Someone finally got it right

The one with the trademark gets the rights, if you are profiting by selling goods representative of the trademark holder.

FTFY

You do realize that the GP was replying to someone who claimed a wireless network was more likely to introduce the Stuxnet Virus, right?

How you chose to do it is pretentious. Why not just explain that you feel the joke is stupid and ignorant?

Maybe you don't understand the greedy lawyers meme. It goes something like this. Plaintiffs seek damages. Lawyers inflate damages. Lawyers charge plaintiff exorbitant sums of money. Lawyers get rich. For example, when a small company sued RIM for patent infringement, the company was awarded $612.5 million. The law firm received over $200 million of this.

The distinction between copyrights and patents is important. The distinction between copyright and patents NOT important in the context of the GPs joke. The case involved both patents and copyrights, so your correction and demand for the GP to RTFA is just arrogant drivel.

RTFA. The lawsuit in its entirety was about both.
The GP's was attempting to be funny. The choice of the word "patents" does nothing to detract from the message. Your attempt at nitpicking a humorous post is pretentious.

Meanwhile, Adobe's lobbyists are preparing a formal application to have their Adobe Reader and other software excluded from such litigation.

Maybe you are right. My experiences are limited, since I've never lived in a city to see what vehicles people own and how they generally use them.

My evidence is anecdotal, but it is true for me and everyone else I know who owns a pickup or SUV in my hometown. This evidence comes from observation and experience. So far, I trust it more than reading your opinions.

Then you wouldn't mind providing the rest of us with these countless proofs?

Please provide evidence that vast majority of SUV or truck owners would be better off renting an SUV or truck when needed. I'd like to read it, so I can be as enlightened as you the next time this topic comes around.

Mine is a 2003. It wasn't bought new.

Many of the people do those things so seldom that they don't own a truck or SUV. Those people either rent them, or more likely, ask to borrow a truck or trailer from a friend or family member. Where I live, most of my neighbors and family have a pickup or SUV and trailer. They get used hard, for their intended use. Most of the older, more established families, have an extra car. The younger couples have one pickup and one car.

That's a poor guess. There are still people, both men and women, who actually use these vehicles for their intended purpose. You can think of that next time you try to move furniture, or put a ton of stone in the trunk of your compact car, or ask someone else to take your coolers, kayaks, luggage, and mountain bikes on a trip.

It amazes me that the same people who say there is no need for a truck, have no shame in constantly asking to borrow one from someone who does.

Not everyone is so privileged.

Not having a truck after I lost it in flood a few years ago, and having to borrow one weekly, means that I'll take your bet.

I guess that is the difference between the part of the US that you lived in, and the part that I live in. Where I'm from, we own our own homes, and do our own work. Most homeowners have pickups or trailers. We cut our own trees and haul them for our wood burners. We put on roofs, decks, and stone our own driveways. Either you own a truck or trailer, or you borrow one. Having a truck has nothing to do with perceived comfort. If you rode in mine you would understand. It is completely about being practical. I would take the comfort of a minivan any day.

That being said, this is referring to pickups, not SUVs. I couldn't do all of the above and use the same the truck for camping, going to the lake house, or going to the beach without having room for 6 passengers. I couldn't do the work on our homes, nor transport the kayaks, surf boards, mountain bikes, or 4-wheelers with a minivan.

We also traded my girlfriends Jetta for a Jeep, because she couldn't make it to work in the winter. That had nothing to do with perceived comfort, and everything to do with the "No winter maintenance" signs on roads she travels to get there.

I don't cringe each time I fill the gas tank because I want to. I do it because I need to. If I could afford to buy a second car, or get by without a truck, I would do it in a heartbeat. If you want to pick on people in the US for their vehicles, then choose people with gas guzzling sports cars or those driving Hummers around the city. Don't pick on the average family that needs at least one practical vehicle.

I had completed both of the items in the instructions I posted prior to commenting. It took less than 30 seconds to do each.

I had not tried adding a secondary Gmail address. I only had one Gmail address. I'll try it now though. Alright, I created another Gmail account and added it to my Google+ account and selected this account for notifications.

You cannot link a Gmail account to a Gmail account. You can link one or more Gmail accounts to your Google+ account.

So, if I understand you correctly, the problem is that you still have to log in and out of both accounts, since one has your new Gmail e-mails, and the other is the sign-in for your Google+ account? To correct this, log into your new Google+ account. Click on the drop down box next to your photo at the top right, and click "Add account". You will be asked to log in. Log into your old account. Now both accounts will be linked. You can click the photo or drop down at the top right to switch between Gmail or Google+ profile views. There is no reason to log in and out of both accounts constantly.

I hope this works for you.

Either you never tried it, didn't bother to read the link I posted, or you need someone to help you use a computer. Maybe your just an anonymous Facebook shill?

No, you screwed things up by linking these things together the way you did. You used your Gmail e-mail address for your Google+ account. While you cannot change your Gmail username. You can certainly update the e-mail linked to your Google+ account.

To change notification settings and destinations:

1. Log into your account.
2. Go to your Google+ account settings.
3. Scroll to "Notification Delivery".
4. Click "Add e-mail address"
5. Enter new e-mail address and submit form.
6. Click verification link in your e-mail.
7. Return to your account settings and choose which e-mail you wish to use for notifications.

To add another e-mail to your account, which may be used to log in.

1. Go to your Google account settings
2. Scroll to "E-mail addresses and usernames"
3. Click "edit"
4. Click on "Add new alternate e-mail address".
5. Enter the e-mail address and submit.
6. Click verification link in your e-mail.

Your welcome.

I drive a pickup truck that seats six passengers. I can haul things, tow things, carry passengers, or load the rear of the cab with tools and boxes of cable. Would I like to drive a small, fuel efficient car when I am doing none of the aforementioned things? Sure. However, I can't afford to purchase and insure two vehicles. I think this is why people drive SUVs or trucks. If they can only afford one vehicle, then that vehicle better be able to take their family on vacation, carry their cargo, and pickup supplies at the home improvement store.

That is why you see so many married couples with families that have one car, and one SUV or extended cab pickup truck.
