Canadian Company Claims RDF Patent
quinticent writes: "Looks like they are at it again. Companies seem to like to let a standard become, well, standard before pulling out the lawyers to claim they own a patent on it. Now some Canadian company is claiming they own a US patent on RDF (doesn't Slashdot use RDF?). When will the US government realize that allowing patents on common ideas is just wrong? The CNet article is here."
this first post is for our friends up north!
and it's patented.. ;-)
'mmmmmmmmm.... forbidden donut'
And they claim they own a patent to do that. Oh my god, I'm going to bust a gut. These people need to drink more beer and find a new profession.
Please paste all your "Blame Canada" south-park refernces here so that the moderators have an easier time moderating them down! Thank You!
A QUESTION FOR TROLLS: KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND THE "TROLL TUESDAY 2001" PAGE THAT SHOWS CMDRTACO AND ONE OF HIS GAY BUDDIES NAKED HAVING ANAL INTERCOURSE? I WOULD LIKE TO LINK THE PAGE IN THIS SONG...THAT IS ALL...
/. ain't profitable, pimp your boy whores for mo' bucks
Ladies and gentleman, put our hands together for the largest ass on the Internet
G to the izz-O, A to the izz-T, S to the izz-E
Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 8th wonder of the world
The ass of the century, oh it's timeless, GOATSE!
Thanks for clicking that link
You coulda been anywhere on the web
But you're here with me
I appreciate that...
G to the izz-O, A to the izz-T, S to the izz-E
Reading drivel on that press release 'bout VA (Linux)
Was wondern' why they changed their names
Dumped that dirt cheap stock, through with them
If I worked there, I'd quit, no way I'd work for them
Wasn't born a coder, I just make fun of em'
G to the izz-O, A to the izz-T, S to the izz-E
Porno for freezy keeps my hard drive so sleasy
Can't leave Everquest alone, the game needs me
Hex editing my name into VB progs, it ain't easy
Slashdot wanna IP block me, I hang up and dial back in
And somehow, I beat the lameness filter like Rocky
G to the izz-O, A to the izz-T, S to the izz-E
Not guilty, he who mods me down is not real to me
Therefore he doesn't exist
So poof... vamoose son of a bitch
[Chorus]
G to the izz-O, A to the izz-T, S to the izz-E
Reading drivel on that press release 'bout VA (Linux)
G to the izz-O, A to the izz-T, S to the izz-E
That's the anthem get'cha damn hands up
G to the izz-O, A to the izz-T, S to the izz-E
Not guilty ya'll got-ta feel me
G to the izz-O, A to the izz-T, S to the izz-E
That's the anthem get'cha damn hands UP!
Holla at me...
I do this for the posters
To let 'em know what enlarged ass look like... when they shoulda looked at that link closer
Show 'em how to avoid a room full 'o taco snot coaxers
Get some good trolls in before the story's over
Posts with redirect goatse links even get modded up
I'm dissin JonKatz for those 15-year-old boys he seems to have a crush
Pay for premium Slashdot? You gotta be kidding us
If
[Chorus]
Yeah...
GOATSE is back, trollin' parody of rap
Go on, click that link, view the crater in that crack
Like I told you sell boys, no
JonKatz does that so hopefully you won't have to go through that
I was raised on Windows, point and click
If you don't like that, you can suck my dick
Got an X10 camera, focused on my ass
Wanna see the picture, PayPal me some cash
Threshold under 0, why I got it so low?
Save good trolls on my disk, watchin' all the time for more
So you know I seen it all before
I seen redundant on karma whores when their link post was too late
Crapfloods and mod downs, the two things I hate
A good troll modded up, the two things is great
G to the izz-O, A to the izz-T, S to the izz-E
What else can I say about Slashdot, it'll turn a man gay
[Chorus]
G to the izz-O, A to the izz-T, S to the izz-E
(4x to fade out)

I do not want to sound stupid, but here it is anyway. What is RDF?
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
Steve Jobs is going to be really pissed! Especially with MacWorld Expo coming up next week.

Oh, I thought it was about computers and whatnot. I suppose this really is "Newz for Nerdz" so to speak.
WTF is WTF?
Why must you leave us WIPO?
