This went abandoned several years ago (failure to properly respond to a Final Office Action). If only God used his infinite powers to make persuasive arguments.

Frankly, I'm dissapointed that the PTO took his money. He clearly needs psychological help, and even small entity fees add up.

I am not sure this list is real. I couldn't find anything on NASA's website about it, and the Science and Entertainment Exchange say they were not involved: http://blog.scienceandentertainmentexchange.org/2011/01/note-to-our-web-visitors-london-sunday.html

They must be suing for past damages, as unless there is some adjustment/extension for delays at the PTO, that patent is now expired.

Don't know why the Discovery article links to the published application, but here is a link to the actual issued patent: 7,631,404

There is a more important mystery here than whether Newton actually saw an apple fall. Please see this illustration in Stukeley's memoir.

The caption explains what I am seeing: "Newton’s face is shown in profile, in the style of a medallion and supported by a multi-breasted female figure."

The caption does not explain why I am seeing it.

Invitations to and thank you cards from my wedding exceeds 200. That isn't even counting the stamps on the RSVP envelopes.

According to a reliable source, a lack of REM sleep in a group of people will cause them to go crazy and start murdering each other...

They protect the ornamental apperance of the device, and basically are a little bit more formal than trademark/trade dress. They are specifically precluded from protecting any functional or inventive aspect. Basically there's no story here.

Although my first exposure to Linux was much earlier, and was mostly spent learning how the basic commands differed from what I remembered from DOS, my first time actually doing something with Linux was during my undergraduate research, when I ran simulations of high energy particle collisions for the now depressingly delayed ATLAS experiment.

Actually, the [citation needed] was to the claim that the prosecutors on this case were holdovers from the Clinton administration. Even if Bush didn't completely clean house, he certainly had like-minded people to argue on his behalf in the DOJ. From the indictment and press release, you can see the prosecutors in the case were "Principal Deputy Chief Brenda K. Morris, Trial Attorneys Nicholas A. Marsh and Edward P. Sullivan of the Criminal Division's Public Integrity Section, headed by Chief William M. Welch II, and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Joseph W. Bottini and James A. Goeke from the District of Alaska". At least Brenda Morris is a holdover from Bush I. Since you love Google, I'll let you do the rest of the research yourself.

While I could see the enjoyment remaining the same when engaging in CTF or DM multiplayer gameplay, I prefer realism and a good storyline in my single player games. My enjoyment of HL2 would be greatly diminished if, after all they put me through, my revenge on Combine soldiers simply caused them to float away unharmed.
