    If it's the algorithms that Kodak invented it's another story. It's not though, that's the problem.
    Downgrading/upgrading resolution is not something you patent...

    Are you seriously going to say (with a straight face, we'll have no giggling or chuckling) that transmitting a digital image by reading a configuration file to know where to put a file and then transmitting it to that location is considered innovative?
    Or how about previewing a picture? I mean.. these are ideas that were out since MS-DOS was around. Using the idea in another product is not innovation.

    If I invent a hovering wallet, do you think it's innovative if I patent how to open that wallet? It's the same kind of thing... so obvious.

    What if someone wanted to innovate and DIDN'T have a war-chest of patents to protect the gates? Besides, money diverted from research & innovation is money wasted in this case.
    Let's not get stupid in the discussion.

    If the human body was a perfectly working machine, it'd be just what's said. It isn't, unfortunately.

    It's not just the front that shatters... that happens when it slips out of your hand... much less from a large distance.

    I was alive 30 years ago. (1981)
    Believe me, the things back then were by far not built better with higher quality. Nor will they continue to operate for another 50 years.
    I've come to one conclusion about things from the past, and our feelings. Things from the past seem to last longer than things in the present because the few items that were built decently survived until the current day. The same has happened since the beginning of creation, and continues with our items even today.

    Most televisions from 1981 were horrid.

    No vehicle should bounce more than the maximum of twice or the suspension system needs to be checked. This includes SUVs as they are vehicles, also.
    Sports cars (and other cars with a low center of gravity) slow down because of the possibility of bottoming while going over those god forsaken speed bumps.
    Suspension has nothing to do with snow travel.

    The slowest people I see going over speed bumps are ricers.
