writes In message , Lostgallifreyan writes Eternal September is a namd ? I have read in contexts of posters naming some systems with a bad hit-rate for troll sources. Yes, RIP news.demon.co.uk. ES is just fine. Freenews.netfront.net also works, as does nntp.aioe.org (although take care with their well-intentioned rules). Even though they say they don't carry binaries, ES certainly does allow access to a few binary NGs, as does freenews.netfront.net. I see it carries alt.binaries.schematics.electronic; useful if anyone wants to post antenna related diagrams and the like. 73 Brian -- Brian Howie |

email.me: In the United States, it is called "First Inventor to File". You can find more information at http://www.uspto.gov/aia_implementat...t_inventor.jsp. The main thing I need to know now is: can nothing but a full patent protect my own work from being effectively satolen from the instant I put it in the public domain, leaving me with absolutely no right to distribute or profit from it in any way at all? If that IS so, then the patent system is violently in need of serious reform, but as far as I'm concerned it basically means one thing: I shall never release my work. If the workd will not share it, it will die with me. End of discussion. |

... This thread is being overrun by the same Gareth obsessed crap But this thread was started off in that spirit! Perhaps it is you and Lostie who are polluting this NG with long-winded threads about nothing related to amateur radio or to antennae? |

. .. I will not release my code to the public domain unless there is a GUARANTEED way to prevent patent trolls and sharks from stealing it, a way that does not extort more money than I may ever earn before I even start to earn it! But from what you have been rabbiting on about (and polluting this NG with off topic irrelevancies) your code is trivial to a software engineer. |

So I hope we don't have to lose you. Thankyou. I will look into it. Two caveats though... The one free one I looked at so far isn't free if I want to post. The other is that the truly free ones may be a haunt of trolls, Eternal September is a namd I have read in contexts of posters naming some systems with a bad hit-rate for troll sources. What difference does it make if trolls use the same ISP for newsgroups that you do? You use the same roads as every bank robber, no? I think he was suggesting killfiling on all posts from Eternal Sepetember users . Otherwise that's correct, what you see on the newsgroups is independent to whom you subscribe. Brian -- Brian Howie |

... Thanks Steve. I'm quite sure the v*** old c***'s whinge will be treated with the respect it deserves. In the meantime I'll continue forwarding material to my contact at Chippenham police station. Certainly won't be losing any sleep So what does that make you as you yourself are triumphing that you are regularly reporting me? Sauce for the goose, etc? Stupid boy. |

Yes, the U.S. patent system is totally screwed up, and has been for years (some would even say decades). What that means a hothouse. A rainforest. Each new form only able to survicve in an exclusive location. A multiltude of privately held creations surviving mainly because no-one else knows they are there. The law of the jungle. Earth to Earth, dust to dust, even before death. No wonder the 'western world' is tanked. It's stifling its own growth and probably deserves to die. China will win, so long as it can continue to innovate. After all, it has done so for thousands of years longer than the US, the UK, and pretty much anywhere. It's communist historyu is a small abberation on that scale. Maybe the only hope of doing anythign other than returning to a mediaeval model here, is to live somewhere that has the power and disregard of 'Western' patents as China does, combined with the ability to defend itself. I'll settle for e the mediaeval model, as UK life and morals and social standards and political structure is headed back there anyway. Go with the flow, says I. |
