Reference checking. How does that work?

Well, this page says there are actually about 300,000 patents across 3 categories, plus an additional 150,000 to "foreign residents". So that's about 450,000.

Also, the applications for patents is about double those numbers.

Factor that by 8,000 patent examiners, and they each both approve and disapprove just over one per week.

It's catwalks all the way up.

No no. Ex-co-workers.

You still can't accept the fact that Obama has been in office for five years, and accomplished nothing he promised in regards to improving the government.

If the problem was simply that Bush had appointed idiots to run departments, Obama could have flushed most of them out immediately, and forced the rest to be replaced by now. Except of course, that would require two things: time spent doing his job rather than golfing, ability to actually be an executive.

As Micheal Moore recently said, one hundred years from now Obama's record is going to be, "He was the first black president."

She had a job before being on the Supreme Court.

I'm just mentioning this, in case you were born yesterday.

Flamebait?
Overrated?
Offtopic?

Someone really has a hard on for this stupid buggy. Can't even let a couple jokes about it go.

Thank you.

No, but it does carry The Club. So no joyriding Venusians can steal it when it's parked overnight.

Your view of what laws are wrong probably does not coincide with my view of such things.

However, the one view that matters is the government's view, because they will arrest you, fine you, imprison you, if they don't like how you treat their laws. Right or wrong.

Yes, but some students may sneak aboard and sabotage it before the demonstration.

Would you want your house destroyed by lased popcorn?

Oh come on. Even I know what you are saying.

I caught the or/for thing, but not the acronym. Thanks for asking. We're all enlightened now. :^)

Hey, we all have those days. Right?

I always lash my venomous cows, so I can get toxic whipped cream.
