Every examiner starts with his or her first patent application after receiving just two weeks of training
So, what is the turnover rate at the USPO? What percentage of the examiners are seasoned examiners of patent applications etc. What percentage of the examiners have worked there for less than 2 years?
We just need an article about a "Commemorative Mac Classic Lego Built Case Mod Landing On Mars" and the topics will have completely overlapped themselves.
What about the current Poll? Cheapest way to put a man on Mars?
Anyone want to hear my theories on the cost effectiveness in traveling to Mars using Toaster Technology and Legos, Apple computers and Han Solo as Pilot?
I hope not because I really don't have any idea how that could be done.
Years ago when I was going to buy parts to build my first non-apple computer, I went to Frys.
I went by myself but my friends told me everything that would need. They also told me that if I needed help to find a female clerk, because all the females know their stuff, and that wasn't quite true of the male clerks.
The one recent purchase I've made at a store, I became very hostile with the salesman at Best Buy who was treating me like a child, despite my repeated firm protestations of "I know exactly what I'm looking for, please back off already."
I haven't shopped much at Best Buy, and never actually purchased anything at one of their stores, but is it possible they just have bad customer service? (I know, this is but one example.) I hate hard-sell and would be tempted to say "Leave me alone or I'll shop somewhere else!"
After dedicating so many years of my life to developing my computer skills, that treatment infuriates me.
Kill Them! Kill Them! Toast Them!
It's the answer to all problems great and small.:)
Now, even when dealing with tech support I make my bf take the phone and he tells them what I say
Does anyone ever notice your relay and ask to speak directly with you because you're obviously the techie?
Interestingly, the free-for-personal use personal firewall product I'm using DOES use checksums to check whether binaries that may have specific permissions (to access the internet or open ports) have changed!
Would it be too much to ask what this free-for-personal-use.... product that "innoculates" is?
Do you or anyone else know of any other products? Commercial or otherwise?

I've been doing this for years. One hand on my mouse, and the other on my...nevermind.
Keyboard?
I'll be sufficiently impressed if it's good enough to blow up a small city the size of, say, Redmond.
And it doesn't even have to look like the Death Star. I would be sufficiently impressed if it looked like a cartoonish penguin.
Or how about just freezing Bill Gates in Carbonite?
Saturday night ... 1:32am ... ... I'll go back to looking at porn.
You guys go look at LEGOs
Might I be able to interest you in some LEGO pr0n?

Nathan Sawaya built a life size replica of Han Solo frozen in carbonite.
Does it contain Harrison Ford?
Could it be modified to contain Harrison Ford?
And this is redundant, but it is slashdotted already.
