It's not because we're Republicans that we hate you.
It's because you're a ranting dolt that we hate you. And you smell bad. And dress worse. Plus, it wouldn't hurt to brush your teeth once a day at least, and shave those 7 whiskers you grow on your chin - nobody likes patchy hipster beards. Nobody. Including your mom, regardless of what she shouts down the basement stairs to your "command station".
- The GOP
PS: the Libertarians and Democrats asked us to not send you their way - they don't want want to associate with you either. Can't say we blame them. Who knew it would take a loathsome beast like you to unite the political parties...
Of course it is - after all, the Obama Administration has been railing about the gender gap when it's leading the way in keeping the gender gap alive... Another case of our President being "do as I say, not as I do".
To the best of my knowledge, not a single person infringed on the patent. About 90% of the revenue that IV makes is not from suing for infringement - but from licensing out blocks of existing IP (solutions) to companies interested in certain sectors. My one licensed patent was in energy storage, and was licensed with a few hundred other patents in alternative energy solutions - presumably by someone interested in working in that industry.
Personally, I feel great about that patent. I was given the resources needed to research a new area, I came up with a novel solution, I earned the patent, I was paid for it - and now people are licensing it to consider using it. It's always great when your ideas can come to fruition. Of course, I also hold many other patents as well (personally) and license several of those out, and make good money doing so (they are implemented regularly by a few dozen major consumer electronics firms). It's a much better return than the patents I've created whilst on the payroll of a company, where it might be $500 and a certificate - and nothing more...
Interesting. Have you done any licensing deals (as inventor or licensee) with IV? I have. At the time, it was $10,000 per invention filed. Oh, and 15% of the gross revenue for any license fees they receive for that patent (or, if a group of patents, like 100, you get 15% of 1/100th of the total licensing fee paid)
So far, of the few I've gotten with IV (started doing some work with them back in 2008, in areas outside my normal area of expertise), one has been licensed and I do get a nice annual check from them. I'm not sure how I see this is a downside as I was able to get paid for creating in an area I wasn't working, and continue to do so. Kind of like this normal thing called "work", except for my off-hours tinkering in other fields.
I recently started a new tech company. One of my business cofounders knows essentially nothing about engineering, tech, or production - but he is a heck of a sales and marketing guy. Just because he cofounded a tech company does not mean he understands tech - at all. Just like being a CTO does not mean you know anything about marketing and sales.
Funny, I didn't realize that Fox News was the PR agency for the Senate - you know, the body of Congress that actually approves the President's nominations (the House has nothing to do with the process). Perhaps a brush-up on civics is in order?
That Act will go down in American history as the single, most damaging, threat to liberty in this country. Billions spent, law abiding people treated like criminals without due process. It truly makes me ashamed and angry at DC and the retards that reside there.
Huh. Same could be said for the Income Tax amendment. Except I bet more people have not only been inconvenienced, but arrested, jailed, and penalized under the IRS codes than the Patriot Act.
Nuclear launch codes. Names of operatives working in war zones. Names of undercover investigators working in drug/mafia groups. The keypad codes to enter pretty much any weapons facility. I can go and on if you like...
Exchanges/telcos are regulated and controlled at the State and Federal level, levels well above local police. Your local police officer can get a part-time magistrate in traffic court to approve bricking your cellphone. To do that with an exchange would take a State or Federal circuit court judge (something well above the reach of your average police chief).
Welcome to Ambisonics!. Most ambisonic systems include 8 speakers, arrayed as you describe (and many go or 16, with two speakers in the center of each wall, at the floor/wall and wall/ceiling junctions.
UV stabilizers (like Addivant's products) give you UV resistance similar to nylon and other long-UV-life materials. And given the massive impact strength of polycarbonate, it becomes a natural for use in applications like helmets.
You really should learn a bit about polycarbonate - better known as Lexan (that's the Sabic trademark for PC). It's extremely durable, very shatter resistant, highly UV resistant, and generally THE choice for fighter aircraft canopies (which have just a little bit of UV exposure). Snell itself says there are many polycarbonate, Snell-rated helmets on the market.
How much mass would a Dyson sphere require? My guess is a few orders of magnitude beyond that of a star. Consider the volume occupied by a sphere at 1 AU from its star. That would be a rather large amount of mass on its own. And that would reduce the number of Dyson spheres required to exist to account for the dark matter.
You could easily plug your washer into the car for the necessary short burst of juice, and then let the car charge back up from the sun.
But how do I get my car down my stairs? The stairwell to the basement is too small...

Likewise yourself. A mostly lifelong (until the last 3 years) resident, born and raised in Ballard. And I can tell you unequivocally that Seattle is extremely Democrat biased, and the city leans heavily to the left - exceedingly so. Puget Sound as a whole closely mirrors Seattle, and that makes the entire State lean so far Democrat that it exceeds the national margin of GOP/DEM voting results by several points. Washington is one of the most solidly Democrat states there are. Outside the rural districts in Eastern Washington (with extremely limited population), Washington is a guaranteed Democrat win - every election.
Just an additional $250 per man, woman, and child in Seattle. You know, the people who get to pay for it... At least the minimum wage will bump to $15 per hour so those low-income families will get to see a good chunk of their supposed raise going to solve a problem that could have been avoided from day one...

No, this is healthcare we're talking about. Pin and paper. Use the pin to prick your finger, and sign the paper.

Finished? We're sending more troops to Iraq, as well as increasing airstrikes. Hardly over, it's escalating back up...

Snell itself says there are many polycarbonate, Snell-rated helmets on the market.
Additionally, all Shoei shields (as well as pretty much everyone else's shields) are polycarbonate. In testing, polycarbonate helmets tend to transmit less energy into the brain, because it flexes better than fiberglass/carbon fiber. It's a great material, great for impact resistance, stable, and fairly lightweight.
