I also hate what is being done to the middle class (of which I am a part of) and how their rights and buying power are slowly being stripped away.

It's phrased as if the wealthy guy owes something to the community, i.e.; as if he obtained his wealth fraudulently. That might be true

[quote who="Uvah" reply="5" id="3127796"]You mean like taxes?[/quote] Taxes are a necessary evil that benefits everyone. This only benefits the patent troll companies, in detriment of everyone else.
Everyone is going to recommend whatever they brought last. :) Just do a bit of research first and check the specs and what matters to you. Is it battery life? Screen resolution? Playing games on it? Lots of storage space? Whatever your answers are, there is one thing I highly recommend: either buy one with an SSD or buy one with an hard disk and replace it later with a Samsung or Intel SSD.

Most people probably don't realize how bad this really is, and how worse it's becoming. For instance, some time ago there were news about a famous patent troll (Lodsys) threatening to sue *individual* iOS developers over the technology used to, get this, 'click a button on an application and be taken to a web site' (e.g.; every 'Buy Now' button in existence). *Everyone* does this in one way or another, and there is obviously prior-art.

"ShackNews is reporting Activision Blizzard is being sued by Worlds Inc., for violating a patent on virtual worlds. The firm claims that games like Call of Duty and World of Warcraft violate its patent, and are requesting "fair compensation." The patent covers a "system and method for enabling users to interact in a virtual space," reports Games Industry International."

[quote who="Uvah" reply="13" id="3126431"]I tried Rocket dock once awhile ago and it left much to be desired. I'd much rather have Nexus and Objectdock. They play so nice together. lol[/quote] All three docks are great docks. Whichever the user chooses will depend much on personal preference, I guess. I love the simplicity and elegance of ObjectDock's v2 settings dialog, for instance. The only problem is that, sadly, RocketDock is now a dead end because development on

Hey!

I actually can, but I won't. At one point I even had the cracker's IP address, in fact. From that, you can imagine all havoc I could create in his machine if I wanted to (assuming the guy is not using a VM when cracking software). Not worth the time or the risk, I only use my powers for good (tcham tcharam, insert appropriate super-hero music to match my current Avatar). ;-)

There is actually a bit of truth in the history above. :-) Let me start by saying that I really hate with a passion the type of protections that inconvenience legit users (e.g; hardware locking, online activation, etc...), but I wasn't born yesterday either. So the protection I build into the code, although home made, is strong.
