But, looking for a bright side to all this, it's good that software patents are this crazy because the situation will become unstable to the point of collapse sooner or later.
Don't worry boys, at the rate them injuns are shooting they'll soon run out of arrows! - General George A. Custer.
People with farming backgrounds could be able to get hold of ammonium nitrate, and mixed with fuel oil, that can be enormously devastating.
The thing is, nobody knows that. Or rather they didn't, till you opened your big fat mouth. Now it'll be all over the intarwebs in minutes. It's only a matter of time before some nutcase uses this knowledge to blow up a large government building, and it will be your fault. God help us all.
Not just replication, there are activities that aren't productive at all. For example rivals can each spend millions of dollars on advertising, with the net effect that they cancel each other out.
Have you ever encountered "reading the full post before replying"?
Clearly not, or you'd have seen: "Are you serious? Sadly, you probably are. Tragically, they probably will.". Then you wouldn't have made a total ass of yourself by flaming someone by agreeing with them.
If you need a book then I don't really want you messing with my kernel.
Nonesense. Kernel programming is so different from the application side that even for a competent C dude there's a lot to learn - why not benefit from someone else's experience?

People are going to flock to these, even if they're on top of the a remote mountain
You think people are going to inconvenience themselves by going out of their way to vist a convenience store because it looks vaguely like one that's on a TV show that jumped the shark long ago, and pay a premium for rebadged white-label snack food?
Are you serious?
Sadly, you probably are. Tragically, they probably will.
An upright posture frees the forelimbs from walking duties. Imagine if these had evolved to be tool users then tool makers. They might have developed computers, and an OS with a mostly hairless ape for a mascot.
Am I the only one who detects a distinct odor of hype around this story? Tries to force his way into the building... and then they make a deal with him? Sounds like something from a (bad) movie.

Seems like business is booming.
If they can relocate their operations from Boston to Buffalo they could equally move them to Bangalore.

12. For when 11 just isn't enough.
Coming up later, Massachusets negotiates big discount from Microsoft. film at 11.
There had to be someone. Or perhaps he read the German translation - but even so, you'd expect there to be a footnote explaining it.
A load of turtles had a big argument about which one was going at the bottonm of the pile?
If you were a little closer I'd spring over and give you a hard neap.
When I looked at it, it said he was a talentless Australian midget. Obviously someone vanadalised it just before you read it.
P.S. competant, LOL.

Slashdot - where we can't get a date, but we don't have to play with ourselves either. We get a computer to do it.
