FBI raid and arrest everyone in the SWAT team, put them in prison and charge them with Racketeering. Do it very public, invite the media and make these scumbags a lesson to cops across the country that they work FOR the citizens and must act as "public servants" and not a street gang.

The Military Is About To Get New Augmented Reality Spy Glasses 58

schwit1 writes in with this story about some interesting new eyewear purchased by the Defense Department. Getting secret information to specific people, like the location of the nearest nuclear power plant, in a way that doesn't draw attention from outside is a classic spy problem. Another one is giving agents the ability to match names to faces in the real world, at blackjack tables and fancy soirees and other places spies frequent. The Defense Department is buying some new spy specs to give spooks in the field an intelligence edge over everybody else. The glasses, called simply the X6, are from San Francisco-based Osterhout Design Group. They look like the lovechild of Google Glass and the Oculus Rift, providing more information to the wearer than the small window on Google's much-maligned headset but not obstructing vision like the Oculus Rift. (Admittedly, for spy glasses, they lack a certain subtlety.)

I would agree with you if the world did not have Corporations in it. I had to patent them to protect myself. Otherwise IBM would have taken my idea, patented it themselves and then sued me for selling my own invention.

Until Patent reform is real you MUST file your own patents to protect yourself because All corporations are 100% evil and will fuck you over if you give them the chance.

Why do you think TESLA has patents that they allow others to use for free? Because if they did not patent them, someone else would and use it as a weapon against them.

and if a small time company came to me saying. " we really want to use your patent" I would (and have) negotiate a very, very, reasonable contract with them. IBM or HP? they get to pay me through the nose because they can afford to.

Want success? Learn how to SCHMOOZE and be a salesman.

CEO's are stupid as boxes of rocks, but they can sell themselves and talk others into doing things and convince people they know what they are doing.

Corporate success is 90% bullshit and 10% smarts.

On a side note, if you have an IQ of 150-170 and are not doing your own research or tinkering to come up with something new, you are wasting your brain. Start tinkering, start building, there HAS to be something you know you can do better or build better.

I have several patents under my belt, no I'm not making buttloads of money off of them but I created something that makes the world better. I also build and do things that others can not do. I can modify and reprogram Car ECM systems in my sleep, 90% of the automotive engineers at GM cant do what I can do. (Note: I did work for GM for a short time, 100% of their management is populated with raging low IQ assholes so I quit in less than 30 days) And I learned all this by hacking and tinkering.

So get off your ass and start doing. Smart people do not become CEO unless daddy had billions already (Elon Musk for example) Build things, hack things, modify things. I know a lot of high IQ people and they all have one thing in common. Being lazy. Smartest guy I know wastes most of every day playing Xbox and smoking pot.

Your failures are your own, and your success is also your own. What do you want more of?

The primary distinguisher of the Ivy League schools isn't that they're rich or that they're exceptionally high quality (though generally they are.) They're a group of colleges that a century or so ago made an agreement with each other not to have athletic scholarships, so the students could play amateur sports against each other instead of having to compete with semi-professionals. Yes, occasionally a student at the Ivies is good enough to get into the NFL or NHL, but they've got to spend time being a student as well.
