Company X patents government.

Company X today has patented the business process know as 'government'. Governments are now required to give X dollars in license feeds per year to Company X in order to stay a sovereign country. Failure to pay fees will result in abandoning you right to sovereignty and becomming a subsideary of Company X. USPTO's response said that this will spur inovation and development of countries by helping them all work as one instead of all the different types there are today.

Aparently America has already forgot to pay the fees....lol, i kid,i kid....maybe ;)

I see alot of votes for #1 (SciFi trying to ignore science). Why does Science Fiction have to be based in the 'Current' known science?? I thought that was the whole reason for the 'Fiction' part????? Currently 'Warp Techonology' is not based in any real science(theory yes...but not on the level the show is showing), is that a reason to rip on all the Star Trek shows and such?
I throught science fiction was suppose to go beyond current science and let the current scientists try and see if it is possible?

Quote "The county is in the second year of a six-year program that will bring in more modern and reliable equipment."

Reliable?!?!?! If this thing was built back in the 70s and just now has crashed badly....how much more reliable could you be? I can't get a modern motherboard to last more then 5-7 years before something goes wrong with it....if i'm lucky.

Ah if only I could just use find/replace and find all 'Intel' in the article and change them to 'ISP X' then it would be a good day... Seriously, they should be going after the much more monoploistic ISPs in this country then Intel.

They want a High-tech cure to fix the problem of High-tech gadgets in the cars?? Does anyone else see the irony here? How about make it not worth the trouble to use the gadgets in the first place. Example: (Let's say....5% or your yearly income if caught txting while driving; or if you hit someone while txting, insurance it not required to pay anything and YOU have to pay for all damages). I bet you would see a lowering of people that are txting while driving in that example. That's the biggest problem with traffic laws...the penalties are WAY too small to be an effective deterrent.

I have the fat gene....can i get a discount from McDonald's then since the gene is causing me to spend more money on food then i can afford?

I don't know about the rest of you but on a dual core processor, Flash uses anywhere from 50-75% CPU usage most of the time. I'm wondering if Apple doesn't want Flash due to it's horrible, inefficient code base maxing out the IPhone's processor and causing overheat/battery problems....or weither its processor can handel the Flash CPU load at all.

We are suing you because you show people the truth....how dare you!!!! I live in Louisiana and in the middle of the woods atleast 10 miles from the nearest town off the main roads, i usually have 1 to 2 bars of EVO signal (usually around 512Kbps download speeds)....AT&T..no data serivce at all.

is the biggest security hole yet the greatest strength of any OS/Software. If virus writters had to rebuild for a new OS/Software each time it came out...they would almost always have to start over every time from scratch. There are still viruses from the Win95 days that will still infect XP SP3 machines (not sure about vista/7). So surprising...no...not in the least.
