Verisign Granted DNS Lookup Patent
mattgick writes "The Register has a story on how verisign was granted the DNS lookup patent (U.S. Patent No. 6,560,634). Scripts which check to see if a domainname has been taken would be in violation with this patent. A discussion on this subject is going on over here."
What do you say to that?
*sigh*
Yes, it may be short and unworthy of a reply, but it isn't really offtopic, is it?

John Kizon has now been linked to the Bali Bombings:
Covert investigation has now confirmed that Perth criminal John Kizon is undoubtably linked to the Bali Bombings. Kizon has secreted over $100 Million Dollars in Indonesia over the past two decades, due to his close relationship with the Suharto regime.
It is now confirmed that Kizon supplied 42 million dollars to the Al-Quaida network for the purpose of murder and mayhem. There are currently a number of vigilantes competing for the privilege of putting a high-powered bullet through Kizon's skull
It has been confirmed that associate of Perth criminals - David William MIller - is now just a matter of moments away from a high-powered bullet entering his frontal lobe.
Miller, a drug-dealer, pimp, and distributor of child pornography is soon to face the Vigilante Execution Squad.
He can be reached at:

How did things get this bad? Why aren't we meeting on a weekly basis to take action against this annoying destruction of the public domain?
:)
First how did things get this bad.. We let it happen. We were walking TV and all of a sudden the US passed the DMCA and a bunch of patents and.. No, actually its always been this bad. America has always been the property of Ford.
On to your next question. We are meeting on a weekly, daily, hourly basis to discuss these things. Its called slashdot.
Unfortunately we have no political power. But we do have far more "word of mouth" power.
But I have no faith in anyone ever fixing the system because almost noone knows what the verb love really means. Nobody understands that concept.
If you love someone you could never give them the death penalty or cut off their hand or hurt them physically in any way. Even if they are a terrorist. See, you don't understand what it really means to love your neighbor.
I define human as an intelligent being that loves all other humans, and right now the lot of you look like a bunch of animals to me.
OpenNIC is your friend.
