Hotel Being Sued for Using the Dewey Decimal System
cbull writes "Did you know the Dewey Decimal System isn't in the public domain? The rights are owned by the Online Computer Library Center. They are suing the Library Hotel in New York for trademark infringement. In addition, according to the article, libraries pay at least $500/year to use the system."
I would like to formally announce that I, hold the patent on "online posting". I will be fair to protect my rights, that's why if you get your internet license from me, you will be endowed with the legal rights to post online, for a small fee of 700 dollars per website, I know this seems unfair, but I hold the rights, no matter what, I must protect my property at all costs.
For those thieves who are illegally using my property, I will have my allies from the RIAA find you and build up a case, I'm sorry, but that's just not how thins work in america, you dont start stealing others' property. I feel this is fair and that the average person is dishonest about the amount of money they get, they get loads of money! minimum wage is just too high these days!
anyways, I bid you adieu and I plan to see money in my offshore bank account soon.
(btw, for those who didnt get it, it's a JOKE)
Man, forget the resizer - what is the first thing I am greeted with? THE EROTICA PACKAGE What kind of clientel do they have?
But you are right - that resizer blows.
The hotel does look really really nice. Actually sounds like a cool place to stay. ($250 and up a night)

It is human nature to take shortcuts in thinking.
Am I the only one who is actually annoyed by unmatched parenthesis in slashdot posts?
... too much Lisp.
We need a moderation of "Syntax Error: Unmatched ')'".
