@bilmasripodcast @Chrysographer There are machines with double shifts, but some keyboard layouts had the different letter forms scattered across different keys (at least many older keyboards)

I repeat- I haven’t been this excited about a discovery since CRISPR. We found something enigmatic that, like CRISPR, is associated with microbial genomes. We have named these unique entities #BORGs

@ahmada2 يجوز هما بيستندو للمادة ديه؟ مع اني مستغرب جدآ من فكرة تحصيل رسوم على حاجة سقطت في الملك العام... المادة محددة حد اعلى ١٠٠٠ جنيه. في تعديلات على قرار (لائحة تنفيذية في ٢٠٠٥) بس الرسم متحدد "٦٠٠ عن كل ترخيص" "للموسيقى والغناء وعناصرها"

[Ahmed Ellaithy @ALaithy]

@ahmada2 على حد فهمي من المكتوب في المواد (شغلي اكتر مع براءات الاختراع، بس بحتك بالملكية الفكرية)، مش شايف ازاي ممكن يقرأ القانون بإن العمل مسقطش في الملك العام اذا وفاة كل اطراف العمل او اول نشر فات عليه ٥٠ سنة. (او يكون في اي مخرج). ميكانيسم الجمعية مش موجود في عالم البراءات
