[04:18] schestowitz[TR2] The market just isn't right. [04:18] schestowitz[TR2] I may have to borrow a little. I'm not pay 7% interest like John. [04:18] schestowitz[TR2] DON'T! NOT the time to BORROW money! [04:18] schestowitz[TR2] DaemonFC: what happened to you? [04:19] schestowitz[TR2] By a little, I mean a small personal loan would do nicely. [04:19] schestowitz[TR2] Nobody wants to write out an auto loan if you get below a certain amount. [04:19] schestowitz[TR2] Duh. Because it is too risky, as it would be for a personal one too. [04:19] schestowitz[TR2] They want you in for at least $15,000 of the car and then they want to string you along with precomputed interest. [04:19] schestowitz[TR2] So even if you pay it off faster they make the entire amount. [04:19] schestowitz[TR2] here is the thing: [04:19] schestowitz[TR2] if people ask me for money, i say [04:19] schestowitz[TR2] why not ask the bank [04:19] schestowitz[TR2] the answer might be [04:19] schestowitz[TR2] "the bank won't give itt" [04:20] schestowitz[TR2] the response you give is, [04:20] schestowitz[TR2] so why should _I_ [04:20] schestowitz[TR2] the Fed does not bail out individuals for failed loans [04:20] schestowitz[TR2] you do not have debt collectors [04:20] schestowitz[TR2] you can only be nasty to people whom you know [04:20] schestowitz[TR2] so you end up being nasty in front of known people [04:21] schestowitz[TR2] as a 'gift' for being generous [04:21] schestowitz[TR2] so worst of both worlds [04:21] schestowitz[TR2] it would be a lot cheaper to relocate neat to the place mandy works [04:21] schestowitz[TR2] and get rid of cards [04:21] schestowitz[TR2] *cars [04:22] schestowitz[TR2] and a bad landlordddd ● Mar 29 [05:42] *jacobk (~quassel@nm9nu8gvkax2u.irc) has joined #techbytes ● Mar 29 [07:36] *x-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)

    UK High Court: Extradition Stops CIA From Killing Assange
    [12:38] schestowitz[TR2]
    [12:38] schestowitz[TR2]

    The High Court astonishingly stated [PDF] that the extreme measures considered by the CIA were intended to keep Assange from fleeing to Russia. If he was lawfully in U.S. custody after extradition, there would no longer be a risk that the agency would kidnap or assassinate him.

    [12:38] schestowitz[TR2]

    By drawing such a wild and erroneous conclusion, the High Court showed why they should have admitted the fresh evidence. Assanges legal team could have helped the judges better understand the chain of alleged events, but the court justified the serious allegations in order to avoid proceedings that would negatively impact the United Kingdom's relationship with a close ally.

[21:47] schestowitz[TR2] I have to get surgery on my shoulder. [21:47] schestowitz[TR2] Mandy took some days off and mom is coming up on the train to be with us that week. [21:47] schestowitz[TR2] But it'll be about a month and a half before I can do much of anything with my right arm again. [21:47] schestowitz[TR2] canceled? [21:48] DaemonFC Yeah. [21:48] schestowitz[TR2] good luck with the procedure [21:48] schestowitz[TR2] health first [21:48] schestowitz[TR2] Thanks. [21:48] schestowitz[TR2] Who knew that some fragments of bone just a couple millimeters could cause so much trouble? [21:48] schestowitz[TR2] good to cancel imho [21:48] DaemonFC Spoke to the doctor yesterday. [21:48] schestowitz[TR2] seems riskty [21:48] DaemonFC She said she got away from that hospital system when they weren't paying rent on their medical building. [21:48] schestowitz[TR2] I haven't been in so much pain since the chiropractor helped me out, but my arm is still impinged at a certain point. [21:48] schestowitz[TR2] The doctor says he thinks he can get the fragments out with minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery. [21:48] schestowitz[TR2] He said it shouldn't take more than an hour. I'll be under a general though. [21:48] schestowitz[TR2] doesn't matter how long [21:48] DaemonFC Half the doctors weren't being paid and bolted. [21:48] schestowitz[TR2] the length does not matter [21:48] schestowitz[TR2] they can leave it worse off [21:48] schestowitz[TR2] and then they say they tried their best [21:48] schestowitz[TR2] it's like car mechanics [21:48] schestowitz[TR2] but you can replace the car [21:49] DaemonFC She said get a second opinion and don't do it at that hospital because she wouldn't want me there if anything happened during the surgery.

    Use of preferably or for example in a claim is not generally objectionable. It simply means that the following feature is not limiting. A claim for a shoe, preferably a climbing shoe, means simply that the claim relates to a shoe in general and not to a climbing shoe. Such an expression is only objectionable if it introduces an ambiguity. I refer here to the Guidelines F-IV, 4.9.

    As fa [22:35] schestowitz[TR2] r as reference signs in the claims are concerned, their purpose is to increase the intelligibility of the claim, and they cannot be construed as limiting the claim. This does however not mean that any equivalent of the feature designated by a reference sign is part of the claim, unless this equivalent is disclosed directly and unambiguously disclosed in the description.

    Leaving in the description the optional character [22:35] schestowitz[TR2] of a feature introduced in an independent claim is, contrary to what you might think, introducing an inconsistency between claims and description.

    Claim interpretation is open to national judges and they can decide as they they think fit. Nothing would withhold a national judge to nevertheless consider the feature at stake as being optional, since it is said so in the description. It is certainly not for the EPO to pres [22:35] schestowitz[TR2] cribe a national judge how it has to interpret a claim under Art 69 and the Protocol, it is simply to avoid misinterpretations at national level by removing before grant any inconsistencies between claims and description as required by Art 84, support.

    Lack of clarity is neither a ground for opposition nor for nullity, hence it is important for the EPO to check, before grant, if all aspects of Art 84 are fulfilled, espe [22:35] schestowitz[TR2] cially clarity and support. Carrying out this check does by no way negate the crucial and obvious role of the description and of the drawings, if any, to gain understanding of and convey meaning to the terms of the claims.
