"Its a lot more difficult to do this on a railroad. We have more opportunities to do this in the US because we put sidings off the main track in all sort of remote locations but changing would be vandalism -- you've got to cut locks and things. It might be easier to just unbolt a section of track."

That would be a federal crime and they would charge you with terrorism.

Not true

"USPTO staff obviously have their brains sucked out as a pre-condition of employment. It's the only excuse I can find for some of the bullshit they're allowing through as patentable these days."

They just make money on the application, then granting of the patents.

See less granting means less people applying. That equals less money

They sent out an engineer to replace the motherboard?

In a laptop?

TWICE?

Every sensible (consumer) laptop service call I've seen involves a tech being dispatched with a matched laptop and swapping the user's existing RAM, hard drive, etc. into the new laptop, thus saving at least an hour of everybody's time carefully disassembling the whole damned thing and putting it back together. Occasionally it'll happen the other way around on the business end of things, but that's only if the customer wants to keep the same shell for asset tracking purposes.

You have never done field service warranty work and it shows. I've done warranty repair work for sony, dell, apple and IBM. They all will just send out the mother board because its cheaper. What you don't know is that the tech gets a flat rate for the call. SO while it might take more time, its still cheaper to just send the parts out instead of whole laptop

Thumb Up

He also banned their cable TV till that was overturned in court as it is a human right now. (americans) so he gave them national geographic and the weather channel ) or something equally dull. Because having cable doesn't have to mean all channels. And so they "can see how nice it is outside."

Also banned the gym and weights so they can't be stronger and more fit to commit crime when they get into the oustide world.

The tents and pink clothing was part of a long and excellent list.

Shame we can't have some of that here"

Great aint til lI had a prison guard explain to me why it's not.

TV and gym gives them things to , it does make it less violent situation. When you leave a person alone in a cell with nothing to do they found it does induce forms of psychosis So people that say you should have prisoners have nothing to do but sit in their cells allday long, you are looking for problems.

For as the weights, most prisoners that lift weights get muscle bound. believe it or not its lot easier to deal with a muscular guy.. When he swings he is slow.. Its they guy that has been running all day which is a bitch to deal with.

California

In the state of California they are using the mental hygiene laws against some sex offenders. THe way it works is this. Lets say you are sentence to 15 years. You do the full 15 and are let out. No parole , probation nothing. Either you agree to be monitored or they toss you in a mental ward till you agree, under the guise of that you a threat to society. THis is for life. You could say leave the state, but then thats not agreeing to be monitored and off you go

"I don't understand the whole state courts thing - would I be correct in assuming that if the decision is made in Texas then it only applies in Texas, so every company that is erroneously sued there can just shut up shop in that state and refuse to ship goods there?"

All patents disputes are solved in federal court. It some that most people don't know out side of the US but when are talking about courts in the US and you say Eastern, Northern, Western or Southern district, they are referring to Federal courts
