Quote of the week comes from Dan Ravicher discussing Patriot Scientific’s troll-like behavior:

"While one can't blame them for doing what is in their self interest - much like one can't blame cockroaches for appearing when it is you who left crumbs on the counter - it is past time for our policy makers to ask themselves whether such activity is beneficial for the public, or is instead a siphoning of resources that could be better spent on doing technological research or passed on to consumers in lower prices for goods."
