wow...at least one of you is a real asshat. I'm sure you know who you are.

You may pay me to find the open source project that you are looking for. I will invoice you for your books and donate the proceeds to http://www.gofundme.com/help-sherry That should clear up the accounting. Thank you.

Here's yer mod-up, AC style +1

Mod this up. It's funny and insightful.

Method for keeping track of multiple legislative solutions of differing scopes and scales for patent reform on the internet.

Like this....only REALLY BIG!

The first Sci-Fi novel I read was A Wrinkle In Time in the 6th grade. The very next book I read was Heinlien's "A Stranger In a Strange Land". I spent the next 30 years trying to build my very own cult/commune. My lack of any magical abilities whatsoever has made this endeavor less than successful. Perhaps we shouldn't make it mandatory that our children go down the same road. Just sayin'.

No mention of Smirnoff's catch phrase/joke? "In Soviet Russia the Party finds you"

Oddly, there are number of emu ranches in the southwestern U.S. so that would not be out of place. An emu in sky might, however, raise an eyebrow.

/facepalm

Look: The 3 things mentioned in this thread, restless leg, irritable bowel and fibromyalgia, all became widely known at the very same time as the drugs for those ailments were first advertised. The advertising itself created the markets for those drugs by convincing people that they had something wrong with them and it had a name and a treatment. Since these particular drugs have few side effects and counter indication for them is rare doctors freely prescribe them,off-label even.

I am certain that there are people that benefit greatly from both the diagnosis and treatment of these particular things. I am just as certain that a majority of the people taking drugs to treat these things are neither afflicted with them nor are they helped by the treatments beyond placebo affect.

If you are one of those unlucky enough to be genuinely affected by IBS, Restless Leg or Fibromyalgia I hope that your treatment is going well and I wish you the best.

Constant pain and stomach issues have always existed. The diagnoses of fibromyalgia and irritable bowel syndrome are relatively new phenomena.

You're taking that too literally. There are measures they can take to directly defend against the DDOS ( CloudFlare comes to mind) that are more effective than any access to threat intelligence. That access will be abused by both the government and private business.

Locks also keep out lazy criminals. When you can't know who the criminals are that's a fair defense against most of them. This legislation seeks to more effectively determine who/where the criminals are. They can round up all of the car thieves in my neighborhood and it still be stolen if I leave it unattended and running. Legislation that provides consequences for banks that leave the "door" unlocked might be more effective than this "intelligence sharing" which does little to that end. Makell them to lock the doors. We may not even need anything further.

"dunno, the drug companies created a market for a drug that numbs your legs by inventing "restless legs syndrome"."
Don't forget fibromyalgia and irritable bowel syndrome. Those also were never heard of until there were drugs for them that needed to be sold.

Whoooa....too much angy
