Who Owns Evan Brown's Brain?

The legal filings of the lawsuit DSC Communications v. Evan Brown are provided on this web site.

It takes a lot of searching the records to find the abuses of the court.

One of the first abuses is recorded in the transcript of the hearing on April 30, 1997 (Motion for Protective Order pg26:16). Judge Roach's statement also clearly shows he was communicating with DSC's attorneys in violation of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedures. Judge Roach personally owned shares of stock in DSC yet he ruled on evidence and testimony while in direct violation of the Texas Constitution. Note: The Texas Court of Appeals ruled Judge Roach to be disqualified and all his orders were ruled void.

The case was assigned to Judge Henderson after the Court of Appeals issued their ruling on Judge Roach.

Judge Henderson violated the Texas Rules of Civil Procedures when issued an Agreed Scheduling Order despite my objections. The scheduling order put me to a disadvantage due to my lack of knowledge and experience with the legal system. Judge Henderson denied my April 8,2002 3rd Request for Discovery to Plaintiff and 2nd Request for Interrogatories to Plaintiff due to my misunderstanding of the scheduling order.

Judge Henderson denied my 2nd Motion for Summary Judgement in violation of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedures because DSC/Alcatel failed to file a Response to Motion for Summary Judgement. Judge Henderson granted DSC's Motion for Summary Judgement despite the presence of material fact issues. Judge Henderson issued a Final Judgement disposing of the lawsuit after granting DSC's Motion for Summary Judgement for Breach of Contract despite the fact that DSC had several other claims in their Amended Original Petition.

The Jury Fee was paid to the court for a jury trial yet there was no jury. Judge Henderson abused the Texas Rules of Civil Procedures again by personally evaluating the facts and testimony of the parties and personally ruling on the fact issues presented. As a result, an undeveloped thought in a persons mind is now qualified by the Texas courts to be an invention. As a result, if you receive compensation (pay check) all your thoughts (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) belong to your employer.

DSC Communications was a manufacturer of telecommunications equipment and there is no reference to any product sales of software reverse engineering services or product in any of their SEC filings or other company literature, yet Judge Henderson ruled that my idea was along the line of work or business.

The Texas Court of Appeals denied my appeal which was based in part on Judge Hendersons violations of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedures. The Texas State Supreme Court denied my petition for review as allowed by the Texas Legislature. Texas State Supreme Court is allowed to pick and choose what cases they wish to hear. The Texas State Supreme Court is the body that created the Texas Rules of Civil Procedures and is the body that enforces those rules.

The long and short of the seven years I spent in litigating this case is that there is no justice in Texas courts. Judge Henderson violates the rules, the Court of Appeals chooses not to rule on the lower court rules violations, and the Texas State Supreme Court chooses to turn a blind eye to the lower courts abuses.

One story I've heard over the years is that in Texas, businesses contribute substantially to the reelection campaigns of judges even though many judges run for election un-opposed.

The TV program "60 Minutes" has documented many of the problems with Texas courts and judges in the past and nothing has changed to correct the abuses.

It is my belief that justice is forsale in Texas.

Comment Travel Agents rejoice or get Android? (Score 1) 3

The nature of a combination of business intelligence and the market allowing prejudicial pricing means a new red line.

That red line is one where consumers see red. Discriminatory pricing just because you can do it, or even legally available is just going to need a counter-balance. This is the opposite of the the merito-cratic systems. Instead it is a highway robbery mentality sanctioned by the user base. Passive user base that is now.

Perhaps a system of proxy access or what-ever is going to come the forefront.

Travel agents may just come back into vogue, they can live on less than a 30% margin if they get enough volume of business.

Think about your travel agent or travel droid?

Submission + - Orbitz Showing Mac Users More Expensive Hotels (wsj.com) 3

dracocat writes: Orbitz has discovered that Mac users pay up to 30% more for their hotels than those using Windows. In response it has begun to experiment with showing more expensive hotels to Mac users. The WSJ Article claims that this sort of targeting will only become more prevalent in the future.

