Microsoft Wins Summary Judgement in Smart Tag Case
dan2bit writes "Business Week reports that a judge in Wisconsin handed down a summary judgement today in favor of Microsoft, defending itself from a patent infringement suit brought by small fish Hyperphrase over the embedding of 'Smart Tags' in Microsoft Office. The suit also produced some amusing minutiae."

Legal humor. I didn' think it could get any worse than "in Soviet Russia...", but I guess it has.
I tried reading one of the "funny" rulings.. but after about a paragraph i fell asleep.

Our company has a close partnership with Microsoft and the main concern that our executive board has, is that Microsoft does not appear to take privacy concerns too seriously. We are a manufacturer of electronic devices and thereby are always under intense scrutiny by the FCC and the Homeland Security Office.
We have proposed a twenty-page plan to Microsoft in which we describe that education is the key. Get your client's permission before you take certain liberties. Their response has been positive and we look forward in adding more value in our products with this direction.
Which is nice.
No wonder there aren't any posts on this article, everyone has fallen asleep reading the long-winded crap that was linked. I saved myself with a quick click on the back button.
I thought I was the only one who did that as a kid! Except I always went after Jenny Jacobs.
Oh, I'm a Republican
I got a small schling
I like to bomb niggahs
and make a lot o' bling
I got a bunch o' friends
in high up places
They helps me get dem
government graces.
You think I'm smart
I just know who's who
I couldn't run a fruit stand
without the red white & blue
Don't need no history
Don't need no schoolin'
I got my ideology
To keep me a shootin'
I fancy myself
A brilliant tactician
But neither me nor m'buddies
Could even pass basic trainin'
See, I'm above all that
A fightin' and shootin'
I just say "Sic em!"
Then run the other direction
Liberals! Faggots!
Commies and queers!
Socialist hippies
Full o' pussy tears!
I'll drop some crap
about Jesus the Christ
You'll buy it all
and vote for me twice
'Fact, Jesus is comin'!
Real soon, now!
So we gotta prop up Israel
That ol' sacred cow
Propaganda's m'friend
But I calls it "fact"
Even though I don't read
'Cept for Chick tracts
Facts? No! Don't need em here!
We're conservatives! We work on FEAR!
Don't like what we say?
Well FUCK YOU, bud!
We'll shove it down yer throat
and tell ya it's good!
Flamebait? Puh-lease. This is just a really efficient crapflood.
Remember to watch for those pesky slashdot spaces...
