It's more in depth than this article and comes from someone who has been there, a good read..
I wonder what legal mumbo jumbo they would have if someone patented sex or any other normal everyday event. (OK, who is going to be the first to make a joke about that. Everyday sex and/. readers. Yes, yes, real funny) And would they patent different positions or just the whole act? Think of the licensing fees!
The method of penis insertion for purposes of pleasure and/or reproduction.
Just think if this silliness had always been around.
The United States of America claim, in the year, 1776, to patent a method for breaking ties with your mother country and establishing a new autonomous country. Methods include guns, cannons, and other secret strategies involving tea. Use of any of these methods require a NDA to be signed and notorized. Any other countries for the next 250 years must pay royalties and licensing fees if they wish to do the same. A list of basic human rights is also claimed, with the right to free speech only allowable with our low cost licensing scheme.
Meh, overstatement of earnings and other corporate wackiness, fake element discoveries, who cares!? Not me, because I just received a special "exclusive" offer from some people in Nigeria that is going to make me rich!! So you can take all your fake info and go away!;)
The record is unrefuted that Complainant has extensive trademark rights in the word "CANADIAN" for use in association with food, alcoholic beverages and a wide variety of clothing items.

Forget the twinkie defense or any other legal silliness, now we have the case of Molson Canada v. %2d%2d! I might cybersquat domain names just to get a court case named Big Company vs L33t Hax0r!
What is this guy talking about?!?!? I don't understand where he is coming from with this junk! This kind of stuff just makes me so angry!! What a load of crap!
Wait, what were we talking about again? Oh well I forgot, back to my game.;)
So instead, people use multiple programs to talk on multiple networks? Wouldn't that mean that Trillian is still better because you only need to download and install one program? You don't get one window, but you can at least eliminate some unused programs...
$14 million dollars to transport people 2/3 of a mile. Get a bike, rollerblades, skateboard, Segway or use those two fleshy things that go into your shoes. Why don't they test this somewhere more useful or at least a longer test track.
Features: Slashdot Manufactures Patents Threat

The sleaze has gotten out of hand; it's time to roast a company whose profits are directly linked to creating fear about proprietary products and ideas in their readers, who have to keep discovering new sources of fear to improve their bottom line - or in the absence of new discoveries, keep inventing new sources of fear. Yes, it's time to take on Slashdot.
According to Billboard, Eminem's album is number one with about 2.4 million sold in the last two weeks.
Then, according to this article, his album was the second most played CD according to Gracenote before it even came out, since people got their hands on pirated copies. This goes a teeny tiny bit against what the music industry is saying, it doesn't seem to be hurting Eminem's bank account.

It seems to me that your 4.7 grade level skillz just didn't understand the highly advanced 12 level writing skillz of the poster. Tee-hee, I love grammar checkers, they are just so stupid. As Ralph said on the Simpsons, "Me fail English, that's unpossible!" ;)
Yeah, let's get a REAL tight grip on everyone that plays and that will for sure get rid of all cheating and nasty people! It will work especially well if a majority of people vote off a player, because then it has to be accurate right?;)
There will always be cheaters, we can't just assume that by making more rules and letting people vote others off will solve anything. Remember, a lynching is a very democratic event where the majority decides what goes.
Let's see. We have a world where most people behave themselves, except for a small minority that run around stealing and causing problems. Yeah, that sounds so strange and alien!
The bottom line is that there are cheaters in every aspect of life, whether it be real or virtual. Game companies, much like governments, can only do so much. The rest of the problems people just have to live with. Virtual worlds will never be perfect and people will always try and ruin someone else's day.
I also remember reading about these folks who made their own neighborhood 100 Mbps fiber network. The screenshot of the FTP download speed is just plain silly. The creator of the page even mentions "and 25-40 Mbps is possible most of the time - that means it is their single hard disk limiting the speed!".:)
Can't companies pay Slashdot and it's readers a ton of money to do load testing on servers? Now that would be cool. We could give out a "Slashdot-Proof" certificate or something.
I was surprised to see
Moshe Bar's web server handle the slashdot load just fine. He even says, The server handling this site is a noname PII 500Mhz machine with 256MB RAM, Apache 1.3.20, Mysql 3.23, Linux 2.4.18 and two IDE 6GB disks. Very simple hardware, but it still can withstand the Slashdote tide.
So what troublemakers really should do is stop writing trojans/bots and instead concentrate on building a community website and make sure it becomes really popular. Then, when you want to unleash a DOS attack, forget bots, IRC and all that other stuff, just post it and away you go!:)
Hehehe yeah, two people referencing the Simpsons on slashdot! What are the odds!:) Next, more than one person will says Microsoft sucks! I think you have been wearing your aluminum hat a little too much, your conspiracy theories are getting the best of you. Or maybe this is some of your "tech" humor that I just don't get.;)
So I read this and thought, "What is this guy talking about?" So I went to your personal info page at http://slashdot.org/~DanThe1Man/ and read on it
I'm a comedian that likes technology and linux. I use slashdot to reach a small audience of people that might actually get my tech related humor. It sucks coming up with funny Unix jokes knowing that I will never be ever to proform them on stage:-/
The irony of this is more than a +5 Funny can ever allow, I laughed so hard I almost cried. Apparantly, you are not even a part of the "small audience of people" that you are trying to reach with your humor. I don't mean this as a flame,but geez, this is FUNNY.:)

Getting fooled into clicking on everyone's favorite goat link could be more than just embarassing now, it could actually cause some physical damage! ;)

Bah, 60%! Having a fatal heart attack reduces your risk of having Alzheimers by 100%! So get back to that high-fat diet! ;)

Sorry timothy, but hemos got first post(ed story) on you about those trains. ;)
And I might add, if people are really that lazy, 14 million can buy a helluva lot of rickshaws. :)

They give a brief mention to Kroger in the linked article as well..
This was also featured on Talk of the Nation on NPR last week. It is worth a listen.
