Hey may be we can just get a patent on Terrorism (like Method to instill terror by destructive means) and then we can just sue anyone who is practicing terrorism with out a license!

Oh what a sad sad world we live in...

5) they can request authorization from Microsoft higher-ups to offer steeply discounted pricing."'

Isn't this a little bit TOO detached from the original source? This post sounds an awful lot like saying "A friend of a friend of this guy he knows heard that..."
