Comment Why can't this be done in the US? (Score 1) 317

Because of two major pieces or legislation: Environmental Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act. That created legal attack vectors on large hydro projects in the US and made things like Salmon and the Snail Darter tools to prevent projects from being built or disassembling those already in place. That's why.

Comment Swedish Charges/British Charges (Score 4, Insightful) 169

There's two dimensions here, first there's the Swedish charges and certainly if the prosecutors can question him in the Ecuadorian embassy then that's great, however he still fled and violated the conditions of his bail while awaiting extradition proceedings in the UK. That's still a problem for him.

I think Ecuador is going to ship a large "diplomatic pouch" about the size of a refrigerator sometime soon because he has to be stinking up the embassy by now.

Comment In other news from the future.. (Score 0) 274

Lockheed Martin announced today that they've had a huge security breech where 10s of thousands of documents and designs from advanced weapons may have been stolen by foreign agents. At this time the FBI does not know where these agents originated their attack from but is investigating.

In other news, North Korea has just announced that it will demonstrate it's new 30KW laser system dubbed "We kill you America!" Analysts at the DoD are still wondering how the isolated nation managed to catch up so quickly to the US.

it's already happened in the past folks.. http://www.darkreading.com/ris...?

Comment Re:BS - You can't patent algorithms (Score 1) 88

How can a guy get a patent for a method to exercise cats with a laser pointer? It happens and there's always one patent examiner who doesn't do the job correctly, but that's the overall problem with patent reform right? Laws change, rulings can be overturned but for now at least you can't patent an algorithm. You can patent a software invention however that uses algorithms but that software invention must be innovative and unique.
