They should have found a recent law grad that is unemployed. That guy would work for free to make his name on a big case. Any competent law grad who passed the bar can answer motions, reply with his own, and get this case on the court docke

A corporation is considered a person, and that person is separate and distinct from its employees, officers, and directors. So for the corporation to appear pro se, it must actually appear in court, but there is no way for a corporation to

That isn't how I read the opinion. How would you describe the claimed novelty? From the first line of the opinion, "We granted certiorari to determine whether a process for curing synthetic rubber which includes in several of its steps the

The novelty was using a computer to do this, which no one had done before. Prior to this invention, curing rubber was done manually. Also, from my understanding an infinitely configurable computer and general-purpose computer aren't the sam

In Benson and Flook, the claimed inventions were on algorithms and NOT tied to a machine. In Diehr, the inventor claimed "algorithm + machine" where machine was a computer. The Court looks at a computer as an infinitely configurable machine

You are probably right. Learning how to organize a team of people with varying skills and abilities to come together, set a plan, execute on it repeatedly, and then repeat that day in and day out over 4 years through countless types of adve

Not everyone can be on the 12 person, premier D-I basketball team. However, I am unaware of any university that doesn't allow pickup games or club teams by all people. No one in this entire thread has advocated disproportionate funding for

Please, I never insinuated that. burgerbrain said sports have no intellectual value and don't belong on campus. I gave a concrete example of how they did help. That is all. There is a lot of athlete-hating in this thread.

In college I took a course called "Physics of Alpine Skiing." A manufacturing engineering professor taught the course. He was a big ski racer in his younger days. While searching for a college major, and generally just drifting along, a men

Should we also cancel the drama program, debate team, musical ensembles, and school newspaper?

Not every lesson or piece of information can be learned from a book or in a classroom. Good luck getting soft skills there. Real learning occurs while playing sports. Soft skills, discipline, teamwork, personal fitness, and long-time dedica

Not all states recognize the doctor-patient privilege. For example, Massachusetts does not. And attorney-client privilege is not absolute. I have no idea where Arizona sits on either of those issues.

by micks56 16y ago
The Model Rules of Professional Conduct (with each state adopting their own, perhaps different rules) allow a lawyer to disclose confidential client information to prevent reasonably certain death or substantial bodily harm. MRPC 1.6(b)(1).

Who knows, but your question doesn't seem too far-fetched to me. I could see this speech being given on the House floor... "Terrorists are known to use surveillance-detection devices. As a result the Department of Homeland Security's effort

No, and this is important. 1. I am not an attorney. I am not your attorney. 2. I am not giving out legal advice, and nothing that I have said is even considered legal advice. 3. I have no idea what the law is in your jurisdiction because I

The standard for what can be lawfully seen is not written assuming the view of a 6' tall male. A person can lay down on the sidewalk, an area he can freely occupy, and gain a whole new vision of a person's property, including under a vehicl

I agree that this is area of concern for privacy. Right now the general standard on what police can use for technology is that they can use the same technology that is readily available to the general public. It isn't an unlimited-means sta

Your last sentence is very loaded. 1. This case wasn't a ruling, nor is it a lack of ruling. It was an instance of a court refusing to re-litigate existing law. That means that it already ruled and does not feel that the law should be chang

According to the courts, private property does not have an absolute REP. Your definition of REP is not one used by any US court. Good luck with trespassing claims. Criminal trespass elements are not met, so no luck there. You probably don't

This is how you get a search warrant: A person makes an affidavit in front of a neutral and detached magistrate, who then determines that a reasonable person would conclude that it was more likely than not that incriminating evidence of the

A search warrant is needed to inspect an area that you have a reasonable expectation of privacy for. If you don't have a REP, no warrant is needed. To partake in life we expect people to walk on our property - mailman, paperboy, UPS guy, el

This is currently the rule in a majority of US jurisdictions. The 9th Circuit did not make a ruling. Rather, they declined to hear the case because California law is already on point and they do not wish to change the law. I am displeased w

Exactly. Salesforce can defend two ways: 1) challenge the validity of the patent, or 2) prove that they don't infringe the patent. Option 1 is harder. Patents are presumed valid. Defendant (Salesforce) has the burden of proof that the pate

Actually, I think that it takes the exact same amount of noise to flip a bit as it does to transmit a bit. Through the principle of superposition, if you transmit a 0 with X watts, and I transmit a 1 with X watts, our combined signal will b

I think your understanding of cables is off. All signals are analog. Every single one. (Actually, I take that back. With the exception of quantum computers, to date, all signals are analog). A "digital" cable doesn't just work or not work.

Are the colors 0026FF and 8026FF the same? No, they are not. And the difference between blue (0026FF) and purple (8026FF) is a 1 bit error. You will see an image, but not the image your DVD told your TV to display. edit: This comment makes
