    ... about it.

    Ask yourselves: Are software patents a good thing?

    Do not be tempted to say: "Yes, if used against M$"

    It is a question of moral judgement.

    ..a patent infringement lawsuit involving several patents related to Microsoft's implementation of "Chimney"

    I could be mistaken, but I think this might be the "chimney" patent in question.

    You think too much.

    P.S.: Having a similar point of view, I was rated "Offtopic". Keep in mind that being "thoughtful" does not attract the masses here. In a way, I am sad that I did not have the chance to participate here when this site presumably smelled the air of the internet as it once was (maybe) conceived.

    Will slashdot ever drag itself into the year 2005 and provide the ability to edit posts?

    I thought of this the other day, and I realized that allowing /.ers to edit posts would dramatically increase the number of trolls. You could put in something that is over the top flamebait, then change it and complain about the mods. Or, you could replace a highly modded insightful or funny post with trolling garbage. For that reason alone I like the idea of static posts.

    The NYU Computer Science Department is slowly removing sun machines and replacing them with dells running redhat enterprise workstation. Big improvement over a sunblade.
