What *is* a real impediment to innovation and progress is the idiotic system which allows a patent to be issued for nothing more than the *idea* of putting a GPS unit onto a PCI card.
You are wrong, it's not *just* the idea, someone must actually have a working or workable way to do it.. they have to produce diagrams AND a working model.
Well, Meinberg in Germany has had such cards for years, but they are not the ones who hold the patent. Guess they aren't a US company or US owned, or operated then. Do they have a German or Euro patent, if there even is such a thing? ( I know Germany had an active patent system for a looong time. ) Does your attempt to blame the US for the company named above apparently being somehow cheated depend on their having a valid patent prior to the US one depend on any real knowledge of the situation?
Personally I abhor all forms of government, just haven't figured out how to deal w/ SOBs in the world w/o em. Would be nice to deal person to person, but it's not exactly practical .
The sky is *not* falling.

well, we already know I'm the one in the right here, I asked the Chinese and they oughta know they are closest to it in a land far far away and very very high up.. They are using rocks tossed into the air by little kids to knock satellites outta the sky. -- j This current flows between us that will not be denied You draw me in towards you like the moon pulls at the tide May no shadow ever fall that will make me have to call you someone I used to love
