HP Memo Predicts MS Patent Attacks on Open Source

Roblimo writes "A two-year-old internal HP memo has just surfaced that talks about how 'Microsoft could attack Open Source Software for patent infringements against OEMs, Linux distributors, and least likely open source developers. They are specifically upset about Samba, Apache and Sendmail.' NewsForge has the story, including the memo's full text, a response from Eben Moglen (who says the memo's author misinterprets part of the GPL), and a statement from HP saying they love open source, really they do, even though 'Microsoft continues to be one of HP's strongest partners.'"

    The hollow Time Cube in which the 4
    quadrant corners of Earth rotate, equates to
    your 4 corner bedroom, or to a 4 corner
    classroom which represents the 4 corners
    of Earth - in which stupid and evil pedants
    teach dumb students 1 corner knowledge.
    Each of the 4 corners of Earth is the
    beginning and ending of its own separate
    24 hour day - all 4 simultaneous days within
    a single rotation of Earth. Place 4 different
    students in the 4 corners of a classroom and
    rotate them 4 corners each. Note that they
    rotate simultaneously wthin the same Time
    frame as if only one is rotating - just as the
    4 different days on Earth rotate. 3D math
    applied within this hollow Cube would be
    erroneous math, as it would not account
    for the 4th corner perspective dimension.
    Place a 100 people within this Cubic like
    room and they will not increase the number
    of corners anymore than 6 billion people on
    Earth will increase the 4 corners of Earth.
    It is dumb, stupid, evil and unworthy of
    life on Earth to claim that this Creation
    Cube has 6 sides - or no top and bottom.
    Academia equates to a deadly plague.

    Creation of 4 simultaneous
    24 hour days, within a single rotation of Earth, empowers
    me above all 1-day gods and
    educated stupid scientists. I
    will wager $10,000.00 on it.

    All knowledge of the human
    word animal, is insignificant,
    when his fictitious word world
    is compared to Nature's own
    Dynamic & Harmonic Time
    Cube's Creation Principle.

    Hey stupid - are you too
    dumb to know there are
    4 different simultaneous
    24 hour days within a
    single rotation of Earth?
    Greenwich 1 day is a lie.
    4 quadrants = 4 corners,
    and 4 different directions.
    Each Earth corner rotates
    own separate 24 hour day.
    Infinite days is stupidity.

    Wisdom=Cubic testing of knowledge.
    Demand right to debate Time Cube,
    or you are unworthy of life on Earth.
    I can't believe that stupid ass students
    allow suppression of the Time Cube.

    Especially true in China.

    Which is why Bush is preparing to attack North Korea as we speak - to prepare for the next war with China in the next couple of decades when the rich oligarchs in the West decide to deprive China of being an economic superpower.

    Ever notice how when the rhetoric heats up about North Korea that hard disks go missing in Los Alamos?

    It's not a coincedance.
