Amusing Bits From General Council Magazine

I've paraphrased the following quite liberally so you'll want to do your own fact checking before reaping any of it.



Herman Miller Inc. cant figure out how to sue to protect its intellectual property (IP). It's products (high end executive office furniture) as well as those of other company's is being faked (often badly) in 2nd life. The crumby models are thought to reflect poorly on the IP holder. Creator of 2nd life (Linden labs) claims its an ISP as as such would be immune to a lawsuit. And the avatars peddling the knock offs could be anybody. Further, sueing those who might consider themselves fans of your companies products is bad PR.

Median Total Cash Compensation for a company's General Council by major region:
*West - Including Montana, rocky mountain states, Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico - NO DATA AVAILABLE
*Pacific Coast - $350,000
*South East ("the south") - $420,000
*North East - $438,000
*Central - (plains states, Texas, Michigan Ohio and Indiana) - $456,000
An interesting pattern of higher pay on the middle of the country?

After having her identity stolen by a hospital employee after the birth of her Son Mrs. Sloane attempted to repair her damaged credit. She ultimately had to sue Equifax and was awarded $351,000. About 1/3 actual damages and 2/3 "pain and suffering" and Equifax must foot her $181.000 legal bill.

Gun Free Zones are Unsafe


I'm sure the hysterical amongst you have closed your minds on the issue of gun control. If your so convinced that guns are all horrible and should be banned then don't read on. It will just upset you, and you probably just think less of me.


If your interested in the alternative to gun control. The alternative that has been shown to truly curb gun related crime, then I have an article for you to read. You might initially find the idea repulsive. It's a challenging concept for many. Your first impulse will be to dismiss it as counter-intuitive hysteria. But I encourage you to give it a fair consideration. Just because it is counter-intuitive doesn't make it wrong.

Dominos Pizza Equals City with No Condoms

Tom Monaghan, founder of Domino's, is building a city that will have Catholic inspired ordinances such as no contraceptives. I say, good for them! People should be free to live in any wacky community, with any wacky rules, they want to. It should be entirely opt-in; and since its a new city you cant get much more opt-in than that. Of course since I totally disagree with their philosophies I'll now avoid Domino's pizza like the plague.

Patent Madness

Simultanious Toasting, Sandwich Delivery Tool, and other things that make you not want a McDondalds.

LSI gets a patent for the linked-list". Which is about as dumb as giving Amazon.com a patent on the book.

A crappy local news story about how the goverment is experimenting with our weather. It seems like a total load of crap however there is a Senate Bill S 517 which is about weather modification.
