[Mr. Fidget]

"Prepared and filed for" means using an attorney...you don't need one once you learn how to file...

This is for fun, I'm not lecturing you... enjoy. Seeing as how I'm sure Art is a big fan of understanding our current legal regulatory environment, let's take a little closer look at the patent kluge:

First, for the uninformed:

What's a kluge?
klo͞oj/
informal
noun
noun: kluge
1. an ill-assorted collection of parts assembled to fulfill a particular purpose.

I'm not rubbing it in, but puhleeez... welcome to the kluge:
http://www.uspto.gov/learning-and-resources/fees-and-payment/uspto-fee-schedule#Patent%20Extension%20Fee

How about an informed opinion about those fees: http://www.ipwatchdog.com/2015/04/11/us-patent-office-fees/

And the lawyers fees: http://www.ipwatchdog.com/patent/patent-attorney-fees-explained/

And why you do you need a lawyer? http://www.ipwatchdog.com/2012/10/13/patent-pricing-you-get-what-you-pay-for/

Overview: http://www.ipwatchdog.com/2015/04/04/the-cost-of-obtaining-a-patent-in-the-us/

What we need is someone to invent a new patent system, and patent it! :

Yeah, um... I would, and in some cases have... gone with design copyright, where I did not have an open source ethic. That is inherent upon creation, and requires no fees unless registered. Registration grants the ability to recover attorney's costs, in the event of a court action, yea! I've been an "in propria persona"* plaintiff already... thus no need to recover fees. Kluge, kluge, kluge!

*in propria persona. adj. from Latin "for one's self," acting on one's own behalf, generally used to identify a person who is acting as his/her own attorney in a lawsuit. The popular abbreviation is "in pro per."

Apparently Politics threads have gone from crazy to super-crazy.

The crazies have to go somewhere.  They can't all cram into the "I luv Falkie" thread.

First pothole or rock ejected from a gravel truck and the repair costs would mean a total.

A bunch of bitter,old,white men. Bitching about politics.

Why does it always have to be "white" men?

By the way, I wish you were bobo.  Please stop posting here because you're taking bandwidth away from who we really want here, which is bobo.  And Politics, lots and lots of politics.  Just for you, sweetheart. xoxo

Speaking of deleting polls and threads and such, take a good look at the politics section of this site, in particular the thread titles. Notice how they've been getting more wacko lately? I think you know what I mean by wacko.

I told you a while back that if you let the infestation go, it would get out of hand. That section of the site is now looking like it ought to have a direct link from Stormfront. If that's what you want, fine. You're the owner. Just know that there's a point where it stops being a joke and starts getting serious. Things are past that point.

totally true, it's fucked up

What i figured that would have gotten ya banned lol

I know my wishes will not be met but could you change your avatar pic? I find it quite disturbing.

It reminds me of when i was a child and was forced to watch the movie Mask , while being served homemade orange cupcakes by my mother to eat ..... which i still won't eat to this day.

don't worry, i'll probably change it within a day or two based on my average avatar turnaround time.

Be careful what you wish for, I_Speculate, you just might get it.     

Wait.

The longest one you had was that fucking Simmons pic. That lasted forever, or at least it seemed like it, LOL.

Oh, man.  I used to love the Hostess orange cup cakes.  They were funky different and had a delectable artificial taste, no doubt due to all the lucious chemical additives.  It's a wonder I didn't turn into The Elephant Man.

I used to love that neon orange drink at McDonald's.  Maybe a similar chemical profile.
