SCO recently sent a letter warning some Linux users (approx. 1500 people) that they could be sued for using SCO code. About 2500 Linux users then signed a petition and issued a challenge, basically daring SCO to sue.
Implementing a step function on applications fees might work. For example, for the first 10 patent applications you'd pay the regular price and for every 10 patents afterwards the price would go up.
Of all my friends who are Star Trek fans, none of them watch. I know of only one person who regularly watches Enterprise and she traditionally skips this type of show.
Sure, it's not a representative sample but from what I see Enterprise just doesn't appeal to its expected audience.

Basically OT, but you've been warned.
Is there any system on the slashdot site that tracks the speed in which posts get added? It's been about 35 minutes from the original post and there are about 395 comments (problably another 100 more when I'm done typing).
It seems that in the future, every world event will get commented on in real-time.
What about when you get spam in the future? In the new Outlook would those spammers be able to restrict your permissions on their email and make it undeletable?
Everyone would love being a repository for spam. Oh wait, we already are.
I have very dry hands and I've noticed that I can actually tell when someone else has been using my computer. After a few keypresses, I can feel extra bit of oil that someone else has left.
I guess in a way dry hands can be security feature. Now if only I worked on something that needed security.
Then we could sue for lack of quality programming. I'd love to see the CEO's expression when he finds out about a class-act lawsuit. Who cares if the whole lawsuit is frivolous?
Of couse... I'd want my share if any settlement occurs.....

Thousands Say 'SCO Sue Me'
You wouldn't believe how long I've been waiting to use that line.
Well maybe you would.

Time travel works! That's why this article is 6 days early.

I wouldn't trust a penis enlarger from any company whose name consists of 'micro' and 'soft'

Next the RIAA will be charging everyone for use of air, since that's the medium we use to hear pirated mp3s.
Two atoms are walking down the street.
The first atom slips on a puddle and falls.
The second atoms helps the first stand up and asks" Are you ok?"
The first atom replies, "I think I lost an electron."
"You sure?" asks the second atom.
"Yeah, I'm postive."
People who knowingly listen to NSYNC/Britney should have their DRM rights taken away.
Of course, no mention how long those line are...
