  1. Patent Trolls and what the law should be on US Top Court Considers Changing Where Patent Cases May Be Filed (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    A.If you claim a patent. And do not implement it. You must give up your patent. B. Patents cannot be vague or wide sweeping. They must be focused and targeted on a single item.

  2. Re:The law was the problem on 'Pirate' Movie Streaming Sites Declared Legal By Italian Court (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Very well put. I feel that the 70+ years of copyright laws is almost your - if not all of your lifespan. So it might as well be infinite.. If the rotten piracy laws triumph.. I will just do without purchasing them because: Charging $2.00 (or less) a movie is more than enough to make a decent profit. More people will be prone to impulse buy it. With a wider buying audience, their profits will be equal, if not better, than what they had before.

  3. Won't people get tired of watch movies with pirates in them?

  4. It will be available as one of the "highest" rent districts. :P

  5. I remember a long time ago a person I used to know had an uncle who needed brain surgery. The surgery went fantastically well. But he died from brain fungus. You are at risk, any time you open the skull. I did a search on Google to see if they have solved the problem, but the results were very discouraging. One was quite unnerving! http://www.livescience.com/477...

  6. I don't thing it's that simple on Elon Musk Launches Neuralink To Connect Brains With Computers (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    Hooking up a bunch of electrodes is not that simple. You might have hundreds, maybe thousands of points to connect, just to start to get things going. (That is, if you could figure out where they are)..And even if you could map the neural pathways of a human brain. Are the paths all the same in each brain? General paths? Yes. Individual paths? I doubt it. Due to brain plasticity it would make things even harder. A brain is not a mass production motherboard.

  7. Skip the phone stuff on London Terrorist Used WhatsApp, UK Calls For Backdoors (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    If you want to keep a free society, what you need to do is think smart. You need more physical protection from vehicles to: sidewalks, crosswalks, parking lot paths, etc. It's going to be a financial pain..

  8. Can't wait to us AI? Heres something! on Laptop Ban on Planes Came After Plot To Put Explosives in iPad (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Have a drone follow behind the airplane. It will be loaded with all the things that can explode. There's your AI.

  9. The Art of being Human on US Workers Face A Higher Risk Of Being Replaced By Robots (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Tell me, which one of you would rather speak to a person? For a bill over the phone? Ordering at a restaurant? Buying a car? A human or a bot? I guess if you have social anxiety disorder this would be great news to you. You may say: "Now it's just going to be the repetitive jobs.." Ahh! But the pendulum does not stop in mid swing!!

  10. This is why voting is so important! on Terrifying Anti-Riot Vehicle Created To Quash Any Urban Disturbance (boingboing.net) · · Score: 1

    It's not what the nominee is promising you, it's what his or her voting record, friends, and previous actions consists of.. Have they made ill choices while voting, doing business? If never in office you better find out who they are! Research!! You vote for the better person. Hopefully, one who cares about all the fate of the people they Serve. Not the kind who serve themselves to money -- Only a Mad Man would put a Murderous Device like this on the street.. And while were on that subject, how are they Immune to prosecution if they kill people?? What? No one is responsible anymore? ..Rubber bullets blind, maim, and kill people too with this "human hamburger maker"!

  11. I looked up Mir and I'm Skeptical on Ubuntu Linux 17.04 'Zesty Zapus' Final Beta Now Available For Download (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Title: 'Mir will cause fragmentation in Linux on desktop' - (You be the judge and tell me if I'm wrong.) I personally like Ubuntu and am worried about this step they are taking. https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir...

  12. Re:German approach on Comcast Launches New 24/7 Workplace Surveillance Service (philly.com) · · Score: 1

    I'll take the German approach over anything else the EwwSA has to offer.

  13. Anonymous - Thank you for your comment on the cloud. The average person on the street hasn't the foggiest notion that "The Cloud" is just someone else's computer. Nothing magical about it.

  14. Kill even more bees?? on Judge: eBay Can't Be Sued Over Seller Accused of Patent Infringement (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Carpenter bees are very good pollinators. Keep a raw plank out for them. Seal and paint the rest of the house. If we lose honeybees were going to need all the pollinators we can find! Proof: http://ucanr.edu/blogs/blogcor...

  15. Sell/Pay on Amazon Wins $1.5 Billion Tax Dispute Over IRS (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    You sell stuff here. You pay your fair share in taxes. End of story!

  16. Don't give them any ideas!

  17. Re:So is this another study that doesn't ... on Alcohol Is Good for Your Heart -- Most of the Time (time.com) · · Score: 1

    Makes me wonder if the rate of drinking is going down because it is not a necessity. They are searching for profit. Same garbage statistics on coffee. They used to have a search on " 100 reasons why coffee is bad for you but they scrubbed it from the Web.

  18. Is your penis cranking slow lately. Sperm lacking those revs it used to have? Well look no further! We that new energy drink to wake that sleeping monster in your pants! You'll have kids pouring out the windows of your house in no time!!*** *** (Not responsible for the bills you will incur after having so many kids)

  19. Wouldn't it be cheaper just to play with magnifying glasses and the real sun? After all, won't the real sun will be used to produce hydrogen? Ahh.. Maybe they had some extra electricity from all those solar cells they have, and had nothing better to do with it.

  20. I thought they were offering you a whole set of movies for that kind of cash!! Don't they realize that you like more than one movie?? Or is this for the upper $250.000/yr class? ..The soda and popcorn prices alone, will kill you at a movie with your kids. Someone is raking in to much money in Hollywood.

  21. It's a question of how fast you can build a wall before someone tears a hole though it. Security is only temporary.

  22. Re:OK in Barstow, but ... on 'Dig Once' Bill Could Bring Fiber Internet To Much of the US (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I agree that condensation will eventually seep in and condense into water. But ingenious planning could overcome it. Use positive ventilation, guarded from bringing in more humidity, snow, bugs, dirt, and rain system to the pipes underground. Solar power it - it will activate on the "good days". If necessary, leave access points to easily slide new optic fiber, wrapped in low friction plastic and points where the fiber needs welding. Nothing is perfect. But it will be awfully close to being permanent. Nothing is permanent in this world.. earthquakes and land movement will see to that.

  23. I've heard that up to 27% of who you are arguing with in those places are Bots. So good luck on de-tangling the mess they put out.

  24. Eww Patents on Patents Are A Big Part Of Why We Can't Own Nice Things (eff.org) · · Score: 1

    Patents have become the slimy anchor, that keeps innovations, progressions, and stifles us from doing anything good! (Originally, they were given for a number of years and then expired. This gave the company a chance to recoup the money invested in research, development and production of the product. Patents used to be a good thing.)

  25. Does is cost extra electricity to keep the 2 options on?
