Software patents hurt any business not just start ups. a long running small business is crippled the minute a software patent stops them being able to innovate.
Software patents stop innovation. It has nothing to do with entering the market. It has everything to with stayin in the market.
Unless you are trying to suggest businesses can go on without continually doing new things.
I want to play Half Life for longer than 30 minutes on my notebook without recharging. Make that possible and all the funding cuts Boosh can think won't be able to stop you.
If a notebook can do what a desktop can do why have a desktop?
And who marked this troll as Interesting I would have given it a Score: Late 1999 era mindset barely preserved, a better troll would have been careful with such exquisite prejudices.
Can we like fire some of these reporters or maybe like you know make them clean up after astronomers have their pizza party so that they can learn to appreciate the work people and what it does for us in the long run?
They fawn over 100's of billions spent on military equipment but they call Hubble an aging camera?
If software patents go forward, say goodbye to the best tool for the job, because every programmer is going to have to jump through hoops to even begin.
It's okay that the way the business works doesn't matter much to you. However, some of us have realized that there is no way to get to the top without doing something partly original, partly useful. And software patents get in the way of both. They patent the useful things by calling them original, so that every original idea will have to be a kludge or inefficient, or even so bizarre as to be unusable.
Wow. They really did spell it that way. All the souls I've led astray. No amount of Windows usage can atone for the misgrammaticalous advice I've given.
I will never RTFA again. Who knows what else I'll find out?

Tax is not right. It is a tool. It's there to make sure that money is available for the needs of that state.

Studio to go. You don't have to line up any ducks, the ducks come pre-lined up.

The simple to read Corporatism alert:
Irgin - the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
Erizon - not so weak flesh
Onage - clear and present danger
See how they like it when no one actually goes into Bustblocker and Mallwart anymore.
but is there actually any use for Tesla coils in one's own home.
Maniacal turing machine... A cross between The Moon is a Harsh Mistress and 2001: A space Odyssey.
1. Alternative energy research (like in TFA)
2. Power consumer devices (like my notebook)
3. Half life with longer battery life
4. Profit

to be linked to a gene unique to CEOs given to periods of hoarding.
Wait that was Verizon... Nevermind ignore this post.
I proclaim that companies shall not use the letter V. Thank you.
Tesla is the mind behind Westinghouse. Edison is the mind behind Edison.
Besides Edison's electrons can kill you, whereas Tesla's are much safer.
Er wait you mean those aren't magic eye things?
And what's with those two gray lines I'm sure they're meaningless.
I'm sure some quantum mechanics geek will figure out how to use the Hall effect to read the disc sideways.

He looks like an evil version of Sean Connery's Bond.
Twin good vs evil is the only cliche that Bond movies haven't used.

If we're looking at the things shouldn't it be astrography?
There is. Last time they said it would hit so I guess the margin is +/- 24 years.

all those Water discovered on Mars stories. Astronomers invented dupes. Or maybe they were trying to give someone a hint.

a bunch of hackers at Burning Man take over the signal and broadcast the goings-on to the entire continent.
Granted, that would put an end to Reality TV shows forever.
You know what I think I like this...
