Well, then you need to brush up on your knowledge. With DRM, you're paying for access to an item, not the item itself. For example, if you buy a bunch of games through Steam (digital content provider, if you don't know), and you die, nobody else can use what you bought (unless they access your account, which in itself…

Ah, but I specifically left out the key part: you didn't do anything with it in between the time you patented it, and when the patent was awarded. This happens all the time, and is one of the highlighted parts of why our patent system is so screwed up.

IANAL but AFAIK (daily acronym quota met!), in the US, first-to-market is overridden by patent application date. Such that, if you apply for a patent in 2005, and a device using your as-of-yet unpatented tech is released in 2008, and then you are awarded your patent in 2009, you can then turn around and sue the makers…

Fair assessment, I'll give you that. It appears that Roddick was heralded as the next big thing after Agassi, so the hype machine ran with it. Were the big three not around during this time, I think the Majors would be more like on the women's side, where there never seems to be one person dominating, and every Major…

That's all well and good, but what if you don't know that its a bug. I mean, sure, if its glaringly obvious, its hard to claim ignorance, but what if its not?

True, however, if it wasn't made clear that it was a bug, then how can the player be held accountable for exploiting it?

So where in their ToS does it say that I, as a player, am not allowed to buy low and sell high, especially considering I'm not even informed of the fact that its a bug/exploit at the time? That's what I'm getting at.

In a tabletop RPG wouldn't the game master or whatever have the right to penalize the player or whatever?

True, but nothing in the TOS says, in this instance, that I shouldn't be able to buy low and sell high, for example. From what I understand, there was no announcement saying "hey, this exists and is an exploit, don't do it."

I get it, but apparently (again, this is according to reviews, not personal experience) there are too many/too big differences between the two, to the point where it feels like a mostly unrelated game just happening to be in the same place with the same people. Mass Effect, et. al. are all a continuing story, and the…

Not to be snarky, but Roddick did hold #1, however short a time it may have been. Blake, while a good player on his own, made it as high as #4 and has been on a much more dramatic decline than Roddick.

So, to sum up:

GRIFBAWW

Why not helicopter + airplane?

Trouble is, this isn't the Extreme Right; this is The Right. The Extreme Left doesn't get as much press because there aren't as many, I would guess, or maybe they just aren't all that extreme...

That's amazing. It also costs 7x more than I paid for my TV...

Hmm. If only the whole screen curved slightly inwards. That would be the quintessential super-wide screen monitor, since my dual-monitor setup is a shallow V, not flat across.

I'm sorely disappointed by the lack of any V6 Mustangs, since that '66 doesn't count...

Welp, you've won the Internet for the rest of the month.

Ah ok. Well no matter, I found it and its all better now.
