What GP describes started in WWII. It was formalized (between the US, UK and Australia) just after the war and isn't news to anyone who has been paying attention.
What are you going do do, dig up FDR and put him in prison?
Damascus steel being currently made by folding and pounding is not the same as historic damascus steel, which came out of the furnace with islands of high and low carbon steel.
They can tell the difference and there is still active research.
Not the OP and applies more to patents: Before IP rights, people kept innovations secret to monetize them, selling the product but keeping process to themselves.
Never did work for things displayed in public, but there have been processes kept secret for centuries (crucible steel) and others that were kept so secret they were lost (damascus steel, modern 'equivalents' are art and not equivalent). I will grant that inventions around military technologies are still kept secret for as long as possible.
Sanders is a communist. The media helped him cover. He praised Castro and went to the USSR for his honeymoon. Look at who he's hung with for the last 30 years.
They would have eaten him alive in the general. The Rs let the Ds give him a pass for his commie nature in the hope that he might end up somehow associated with the D's candidate in the general, where they would hang his words around the candidates neck.
With six figure metal sintering machines. The same machines that existed 10+ years ago before 3d printing became a craze.
There are no current plastic 3d printers that can make parts as strong as injection molded parts. There are no technologies on the horizon to do this. I'm sorry that doesn't fit your fantasy.
You really should wait for 3d printers to get to 'as good as the original for cheap' before declaring that they have.
There are _insurmountable_ technical problems with plastic extrusion printers, they will never make parts as strong as injection molded ones. Simple copies aren't strong enough, not even close in most cases. To make them work at all requires reengineering the thing for the new material strength (or lack of strength across layers).
Also consider the cost/weight of filament vs. Injection molded parts. The filament extrusion process is more expensive than the molding process. Molding also works with better materials (e.g. glass of carbon fiber reinforced nylon 6-6).
This issue is bigger than 3d printing. Copyright on shapes is just stupid. (e.g. Buran looked like the space shuttle because of the laws of physics.)
Because of all the law enforcement agencies in the USA, uncle charlie is the one to fear most?
Uncle charlie doesn't care what you do as long as you don't interfere with their cash cows. 1000W linear on a crappy CB, no enforcement, had to put a pin through the jackass's coax myself.

That's what happens when a descriptive term is redefined to mean it's opposite. Liberal once meant 'in favor of liberty'.

WTF does that have to do with the FACT that Bernie is a red?
Do reds not exist?

Requiring reengineering the part to be 'strong enough'. You can't just scan a part and print a copy.
Nothing inherently expensive about metal sintering machines except the high power lasers and inert gas environments.
Sanders in a centrist? You are clearly insane.

You generally want more than one shot out of a mold though.
CNC milling machines do a great job of making molds. There are already tradeoffs available, cheap to make vs. durability.
Much more precise than current generation extrusion 3d printers too.

Wasn't the first big spill into the gulf of Mexico. Mexican national oil company did the same thing in the 70s.
There are no additional shoes to drop, much as the environmentalists would like much more damage, they are disappointed.
Better yet, just copy an old design.
Just because something becomes copyrightable, doesn't imply a race to the copyright office to claim the old work.

It's the old Dilbert:
They outsourced everything they aren't good at, unfortunately one of the things they aren't good at is knowing what they are good at.

Canucks are funny.
Hint: You never burnt DC, that was the Brits. Without them you would be the 51st state in reality as well as name.
At least we wouldn't have to put up with the damn frogs. You don't see cajuns demanding signs in some frogish creole.
I bet VW isn't selling the good ones anymore. Likely all bad running clean ones on the lot.
What you really need is a copy of the good (cheating) ECU code, so you can fix it every time the factory mechanic fucks it up.
Your boss likes you, a lot.
S/he will not always be your boss. Play things right and they could be your down report next week, or they could be unemployed.
'Boss' is not a permanent status, especially for idiots. However if all your bosses are idiots, you have found a great opportunity.
It's a low grade IQ test.
Anybody who bought the heaviest Porsche available failed and should have his/her speed electronically limited for life. They will likely never notice.
Sometimes a light switch and blackout curtains.
I draw the line at: Vapor rub under my nose.
Italian trash. Historically most Ferraris had less than 200 ponies and ran 16+ second 1/4 miles, competitive with British put-puts. Skunked on power.
Seriously overpriced garbage. Unless you pay megabucks for a new one (which all contain 'truck motors' just like Enzo used to hate on.)
The Pontiac GTO was faster than the Ferrari GTO. Tested and proven multiple times, most famously on Monza.
Apples ARE more like Ferraris than mustangs, overpriced, slow, fashion accessories marketed in insecure rich morons.
If it's still selling it doesn't need an excuse.
The morons that buy it on the other hand...
and VMS.
As you say, Kildall stole the 'API' from VMS fair and square. How dare anybody else turn around and steal it from him.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Nothing of value was lost.
Study a little finance before lecturing.
Cap costs aren't in profit and loss. They are reporting the carrying costs of the loan to build the gigafactory, not the cost of the gigafactory.
