According to 18.37.3 and 4, microorganisms cannot be excluded from patentability. I assume this is to allow patenting of things like probiotics. However, all humans rely their skin…

Thanks to rms for all of his work! Emacs is still my favorite text editor when in a terminal window, which is most of the time. Maybe one day I'll really embrace vim also, but it's…

I'm saying that > 50 years is a long time and a lot can happen. I could have also pointed at Google's Sunroof project as an example of a large company betting that solar can compet…
