I'm aware that they still produce standard bricks, but their 'custom' creations used to be made primarily of standard bricks. Nowadays they're mostly custom pieces.

Yes, but just like yelling 'Fire!' in a crowded theater and inciting a riot, not all speech is protected. If it is ever determined that your presence is less about 'message' and more about 'profit', that "peaceful" status tends to disappear pretty quickly.

You know, it used to be that LEGO were composed of mostly the same pieces over and over and over again. Now it seems that every set has some sort of custom part/piece, and that the number of varieties of pieces has increased exponentially.

The mouse is showing up as $69.91 for me, a Prime member.

Sounds like their actions are predicated on 'causing a lawsuit' which, by it's own definition would be grounds for dismissal of said lawsuit. I'm wondering how well this tactic will work once more attention is brought to the public arena, and the defense lawyers find a way out of this instead of settling out of court.

Just out of morbid curiosity, but can anybody decipher what the rationale was for this step towards invalidation? The article isn't loading correctly for me, and I'm curious if it was an existing tech or too broad or something else?

Then you'd get PR to tell everybody that holding it in any other way would be incorrect, and they'd approve the slogan of "You're holding it wrong." Thereby forcing everybody to use their patented techniques.

Depends on what you call 'maintenance'. I've got an 86 K5 Blazer, original engine, original transmission, original everything except interior and AC. The only things I've done on it since 2003 when I bought it has been to change the brakes, bulbs and fluids.

Your tablet more than likely has a 10 amp plug, your phone has a 1.5A plug. Your phone will charge wonderfully when connected to your tablet's plug, but your tablet will barely stay afloat with your phone's plug.

Wait, you want a bento, or a Japanese babysitter? I'm confused.

LPG? That's just a fancy word for Propane.

Yeah, as Condescending pointed out, he threatened someone and their family. Definitely needs criminal charges pressed and needs never to work in a school setting again.

I could walk into a place and hit someone with a bat too. But that doesn't mean people should stop complaining because my 'service' is free.

You are aware that Samsung is quite a diversified company. Their semi-conductor business alone does more business than Apple does in it's entirety.

I can't respond to the virtual/drone aspect, but I can tell you that PTSD appears differently in different people and as such requires different kinds of treatments, and it's not necessarily limited to those in the military, or the ones pulling the trigger, as it were. I'd imagine that many of the police officers…

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Back in the day, we used to actually flip cars that did this. Heck, with VW bugs it only took two people.
