    Hmm, the place I saw them was an old movie theatre with the seats removed, I think it was called The Strand. It wasn't an intense mosh bit, was rather relaxed as far as mosh pits go, just a few idiots.

    Slymentra hymen was fingering herself when I looked up, as a teen that was pretty cool.

    He has a degree in law and a degree electrical and computer engineering.

    He has worked with IBM both as an engineer and as a lawyer.

  6. Re:He's a lawyer, what do you expect? on USPTO Head: Current Patent Litigation Is 'Reasonable' · · Score: 2

    What I did not expect is that he actually has an educational and career background in technology.

    Then again he probably has quite a few patents himself.

    I prefer to just pick up old cds at half price books and other places used cds are sold. Starting to get the physical copies of what I pirated.

    Then you would have been modding incorrectly.

    If someone is wrong you don't mod them down, you explain why they are wrong, that is why there is not a -1 Wrong option.

    Naw, it only colored the contact lens, not the whites of my eyes, now that would have been REALLY cool.

  10. Re:Wonder how much Apple stock he owns? on USPTO Head: Current Patent Litigation Is 'Reasonable' · · Score: 4, Insightful

    He does have a vested interest in not changing things, changing things would require work and all he wants is a paycheck, and once he goes back to the private sector he is going to get some absolutely massive paychecks if the system he wants to game is not changed.

    I agree Gwar concerts are some of the most fun concerts one can go to.

    I still remember going to the "When the shit hits the fans" tour, my contacts were dyed bright blue for around a month from all the stuff they sprayed the crowd with. My eyes were already very blue, this made them damn near glow.

    Your job if you choose to accept it is to scour the internet for those posts and

    1) Make those posts public knowledge.

    2) Out those who made the posts

    And please post here with the results, I'd love to see what you come up with.

    Yea, there is a reason the Dick never wanted anyone to know where he was.

    We need to end racism in society by stopping racism from being the crime. End all racism, sexism etc. We need a society that treats all people the same, regardless of who they hate

    The laws were established because we as a society do not treat all people the same, in fact parts of society not only wants to see the other part die, they want to see them die a gruesome and painful death.

    I probably did at some point.

  18. Re:Will not RTFS on Sinofsky Dismisses Trying To Take Over Windows Phone, Developers · · Score: 1

    I think the only thing you can really do to impact them is to start spamming a thread, not just alone, but with lots of members, and don't do it as an AC, let them know it is members of this site that are upset.

    They'll ban you, but you'll probably make an impact.

    Boycotting thread due to slashdot linking to itself. Stop the stupidty.

    You viewed the discussion and then you went a step further and commented in the discussion. You aren't very good at boycotting.

    Violence is just the low hanging fruit of applying robotic vision, well low hanging fruit that pays very well.

    There are many applications for this, whether it helps a computer to guide a blind person though a crowded lobby, allowing a driverless car to be safer and more efficient, or even warning you that your car is about to be hit by another car.

  22. Re:As a developer, usage matters to me on Android Hits 73% of Global Smartphone Market · · Score: 1

    True, however there are people out there looking for a great 'texting phone', and those people are looking for the lowest priced option. They aren't buying apps because they aren't interested in apps - rather than they aren't buying apps because the phone was cheap.

    Cheap 'texting phones' tend not to be smart phones and therefor they buy no apps.

    This is a 'texting phone'

    Fact is most Android phones are the low-price, low-margin variety that are used almost exclusively for texting.

    The price of the device does not determine how many apps are purchased nor the price at which apps are purchased.

    Please don't lump faithful Catholics who believe all life is sacred (and do something about it) with the political religious who treat abortion like some kind of theological football.
