This is what I am starting to see. It looks like most "research" out there is the typical "20 college students for one semester" case with flawed data and questionable approaches.

At some level there's also the definition of "working out". I am on a lifting program where strength is the goal, not bulking out. We add 5 lbs every workout session (15 lbs per week) to every exercise. In a couple of cases

The points I was trying to make, reposted because code formatting makes them hard to read (sorry) and for some reason I can't edit them: - Common law trademarks in the US do offer protection so long as one does not abandon usage of the

I would be lying to you if I said that my thoughts are entirely coherent at this point. I am certainly creating a more organized framework in my mind as a result of interaction and conversation with various people, including HN, as well as

That did cost him a ton of money though. From reading his explanation it sounds like it took somewhere around $250K to defend his brand.

Yes, you are right. Ultimately it's just business. The research I've done tells me it would be hard to grab my domain given that I've been doing business under this brand for nearly 30 years. Not a huge business, but that&#

I did not know about this. Frankly, it's terrifying. It almost makes me want to cry. The prospect of walking into a situation where I have to chose between utter financial ruin and just handing over something I've owned for nea

To be frank, it would have to be one of those offers you can't possibly refuse. I hinted at that and they went from a few hundred bucks to a few thousand "last offer". Given their apparent mindset I don't see them going

No, please re-read the post. I think you missed important information. I did not leave anything in 2005. All I did was shutdown my C-corp and continued doing business under a dBA. A binder full of invoices, etc. since early 90's unt