The WSJ has confirmed through searches that the results for Mac users are many times more expensive than those shown to Windows users. Orbitz has replied that users always have the option to re-order by price if they don't like the initial order of hotels provided.

I generally am on board with using data to show more relevant results, but not sure how I feel about the supposed relevant results being more expensive. Is this inevitable or do we need some sort of screen bias protection?

The Marianas Trench is just east of Shanghai along with Taiwan plus even Japan.

Walmart actually though is the first company that such a Tsunami hit reaches the stock price. More than high technology, the trade curtailment from the one port most likely to sustain or protected is Hong Kong. But that port alone cannot handle the volume of China.

The end of industrialized warfare is near.

That means military budgets worldwide are collapsible by a large percentage, near 75%.

If that proceeds rapidly enough the military industrial complex will start to fail economically. Instead a lower cost military with far fewer large scale tools becomes the new normal at a much lower cost.

Submission + - How to sell a broken Prius (motortrend.com)

aisnota writes: "Ok, where on the Internet is best to sell a Prius for an engineer, motorhead to fix with their sweat equity or a more hardcore power train fascinated individual that wants a motor generator, the manuals and so forth of a 2002 Prius. Ok, my circumstance is that a job to lower pay scale forces me to forego this project with spouse pressures plus economics. Where do the hardcore Prius engineer types hangout that want this kind of potential at low cost? Since it is potentially runable, but the need to sell is motivated, help me find a win-win situation here.

It would really be cool if this were used to either help another Prius fan fix theirs or for a plug-in Hybrid or educational/demonstator experimental science zoned project.

It should be low enough cost for most of those into the topic to consider. Plus please make sure these are people that appreciate the electrical system as well. They should appreciate amperage and so forth.

Comment Re:We could be so lucky with foreign labs (Score 1) 4

The gist of the progression is that despite efforts of some it still happens.

So maybe a lab in Singapore runs a mini-production line for these quantum communication devices. The next thing they become direct distributors of information worldwide where any drop point exists.

The economics are what would drive this more so for expensive long haul communication end points. But if you think the technology will stop, think again.

It is going to take a dam of considerable scale to slow down this advancement. Entanglement is actually getting easier, faster and more diversely than the fabrication of silicon chips. Compare the the 1970's era of the microprocessor work to that made today, the amount of participants is at least 10 fold higher. One full order of magnitude more labs are in a position to fabricate entanglement gear, perhaps even 100 times that of the 1970's microprocessor era.

The costs of using fixed equipment versus stretching copper in the past, or fiber optics of today substituted out with quantum communication equipment end point is truly compelling.

Comment Okay Warfare is going to get cheaper! Kindler? (Score 2) 134

First of all, industrial warfare as we know it is going to start fading quickly.

You just do not need to spend lavishly if your opponent depends on computer technology to order, work-flow and conduct a military action anymore. War is going to get cheap!

So forget about so many tanks, aircraft and soldiers. All you need to do is confuse the enemy, keep their soldiers from getting paid, food, water and old style ammunition - bullets or new style ammunition - packet flow.

Overspending on Internet technology is what maybe in tens of millions of dollars compared to tens of billions in military industrial complex goods?

Leon Panetta should with his former CIA chief background be aware that the Pentagon budget is in some serious deep price decline mode like Walmart's falling ones.

Really, do you think any military or asymmetrical war from those idiotic militants in foreign lands get far if their packet flow is adulterated or commands now sent to their gear reverse the intent of the action?

But as to the statement that no one gets killed?

Bull is the word there, because war is still dirty lousy business in the body politics. Commands for centrifuges as in what it is with STUXNET can just as easily be reformulated for medical gear used for generals of an army or to cut off so much logicistical capacity of a combatant group to inflict death. It is just a matter of scale or opportunity.

Face it, if the bogey man of the day is being secretly treated for kidney ailments do you think the President of the United States is going to say hands off that medical equipment?
