laws. (A raise for us? Well, first it has to pass the acid test of being voted on by us!)
Take back the media. That's supposed to be what regulates the government. You should find it embarrassing that The Daily Show is a better source of news than the news. Expose all the lies that they've told, in the same way TDS does.
Start a new party. If you can get just one in three Americans to get off their asses and vote for you, then you'll get elected. It's going to be next to impossible, but remember that there is no reward without effort. Your prize is nothing less than the recovery of America.
Hell, if half the/. readers vote for you, you'd win.
I don't know why I bother sometimes, but hey, you took the time to respond to me.
First, I'm not sure where you're getting your information. It's not what I'd call "accurate".
Yes, most of America's achievements were performed by immigrants. Everyone except the First Nations are either immigrants or descendants of immigrants. (And even that is only in a temporal context, as the First Nations walked over from Siberia.) So all the stuff that America has done, for good and for ill, is done by people who wanted to get rid of the oppressive bullshit that their homeland stank of.
That's my point. America shows the world what people are capable of when we all work together.
People don't come to America to get on with white women. That's... delusional. People come to America because America is The Land of the Free. You can worship whomever you want. You can watch whatever TV you want. You can work in any field you choose. You can go to school. You can buy food and it is plentiful. There are hospitals. There is a very low risk of invasion.
These are things you take for granted. That's one of the things that piss people off. There's no global conspiracy.
And even if there was, I would MUCH prefer to be run by Jews than by corporations. At least I'd get Sundays off.
You're going to let your country expire because you're too lazy to get up off your asses and take it back? The US is (or was) the perfect example of a country. You were oppressed by some ruling class that wanted to tax you with representing you, take away your rights, and treat you like the lousy commoners you are. Instead of leaving to go to other countries, your ancestors said, "Hey, that's not right. We can do a better job." You overthrew the government and made the biggest, roughest, smartest country that the world has ever known. You invented electric lights, developed flight, split the atom, and you walked on the fucking moon. You showed the world, "This is what we are capable of as human beings when we work together. Man and woman, rich and poor, white and black, side by side."
Yeah, you've had some rough times. A few dickheads have metagamed and bent the rules towards their own sociopathic ends. It's hard to stage a revolt and take back your country when there are laws preventing you from doing so.
But you know what? There were laws against revolting from England, too. I'm sure that your founding fathers would have been hanged (lethal injection not being around at the time) or sent to The Tower (Gitmo not being around at the time either). Yeah, you might die. You might have to go to war. You've done that before - twice, and internally! - so that the side of freedom would prevail.
I am not an American. I think that for the most part, you're a bunch of arrogant assholes. But you know what? You deserve to be arrogant. A large part of the hostility you get from foreigners is jealousy. Yes, jealousy. You're a young country. You're less than 300 years old. How does that make a 3000 year old country look when you completely surpass their technology, human rights, and standard of living? Yeah, they'd look stupid for just sitting around in the desert when they could have been using the tools that were just lying around. You are the most powerful nation in the history of the planet. There is nothing in this universe that you cannot do. All you require is the will to do it.
If you leave, if you give up, that jealousy will turn to hatred - hatred that you threw out one of the best things that's happened to the world. And you are. Yeah, sometimes the US is a belligerent force. You've made some mistakes - and we all know what they are. But when there are earthquakes, the US is there. When there is starvation, the US is there. When there are floods, tsunamis, or hurricanes the US is there. Sometimes you go to the wrong places or have misguided or corrupt leaders. For the most part, you are a force for good. At least, you try to be.
We all make mistakes. Mistakes can be forgiven.
Don't give up.
If you don't like what's happening to your country, then don't quit it. Fight it. Fight to keep your country safe and secure. The only threat to your country comes from within.
You shouldn't be flamebait. I find it shocking and appalling that this hasn't been on fark or/. before.
I describe it to my friends like this:
"Did you hear that the US officially disbanded?"
If you cannot ask "Hey, why am I in jail?", you have no freedoms. Every single right in your Bill of Rights was removed by removing HC. Anyone suspected of being a terrorist can be put in jail, indefinitely, with no legal councel. How is that part of a free country?
(HC has been on the books since the 1200s, and is part of the legal system of every country with a Common Law - basically every civilized nation in the world. Even IRAN has it (on paper). )
Oh, and if you haven't done anything wrong, remember that violations of the DMCA can be considered terrorist activities. Nice job hacking your Tivo, Gitmo Boy.
Without Habaeus Corpus, your country is fascist. End Of Story.
You might argue that it's a valuable tool to help eliminate terrorists. Yes, it is. So is just summary execution without trial. You could also murder their children and spouses. You could gun them down and seize their computers. These aren't tools that civilized countries use. That's the downside to our systems - sometimes you KNOW that an asshole has done something, but you can't prove it. You have to let him go. If you have to use torture, secret prisons, and indefinite incarceration, then give up - you've lost The War.
Basically, "There can be no injury to the willing." If you're partaking in a dangerous activity, you cannot blame anyone but yourself for your injuries.
But it's fucking TAG. Is the US populated by hemophiliacs with osteogenesis imperfecta?
Kids get hurt. I know; I was a kid and I have two of my own. I got hurt by other kids, often, and on purpose. You know what? Life hurts and has no mercy.
If all the world is bending over backwards to find new ways of plugging their ears, stop yelling.
That's the problem. Not everyone is plugging their ears. There are enough dumb people (or gullible, or clueless) that continue to buy products pitched by the spammers that it's still financially lucrative.
I could probably quit my job, become a spammer, and make more money.
As the oft-posted/. checklist states, there's not really a solution. Legislation won't do anything - look at the arguments we've got here. UK and Canadian companies don't have to comply with US law, and those are your friends. What about China, Russia, Buttnowhereistan, or Nigeria? The spammers will move to other countries outside of US jurisdiction.
It's not a war. It's just the free market. There are no rules preventing spamming and you make money when you do it. Therefore, it will continue.
The alternative - having the governments or DoS vigilantes deciding what can be placed on the tubes - is far worse that anything any spammer can do.

No, he got fired because it's a WCB violation to be around whirring blades without adequate safety equipment.
Never mind getting "caught" in the rotor - all characters have to wear reflective vests and helmets when near working helicopters.

Oh, it used to be the name of a right-wing senator named Rick Santorum.
So you can "reverse bomb" and take over someone's name. It just takes a concerted effort to do so.
Well, I'd expect such a response from a dumb motherfucker flip-flopper like you, Senator Santorum.
