SBC Getting Aggressive With Frames Patent
mpthompson writes "Aspects of the SBC patent shakedown were covered previously on SlashDot, but the following article has more details including the royalty fee schedules on the two patents that SBC is seeking to enforce against web sites that utilize frames in their design. In short, SBC has asserted that it is the exclusive owner of a technology for "structured document" browsing - the use of frames to provide hyperlinks to documents displayed by a browser. Apparently the strategy by SBC is to set precedent against small web sites that will presumably capitulate before going after the big guys. Based on the fee schedule, SBC seems to be pretty serious about this whole patent thing and may not go away so easily."
A method, of slowing down trolls from getting the first post in a disscussion, by making them preview their comments first. Check those urls, you wan't that goatse link to work right?

Apparently the strategy by ***COMPANY X*** is to set precedent against small web sites that will presumably capitulate before going after the big guys. Whoah, Deja Vu. They've changed something in the Matrix. Be on your guard. Watch out Neo!
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of **insert current Slashdot topic**. Sweet!
Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Mac-10 manufacturers have no idea how their products will be used.
Doesn't quite hold water, does it?
