Major MMO Publishers Sued For Patent Infringement

GameboyRMH writes "The Boston Globe reports that major MMO publishers (Blizzard, Turbine, SOE, NCSoft, and Jagex) are being sued by Paltalk, which holds a patent on 'sharing data among many connected computers so that all users see the same digital environment' — a patent that would seem to apply to any multiplayer game played between multiple systems, at the very least. Paltalk has already received an out-of-court settlement from Microsoft earlier this year in relation to a lawsuit over the Halo games. If Microsoft can't fend off Paltalk's legal attacks, the odds don't look good for their latest group of targets."

What's hard to remove is nigger grease. If you have ever gone to a swimming pool only to find that a bunch of blacks are already swimming in it then you know what nigger grease is all about. It is easiest to see right after they exit the water. It's a thin film on the surface of the water deposited by the vast quantities of oil that their overactive glands produce. Seriously we can be carbon neutral tomorrow if we found a way to make biodiesel out of it as the supply is abundant. Anyway, if you swim in a pool like that you will feel yourself coated with the nigger grease. It is not pleasant. Is there a filter somewhere that can remove even KFC-fortified nigger grease?
