Browser Cookie Patent

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the fun-never-ends dept.

resistant writes "Here's more patent madness, this time on cookies used in browsers. (By now, even Forbes has a commendable attitude about this rampant greed)." This is actually a pretty interesting article for folks not so familiar with why patents are such a big deal in this day and age.

    Offtopic, I know, but it has to be mentioned =P. I think OSDN fired everyone but CmdrTaco given that he seems to be making all the posts.

      That's one way to prevent all the dupes!

      Assuming of course that Taco doesn't forget what he's already posted...

    Lol, I'd love to know what n00bie moderated Miguel de Icaza as "Redundant." Looking forward to m2 on that guy :)

    I assume it was the type of "n00bie" who's been around longer than you and knows that Miguel has a UID lower than 600,000.
    Just a guess though.

    Yeah, if Bush and Saddam had decided to kick each others' asses in an FPS game, instead of letting all hell loose, it might really save humanity.
