This patent is for the word correction feature that has been in Microsoft Word for years. This isn't original. Complete bunk!

Did you even read the PDF that you linked? The paper is letting employers know that they can hire international students. When I was in school, we had a lot of international students that couldn't get jobs because nobody would hire them. They had to work on campus or for some charity for nil to nothing. Read the articles before you go blast us with ignorance.

Sony is coming out with a better reader that has PDF support. I'm holding out for that one. No word on if it's the same kind of deal though.

but I'm glad that someone is challenging them in this way. If you're going to have a device that is touted as one of the most powerful and useful, don't stifle the development community by rejecting the better applications they send your way.

Was thinking the same thing. Was my favorite cartoon for a while.

I'm really sorry... really :-/

Tax the Sh*t out of them... no pun intended. Cow Fart News

I don't mean this to offend, just putting my 2 cents out there...

So you're basically saying that there should be a subset of people who do not have the same rights as you, just because they have a grander vision?

They are public...Google

I don't see how we will suffer for having a repository for information. I agree that it may be slightly annoying that we can't do anything in public without a camera in our faces... but it's public. I don't go outside with the expectation of not being seen.

Wow, things have changed. This service seems good for students to check and make sure they aren't submitting something that could be deemed as plagarizing(sp?). Why report directly to the teacher? Why not report back to the student to verify that is the work they want to submit? Seems to me it's a flawed business model. I see a lot of your complaints sparking up WiiVault as this service continues.

We actually are diverse in our knowledge of 'legality'. Any country, any system, we're covered. We graduated from "Law & Order" University, "CSI" College (Vegas, Miami, and New York campuses), and "NCIS" School of BS. Some of also received a medical degree from "ER" school of Medicine.

I was thinking the same thing. That would be more efficient and would be registered with a State Authority. Maybe this would begin an inspection protocol for the state if there isn't one in place already.

I'm having to deal with that right now. There is no real way to deal with it. Comment what you put in and move on. The legacy will just have to live on. We currently have a variable that is never used but declared in our main application called ken_is_a_jackass. This boolean is set to true but never mentioned again in code. Good and bad comments/code will stay with a system long after you're gone. Ken has apparently been a jackass for over 12 years and nobody seems to want to get rid of it.
