      I've recently seen a bit of this company around, as they make guitar and bass amps. Should they be referred to as "FAT" or "Fuchs"? I haven't seen any of their products in any sweepstakes or giveaways thus far, so I'm pretty sure you have to pay for their stuff if you want any, since there seem to have been literally zero Fuchs given at this point. But, I digress...

      You posted this just so you could use the last sentence and not get modded, ha ha.

      I was literally looking at a music supply store ad and saw the full name for the first time. I had heard of Fuchs amps, but didn't see that the full name would be abbreviated FAT. If it weren't for it being a dude's last name, I would completely think that was done on purpose. It may have been anyway.

      And the whole thing lent itself nicely to the setup for the final delivery... 🙂

      Handy since today starts Lent.

        Just had a thought... more job interviews need to be like The Last Starfighter

        I would love to see a remake of this movie!

              Wow...

              So this basically just means that MS and Google, etc have to get sued and then to go court to show this patent can't actually be a real patent due to prior art and get it dismissed, and probably spend millions doing so.

                                        wtf is wrong with the patent office? Granted a patent on "out of office" email submitted in 2010!

                                        The patent office is mostly a scam.

                                        Yep, just ask all of Edison's staff that actually invented all the stuff he patented.

                                        Patents and inventors are completely unrelated according to the US

                                        That fact doesn't make Edison not an arsehole. In fact, he's one of the biggest pieces of sh!t ever to be revered by American society.

                                        The biggest goes to Columbus, IMO.

                                        I guess genocide does edge out killing animals to discredit your competition... but not by a huge margin.

                                        I'd guess that Columbus just had more opportunity for genocide. I'm pretty sure Edison would have used that should he have had ample opportunity.

                                          That would have been his next logical step in screwing over Tesla.... kill kittens -> puppies -> horses -> elephants -> brown people. As long as he wins, right?
