Theo's childish, condescending and pointless choice of language seems to undermine his credibility. Although he may be an authority on the subject, I think he owes it to himself - as well as the rest of the community he helped to create - to communicate in a more professional, civilized and respectful manner.
He's in the same bucket as Dvorak - who wants to listen to the little twerp?
According to the patent text, the filing date was March 2004. Wikipedia (and many other sites) have certainly been using this method for years prior to that.
Setting aside the blackout rules for a moment, you've got to admit that Slingbox is clear competition to MLB.tv and, therefore, it is completely reasonable to conclude that this could be MLB's motivation for going after Slingbox.
The blackout rules are, consequently, an afterthought.
hardly a surprise MLB is going after Slingbox, since it competes directly with their own service which circumvents the exact same "geographical boundaries written in to broadcast deals".
I really hate the "more important things going on in the world..." argument, but damn man... this is total nonsense.

From the summary:
and only charges for real estate listings by professional brokers...
That's incorrect. craigslist charges for real estate postings in the New York City area only. Additionally, they charge below-market rates for job postings in 3 markets (SF, LA and NY I believe).
They are a profitable business. They have, however, chosen to throttle how much profit they suck from the thing.

...or looking for an intriguing read on a Friday morning, this young lady Elena describes her motorcycle ride to and through the so called Chernobyl "dead zone", with pictures. Interesting read.
Your own sig says it all.

Disgraceful comment.
You're no better than Jack Thompson.
