Interview With 'Idiot' Behind Key Software Patent

An anonymous reader writes "Last week, an appeals court ruling opened the door to making it easier to kill software patents. It turns out that the guy whose name was on the actual patent didn't even realize it was at the center of the debate, and doesn't like software patents very much. 'So I was thinking — great they invalidated software patents, lets see what crappy patent written by an idiot they picked to do it — then I realized the idiot in question was me.'"

    I would stop looking at religion and start looking at big business and, yes, rich people. The ignorant people you speak of are the 95% of those voting Republican who make less than $100K. Death tax, my God!
