So your suboptimal route would just include getting a passport, packing, going through security, getting on a plane, renting a car, reserving a hotel, and finding a nice restaurant just to save $5 at Walmart! It's worth it just to hear the greeter say," Welcome to Walmart. I love you."

Isn't there some part of the US Patent Office mission statement that says what they are doing should be for the public good? Why would the US population fund an agency that generates annoying or evil patents? If I create an idea that is novel and non-obvious but only leads to an increase in human misery ("Novel Method for Inducing World Famine and Disease Using a Video Gaming System..."), is that still patentable?
Even if the route mod fee went to me, I still wouldn't go to Walmart.
You can't put enough compressed air in a container to work well at a reasonable pressure. CFCs and other chemicals of that type (propane in propane tanks for the BBQ are another example) become liquids at room temperature and moderate pressures (something like 60-100psi). As the gas above the liquid is used, the pressure in the container remains constant (vapor pressure) until the liquid is depleted and only then does the pressure start going down. This works much better for propelling out a fixed dose of drug. If you used air, the pressure would decrease with each use and change the amount of drug ejected.
This doesn't explain why the makers of Primatene have not found an alternative propellant. They have known about this coming ban for years and it is difficult to purchase this item these days.
So $2 billion vanished and no alarms went off? I am impressed. Almost as good as Solyndra going out of business after getting $500 million loan from govt. Even if you do nothing, how do you go out of business that soon after getting a giant pile of $$$? Those private sector guys crack me up with their zany antics!
Are we talking about the movie The Hurt Locker that won 6 Academy Awards including one for best screenplay? That's the one with awful writing and disjointed story?

As Bernd T. Matthius, the famous physicist, used to say when people touted this or that new superconducting material, "Make me a cable!" Exotic materials that work in the lab often can't be made into a cable of any length or usefulness.
Sorry but the 7 ft of water in your living room was not a flood, but a hurricane, which is not covered under your policy. This has been a public service announcement from your friendly insurance company.
Only problem is if the exact same product is made by a non-Apple company, (almost) no one will buy it. iStuff sells to a certain audience no matter what it is. This must make other vendors crazy. "Hey look at the new iBarf!" "Oooo, shiny!"
With apologies to Steven Wright: "One day, when I came home from work, I accidentally put my car key in the door of my apartment building... I turned it... and the whole building started up.... So I drove it around.... A policeman stopped me for going too fast... He said, 'Where do you live?'... I said, 'Right here'... Then I drove my building onto the middle of a highway, and I ran outside, and told all of the cars to get the hell out of my driveway."

You are kidding right? Try not having a $100/mo phone bill. You could buy a new GPS every month for what you have to give Verizon.

Never mind. No public good there.

Have two TVs on at the same time viewing different programs.
That's easy. Just look on iTunes. Oh, it costs $1!
So they increased their prices by 60% and didn't lose even 10% of their subscribers? They win. Maybe they should raise the rates again.

This is really earth-shattering news, so to speak. Lets see. If each one of those planets has 50 creation stories, then... AARRGGHH! (head explodes).
Somehow I'm defending a movie I haven't even seen. Remind me not to do this. I was merely suggesting that others had a vastly different opinion.
Hey, I haven't even seen Titanic or Avatar so I'm immune to lemming, sheep or any other mindless criticism. And I don't watch the Oscars.
