to understand "leveraging a monopoly in one sector to gain an advantage in another sector", - M$ft are masters of the "if you can't dazzle them with brillance, blind them with bullshit" game - heck, I use technical obfuscation myself sometimes to get my way, if you can get your judge to think, "Hmmm, I don't understand, so he must be right." The problem in the M$ft case is they finally came up against someone who wouldn't fall for that crap. This idea smacks of jury packing. It's doesnt' matter if you monopoly is a railroad, an electric company, a waterworks, or DOS - technical competance has nothing to do with it. Msft had plenty of opportunity to interpret their case to the judge, and explain just how integrating an add on commodity internet browser into their monopoly OS was NOT an anticompetitive act to give their backward (at the time) product a leg up in the market, just as integrating a word processor into their monopoly OS would be anticompetitive in the word processor application market.

Thank you very much for the electronic notification of your new Internet based service for making money fast while working at home. As far as I'm concerned you may take this offer, print it on sandpaper and insert it into your backside rectal cavity. It's personages of incredibly low intelligence quotient, such as yourself, that give legitimate e-commerce a bad name. Perhaps you may consider opening the window on the top floor of a skyscraper and take a flying leap? Should these notifications continue, you illegitimate offspring of a female canine in heat, I'll be left with no choice but to resort to application of a tire iron to your obviously mentally challenged cranium.
Your attention to this matter, you festering pile of pidgeon droppings, would be greatly appreciated.
Patent applicants can do prior art research to get an idea of how likely their invention is going to get rejected, but unless the evidence is very clear most people just send in the application - esp. if the former employeer is footing the legal bills to get your name on a patent (a nice addition to any resume). That is to say, most applications are worded very broadly in the first draft anyway, get rejected, then resubmitted with narrower claims, etc. This from a former PTO employee who remembers the instructions, "you have to/broaden/ your thinking", meaning an invention realized in silicon can still be rejected if you can find prior art of the same invention realized in wood or something. The fact that the PTO is unable to keep up with the rapid pace of technological development, letting stuff thru that's 'obvious' (to techno-literate folks) or otherwise flawed shouldn't effect your decision. I'd sign it - it could still be shot down by the examiner or later a judge.
that's why I hotwired it and drove it off the lot one night, honest your honor, it's not my fault!
One car dealer has this slogan: "I'd give them away but my wife won't let me"
I tell potential employers, "I'm not a free man, I'm expensive"
I think what ppl are getting at with the "wants to be free" slogan (and who could be against freedom??) is the low cost of copying, compared with purchasing an official license - something that costs $499 only takes a few minutes and a.50 cent platter, why is this so expensive? It's so easy and natural, the limitation is a purely artifical human contrived scheme to limit supply and keep demand and prices up. I always have to giggle when I order a copy of MSft OFFICE and am told they are out of stock, har har. I just put 'em on backorder and install from another disk, at least a license is on the way. But Msft is going to turn real fascist and enforce electronic registration so we can't even do that as a way to get around their user inconvience problem.
Depending on the college, an 'above average' student might do better on his own, instead of having to go thru a curriculum that's been 'dumbed down' for whatever their accepted level of accomplishment is. For instance, I was the 'curve buster' at my school, and one professor stated he could do two things 1) proceed at a rapid pace to satisfy the smarter students actually interested in the subject, and leave a trail of dead bodies behind, or 2) proceed slowly so everyone gets by - of course he chose option #2, thus not challenging me.
