Microsoft's 'Naughty or Nice' Patent Application

theodp writes "Those of you worried about Microsoft's stance on network neutrality won't find much comfort in the software giant's just-published patent application for systems and methods to facilitate self regulation of social networks through trading and gift exchange, which classify users as good or bad and call for network bandwidth to be reduced for those deemed 'less desirable.'"

    Probably this would put an end to the Trolls. Who knows? The one who would take the hit would be the AC.

    This whole article is full of crap.

    What I want to know is why Pluto is now a dwarf planet. But a dwarf planet is not a planet?? So, I guess a dwarf human is not a human????

    I find this whole planetoid debate quite alarming, as it may be applied to future generations and give rise to new human sub classifications.
