Posted by kdawson on from the all-my-trolls-live-in-texas dept.

Newer Guy writes "Wi-LAN, another patent holding company, has sued 22 companies that make or sell wireless routers. Defendants include Apple. Atheros, Belkin, Best Buy, Buffalo, Dell, HP, Intel, and Lenovo. Wi-LAN has a portfolio of more than 280 issued or pending patents." Of course the two patent suits were filed in Marshall, Texas.

    I think you missed the boat on that one by at least 6 years.

    Really? We're acting like "old school imperialists", are we? Where's my $1/gal gas then?

    And I know it's popular to trot out that tired cliche. How do you hate 300 million people?

    How do you hate 300 million people?

    By calling them imperialist running dogs on an online forum?

    Meanwhile, you can tag my mood at the current US foreign policy as shellshocked

    And what specific aspect of our foreign policy has you "shellshocked", because I think it's been a lot less stupid lately. Iraq was/is a disaster, but we are working with the international community to find acceptable solutions to the problems with Iran and North Korea. Granted, that doesn't defend the previous actions of the Bush administration, but I'm wondering just what it is we are doing right now that has you "shellshocked"?

    You could start by getting a sense of humour.

    Yeah, because your post was so obviously labeled as a joke.....

    HAHAHAHAHAHA! Thanks for that, I now know exactly how ignorant you are.

    By calling them imperialist running dogs on an online forum?

    Wow, if that's hate in your world, I'd hate to see what happens when someone, say, cuts you off in traffic. It's a relic of the cold war, meant as a joke, but..

    Yeah, because your post was so obviously labeled as a joke.....

    Yes, I'm so sorry for that. From now on, I'm putting /joke tags where needed, so pissy little fucks like you don't have to blow their tops. Sheesh.

    And what specific aspect of our foreign policy has you "shellshocked"

    Umm, not really any of your damn business. I was clarifying my position as not hateful, but we've already established you have reading comprehension problems. Having said that...

    Iraq was/is a disaster

    Make up your mind.

    but we are working with the international community to find acceptable solutions to the problems with Iran and North Korea

    More rolling around on the floor laughing my ass off. You're clueless. Get your head outta Time magazine's ass, and get a wider perspective, then get back to me.

    but I'm wondering just what it is we are doing right now that has you "shellshocked"?

    Gearing up the propganda mill to underwrite an invasion of Iran? Iraq was stupid, but what it looks like they're trying to do borders on the insane. There's plenty more, but that's number one on my list right now.
