Microsoft's 911 Patent

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the thats-a-little-odd dept.

The register is reporting "'Microsoft was today granted a patent for accessing data used by the emergency services.' They quote from the application 'In sum, what is needed is a way to provide users with access to needed emergency information. This should be simple from the user's perspective, so that even very emotional users can find what is needed in a straightforward, yet comprehensive process.' Apparently the patent was filed one month after 9/11."

    John Kerry attempted to get a deferment for school but was denied. When Kerry Signed up for Swift Boat duty, the SWB job was easy as they didnt go up river and only patroled the coast (where it was nice and safe). While he was in training, a new Admiral in charge changed the the operations of the SWB to do river runs, which was quite a bit dangerous.

    Yea, John Kerry got pulled into Vietnam even though he didnt want to go. So he signed up for the easiest Navy duty he could find and it turned out that it was real war. So he tried to get a purple heart for every scratch he took so he could get out of Vietnam with asap.
