The solution is very simple. Create a simple how to patent template website, then have every developer apply for patents on any business and software process that they can dream of. Within two years you'll choke the entire system into change. Make it impossible for anyone to do anything.
1st idea, the collection, aggregation, and transmittal of electronic messaging data during a waste evacuation process. (i.e. checking your email while on the toilet)
To the extent that the system is choked it means that the Patent Office grants patents without having the time to look at them, not that a backlog develops. You might notice that this has already happened.
Faxing is pretty expensive and we kept our in-house service as we receive well over 1000 pages per day. We're running Hylafax+ with iaxmodems (separate server) connected to our Asterisk based PBX. Soon the fax server and pbx will be running as virtual machines.
We've never been able to find a fax service that is reasonable for our volume.
That's not bad, thanks, I'll look into it. Our main issue is we've gone to a work from home model and there aren't any techs at the office to handle any potential issues with an in-house server and this has become a problem.
:( I once owned 2 next cubes with matching printers. Gave them away many years ago when I started downsizing. I miss them more than some ex-girlfriends :)
