No, you're not reading the patent wrong. I'm guessing you actually read the claims, since that's what's important - the claims actually include the gestures that you mentioned.
Once again, Slashdot displays its ineptitude at reporting on patent issues. Another poorly written summary gets published accusing the USPTO of issuing a bad patent, but the submitter failed to perform the required legal analysis before leveling that accusation.
The summary is 10% facts and 90% moronic rambling by the submitter. If you actually read the letter, you'll see that McCain was specifically referring to insider threats such as the Bradley Manning case. He doesn't mention Anonymous or LulzSec at all.
Section 6 of the paper seems to imply that even the most illiterate fool would still win about 30% more games by having a copy of the manual, no matter how illiterate they are.
It would be marginally more correct to say that Florian Mueller is spamming PC Magazine, since the reason he's mentioned in the/. summary is because he was quoted in TFA.
The objection is based on the idea that DPRK should specifically be excluded from what would otherwise be a routine rotation through the member states for chairmanship of the committee, because of its explicit goals toward proliferation. From a diplomatic perspective, being permitted to participate in the rotation is a reward for DPRK's bad behavior.
A lot of times, to regular joes, diplomatic actions bear little connection to how people behave in reality. Heads of state become unduly offended by perceived slights or inequitable treatment, and nations use things like committee chairmanships to foist their own legitimacy onto the world stage. From outside, diplomats often look like whining, screaming children who throw temper tantrums at the drop of a hat, but nevertheless, it's how the game is played for some reason.
Trademark infringement wouldn't require the recall of a product. They just wouldn't be able to call them HDMI cables. The issue here is patent infringement, and failure to sue one party for patent infringement doesn't result in the loss of patent rights against another party later.
They didn't have the power of FILIBUSTER! in the House, where there is no ability to filibuster (all debate is limited in time by the passage of resolutions defining the rules for consideration of a bill). All budget resolutions start in the House, as mandated by the Constitution, and in 2010 (before Republicans gained control of the House), the House failed to pass a FY 2011 budget before FY 2011 started. Finally, the Tea Party didn't gain strength inside the beltway until January 2011, when the newly elected members of Congress were sworn in.
I think you missed the point that because there's not a great deal of oil there, the oil is far more valuable to Afghanistan (which would be going from 0 barrels of oil production to substantially more than 0) than it is to an average oil company. Your argument might work better in a country like Iraq, which has orders of magnitude more exploitable reserves than Afghanistan does.
I think they're only there for the oil, frankly. If the Afghan / Pakistan areas weren't so rich in oil
Yeah, that 60,000 barrels of oil per day from Pakistan and 0 barrels of oil per day from Afghanistan really makes an impact compared to the US's 9,000,000 per day.
(While Afghanistan has an estimated roughly 2 billion barrels of oil reserves, this is puny compared to the oil available in Iraq or even the US. Afghanistan lacks the technological expertise required to extract this oil, so the government is contracting with outside companies to drill for it.)
It sounds like he asked some rent-a-cop if he could take people's pictures, and then gained access to computers in the Apple Stores to take these pictures without the permission of someone who actually had authority to grant that permission. The article is pretty scant on details, though, and only really tells things from his side, so it's hard to tell what really happened at this point.
Most of the heat generated by the Fukushima reactor after shutdown was from intermediate products of the reactions during normal operation. Eventually, those intermediate products decay to the point where they are safe, but in the meantime, you have to do something to keep the fuel cool (hence the fuel rod storage pools).
That's funny. Most people use their eyes, rather than their nose, to read pending legislation. You did read it before jumping to conclusions, didn't you?
What the parent poster says is correct. Also, SIRs are cheaper than filing a regular patent application.
The pending patent reform bill would eliminate SIRs, however, probably in part because publication is automatic at 18 months. All published patent applications go into the searchable database that examiners use.
If you file a patent application (not a provisional, mind you), it will publish 18 months later as long as you satisfy various formal requirements at filing (payment of fees, properly executed declaration, and a few other things). There's no obligation to pursue the application to get an actual patent, and if you're not planning to get the patent, then with a little research you can probably handle the initial filing pro se, leaving the USPTO fees as the only expense.
Obviousness was one of several patent concepts that arose from the Progress Clause but that wasn't originally a part of the statute. Instead, it was formed as a judicial doctrine that viewed obviousness as contrary to the limits on the patent system in the Progress Clause (in the 1850 Supreme Court case Hotchkiss v. Greenwood).
The concept of obviousness, along with the general guideline of "obvious to one having ordinary skill in the art", was later incorporated into the statute. In fact, many of the patent eligibility requirements were originally formulated by the courts and later adopted by Congress.
You could try it. The first six months are quite an education, and you'll learn why the Slashdot technique for rejecting patent claims doesn't work in the real world.
If you stick around long enough, the pay and telework options get really good. But that's because the turnover is so high.

Wait a minute, I've seen these movies already!
The plug on the end changed...the keys stayed the same.
What's this one with the wavy squares do?

Nah, he'll get it right this time. As we all know, the Internet is really a series of braaaaains.

There's just one problem with that idea.
Section 6 of the paper seems to imply that even the most illiterate fool would still win about 30% more games by having a copy of the manual, no matter how illiterate they are.
I just like to look at the pictures.

So what kind of cat do we need?
Cat 6 or 6a should cover it.

Professor Plum: What are you afraid of, a fate worse than death?
Mrs. Peacock: No, just death, isn't that enough?
It sounds like he asked some rent-a-cop if he could take people's pictures, and then gained access to computers in the Apple Stores to take these pictures without the permission of someone who actually had authority to grant that permission.

Your first breath? Try breathing more often?
No, he said his first breath was pins and needles. Clearly, he should try breathing less often.

If these contracts are known for being so bad, why do people continue to sign them?
The temptation of hookers and blow. Also, bands aren't known for hiring good lawyers until after they make it big.
I smell disingenuity.

Probably not. But they definitely don't accept railroad bonds.
