    Trying to get first post is a classic sign

  2. Alternative on Blackboard Wins Patent Suit Against Desire2Learn · · Score: 1

    I'm an undergrad Computer Science student. We have two competing systems at my university: one's a simple in-house system that allows all people from the school to view the material for each course in the spirit of free education if they want to. It does the job with minimal hassle. The other is WebCT (now Blackboard) which restricts access to information and education.

    Guess which one's more popular.

  8. other option... on Lawmakers Debate Patent Immunity For Banks · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The US government has consistently demonstrated innovation in this area. I think the ideal course of action would be to bomb the headquarters of the patent troll company. End of bank cheque problem. End of patent troll problem. Zero litigation.

    Yes.

    But it's not the correct place to get an answer.
