  There's at least one that is exactly the same(haven't looked at it long). The dog with large ears pointing out in the middle of the heart is exactly the same as the one in the other image, 'cept its flipped horizontally.

  Really, even the TV news stations needed fact-checkers for the recent debates, and they're all hype.

  Re: Re: What to patents protect?

  It'd be best if all patents included blueprints. Most of them are too vauge to use without buying the real information from the patent holder. That should be illegal.

  There are horror stores where the US kicks out illegal immigrants that are BUSNESS OWNERS. Yeah, that's never a good idea when jobs are tanking.

  Re: So software industry has matured...

  "TAX THE HELL OUT OF UNEARNED INCOME!"
  
  That kinda makes sense, but it would be nicer if we didn't have these unnecessary court battles in the first place...
  
  Your proposal would still let failing companies drain startup companies, effectively letting them destroy new competition, as they are doing currently.

  Re: UBB

  "charge a premium to heavy data users under the guise of network congestion. Which is it? Are the networks congested or are they under-utilized? It can't be both."
  
  That, is where the argument this article talks about truly falls apart.

  It's just too easy to get called a terrorist. Just say you are in favor of changing a law in any way, an official can call you a terrorist if they don't like you or your idea.

  My solution to this would be two paper cut-outs placed in front of the camera, aligned so it looks like the person in the picture is at the optimal distance, so that it sees only one person at all times.
