They're bound to grant it, and once they do, you sue them into oblivion for infringing it.
Think of it as an opportunity for even the dimmest of slashdotters to appear funny - go grabbing the funniest comments from the original story! For example:
"Luckily for me, my Ebay'd hard drives are safe: I only sell broken ones."
"Two MIT grad students bought used drives from eBay and secondhand computer stores.
Don't I feel inferior. I've done the same with used HD's in the past and I only have a HS edumacation."
"Your old HD is safe, I can get creditcard numbers faster on kazaa."
"Was it Pete Townshend's drive?"
"How do I destroy a HD? I just wait for my warranty to run out - it becomes unreadable shortly thereafter!"

It is only as ironic as having 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife.
A friend of mine used to have a yellow Lada Samara estate (big horrible tank of a car). Someone broke into it to steal the radio (being worth more than the car), so he didn't replace it, and never locked his car again.
However, the heater worked even without the key, so every Friday night people on their way back from the pub used to buy kebabs, jump in the car and turn the heater on for a comfortable snack.
When eminent biologist and author Lewis Thomas was asked what message he would choose to send from Earth into outer space in the Voyager spacecraft, he answered, "I would send the complete works of Johann Sebastian Bach." After a pause, he added, "But that would be boasting."
During the daylong sessions, participants will conduct normal routines, such as [...] excreting [...]. Closed-circuit video cameras will monitor all activities.
I wonder whether www.hypergravityScatology.com has anything to do with this?
This has been going on for decades - although rather than listen to tables, you would tend to listen to windows. You can buy devices that do exactly this, and secret services, police etc. have been using them routinely forever.
From what little experience I have (cheap 1980s Hollywood films) usually the operator is a Russian spy with a large beard and wooly hat, and the person being listened to is a US citizen.

Presumably you mean Googling(TM)?
I propose applying to the USPO for a patent on

It's basically a win/win situation
Presumably you meant "Win/Win"

Bugger Off.
The comment was not highly insightful. I just looked at it, and it is at (Score:3, Insightful).
I think you'll find it's only moderately insightful.
I mean, it's still the third article on the developers page.
Phew - for a second there I thought you were going to suggest May the fourth.
This news should really help my forthcoming paternity suit.
Thanks slashdot!
I'm afraid I can't do that Dave

Half way down that google news page is a link to this story on Slashdot about google news.

Wow! No more NaN errors - I've been waiting for the IEEE to fix FP arithmetic for years now.
