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."

  1. This might be a good thing. by Krapangor · · Score: 1, Troll

    The whole internet was developed by American taxpayers dollars - the TCP/IP/UDP etc protocols, the everywhere used BSD stack and many more things.
    So I don't have a problem when American companies get their IP rights secured by patents such that the invested taxpayers money will give some revenues.
    If forgein people don't like this they should invent their own network protocols. The American science community is not a tax financed charity organization.

  2. yeah the crooked cops are cuntz by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    We here in Perth, Western Australia live in the most corrupt society in the western world. The filthbag crooked cops (cuntz) who have been running this state for the past century have never been in fear of being caught.

    Just look at our news for today:-

    A filthbag pig cunt was known to be crooked for over 20 years but was left to perpetrate his crimes - resulting in the death of a protected witness (Andrew Petrelis who was testifying against John Kizon and Michael Rippingale. for drug conspiracy.)

    Then we have the dipshitfukk in charge of prisons caught for spending taxpayer dollars on strippers, hookers and booze.

    We live in a state controlled by the mafia. These cuntz suck bigtime. I am presently developing a number of extermination protocols.

    So now we have a Royal Commission going on they are starting to catch these cuntz.

    A murderer named Craig Christian was busted yesterday for possession of two illegal weapons, silencer, and half a kilo of amphetamine. (and other charges) The best part is he will lose his black Mercedes' and multiple businesses/properties because of our new drug confiscation laws.

    Craig Christian is a murderer and thought he was protected because he is best mates with John Kizon - SUCK SHIT CUNT HA HA HAAH HA HA HAAH HA HA HAAH HA HA HAAH HA HA HAAH HA HA HAAH HA HA HAAH HA HA HAAH HA HA HAAH HA HA HAAH HA HA HAAH HA HA HAAH HA HA HAAH HA HA HAAH HA HA HAAH HA HA HAAH HA HA HAAH HA HA HAAH HA HA HAAH HA HA HAAH HA HA HAAH HA HA HAAH

    It's the fault of the government for allowing corporations to exist, and to influence the law.
