Journal Journal: Holy government lie Batgirl! 2
Hi all! You Batman fans probably already know that 2/3 of the cast did a Public Service Announcement in 1973 for the US government. It was an equal pay for equal work piece. One thing that makes it so funny, besides being funny anyway, is Batgirl's complaint about not getting paid as much as Robin. in the series, Yvonne Craig made over 3X per episode what Burt Ward made! See the links in the video description on YouTube for more detai

Apparently opening one of these things and looking at its innards violates the warranty really bad.

I've argued for a large percentage of my young life that unique DNA is the key. If you have that, then you have a new person/being, plain and simple.

At least this makes an attempt to do away with the non-practicing entities that patent things only to sue.
I'm sure it will still be ineffective, or just not pass both houses of Congress.
What about getting the patent office to do their job to begin with? Washington keeps asking for, and getting all this power, then they never get around to doing anything with that power they said they needed.

It gets hot in there, and Johnson is always farting.
Yea, but you would think they had a switch on the thing to record when it is open, like on my home security system.

Previously it had to provide the service under the "Google Mail" brand in Germany. The same was true for the United Kingdom until 2010.

I can't make heads nor tails of these big purchases any more. Valuing things like this looked easy in college. Maybe I am getting ancient.
Submission + - Magician suing for copyright over magic trick (arstechnica.com) 1
Fluffeh writes: "Teller, the silent half of the well-known magic duo Penn and Teller, has sued a rival magician for copying one of his most famous illusions. The case promises to test the boundaries of copyright law as it applies to magic tricks. A Dutch magician with the stage name Gerard Bakardy (real name: Gerard Dogge) saw Teller perform the trick in Las Vegas and developed his own version — then started selling a kit — including a fake rose, instructions, and a DVD — for about $3,000. Teller had Bakardy's video removed with a DMCA takedown notice, then called Bakardy to demand that the magician stop using his routine. Teller offered to buy Bakardy out, but they were unable to agree on a price. So Teller sued Bakardy last week in a Nevada federal court."
