Yeah, it's a fun format, it'd be interesting to see a few more match ups. I hope this helps build his confidence a bit - I'm rooting for him to get to GM in spite of the odds, it's an inspirational attempt if nothing else.

Certainly it could be, I would like to see some proper study done into it, but it's probably borderline impossible.

Conversely patents are somewhat unobtainable by the average Joe, I think I saw it costing somewhere in the region of 25-50k to patent something by the time you factor in the cost of a decent patent lawyer.

Maybe a 10-15 year patent period with lower barrier to entry would be a good thing.

Haha, I just happened to be watching engine swap videos earlier today and thought it fit well!

I'm in the same position as you. From what I gather you can still transfer files, I'm still buying a kobo when my voyage bites the dust.

Isn't that pretty much how parents work already? They're extensible, sure, but only up to 20 years total. Not only that but you're forced to document it too.

Lol, my cat would not at all be happy with being scratched there. Persistently ignoring his nips would result in a bite.

I know you didn't ask, but may I volunteer a car engine instead of a spoon. There's still IP involved in a car engine, but nobody is going to tell me I cant put my VW engine in Honda and sell it.

Not really, the original point was to prove the earth isn't 4000 years old. Even if this were the only way lead could be created I'm assuming some portion of the decay could take place in space and then be part of the earth's formation.

A Polish colleague of mine once accidentally picked Czech in an online work training exercise and then spent the next 30 minutes giggling to himself. I asked him afterwards what was up "Czech sounds like baby talk"

I skim read the title and made assumptions. Substitute Palestinians for Hezbollah in my previous post, doesn't really have any bearing on how difficult it is to spin it.
