Many of them don't even understand how computers actually work.
Given that understanding how (modern) computers actually work requires a working knowledge of quantum mechanics (not in any CS curriculum I've ever seen), not surprising.
They get hot from being above an oven.
Patents must be specific enough to describe a particular set of implementations of an idea, rather than just the general idea itself. Despite Slashdot's love of the phrase, "on a computer" does not a patent make.
Not only does "on a computer" make a patent, "on a machine readable medium" (Beauregard claim) is quite sufficient.
On the other hand, that specificity can be problematic when it comes time to actually use the exclusivity a patent provides.
Doctrine of equivalents.
Stop apologizing for the patent system; it's broken.
There's NOTHING I hate worse than a noisy oven.
The Frigidaire slide-in oven has a fan to cool the controls; it's noisy. The Kitchen Aid (as of a couple of years ago) has no such fan. It's quiet. Unfortunately the controls tend to overheat and fail. Also the door glass explodes spontaneously. Still want the quiet one?
The guy running the roofing business, though? He'll have to wait a couple of years or become a pilot and an expert on navigating section 333's paperwork mill
Or he'll just do it. The FAA doesn't have the manpower to catch him... and even if they do catch him once, the fine is $10,000 and thus lots cheaper than doing it legally.
It turns out "Jo Seong-jin" rhymes with "Tonya Harding".
and now trying to make it up on volume? I'll pass on that business plan.
Personally I think the solution is to speak up even when you don't care that much. You can't convince the fringe players that they're wrong, but you can demonstrate to them (and others) that the fringe viewpoint is a minority one.
Well, we know one thing that DOESN'T work -- censoring the "fringe" players, and make agreements with all the other forums you can find to also censor them. All that does is convince them that there's a conspiracy to silence them. (why this should convince them so is left as an exercise)
Probably living in a forest, breathing fresh air, eating natural food and drinking source water is less carcinogenic?
Trees pump out all sorts of carcinogenic crap. The Great Smokey Mountains aren't smokey from man-made pollution or fire, after all. If the canopy isn't too heavy, living outdoors means susceptibility to skin cancer. Natural food, especially plants also contains all sorts of toxins. And water in nature can contain lead and arsenic and kill you too. But if you live like that, your chance of cancer might be cut down by getting bitten by a snake or attacked by a wolf or a bear or something, or just hypothermia.
Everyone over the age of 5 knows a Public Service Announcement is propaganda. Of course the comments were more influential; they didn't have to clear a high bar. Give it a few years and everyone will know the comments are mostly from shills, trolls, and know-nothings, and we'll be back to the healthy status quo of no one with any sense believing anything they read without triple-checking it.
You missed the memo. Leftists don't believe in free speech any more. The whole "Freeze Peach" thing comes from the left.
Tell me again how many people in leadership positions aren't cishet white men?
That's 6 out of 15 on Microsoft's Senior Leader page.
4 out of 15 for Apple (and no Asians), but still not all cishet white male.
(Additionally, Eddy Cue, SVP of Internet Software and Services might qualify as Hispanic)
For Google, we've got
Facebook has 1 out of 5 (Sheryl Sandberg, COO)
Shut your mouth with your "model minority" bullwark.
Your term, not mine.
Little known fact: _Benson_ and _The Golden Girls_ were the same show.
The only people campaigning to keep women out of STEM (CS and Engineering anyway in particular) are your allies. You know, the ones who say the guys in the field are so horrible that women have to be on constant guard, that the level of sexism and misogyny is so high that it's nearly intolerable. The ones who talk about "microaggressions" as if life is free of difficulty for cishet white males and we are making it difficult for others. The ones who claim women have few opportunities for advancement in the field, and will just end up leaving. You want to know who is keeping women out of CS and engineering? Look in the mirror.
