It's not at all clear from the story that JP Morgan's patent copies Bitcoin.
The patent says nothing about the transactions being stored to a Distributed P2P Network.
Paying bills anonymously with zero transaction fees and competing with Western Union are hardly the areas in which Bitcoin distinguishes itself from other EFT systems.
And BitCoin is not anonymous. I don't think this is directed at BitCoin or more than slightly related. I think that the BitCoin-mania has distorted someones perception.
How about prescribing a non-american diet, and more physical activity.
The way that humans gain weight hasn't changed over time.
Our diets and activities have.

Just as gold and silver standards which was always "privitized" and was never a "tool" that was "centrally owned" by one figure.
I'm pretty sure that there is an argument that gold and silver, as far as macroeconomics is concerned, has been "public" and centrally controlled for a long time.
"According to research by Cormac Herley at Microsoft, scammers are looking for the most gullible people, and their crazy emails can help weed out people who are savvy enough to know better. "
Everyone above this line was either troll or trolled except "tsu doh nimh" which I'm pretty sure is this vietnamese gentleman's real name.
If apple can patent any word with a lowercase i infront of it, AND that implies copyright on the original word... Couldn't they patent every noun and verb in the dictionary?
One time I told a coworker that people should have their pets cryogenically frozen instead of sent to a pet boarding facility, or have a boarding facility that just freezes the pets, to keep them in perfect condition ofcourse.
The next day I checked my email, which I do about twice a month, and in my Junk Mail was an email suggesting exactly that. Normal-like spammer gobblygook, except it talked about cryogenically freezing pets when you go on vacation.
A) The government is reading my mind.
B) I'm on the Truman Show.
or C) Spam is highly coincidental sometimes.
You don't believe 3 different people can make the same kinds of noises coincedentally. Nothing is new, everything has been done and thought of. Especially when it comes to simple fucking noises!!! Come on! "Someone made that midi sequence 7 years ago in a country whose language I don't speak (so surely i've heard this track before?!), so i can't use it."
PS:
I can't believe the Post let some truth shine through:
"In other words, let's say people are forgoing paying for $6 billion in movies by downloading or consuming illegal goods but end up spending that $6 billion on iPods, computers and HDTV sets on which to watch the movies, which leads to $25 billion in job creation in the computer/software/consumer electronics field," Jason Shultz, staff lawyer at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, wrote in an e-mail.
A ripple in the rate at which the entertainment industry sucks up our money?
Or is the ripple effect money splashing into consumers wallets?
Its a buck that will be passed somewhere else.
Not to mention a millionth case of "We paid these people lots of money to say:... "
Pay an artist, @#$% a corporation.
I believe the "technology" is already in use by any given torrent client, not to mention scores of other p2p apps. Another stupid patent.
I'm currently drafting my patent on "Symbols arranged in an order thereby giving them meaning, and facilitate the exchange of information." Should this break through make me a trillionaire in court by sueing everyone who uses any langauge ever?
Our patent system sucks. Microsoft has the click and double click patented. How stupid can it get?
FREE INFORMATION, FOR EVERYONE
What happened to being banned from all electronic equipment until the age of 18? How about the little prick can't use email in any fashion? Why don't we punish him for the HACKING he did?

Lets lock him exactly where he committed the crimes. He probly already didnt leave his house!

They must have meant "to fight online activity"
not Java.
hopefully the 1% that were arrested were higher on their suspicion meter, and they can just change the threshold for who gets chosen.
but, they could just as well have it target more people >_>
