The more fine-tooth details you put in it the easier it is to exploit or get exceptions. It’s how you have a tax code where 10% tells you what to pay and 90% tells you how not to pay it.

But the only thing I would change would be a software patents should be dramatically shorter than hardware patents given the life cycle of software.

The patents are expiring and once they do regulators will kind of have their hand forced. Trying to mandate a solution only available through one provider is a nonstarter. And that’s part of the darker side of Sawstop. He did try to have it mandated by law after companies didn’t buy in. It was a very self serving move that made a lot of enemies.

If one company took it up it would have created a war in the industry. Everyone decided to play it safe with business as usual. Because companies don’t care about anything other than profit.

Thinning the herd. If you are taking advice from this person it was only a matter of time before suffering became inevitable.

My understanding when I started was that team made no difference at all and so I just picked my least favorite color of the options. It’s worked out pretty well. It gives me more gyms to take.

As for how many still play: about 87 million in August.

Disagree. Look at Sawstop. It took years to even get to the patent filing phase. Then he tried to get companies to adopt it. They didn’t. So he spent years building a company and manufacturing base to support it. By the time he finally got things into stores and had a chance to pay back his investment the patent would have expired under your idea. There would have been zero incentive to do all that investment and the technology would have never become available.

Your five year rule would harm anyone not already extremely wealthy. It would further incentivize corporations to maintain control over markets. It would also create a situation where companies would be trying to recoup all their investment costs in that 5 year period which would result in extremely high prices. Like the pharma companies on steroids charging a 5000% markup.

For me, the winning ones are where I simply remove Heathcliff and do nothing else. Those are the ones that show Heathcliff is completely irrelevant to the joke, anti-joke or whatever. If it makes even more sense without Heathcliff that’s just a bonus.

You forgot magic mapping

I didn’t say What kind of tips. My joke is more disgusting.

It kills the fries.

On par except that are three of them at once.

I’m not doing any more bottle babies until I’m collecting Social Security and don’t have to work or sleep.
