Heeey . Don ' t do that . <| sep |> Here I was thinking it was , you know , like lasagna , only using chocolate sauce instead of tomato sauce . This is way less weird . <| sep |> Nice . Now i Needs a HOW TO counter argument video <| sep |> Oh i get it now ! Nice idea ! <| sep |> In the case of Don Imus I don ' t think I ' d call it a split second thing . By the time he insulted the basketball team he already had a wellearned reputation for saying inflammatory stuff , and that just happened to be the straw that broke the camel ' s back . <| sep |> lol . yeah of course it ' s impossible to steal the idea if everyone ' s given the idea in the first place , great contribution my dear Watson My dear Mrs . Hudson , we ' re talking about patents . Patentable technology has strict requirements . If you think I was talking about releasing the full information of the technology so people can just build it accordingly , you ' re wrong . It ' s enough to just do a public speech about your invention . Pretty much impossible to replicate the entire technology from that , but as soon as it ' s in the public domain , it ' s considered state of the art and your patent application will be rejected . Ideas ! patentable inventions , btw . I edited my previous comment to reflect that .
