It will be tied into the aircrafts autopilot system, thus being done "with a computer" thus invalidating any prior art and qualifying for patent protection for that reason as well.
Obama was elected on the idea that he wasn't G. W. Bush and generaly failed to live up to that megar expectation. Romney is running on the idea that he isn't Obama and if elected the American public will probably be likewise disappointed.

The legal system apparently doesn't buy into the whole 'All software patents are math and are therefore invalid' argument.
My argument is as follows:
A patent for "Doing some process the same way you did it before but using a computer" - Bad patent
A patent for "Doing some process on a computer which isn't blatantly obvious on how one would use a computer in the process" or "Performing a process that would not be possible without the use of a computer" - potentially not bad patent.
Even "Process for enhancing an existing process by using a computer' might potentially be patent worthy if it is in fact a novel approach and not simply adding a computer to an existing process. (in other words, do the same work as a human, only faster.)

Response from Microsoft: Let the bidding war begin!
This thread needs to go the way of the Dodo.

I get it now! Romney wants to become part of the 47%!
The AutoCAD file for the Death Star must have been humongous. Transmiting a file that large would have exceeded their data caps.

I submit the Kardashians and Honey Boo Boo as evidence to support your claim.
Did they find those WMD's yet?
Yes, but they could never make the place where they filed down "Made in USA" look inconspicuous.
At first I thought they were teaming up with Cee Lo Green for F*** You service (or the more family friendly Forget You service if you prefer)

If you paid money for a Vanilla Ice CD you deserve to be sued.
Measure performance based on lines of code put online. That should help efficiency.

Her comeback to this should be, "I KNOW the difference between fantasy and reality. Apparently, my opponent does not."
Knowing the difference between fantasy and reality could be a handicap in the world of politics.
