schestowitzQuestion.... should the site be renamed?Mar 30 01:20
schestowitzI got this from a reader:Mar 30 01:21
schestowitz> How about posting a statement saying you don't like the name, and youMar 30 01:21
schestowitz> never did, and saying why.  It could continue asking people to pleaseMar 30 01:21
schestowitz> support a change to a name that would better express the site'sMar 30 01:21
schestowitz> mission and could make it more effective.Mar 30 01:21

schestowitz> Then you could suggest some names you are considering, and ask peopleMar 30 01:21
schestowitz> which they like, and invite them to send you other suggestions.Mar 30 01:21
schestowitz> Mar 30 01:21
schestowitz> Reading and considering those suggestions will take work, but youMar 30 01:21
schestowitz> might get a good suggestion, and the readers, having participated,Mar 30 01:21
schestowitz> will get to like the idea.Mar 30 01:21
schestowitzThat seems worthwhile. I think I ought to start asking and finding out about a rename, esp. if Novell gets sold.Mar 30 01:22

ThistleWindtrue, which is a large part of what you doMar 30 01:47
ThistleWindkMar 30 01:47
schestowitz"Watch" comes with the negative entityMar 30 01:48
schestowitzLike "GM Watch" or "GateWatchers"Mar 30 01:48
schestowitzI think we can reconcile this today  and I can do some brandingMar 30 01:48
ThistleWindprob with finding a name is finding a domain name to match, and most of the cool ones are goneMar 30 01:50
schestowitzNo need for domain for nowMar 30 01:51
schestowitzThe domain name is too long for most people to noticeMar 30 01:51

NZhereticd patents continue to enjoy a statutory presumption of validity? Why should that be so where, in some fields, the resources of the Patent Office are inadequate to do the correct examination?
