    People who use their own personal machines to access sensitive information should perhaps be

    a 3G network enabled device.

  16. Look, we dont like patent trolls but.... on Beware the King of the Patent Trolls · · Score: 1

    They *paid* money to someone for their invention. Someone, supposedly,
    figured out something interesting, and, for whatever reason, decided
    to take his money and run rather than let the invention stagnate.

    Now, I don't like it when the patents are not for anything interesting
    or novel, but simply being a patent troll is not a bad thing. Being a patent
    troll of "obvious stupid" patents does seem like a bad thing
    and is more of a fault of the people who *granted* the patent
    to begin with.
