    do you realize how many people work at the USPTO? Have you ever been there? They have people to review each patent.

    it isn't a "stamp through" organization by any means.

  3. WoW is brilliant on World of Warcraft Shatters Sales Records · · Score: 4, Insightful

    not only do they get 600,000 people buying the game, they have a constant revenue stream coming in every month of what $15/user?

    that works out to be a lot of cash over a year, brilliant!

  4. if your job is being outsourced on Business Under Fire · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    You obviously don't have a skill set that is that important. if you want to keep your job, you need to make yourself necessary to keeping.

  5. This could pan out to be very interesting on India's Cops Meet Technology · · Score: 4, Insightful

  6. well it isn't really a MS product... yet on Microsoft Releases AntiSpyware Program · · Score: 1, Insightful

    So i would expect this version to be pretty solid (old companies code), as time goes on and more MS code is introduced, expect quality to go down a bit, well possibly

  7. Well the guy is a moron on Conspiring Against Your Employer? Watch What You Email · · Score: 1

    If i am sending anything personal I do it through my webmail that has SSL, why would I want my employer knowing what I am saying on off business or to my g/f?

  8. Re:Marketing on Gates Nose-Dives at CES · · Score: 1

    Well just look at the failing american work ethic compared to that of India/China/ect, no other country will destroy us, we will ourselves

  9. Re:Marketing on Gates Nose-Dives at CES · · Score: 1

    I wonder if the fathers of capitalism ever imagined the levels of marketing we would have today. I believe it really skews the whole idea of competition...

    Please, America had a LONG time to go before it became capitalist, it was FAR from that at the inception of our country. Only in the past 100 years has it become "capitalist"

  10. i don't know what i really beleive on What Do You Believe Even If You Can't Prove It? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    i don't beleive in the christian god, but i know there has to be something out there, things are just to "perfect" to randomly appear.

  13. Did I ever tell you about the time Linus took me on Linus Makes Business Week's Best Managers List · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    out to go get a drink with him? We go off looking for a bar and we can't find one. Finally Linus takes me to a vacant lot and says, 'Here we are.' We sat there for a year and a half and sure enough someone constructs a bar around us. The day they opened we ordered a shot, drank it, and then burned the place to the ground. Linus yelled over the roar of the flames, 'Always leave things the way you found em

  14. Personally, I will keep my kids away from them on Introducing Children to Computers? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Simply because i want them being active and playing outdoors. Yes I have a degree in CS, but the last thing i want are my children constantly playing on the PC or sitting infront of a TV.

    I understnad their importnace, but i also understand they can be abused and used in a way to foster lazyness.

  20. Re:Get a grip on Inventor of Optical Storage Gets Little Reward · · Score: 1

    so you deny that slashdot would lambaste him if he would have sold a patent for millions of dollars, so that we still have to pay him royalties? please, people consider that a mortal sin

  21. Re:Makes you think.... on Inventor of Optical Storage Gets Little Reward · · Score: 2, Informative

    there are different fee scales for patents, it is a lot more if you are a corporation compared to that if you are an individual.

    and if you are an individual, the patent office must assist you through the process. but if you plan on a return on your investment, you better damn well do research and not complain about it, if you want to complain, hire someone to do the research for you and file the patent. there are means and it isn't to difficult.

  22. and if he would have patented it on Inventor of Optical Storage Gets Little Reward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    and sold the rights, /. would curse him
