MeanMF writes "eWeek reports that a jury has ruled in favor of the defendants in a patent infringement lawsuit brought by an electrical engineer who clamed rights to a technology used in the SSL protocol. Not only did he lose the case, but next week the jury will rule on whether his patents are valid at all."

    It's good to be an American. If you'll excuse me, I've got some patents to go draft.

    Holy ----! I have been reading Slashdot for, I dunno, a couple years now and I never noticed the meaning of the Patent icon before. Patent the fork! Get it?

    I'm not joking either, I never realized it! ;-)

    Do you really believe the stuff you write?

    I mean, Christ, you're worse than those people at the peace rallies. I showed up to discuss politics and world events with rational intelligent people. Instead, there were like 2 or 3 socialist scumbags who didn't know the different between the White House and White Castle, and they were spewing forth such idiocy thru their megaphones that I just left. I was disgraced.

    You wanna know why there's no peace? Because the stupidest of the stupid always seem to get the microphone.
