EFF Busts Illegitimate Subdomain Patent

eldavojohn writes "Unlike a lot of community support protection programs, the EFF's Patent Busting Project is starting to bear real fruit instead of just leveling the finger at offenders. The USPTO is revoking an illegitimate patent granted in 2004 that sounds like automatically assigning subdomains. Sites like Wordpress, LiveJournal, or basically anyone with generated subdomains have been doing this for quite some time. If you have some extra cash, now's the time to pony up a few bucks so the EFF can carry on as one of the few organizations genuinely protecting your interests."

Well, she might have been... Japanese ninjas do tend to look younger than they actually are.

The topic of sex with underage Japanese ninjas frightens and confuses the moderators because, little known fact, many of them have recently been tentacle-raped. In fact, if you wake up one morning with amnesia, a bloody asshole, and sucker marks all over your body, you too may have fallen prey to some oversexed, tentacled horror.
