Microsoft Assembles Patent Arsenal for Longhorn
stock writes "The heat is on. Inside eweek.com are some remarkable articles: 'You see, Microsoft is busy patenting everything it can lay its hands on with
all three. In fact, Microsoft is now building up its patent arsenal, applying
for a rather amazing 10 patents a day. The idea isn't to ensure that
Microsoft makes a fair profit from its patents; it's to make sure that no one
else can write fully compatible software.' An older article mentions some other patents."
Is it any wonder people think Linux users are a bunch of flaming homosexuals when its fronted by obviously gay losers like these?! BSD has a mascot who leaves us in no doubt that this is the OS for real men! If Linux had more hot chicks and gorgeous babes then maybe it would be able to compete with BSD! Hell this girl should be a model!
Linux is a joke as long as it continues to lack sexy girls like her! I mean just look at this girl! Doesn't she excite you? I know this little hottie puts me in need of a cold shower! This guy looks like he is about to cream his pants standing next to such a fox. As you can see, no man can resist this sexy little minx. Don't you wish the guy in this pic was you? Are you telling me you wouldn't like to get your hands on this ass?! Wouldn't this just make your Christmas?! Yes doctor, this uber babe definitely gets my pulse racing! Oh how I envy the lucky girl in this shot! Linux has nothing that can possibly compete. Come on, you must admit she is better than an overweight penguin or a gay looking goat! Wouldn't this be more liklely to influence your choice of OS?
With sexy chicks like the lovely Ceren you could have people queuing up to buy open source products. Could you really refuse to buy a copy of BSD if she told you to? Personally I know I would give my right arm to get this close to such a divine beauty!
Don't be a fag! Join the campaign for more cute open source babes today!

Anyways, they are probably just trying to simulate something Apple is so famous for. They'll never succeed.

And that justifies the crimes
Liberals! Faggots!

Don't like what we say?
Well FUCK YOU, bud!
We'll shove it down yer throat
and tell ya it's good!
Interesting...so what's the plan for that other bastion of patents-out-the-wazoo, IBM? You know, the Linux hero in corporate clothing?
/. any more...pointless and uninteresting articles with scant information (especially from Michael), and futile arguments and knee-jerk paranoid reactions masquerading as discussion.
See, this is why I barely come to

One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Apple community when Slashdot pie magnet CowboyNeal confirmed that his baseball bat has dropped yet again, now down to the fragile case of his worthless Apple Powerbook. Coming on the heels of a recent GNAA survey which plainly states that CowboyNeal has finally LOST calories due to his savage beating upon his shitty Apple Powerbook, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Apple is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by CowboyNeals powerbook being smashed into pieces like Rob Malda's anus at a GNAA press conference
You don't need to be a CowboyNeal to predict Apples future. The smashed casing is on the wall: Apple faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Apple because Apple is dying. Things are looking very bad for Apple. As many of us are already aware, Apple continues to be bat raped. Sweaty enraged blubber flows like a river of blood.
Apples Powerbook is the most endangered of them all, having been smashed to a bloody pulp by resident obese slashdot editor CowboyNeal, who was quoted as saying, with sweat and fat streaming down his several chins, "FROM NOW ON THE ONLY MACS I'LL BE BUYING WILL BE BIG MACS". The sudden and unpleasant departure of his unwanted and crippled powerbook only serves to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: Apple is dying.
Fact: CowboyNeals powerbook is dead

Tremendous innovators such as microsoft deserve to be rewarded with short term patent-monopolies to use their inventions - otherwise why bother to innovate? Mono would just have to use alternate api's or wait for the patents to expire to attain 100% compatibility.
Before adopting WHATWG, read the moonlight.NET EULA [http://www.microsoft.com/interop/msnovellcollab/moonlight.mspx]
Yeah, right. As if the so-called opensource community ever came up with any innovation. They keep busy by copying other people's inventions. Once the markets of the innovative companies are destroyed by copycat opensource products the consumer will finally realize how "innovative" the "opensource community" really is.
Yeah, right. Microsoft is a true innovater as well. They invented the point and click GUI, the desktop paradigm, they were early adopters of the internet, invented the web, hell, they invented the GODDAMN COMPUTER INDUSTRY!! ALL HAIL THE INNOVATIONS FROM MICROSOFT!! Where would we be without them?????
Get a grip Slashdot sheep - the article on eWeek is an OPINION piece! Don't reply to this as if the article were full of facts - it isnt'.
Your mind looks a little cramped. Why don't you stretch it a little?
