And when did we start dropping the "to" after the word "help"? How did that happen? There's supposed to be an infinitive after "help"because a verb is being treated as an object. So, it would be nice for someone to help me to figure it out really quickly.

And why do people in southern Pennsylvania drop the "to be" after the word "needs". Nowhere else in the country have I heard that someone's car "needs fixed".

And while we're at it ....

Here is the verbage from the USITC.
"The exclusion order does not apply to handheld wireless communications devices that are of the same models as handheld wireless communications devices that were being imported for sale to the general public on or before the date of the order, June 7, 2007. However, the order does bar the importation of new models of handheld wireless communications devices that contain Qualcomm's infringing chips and chipsets. Thus, the order "grandfathers" models of handheld wireless communications devices being imported into the United States for sale to the general public on or before June 7, 2007."

I could care less if Joe Douchebag came up with the idea for text messaging back in 1979 and waited for someone else to invent it so he could cash in... dont punish me for buying a legitimate product from a legitimate company that might have sorta kinda stole someones idea.

Go capitalism, w00t!!

P.S. yeah i know this post has nothing to do with text messages... it's an example]]>Jun 8th 2007 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/07/feds-impose-partial-ban-on-qualcomm-powered-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/07/feds-impose-partial-ban-on-qualcomm-powered-phones/
I guess I shouldn't get started on frivolous patents, ridiculous copyright terms, and pharmaceutical patents & international IP laws that really actually kill people in poorer countries.

What a world.


(Sorry, engadget, this was way off-topic. But Rob, I totally agree. Couldn't our governments think about the consumer for once, not the corporations?!)]]>Jun 9th 2007 2:40AM
