03:27 <Skyblayde> I fucked up. I tried to be a Dragon amongst Dragons. I get it, i'm not. All I ask now is permission to idle as is the #suidrewt way and only speak when spoken to, and learn from you all in the mean time.
04:51 <Skyblayde> I will ride on my own credibility in the mean time.
04:51 <Skyblayde> and attempt to build/establish myself with good deeds.

Patent.... on Wed Feb 26 16:46:38 2003 by matt
I would like to know how the Patent office defines a invention. It seems today you can patent anything you want to, i.e. amazon.com has patented using the web to discuss an item for sale. http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=/netahtml/srchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6,525,747.WKU.&OS=PN/6,525,747&RS=PN/6,525,747 ... I see no invention there. It seems you can get away with a patent on anything you want, no matter how vague it is. Why don't we patent 'using a mouse pointer to control a computer' or something similar :).

You are so fucking sued. I patented the act of using sarcasm in a sentence, see your ass in court. Bitch. Oh yea and by the way, I also patented using URLs on webpages, so go to hell and die. <3 :D
