This may rquire some reform in labour laws first, but...
The USPTO needs to assemble a panel of 4-year-olds. Each time a patent application comes in, the panel would be asked how they would implement the title of the patent (they do not see the content). If the panel comes up with a process resembling the original patent, it would be denied.
Only analogue transmissions overether are stopped. Over 90% of the population have cable already (both analogue and digital). What the article fails to mention is that it only impacts about 70,000 people still receiving analogue signals from the air. Plus, the signal is replaced with digital (DVB-T). So these 70,000 can either get a DVB-T or a satelite receiver.

Why is Windows 2000 not supported? I paid more for Windows 2000 then XP costs, and 2000 is barely 18 montsh older then XP. Can you imagine I and many others feel cheated?
