I had to clean up a vundo and Antivirus 2009 on a few of my relatives computers. The best thing I've found is the Ultimate Boot CD for windows (UBCD for windows). You need a legitimate copy of a Windows OS disc and then it creates a boot CD of a clean fresh new OS with a whole host of tools.
It's a great way to attack the virus from a fresh OS install running off a RAM disk.
Why pin the impending inflation on Obama? The $700 Billion TARP program started under Bush, and some nice legislation (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) got passed during Clinton that may be one of the underlying causes of this housing mess. Some political nerds and/or historians may dig up even more reasons that we're in this mess, but the point is that they're just different sides of the same coin. Why blame one guy, when the whole system is at fault?
The patents for the core x86 could be expired. Patents used to be valid for 17 years from the Patent Date (all patents before June 7, 1978) or 20 years from the filing date, which ever was longer (assuming it was filed before June 7, 1995). Patents filed after June 7, 1995 are now valid for 20 years after the earliest filing date. I picked up this information from: The Impact of GATT on Patent Tactics
In any event, the patents on the SSE extensions, assuming they exist, are probably still enforcable. So maybe AMD loses the ability to used 3DNOW, SSE, etc. No one really knows what's in the cross-licensing agreement. There could be patents on the fab process, or maybe they share industry secrets (is that ever part of cross-licensing?).
IANAL, but I think you're trying to say that if this person writes it down in a journal, or a blog, that this person will not be able to stop someone from patenting it.
If that's what you're asserting, then you're wrong. There's a court case about prior art, which ruled something to the effect that prior art is anything that is accessible by the public (i.e. a PhD dissertation available through a public university library only needs to be available for access, and you do not need to prove that someone actually looked at it or read it after it's been cataloged). Once an examiner finds a reference with a varifiable date that predates a filing by one year, then 35 USC 102(b) is used and it creates a bar for patenting (e.g. the person seeking a patent cannot swear back and come up with evidence that they in fact invented more than one year ago).
In the end, I'm almost positive that blogs can be used as evidence, especially if they provide enough detail and motivation to do something. It might even be best to let archive.org to archive your blog, so that the dates have a second varifiable date attached to it.
Now, if all you meant to address, was that a person cannot get a patent after abandoning, suppressing, or concealing the subject matter, then that is correct. But, I haven't heard of many 102(g)(2) rejections.
I agree with some of your statements, especially the fact there is no audio signal generated by the Guitar Hero "guitar". I'm not sure I agree with the only "4 buttons" claim. For instance, a typical drum only has one surface to hit. If something had 1 button and responded in a way as to make various noises, I would call that an instrument. Also, the abstract means almost nothing in a patent.
The only thing that can be infringed are the claims, and the claims are interpreted as broadly as the specification allows. I haven't read this patent, but the claim says video display, not head-mounted display. So, already I'm assuming they also talk about a regular display in the specification. But, that's also for courts to decide. Either way, I think you pointed out the main problem. The "guitar" does not create an audio signal.
Don't we see balloons over sporting events with big advertisements all the time? They could kill many birds with one stone. Provide advertising to those without internet devices at the big race, or event, and they could serve up lots of ads to those with the wireless access. Seems win-win.
Well some individuals have created a nice chart that you can buy. The Budget Graph
You might notice the center shows some percentages, and my guess is it will more or less go into the slice accounting for the biggest percentage (i.e. National Security/Defense.
They sure can for TB, but TB isn't really a choice. I don't go out and buy a gram of TB and snort it for fun, and I cannot readily go out and catch a cocaine high from someone who didn't wipe their hands right.
I think any good lawyer good argue that a vaccine for a recreational drug is an invasion of privacy, or the like. If I never have the desire to do cocaine and have no history of drug abuse, then why would I need to be vaccinated?
They effectively taxed audio DATs out of the running. They could have replaced tape cassettes or even CDs, but the industry got scared, introduced a large tax on tape and a large tax on DAT recorders with SCMS (serial copy management system). I'm sure the industry remembers this "win" fondly.
I believe the idea is to radiate two or more ultrasonic signals, where the signals are based on transmission length, or desired distance or location to an object. The idea is to create a zone where these two signals interfere with each other and create audible sound waves. So, ideally outside of the zone, there should be no audible interference.
I'm not saying I believe everything wikipedia says, and I'm certainly not a biologist. However, hCG, to me, does not appear to do what you say it does. hCG on wikipedia.org.
Can you show me some facts, beyond this statement? And in any event, if you're right, I still think this article is heavy in conspiracy theory.
The linked article states:
"In the 1990's the UN's World Health Organization launched a campaign to vaccinate millions of women in Nicaragua, Mexico and the Philippines between the ages of 15 and 45, allegedly against Tentanus, a sickness arising from such things as stepping on a rusty nail. The vaccine was not given to men or boys, despite the fact they are presumably equally liable to step on rusty nails as women.
Because of that curious anomaly, Comite Pro Vida de Mexico, a Roman Catholic lay organization became suspicious and had vaccine samples tested. The tests revealed that the Tetanus vaccine being spread by the WHO only to women of child-bearing age contained human Chorionic Gonadotrophin or hCG, a natural hormone which when combined with a tetanus toxoid carrier stimulated antibodies rendering a woman incapable of maintaining a pregnancy. None of the women vaccinated were told. "
Whoops, wouldn't want think about immunizing against neonatal tetanus in developing countries. Seems like this author wants to assume there's a sinister plot to take over the world population. Where's James Bond when you need him?
Looking at the patent US 5572576, it seems to have priority to May or March of 1992. It could be March 31st if the claims are completely supported by the continuation-in-part, but it definitely is supported to 5/12/92 (i.e. it's a continuation of a case that was filed on that date).
I don't know really. I stumbled upon notebookforums dot com and learned about the 9300 upgrade path by accident. They should have a forum for HP notebooks, and maybe someone there can answer your question.
Actually some people can swap out video cards for laptops. I know that a Dell 9300 (it's a 17" model) can upgrade from an ATI x300 (middle of the road then) to a Nvidia 6800go (high end). Some found out that a 7800gtx go could fit in the 9300 too. Sadly, because of BIOS and physical layout issues, that is where it ended for the 9300, but Dell's high end computer, unless they have integrated graphics, can usually swap video cards at least once.
So, in conclusion I think this will probably fit in the Dell's XPS M1730, as it just came out with the Nvidia 8700M graphics card. FYI, you can also get the M1730 with two 8700M cards in SLI, so it might be able to house these in SLI.
You don't specifically need to show that the patent holders had access to the invention. You need to show that they COULD have had access to it. Basically, if a dissertation is published in a college library and indexed so that the general public can find it, then you have prior art. You don't need to show that anyone ever looked at your prior art. Likewise, if archive.org archived your website with your invention before their filing date, or priority date, then you have prior art. You just need to be "published".

I doubt anyone at the patent office other than a classifier has read this. The backlog for cases is really long at about 2.5-3 years. It's calssified in class 705, the Business Method class, and that has an average backlog of 34-106 months. Maybe when this patent application actually gets looked at in a few years, an examiner can have a good laugh too and hopefully reject. Maybe by then "Business Methods" will become unpatentable, who knows (let's hope).
