Accordingly, the cultivation
of plants containing the patented gene and cell does not constitute an infringement.
The plants containing the patented gene can have no stand-by value. To conclude
otherwise would, in effect, confer patent protection on the plant. Since there is no
claim for a “glyphosate-resistant” plant and all its offspring, saving, planting, or
selling seed from glyphosate-resistant plants does not constitute an infringing use. As
was done here, the respondents can still license the sale of seeds that they produce
from their patented invention and can impose contractual obligations, such as
prohibition on saving seeds, on the licensee.
Rifling marks can only match the bullet to the gun when you also have the gun. This relies on a database, so you only need the bullet (or casing in this example).
In principle I'm all in favour of tracing firearms in this sort of way, it's very similar to car registration in my mind. I realise the US has the right to bear arms and all, but that doesn't seem to prevent tracking weapons in my mind.
I've always wondered what will happen when somebody invents a device that detonates all explosives (gunpowder included) within a one 1 mile radius - surely thats a weapon in exactly the same way and should be protected? (Good exploration of the idea in the book "The Trigger"). I target shoot incidentally, so I'm not anti gun, just pro-control.
We already have gun registration when they are newly purchased. They can be tracked that way just ask the DOJ about Fast and the furious.
Please state the primary intended use for a gun. Don't forgot about all the research that went into developing armor piercing bullets and bullets that liquify flesh and fragment to cause as much damage as possible. Neither of those technologies have anything to do with sport. That last thing you want in that deer you just shot is 500 tiny fragments of lead. Deer also don't hide behind armor.
Ok most of the frangible bullets are for self defense, Not for offensive actions like a criminal would do.
You would never use a self defense round in a sport setting.
Your looking to punch holes in paper or to knock over a steel plate or even those deadly bowling pins.
You would not use a self defense round on wild game. Number one reason is the lack of penetration into the heart lung area. remember that wild animals such as deer while even though small they have a thick hide that we humans dont.
For me the primary use of ANY weapon (pistols, long rifles, shotguns, bow & arrows, knives, swords, spears, or even a pellet gun is self defense.
Second is for pest control (ok almost the same as the first reason).
Thirdly is for killing for food.
Having a pistol isnt just for sport even though as a former PPC and IPSC shooter and a LEO I did a lot of sport shooting.
Depends on where you work. Where i work, we take security seriously. You cant even walk in the door with another person. Your photo is verified against your face as you enter. We also have metal detectors on the doors, and the guards have real guns to stop you with, not just a radio to call for help.
AOL's brand is so strong among the technically illiterate that some people actually thing that AOL is the "Internet," is "Email," is "instant messenger," etc.
Whaat?
You mean to tell me that AOL isnt these things?
Damn and all those years...
The reasons are the same no matter what.
I have seen people on welfare with full cable packages, 2 dogs( not little ankle biters but large 100#+ ones), a litter of kids, no car and no damn food in the house.
Oh and lets not forget that cell phone bill because they just HAD to have a iPhone.
Piss poor budgeting and purchases are the biggest problem.
Everyone "spends more money than they have," businesses, families, and yes, governments.
I dont spend what I dont have. So not everyone does this.
If I dont have the money to buy another horse , well then I dont buy one.
If I dont have the money to buy a (or take out a loan) car then I wait until I can afford it.
Some of us just happen to be responsible when it comes to money.
Others are not so smart and they are the ones always crying that they need another handout.
(I hate that term, is there an less biased term that doesn't give them undue credibility like "skeptic" does)
Anyone who thinks the word "skeptic" lends credibility is a dolt who fails at English, and should be treated as such.
you even provided a link to the meaning of the word yet you failed to grasp how your meaning isnt correct.
1.
a person who questions the validity or authenticity of something purporting to be factual.
2.
a person who maintains a doubting attitude, as toward values, plans, statements, or the character of others.
