Cornell University Sues Hewlett Packard

bmc writes: "Haven't seen this on any of the big news sites, but the local paper is reporting that Cornell is suing HP for patent infringement. The alleged infringement covers HP processors manufactured from 1995 to the present. How common is it for big universities to get involved in lawsuits like this?"

Hey, I can see why I might be the worst troll, but why wouldn't you want to be trapped in an elevator with me? If you're male, I'll leave you alone, and if you're female, you wanna ride my dick anyway.

Man, this is more fucked up than the Hall of Fame balloting.
