MS vs AT&T Case Stirs Software Patent Debate
Stormwave0 writes "A Microsoft appeal against a decision for AT&T and their speech recognition patent has reached the Supreme Court. AT&T has argued that they did not license software using the patent for sales overseas. Microsoft, in the original case, argued "that it wasn't really liable for infringing on AT&T's licensing rights because it only supplied the golden disk to the replicator one time, and that disk did not really contain software in a usable form anyway." With that argument rejected, the case has moved in an unexpected direction. The court is now debating whether or not software is actually patentable."
did a real good job being an AC, didn't you...
Correct but it doesn't fit the 150 character limits Slashdot imposes, I had to make it shorter. I prefer GBS version though...
The Wise adapts himself to the world. The Fool adapts the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the Fool.
Congratulations on first post, but your grammar is atrocious. Several of your sentences don't actually make sentences. And it's 'lose', not 'loose'.
In the hopes of trying to be helpful and follow up on this comment, I would like to add that it's "just won't stop" not "just want stop". Sadly, I've seen a lot worse than this. At first I thought it was just our American educational system failing to do its job, but I see truly horrible examples of grammar regularly on various forums from people in Canada, the UK, Australia (right now they seem particularly bad to me) and New Zealand, so it's not just us.
