50 subdomains

There is no such thing as a default subdomain. "www" has to be put into the DNS and webserver config as a sub-domain. If it wasn't put in, then only the domain name can be pulled up and you wouldn't be able to reach the site via www.domainname.com.

I setup wicked-angel.com as a example.
With "www": http://www.wicked-angel.com
Without: http://wicked-angel.com

Complete and utter nonsense.

No, you can setup a website to just be http://domain.com

WWW part is what people have been trained to type in.

I have read where some people thought typing www. was redundant and therefore didn't put in DNS entries to map WWW. to their IP when a surfer typed it in.

You need to put in a DNS entry to map WWW.domain.com to the correct IP. Same true if you were doing mail.domain.com, etc


What remains to be heard are the patent infringement claims.

Those that received the letters need to have an attorney get that information, since their first letter was to just respond within 20 days of receiving notice.


Fight the Or Else!

Most likely none of us =)

as far as i understood the patent is targeting companies that offer automated subdomain hosting with wildcards...Sent to legal to get a more indepth understanding just in case.

Your funny lol , now you're a Larry who I would shake hands with (even though you have only posted 14 times here ) and Larry Hagman too for that matter lol.

Larry Walters has been banging his head against the wall for so many years, warning webmasters about 2257 issues, government prosecution, etc.. more so than the 14 posts his stats show.

:thumbsup



Fight the Headache!

That would be Noah he is one of the partners of Directnic... if you wanna get ahold of him icq me and I'll put you in touch...

Has Pimpdog settled yet?

i just received my patent on "banging rich daddies little girls".....i've always been good at that.....i love the taste of rich pussy

Ok where is alexander bell and his patents i am sure someone new will have hand out soon.

Pardon my ignorance, but wouldn't the Wayback Machine (archive.org) be effective for this? For example: archive.org has archives of chat.yahoo.com dating back to December 1997. Wouldn't this essentially be a prime example of prior art? Or no?

I'm gonna patent directories:1orglaugh

suing adult webmasters first in order to set legal precedent. wonder if anybody's got a patent on that?

I second that emotion. See my Easter thread for directions.

www is a sub domain, so does everyone have to pay? this is stupid.

I think I'm missing something here.

These bogus cocksuckers can lick the dog shit off my shoes before they get one damn cent out of my wallet.

What a joke of a patent.

somehow i don't think it will be long before he runs into a very thick brick wall.

hehe

subdomains are no-nos

anyone who makes a stupid patent like that should be shot, and any judge who allows it should be thrown out

:1orglaugh

Is there a law against abusing the patent system?

If not, then they need to make one.

People like this need to be forced to pay huge fines.

I'm going to patent the 'scroll' so if you've been scrolling on any website please let me know. They are infringing on my poptential patent! :winkwink:

Agreed

I'm gonna patent everyone!

oh man I owe you big then, what's your paypal :1orglaugh

D'uh, I guess that makes sense.

C-mon Brian...

You can do better than this...

Stop messing around with shit that wont work man...
You do not have the pockets Accacia does and when people decide to fight you are gonna loose.

This one is worth fighting you know that and you should know that ya wont get this one.

Your a smart man you can think of somthing better then this over a fucken breakfast.

What a joke of a patent office. :(

More and more certified letters are being sent.

Absolutely right, 90% of sub.domains tgp added in trade script are cheaters :2 cents:

Hmm. If you read through the "claims" there is no mention of this patent applying exclusively to websites or http, just domains/wildcards/storing and serving content.

Doesn't this apply to FTP sites as well? If that's the case, you can probably find prior examples of this sort of thing going back decades...

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Come on dude don't be making me shit in my shorts.
I'm going to bill you for the clorox.

You need to take the "s" out of "decades". Domain names have only been around for about a decade. Of course I could be wrong.

my patent to post on message boards is almost finished.

They were in use when I started at university - that was in 1991.

Shouldn't be too hard, I found my personal web page (which is on a subdomain) on web.archive.org. Unfortunately it was first indexed in December 1998. I am sure there are plenty of other sites that existed before then which can be verified with the wayback archive.

edit: here you go.

You used to be able to get a free ANYNAME.ml.org subdomain.

I don't really understand how things like popups and subdomains can be patented by people so many years after they have been created, by someone who had nothing to do with their idea or creation.

Is there no one in the patent office who is at all up to date with technology? How can they approve patents on things they do not fully understand, shouldn't there be someone to at least search for prior art as far as technology is concerned? It's not like the internet was a new thing in 1999.

The patent office is ran by a bunch of fucking monkeys just like this country.

Mark

Fuck Brian Shuster

Let me guess! It's Bush's fault!

No it is your fault for voting for Bush, lol

This is still only the beginning of what is to come from what I know. Acacia (and those who have settled with them) have done nothing except open up the floodgates for more and more opportunistic vultures to pick at our industry.



What is it going to take to make some of you realize that settling isn't the correct option? What?


Fucking bankruptcy? What?

A domain by definition is a subdomain.

domain.com

domain is a subdomain of the .com TLD.

How can you invent something that was already invented?

It'll never fly.

Someone needs to give the US Patent system a major enema.

KC you damned anti-dentite! How you been?

I agree completely. How is this different than paing "protection money" to gangsters?

Doing well man.. You going to AZ for the forum?

let's catch up on ICQ.

The internet needs a mafia for this kind of stuff. Sometimes legalese goes too far.
