Way to reply completely out of context! Australia has NOTHING to do with the USPTO. Not that plenty of wheel applications haven't gone up before the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
No, "someone" can't. Reasonable is such a subjective term, and varies based on market demand. Also, you are proposing regulated pricing, AKA socialism, and bucking the free market.
Veal, on the other hand . . . Lots of small companies are snapped up wholesale on the value of their IP. A buyout offer is often the first step in forced acquisition, followed by litigation on any pretext.
Nobody was asking for binary updates to be independently stored on each user account. Cache, Addons (Interface), and.User files (WTF), however all fit under traditional Linux home directory classifications. In fact all these files and their directories are recommended to be completely deleted at the first sign of unstable performance to isolate the actual Wow binaries from addons and cache corruption. Something I personally wish for is for downloaded update blobs to be deleted after the program runs successfully on the new binary version. There is definitely some hard drive bloat in that area. Screen shots are also kept in a subdirectory under the Program Files tree, definitely user data that has no business being outside the user's home directory.
In my own mature installation, I have 194Mb of downloaders and updates. Yes, there's a separate downloader program for each update. The Cache, WTF, and Interface folders together comprise 62Mb across 2 accounts and upwards of 20 toons.
You can't divorce culture from civilization. Civilization is built from societies that evolve a culture to train it's young to reject barbarism. Valid reasons exist to culturally minimize female anatomy, such as immature abuse of women. That having been said, it's entirely possible to re-culturalize sexualism, if you're popular or otherwise far-reaching in your views.
But you still have to figure out how to teach adolescents and young adults (and also the not so young adults) how to respect each others bodies and feelings. You have to figure out how to get around the high emotional response women experience when discussing their most tender, sensitive, and precious organs. You have to figure out how to easily converse about sex and genitalia without provoking immature thoughts, jokes, fantasies, and even real memories (good and bad). Only then will our culture accept the casual discussion of bodily functions that we publicly ostracize in every way, right down to our clothing and hand placement rules.
You guys are rediculous. Cars have on-ramp for merging into traffic. Why would a hybrid flyer not have an equally convenient landing strip and merge lane?
Because multicellular organisms like homo sapiens can survive a poison that virii or bacteria cannot. Hasn't that been the basis of a great deal of medicine for over a century now?
You're assuming that it's Religion that drives greed, prejudice, ambition, and separatism. As much as I agree that Religion is a children's story meant to assuage distraught mourners, it is merely one tool that despots and dictators use to drive control of their societies.
The federal government (especially those under the executive branch) will do whatever the hell they please, and scandals only force them to whitewash and restart unpopular programs under different names./rant
Tongue in cheek, I know, but giving them knowledge of Arts and Sciences is not the same as teaching them judgment. I mean look at most James Bond villians!
So in other words, the system is working as designed. If you have a problem with the laws, talk to Congress or the SCOTUS. It never fails to amaze me how our Congress escapes blame for the mess the US has become. Perhaps it's because the only check they have is for our nations one Chief of the Armed Forces (not busy at all . ..) has to proofread all the fine print that 535 corporate-influenced blowhards can vomit out, and decide if these expansive and pork-laden bills will do more good than harm.
And you're assuming that Slashdot headlines are viewed as Scientific forum (capitalization used to emphasize your bias). Slashdot is not a scientific forum, but a nerd-emphasised general forum. Thus the common or vernacular definition should always be used, and the editors should remember that headlines are summaries of the article and stand alone frequently without further explanation.
You sound like they're going to install lasers that can be aimed. Well call me the pessimist, but that doesn't sound likely. More likely, they'll install pre-focused plug-lenses that will work just the same as the old spark plugs, and still fail to optimize the jets for correct fuel distribution on ignition.
My big question is why don't they simply incorporate the laser into each plug, and run a data wire alongside the power wire.

Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is not. If you think 29 years of age is enough to instill maturity on its own, then you don't get out much.

Good luck with that.
UNDERLORDS! Because they're UNDER the sea, get it?
Because sex is goooood, and aside from welfare, large families are an individual boon.

Are we so hard up that we are now ogling cloud boobs?
. . . which would completely destroy the whole concept. It's already awsome BECAUSE it's so disjointed.

Faint radiation in the visible spectrum does not equal humanly visible. Headline should read: People Emit Visible-spectrum Radiation.

I infer from your post that you have not graduated from a US grade school (not a bad thing if you are not a US citizen).
