In plain English - there are some very serious reasons why illegally gathered evidence is thrown out, and it's because it's considered far more grave to the health of our society for law enforcement to abuse their power than catching even the most deadly of criminals.
I move you keep both pitchfork and knife; And think of car salesmen in real life If you look close and squint, You'll spy in the small print "Nude pictures of your mistress and wife."
I can't help but notice your mention - I would like to draw your attention. (I know it can be hard To read a patent card) But try "Background of the Invention".
Re: May vastly over-reach, but it's not "Bogus", that's just Mike's Mistake.
Out of the blue's obsession with Mike It feels like a hole in a Dutch dyke. He will never respond Unless he can abscond With the point in favor of dislike.
Perhaps something that could help counter that is that rejection notes (ie, an examiner noting in brief why the patent was rejected) be attached to the rejected patent, which is then attached to the submitting company.
When an examiner gets a patent application, they check the history of the submitter to see if it's only trivial changes to a rejected one, and can use the notes to rapidly find the prior art or other documents that caused the initial rejection.
The next step would be some kind of penalty for a large number of rejected patents or re-submitting a patent with irrelevant changes...
To be honest, something like that is more likely to be an excuse to have some people hang around outside the locations in hopes of seeing Snowden or someone else of interest coming.
Re: Neither Snowden nor this "story", months late, is THE STORY.
"A distraction," comes the blue bugle At a story that's naught but frugal. He cares not for scandals, Or NSA handles And everything's the fault of Google.
Confusion of progress and culture Leads one to think any a vulture, Who would mix and would blend New culture to be penned, Missing the point of the adventure.
A Coward could do naught but tremble; He knew a troll he would resemble. This fact he could not bear, Nor anything that's fair; That would his ego disassemble.
yes people do create cultures, like TD creates a culture of Government hatred, hatred for NSA and Snowden hero worship. That is a culture, that is your culture. Clearly 'culture' itself is neither necessarily good or bad, slave trade culture might be consider bad and not worthy of promotion but worthy of suppression.
You're doing the same silly thing some Creationists do - you're conflating multiple meanings of a word; rather intellectually dishonest of you.
To "contribute to culture" is to communicate to others some bit of creativity produced by your mind acting upon the body of 'existing' culture.
Stories build upon the existing literature/oral tradition for meaning (I suggest listening to some of Joseph Campbell's interviews on mythology - seriously); paintings re-interpret what older works did in mood, setting and arrangement. Music inherits its tempo and embellishments from what came before. All of these add to culture because (1) they're communicated and (2) they've transformed in at least a small way what they built on. It could be telling a classic fairy tale from the view of the villain, for example, turning a classic story of righteous rebellion against evil authority into a tragedy of misunderstandings (or any other theme). It could be changing the setting of an existing story from ancient Greece to colonies on Mars. It could be taking an existing melody and combining it with another scribed decades or centuries later to form something previously unrealized.
The thing is that in many of these cases, the states in question aren't preparing to arrest federal agents or the like - instead, it's more or less a declaration that they won't give any help or resources.
It's the political equivalent of a white mutiny. Sure, you can build a center on land in the state that you bought, but that doesn't guarantee you exemption from requirements for utilities. Sure, we can't try and prevent you from collecting records, but we can declare that none of our state or local courts may used that information to prosecute anyone, and no state or local law enforcement can assist in any resulting action.

Re: Re: Re: Hello, me: you've been censored again for complaining about censoring! They're on a real kick today!
A couple days back I just got tired of some AC comment or other, and decided rather than to just ignore it, to respond in the form of a limerick.
And, unfortunately, responding in the form of limericks is kind of addictive, so I find myself doing it more and more.
