Seriously - its a good thing that there's a patent on this. The more heavily patented (with associated royalties, etc) something is, the less likely it is that industry will actually use it...
Probabaly is a good thing. But even better: just thought that if someone, maybe the slashdot community;), should setup their own patent company. Then make claims to patents like this one before anyone else does. Instead of implementing the patented technology they disallow anyone from implementing it. Thus protecting the world from crap like this... they'd be the greenpeace of technology.
