Can you give some examples of algorithms that are patented? Thanks.

Learn about Binary Search Trees, Red Black Trees, Bubble Sort, Quick Sort, Heaps, etc. Those are the important things to know. Bob Dylan is not famous for knowing English grammar and spelling. He is famous for what he does with them. Teach him Chinese, and he can most likely make amazing songs in Chinese as well. You didn't go to college to learn grammar and spelling. You can learn that in elementary school. Instead, you're going to college to learn how to use the language to create amazing things. It is an abstract level above the syntax level you see on the computer screen, and it is something crucial that anyone learning anything in college _must_ understand.
iPhone gets wifi at home, Starbucks,
My Thinkpad X61's touch point is perfect. It's in the middle of the keyboard, so there is minimal hand movement to move the mouse when typing. It moves much better than the touchpad because you don't need to reload once you reach the edge of the sensitive location. It also takes up very little room, so it works on the plane, etc.
All the male humans can die, and the females can still live on. Now, that is a big deal.
Yup, you're right. I read the number wrong haha. 1936 makes sense because it was around Great Depression time when Social Security was a good idea.
Excellent example. Bad laws are bad because it is possible to break them even when the lawbreaker is doing the right thing. However, striking a bad law down does not require an actual test case to show that a bad law is bad. A test case may help, but it is not necessary. Therefore, it is complete to say that bad laws get struck down when the legislative branch smartens up and changes them. The legislative branch may smarten up by seeing test cases of people breaking them, or it may just smarten up by thinking a law through and not seeing any test cases. Either way, bad laws get struck down.
Oh yes, that is a good idea. Going perpendicular to the field results in no force. Unhooking it would need the magnetic field, though. It is always interesting how people use the environment to supplement the necessary tools for the robot to do its job. Hard to see, but delicious when seen.
The summary confused me, so I looked it up, and it is true. Veins bring blood towards the heart. Arteries bring blood away from the heart. I always thought blood flows pretty fast, so the robot would need quite a bit of magnetic force to go against the blood friction. If it finds a clot, can it ram its way through like a battering ram? That would be cool.
but not one of them can kill me!
Fingerprints are used already for identification, but they are not foolproof because you leave them everywhere, and people can try to make a mold of it. There are other body parts that are not touched as much... such as toe prints! They are always inside a shoe so they are secret, and if they do not change much over the years, make an excellent identification card.
Social Security Numbers have been around since 1963 (says Wiki). Technology has extended us so much. We can count to numbers we could not have dreamed of in 1963. Why don't we give each person a public and private key, like in Gmail? You'll have to hurt me to get my password! Or we can get those cool chips inserted into our fingers that are individual to us. If the scammer in Nigera wants to know my information, what better way of protecting me than not letting me know my own information. The chip knows it, and it's inside me! If you want to identify me, you'll must have one of those devices that are only available in places like banks and jails. Yay for technology! Yay for toe prints!
Variables don't; constants aren't.
