So then they should publish their works. The patent system was created to move knowledge into society. If you want to keep your widget a secret you do not deserve protection. It was not made to protect anyone or let anyone profit from anything.
No, you just have to publish to so you can provide prior art. The whole point of the patent system is to provide a limited monopoly in exchange for showing the public how to make your widget. So either patent or publish or STFU.
Newsflash, we have smartphones so we can leave the basement and travel out into the world without being computerless. Your solution would restrict us once again to the basement.

Thus ruining space for everyone and making me finally realize humans in general are worthless shitheads.
Yes, but it achieves the goal of moving that knowledge into the culture.
That is a nice reasoning, but it exists to promote the useful arts, not to make you rich.
Thank you
Compasses do not work in airplanes? Maps do not work at altitude?
That is a problem with the maps you were using not GPS. GPS is Global Positioning System, it just tells you where you are and that is it.
Mind repeating that in English?
It is not my first language either, but I have no idea what you are trying to say.
I never made such a suggestion. The profit motive is merely a means to an end, the only goal of patents is to have inventions disclosed.
I think you mean Schwarzschild radius.

Fun fact, you can play those games on a PC in the living room. The Wii emulator dolphin can do HD. Which a real wii cannot.
How is copyleft software costing you anything or is a pain?
Is someone forcing you to use it?
How about this, if you don't want to share alike then STFU and write your own code. Seems pretty simple really.
Help in stopping?
How would you need help? Just stop offering the product. Seems pretty darn easy to me.
You don't have to use it. Hell, how about you write your own fucking code?
Copyleft code is cheap, if BSD give credit, if GPL make source available for everything. Done and done. None of these cost much money at all.
Stop feeding the trolls.
My employer pays for my cell plan, but if I could have data only I would get to pocket about half the stipend.

I am just pissed that I cannot cancel the voice on my smartphone. I would much rather just use VOIP over wifi and 3G.
So what was the point of that considering that you have to still have to pay for cellular minutes?
At least it attempts to explain reality with observable phenomenon instead of the old "God did it, no thinking required" that religion is so fond of.
No the correct solution is to not use ink but instead a toner based technology. Inkjets are pure garbage.
How?
This means you own the copyright on your song of these numbers if anything.
How is this even a copyright issue? These numbers are not a creative work, they are just facts.
WTF are you talking about?
I am only describing the reality the saw when I was a kid 20 years ago.
You cannot force a child to work commercially for you for free.
Sure you can, if you have kids and own a business you do not have to pay them.
You cannot compel a child to testify against themselves.
Tell that to my parents.
The police may not search children without a warrant.
Why would they need to? They can get the school to do it.
The school may not interfere with a child's practice of religion.
As a person not of the main religion while I was a child in the southern USA, I would say that is the law but not the actual practice.
They never did have to return it to you, only to your parents. The toys just like yourself were property of your parents.
I am not saying this is right or wrong, only the way it is.
