Sun Tzu said "I would rather have one good spy than 10,000 soldiers."

Sadly, I thought the Pres. was going to do this 5 years ago.

If you don't care for and train them early they will bite the hand that feeds them.

"If it is not part of the deal then leave it off your resume."

Anyone doing a basic quick 2 minute search on the web or USPTO.gov is going to find not only patents you hold, but also patent applications you have filed which are still in process.

I would simply state "I hold XX patents and patent applications I own personally in my field of work." It is part of your expertise and an indication you are capable of innovating. Let a lawyer help you with how you respond to questions on the patents.

Legally binding = You are in the pile of creditors!

Minimal effort to move me and my backpack full of whatever.

Musks 'Mars Vision' has human physiological limits that are unknown.

No one has proved that human eyes can survive the length of a space irradiated trip to Mars & back. All we know is lengthy stays in space degrade astronaut's eyes.

Tried to read a EULA online the other day. Before I was half way through, it timed me out and dropped me off the web page.

In other words, they DON'T want you to READ THE DAMN THING, and if you try to read it, they don't want you as a customer.

MS is catching up!

No!

"Based on my government funded grant, we are going to have"

"global warming by 2012" then ...

"global change by 2012" then

"rising CO2 levels causing more hurricanes" then

Finally a restudy of the data shows that "temperatures have actually gone down over the last 15 years"

"I need another grant!"

I don't buy isolated VR as a learning tool for wide use.

I have had an examiner on a recent patent application who was not knowledgable in the required physical-geometric structures.

She insisted that a straight object was actually a helix! My patent attorney and I explained the difference, but she and her boss ignored the plain geometric truth and refused to budge and threw out my claims.

I'ld rather have a high level of competence and accept some level of goofing off. You do need a break once in awhile to stay sane.

Science Fiction author? At least that is what I thought.

Evidence from our oribital flights gives plenty of evidence of tissue damage in space from both lack of gravity and radiation. We can't reasonably do much about the radiation without having massively heavy spacecraft which does not seem practical.

Well, the MS lock-in may just be starting to fray enough to make a difference.
