The USPTO's Reality Distortion Field

Authored by: albert on Wednesday, September 19 2012 @ 11:33 AM EDT

"it allows sites that would be
blocked if this was a conspiracy."

A really good conspiracy would do just exactly that!

The only reason for filtering in a business network is pornography, and even
those filters also block 'good' sites. 'Game' sites might be considered as well.
Why would such filters _selectively_ block the sites listed in the article?

I don't but it...

The USPTO's Reality Distortion Field

"most of my clients are idiots who don't know
what they want"

Well, I too am a contractor of a sort. *MY* clients know
exactly what they want, they just don't know how to express
it in the language of the geek.

It's my job to find out what they want and to my own
translation to geek. The time required is billable. Yay!

The worst are the ones who've already done some "design"
work, as in, "We want a relational database with these
tables..."
