  1. They're a private company! on Cisco Applies For Patents To Secured TCP · · Score: 1

    They sued the Pentagon and won! If ever there was an example of the patent system fending off an agressor, that is it.

  2. Why should I do that? on Cisco Applies For Patents To Secured TCP · · Score: 0

    It's obvious to anyone who spends some time using Google that patents more often than not protect the companies that innovate for a living.

  3. I don't understand on Cisco Applies For Patents To Secured TCP · · Score: 0

    Why should I ask someone without a business perspective what's good for business? Wouldn't this be like asking someone without a technical perspective what's good for technology?

  4. That's simply not true on Cisco Applies For Patents To Secured TCP · · Score: 0, Troll

    Read these patent success stories. None of these innovations were perpetrated by a monopoly, nor by a company without a business model. In fact they are all authored by a succesful, innovative business.

    I have a suspicion that many people who are angry at our established patent system do not have a strong background in either law or business.

    Let's keep in mind that patents are in place to protect the innovators and keep them innovating. Yes, it sucks that maybe other vendors can't use this for a while, but that's the price of progress.

  7. You're wrong. on Life-Ruining Browser Hijackers · · Score: 1

    There are sites out there that can take over a browser and flood pornographic images into your cache. Below this comment is the URL to a site which can spawn infinite popup windows on IE or Mozilla which contain Scat Porn, Child Porn, and a very loud sound file. I will not directly link to it. If you access it with the highly insecure "Mozilla" browser, you are in deep trouble.

    One click is a felony; Hopefully everyone understands I'm not joking. This if fair warning.

    WARNING THIS SITE WILL HIJACK AND POPUP-FLOOD ANY BROWSER:

    It's cool how with the Shaftoe family he shows successful geeks through history. It's nice a nice change to see geeks portrayed in a positive light.
