Wouldn't the better analogy be hiring a hooker and taking viagra and just boning her non-stop for 24 hours?

But ya, I see your point.

"DLC feels like crap."
So don't buy it?
And if the main game isn't worth the money, don't buy that either.

"Back in the day" you didn't have voice acting, 1080p graphics, online play, etc. etc. etc.
You can't expect production values and features to go up and up and up while prices stay the same..

Your definition of "the whole fucking game" differs from the publisher.

Guess who gets to decide that.

Your only vote is: buy or don't buy.

Nobody reads the rants on the forums.

They need to do something, it only looks 2D to me.

It is scary to hear a respected judge like Posner saying such silly things.

The proposal to add a manufacturing requirement is just awful.

First of all, the quid-pro-quo of the patent system is that the patentee must DISCLOSE the invention in exchange for exclusive rights, not MANUFACTURE.
(And a job for Congress, NOT the Judiciary, but that's a whole nother can of worms).

Let's discuss the details of this proposal, shall we?

Who EXACTLY has to be the manufacturing entity? Does it have to be the inventor himself? What about a licensee?

Will there be an exception for universities? And if so, will it only apply to non-profit research institutions?

What about garage inventors?

What about an inventor who just enjoys inventing, and doesn't want to run a manufacturing company?

When must manufacturing commence? What if the invention is so ahead-of-its time that its not commercially viable until 5 or 10 years from issuance?

These are just some of the many problems with this proposal.

If the problem is "too many patents" then a better solution is to increase the rigor of the examination process.
For example, increase the threshold for obviousness, require better disclosures, etc.

I'm no PhD, but I'm perplexed.

FTFS: "causing them to become suicidally attracted to feline odors"
That just seems like a really high-level cognitive function for single-celled organism to achieve in a mammal.

I guess I can see it affecting dopamine levels, but causing an attraction to a specific odor?
Really?
Can anyone explain?

OK... but.. so then...

Are you saying that we should all be free to criticize ANY religion???
With no censorship???
AND no revenge bombings??

That's crazy.
You're crazy.

Homer's argument was supported by lots of evidence.

You don't see any tigers around here do you?

"His assumption requires that all the wielders of nuclear weapons are sane."

Sane AND not anonymous.

Well, I hope you don't like domesticated dogs.
Or cattle.
Or...

Building ANYTHING can create a lot of jobs. For example, digging a large hole and then filling it back in.

This really has no bearing on the value of the proposition.

The USPTO needs an ESL program for patent examiners.

But I guess that's not exotic enough.

Who cares? It's not a question of costs.

It's a question of a corporation using its state-granted monopoly power to discriminate against competitors.

Saying a bottle top doesn't "want" to come off is just stupid.

Everyone knows its *really* because the Leprechauns are inside holding it on, trying to keep the beer for themselves.

Which is why, of course, we need wage war on Scotland and Ireland, the known home of the Leprechauns.

It is our "manifest destiny" to launch a "crusade" against the Scottish and Irish people, and we won't rest until they are all dead or enslaved.

See, magical thinking is healthy.
