1.) the grass is always greener (translation: other people tend to appear happier, more successful, etc... than they actually are; keep this in perspective otherwise you will not be happy with the simple pleasures right in front of you); 2.) meeting new people usually hinges on finding a common interest; since you are self-conscious about your English-speaking skills, perhaps start with a meetup group or association for people who speak your first language (you will probably be more confident in the environment); next, find a meetup group or association for your real favorite interest... http://www.meetup.com/ 3.) I find it easier to talk to other introverts like myself, because I know they are pretty much thinking the same things you and I are thinking, they often don't bullshit as much so you can trust what they are saying much more, and they often value your friendship and are overall better friends.

I missed that part - if this is accurate - then I agree that this could have an impact.

If "patent trolls" are formed as shell companies (located in the eastern district of texas) that have no assets other than the patent and enough to sue (i.e. corporation whose shareholders form it by merely contributing the patent and a nominal amount of funds), then this bill is useless unless it also permits piercing of the corporate veil (or equivalent for other limited liability entities such as LLC) such that the shareholders or directors are also liable for the attorney's fees of the defendant. Otherwise, why would a patent troll place assets other than enough to litigate in their shell companies?
