Patenting In The Burst Test

gerddie writes "Heise has an interview with S. Kiesewetter-Köbinger, a patent examiner of the German PA, about the cultural break, software patents will impose to Europe if they become valid. He points out the danger to open source and science, and that with patents on software even mathematical methods would become patentable because there is no longer any difference. There is also a companion article competition in the court room, that gives some more insight in the history and current state of the patent system. All is in german, but as always the fish is your friend."

Your first post (#8) was in resposne to post #3, which was a (somewhat illiterate, I'll admit) attack on the Nazi people.

    I've been talking to my friend Chris who works with the ADL, and I told him to check out your intial two Slashdot posts, and he agrees with me that they were clearly intended to insult Jewish people. He's printed out your stuff, and during a meeting tomorrow he's going to propose that the ADL issue a boycott against Trilucid Communications for its administration's radical racially insensitive views. He says the chances of a boycott are good. Trilucid Communications could lose some business over this, because millions of Jewish Americans monitor advisories from the ADL, and tend to take boycott issues very seriously. The non-Jewish press may pick up on it also, you never know...

      Alrighty then, time for yet more fun information. Our company President and Chief Network Architect (Robert Meltz) is Jewish himself. His father is the Dean Emeritus of John Marshall Law School, and a dear friend of mine at that (also Jewish). Some of my best memories of the last two years have been evening discussions with Mr. Meltz.

      This really bites, hard. Through high school, I actually got in more fights with racist idiots than anyone else, mostly because they insulted Jewish or black friends of mine. I know this is a public forum, but I'll admit that all this disturbs me greatly. I'll be more than happy to openly discuss this with ANYONE to clear up this confusion.
