Dude. Patent law is only a third, a quarter really, although trade secrets are pretty analogous, of patent law. And patent trolling is only a small part of patent law that’s cropped up recently with the proliferation of high technology const products and big pharma. You know not of what you speak.

This is a profoundly shitty take.

The “background” part of that is what makes it more egregious, though. The article only touches on it, but the faces on the background of the shirt are stolen, as well.

Your team sucks.

You’re ruining deadspin.

Take it up with Peter Thiel. I for one am glad that part of Gawker period com is still alive and well.

Koeman is a fucking boss

So many times a week does everyone accidentally go to Gawker? I’m sitting at 2-4. Slowly getting better.

That’s pretty much the exact explanation given by one of the screenwriters. It boiled down to ‘who are we set to offend the least with this casting?’

We’re America. Extreme over-confidence is kind of what we do. I mean, our very inception was a giant middle finger to an empire. “Brash” is our thing.

The amount of delusion from many American fans regarding our professional league and international team is staggering.

Yah I just read about it. So basically the Italians cut him a deal if he would say she did it. And of course there was the prosecutions ever-changing narrative that started with “Satanic Rituals” of which were proven by the presence of Japanese comics.

I have not forgotten Meredith, but the way her parents were so certain of Knox’s guilt — and are to this day — in spite of a total lack of believable motive and evidence really bothers me.

The wikipedia article is an okay place to start.

I’ve read so much about this case and simply DO NOT UNDERSTAND how so many people still think she’s guilty. Maybe it’s because I lived in Italy and can totally imagine how convoluted the entire justice system is. Italy has had like 60 governments since WWII. Only one Italian government has lasted a full five-year term…

I mean, the whole time they had the guy who did it, they just wanted to pick on an American too. The Italian justice system is totally fucked up. They accept astrology as evidence! They truly believe in Satanic cults, stuff that’s been disproved in most civilized nations for decades. Remember the Satanic Panic? Italy…
