LinuxDefenders.org Launches To Fight Patent Trolls
eldavojohn writes "The Linux Defenders Network is a new organization sponsored by the Open Invention Network, the Software Freedom Law Center, and The Linux Foundation to help the community defend itself against patent trolls. Three models, or 'IP rights management tools,' are offered: Peer to Patent, Post-Issue Peer to Patent, and Defensive Publications. Mich Kabay's article in NetworkWorld cites an all-too-familiar incident from December, when General Patent Corp. announced it was working on behalf of Worlds.com to sue everyone — this probably could have been avoided with a little prior art help from the community. From the organization's about page: 'We encourage contributions from anyone that is interested in ensuring that innovation is not stifled by poor quality patents and is interested in assisting the patent office in its goal of improving the overall quality of patents.' Are these guys saviors arriving in the nick of time, or just another hopeless community effort to rein in the failing patent system?"
We're dicks! We're reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the Worlds.com people are pussies. And their lawyer is an asshole. Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they fuck too much or fuck when it isn't appropriate - and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves... because pussies are an inch and half away from ass holes. I don't know much about this crazy, crazy world, but I do know this: If you don't let us fuck this asshole, we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit!
I mean seriously, Linux Defender? Champion of freedom and justice and the smelly, unbathed, basement dweller way! Slashdot would own if it weren't for all the zealots on their holy crusade that no one cares about.
Don't forget to pay your $699 licensing fee you cock-smoking tea-baggers.
It is the original nature of conduct that the word of any well-mannered person should be accepted as fact in the course of good business. Microsoft products are used dominantly throughout the entire world because they are accepted as a valid product and expressed as a thorough and complete solution for the daily functions of a company. When a spokesman of Microsoft says that they think other persons not deployed by Microsoft, have infringed on Microsoft's intellectual property by copying it selectively into a non-competing or competing product dubbed "Linux", then we should accept that as fact until whomever makes "Linux" can prove otherwise in direct comparison of Microsoft's property (code) to the alleged offending code of Linux.
Hands down. No if's, and's, or but's. If Linux can't defend itself against all accusations against it, then development should be stopped on that unmaintainable device or product that uses it. I don't want to hear any more of this subject. Let it all die already. You all are non-conformists that make me sick. I should be able to turn on any computer and run software for Microsoft Windows they way that I imagine it should run. The same goes for Macintosh; it should all run the software on the store shelves, not some fanatics' special aisl of their own software. The U.S. Government, Internal Revenue Service, and municipal courts staff and tellers all use Microsoft's Windows operating system and software and that should be the requirement of every person just so they can interact with reality in daily life. You people all just erect obstacles preventing everyone from doing their job.
Get off your soapbox and find some real talent, because computer software and patents are obviously not yours but someone else's talent that you borrowed.
