Patents worked for me. They worked for Dr. Damadian, Gordon Gould, Bob Kearns (Flash of Genius movie coming on 10-3-08), Wilson Greatbatch, and the list goes on and on. Patents will never work for the types of people on Slashdot for two reasons.

1) You have to be able to invent and it is clear that you cannot becuse you are too busy wallowing in self pitty.

2) You have to have the gumption to try, and it is clear that most people here do not have that gumption :)

I have been living the good life with my inventions since the early 1990's.
