Linked List Patented in 2006
An anonymous reader writes "Congratulations are in order to Ming-Jen Wang of LSI Logic Corporation who, in patent #10260471 managed to invent the linked list. From the abstract, "A computerized list is provided with auxiliary pointers for traversing the list in different sequences. One or more auxiliary pointers enable a fast, sequential traversal of the list with a minimum of computational time. Such lists may be used in any application where lists may be reordered for various purposes." Good-bye doubly linked list. We should also give praise to the extensive patent review performed by Cochran Freund & Young LLP."

Bandwagon jumpers are not welcome among real Mac users. Keep your filthy PC fingers to yourself.
Yes, but Funny mods don't bestow karma, so funny posts have to be modded Insightful, which of course means insightful posts have to be modded Funny. Duh!
We really, really don't want to look at any more pictures of dirty Thai transvestites. Everyone already knows that trannies love Macs, that isn't news. If you have any picture of attractive, non-transvestite, non-transexual Mac users, we'd love to see them. It would be nice to know if such people exist.
