My biggest issue with this review is that Due Date was a surprisingly hilarious movie.  Between Two Ferns and Iron Man is a winning combination.  Don’t hate.

Just FYI - I bought the first version of batman the animated series when it was released on blu-ray + digital.  At the time, they messed up the digital rights and you were getting an SD only copy.  It’s a small thing but... enough for me to return it.  Hopefully it’s fixed but people should be aware of the risk if…

From the NPR article:

Echoing giswakerotaku. The US military, the best funded in the world, had something like $600billion dollars to spend on: Tanks. Airplanes. Bombs. Grenades. Etc. How do you think that the citizens would fight back if it came to that? Even if we let all citizens buy assault rifles, we would lose. Overthrowing the…

What a pointless and sexist term. I typically explain things in a condescending way, to men and women, young and old. 

There are a couple of teriyaki places in the international district in Seattle that serve macaroni salad but I don’t think it is the norm. It’s definitely a Hawaiian thing. This is just Kevin’s experience. All the places I frequent (and most I have seen) offer a simple iceberg salad.

Insurance pools set premiums by assessing individual risks. The individual mandate is designed specifically to force young, healthy people into that insurance pool that would normally self select out. If you want your premium to go down, your grandparents premiums to go down, your unemployed cousin, etc. You need to…

Almost $7k for a pressure washer seems like a lot.

It has everything to do with the government’s role in managing the economy. What incentive does it create for the children of wealthy individuals to contribute to society if they can live off of the success of their great, great, great grandfather’s (or mother’s) railroad investment.

Hasn’t that been a feature on every mobile phone for years - even pre smartphones?

Just curious - why not fly?

If they file the infringement suit in Britain, the ruling only apply to any revenue Valve makes IN BRITAIN. Patents are not some magical international tool to tax people in all countries. Us patents only work in the US, etc..

I didn’t look at the asset in question, but I wonder if that is why the author originally thought they had abandoned the EPO patent. Software patents are MUCH harder to get in Europe.

The PCT was designed to streamline the patent application process and reduce jurisdictional overhead (filing effectively the same patent in 10 different countries). As far as I know, there are no mutual enforcement claims. Although the US often pushes trade partners to increase the strength of IP laws, that is not…

Unfortunately that’s not how patent law works. Patents are a right to exclude, in specific markets where the patent is valid. If the inventor only ends up getting a US patent issued, and it’s found to read on NMS, any revenue made by the company in the US would be potentially on the table for…
