The New Yorker on Business Process Patents
caledon writes "The New Yorker has a clear, concise, nontechnical essay by its finance columnist James Surowiecki criticizing business process patents: Patent Bending.
'Although we have always had a vibrant patent system, we've managed to strike a balance between the need to encourage innovation and the need to foster competition. As Benjamin Day, Henry Ford, and Sam Walton might attest, American corporations have thrived on innovative ideas and new business methods, without owning them, for two centuries. In the past decade, the balance has been upset.' Makes the argument persuasively."
Abolish patents. It's a wonder few bring up this possibility.

Businesses need to share the things you want a piece of, but it's OK if they keep anything you don't want. At least, for now.
I'm sick of your blathering you fucking piece of shit! Why don't you go back up in my asshole where you came from you smelly excretion? You are a fucking twatsak you smelly cunt! Just because even one single brain cell from one Slashdot reader has more intelligence than you'll ever have doesn't give you the right to whine about it with your childish displays. I hate you! Do you hear that? I HATE YOU!!!! If I ever meet you in person, I'm going to punch you in the nose. Begone base bowel essence! You SOOOOO fail it in every aspect of your life! Who cares about the fucking first post you got. You still lost out on e the NAKED POST!!!! Because I am soooooooo NAKED!!!
I'll bet you are a fucking wigger too. I hate those turds. Stupid fucking redneck white supremacist bitches are upset because the black man is taking their women away. So what do they do? They try to act like they are black. Doesn't help though since they still have tiny cocks. Give it up all you wiggers out there! You all FAIL IT!!! A black man's cock will always be bigger than yours. If you don't accept that now, you will not make it through life. Acting like a black man is not going to help.
What's even worse is when you fucking wiggers come from the suburbs! You play at being "hardcore" when you'd run scared shitless if you were ever in my neighborhood. (And my neighborhood isn't even that bad. I've been in the real hood. With real drug dealers and real gunplay.) You stupid fucking pussies need to take a reality check and see how stupid you appear to everyone.
Fuckers. Every one of you. And especially you "man she male".
