:321GFY Microsoft.

i patent the voice, light and speed.

That can't last. Some patent atterny has got to challenege that.

Microsoft said last year that it would be seeking to improve earnings from technology which it claims it invented and would be using its patent portfolio to do so.

Last year, the company said it would be charging for use of the FAT filesystem.

The New York-based Public Patent Foundation has filed a formal request with the US Patent and Trademark Office, asking that Microsoft's patent on this filesystem be revoked.

microsoft = accacia

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

same mentallity

all you fuckers better start paying me back payments you owe me on gravity. im serious


:mad:

What is so unbelievable, they did at least invent the shit unlike Acacia.

I think they just did it so that someone else couldn't..

fuck thats gay

I wonder if I can get a patent on sex...or has someone else got that one?

Damn, at first I thought "this must be a spoof". But I checked, and it's real. Jeeeeez!

Who'll patent the single-click, or triple-click, or the "CTRL-ALT-LIFTYOURLEFTLEG" click?

Has anyone patented clicking while jerking off?

Was the double click around before Windows?

Wasn't the mac or that other geo thing out before windows?

i have no money, but can i use my tongue? :winkwink: :winkwink:

how does one make money on that patent ?

Good business! MS didn't get that huge by worrying about what a few geeks think.

There goes my profits

coz i already had the patent on single clicking

incredible

Bravo A&H. Someone else gets it. :thumbsup

DoubleClick Inc how about this company also the domian doubleclick.com does this mean they need to pull out the check book?

maybe we can work something out...
ill give you 50$ credit for each hour of footrubs that i recive

:Graucho

just 50? i bet i could get you to scream 100 :glugglug

I have patent pending on the vagina :Graucho

microsoft is not wrong, come on if you code something that has never been done before you have the rights too it. i'm sure apple cause patent the single click if they wanted or maybe the mouse. nothing wrong with letting people knwo you invented something. the person who created the first TGP should of patented it.

i would patent the right click before the double click :)

I will be patenting the triple click , its going to be HUGE ;)

I have just turned in 7 patents for sexual positions I have created. If I see any of them used in a video or pictures, I will own you.

I think Microsoft will sue you for that :1orglaugh

patent the money shot followed by the dick that was just in your ass suck swallow move