But with every tasty bite of Beef, Chicken,Pork,Turkey,Moose (best tasting meat in the world),Caribou,Grizzly,Black,Brown bears, Mt. Goat,Elk,Deer,Antelope,Salmon,etc., I consume screams that I am right and you are wrong.
Kind of hard to eat a nice selection of vegies up in Alaska without paying for the importation of them from the lower 48.
Now Moose are every where, including my dinner tonight and I am now in Texas...
The US is a signatory but has not lived up to its obligations to dismantle its stockpile of warheads.
Really??
So the nukes they haul into Pantec and then dismantle are all fake?
I swear some of you really need some Thorazine and then just chill out in the corner...
Do note the warm front emanating from Washington, D.C.
Warm front??
Currently the maps shows this HUGE sucking in from Columbus south. All being pulled into DC at the moment.
As is normal when Congress is in session.
I use a suicide knob to steer with.
Driving an 18 wheeler means I dont care what I am doing, I am always watching out for you idiots that think they know how to drive.
As a layman, I have no idea, but I imagine that having strange weather for a full season will have residual effects somewhere.
I live in Texas and put up with a drought.
Now then it has been hot and it has been cold and right now its been raining for 2 days.
With El Nino Texas was getting bone ass dry.
Now with La Nina are we going to get wet weather or normal?
You think those guys on the side of the road with the orange jumpsuits have a choice about what they're doing? Or the ones making license plates, etc?
Where in the world do you get this stuff from? The Internet???
I worked in the prison systems and very few states have mandatory prisoner work rules.
I would say 98% of the inmates work only because they like money and privileges that come with working.
I know where I worked kitchen inmates ate better than non kitchen workers.
I know that the industry workers made twice what any others made.
I know that a ton of inmates refuse to work and sit and watch TV all day too.
Most work because they want to.
Do what I did for 10+ years.
When I worked as a Correctional Officer I would get jury duty.
Nice gig for me paid $22/hr to sit on a jury and time off from work to boot.
Problem was, defense got rid of you in a blink of an eye, even quicker when you showed up in uniform.
Whoa, Obama is right of center??
Wait a minute there.
Me thinks you need to readjust your pointer.
Right of center is Libertarian area and he aint Libertarian one single bit.
You know Libertarians demand smaller government, hands off approach to everything, Obama and the Democrats are not even there.....yet.
The reason they couldn't get the right-of-ways is because they wanted the mineral and water rights as well; and the reason they wanted the water rights was to suck the ground dry and to ship the farmer's and rancher's water to the big-cities in aquaducts built under the transmission right-of way.
This is correct. He wanted the government to use its power of eminent domain to secure the route and he wanted the land to build a pipeline.
T.Boone already holds hundreds of thousands of acres of water rights to the Ogallala Aquifer.
[quote]
He’s T. Boone Pickens. Yes, that T. Boone Pickens. And he’s gobbling up water rights in Texas.
Pickens’ new company, Mesa Water, has been buying up ground water rights in Roberts County, Texas - 200,000 acres in all.[/quote]
He wanted the power grid to go to Dallas and El Paso and San Antonio....wonder why
I take it your not a Veteran.
Yeah I know Obama said it was the Cadillac of health care but I have had better working for state governments.
The VA system is one of the worse run (bureaucratic-wise) hospital systems ever conceived.
The doctors and nurses are some of the best but those damn pencil pushers are the worse of the worse.
The feds have a system already in place they call it the Public Health http://www.usphs.gov/.
Expand that to include the 45 million without health insurance.
Fund it like Soc Sec so it is always in the hole.
Dont ever hold the VA system up as a shining example of healthcare.
I can list horror story after horror story about the VA system.

Thank God I already have 6 non engraved pins and I will order me another batch of ppins soon before something stupid as this law goes into effect.

it's clear that the big wireless companies are willing to shut down service—but they want the government to offer some direction. "
In other words, as long as it comes from a recognized government official, we'll be happy to comply.
I think that's the same policy telcos have in Egypt and Syria, no?
What it comes down to is that the major telcos want immunity for doing this.
