Acacia Round Two: New Patent
 

These guys haven't learned their lesson yet.

Acacia has.... "acquired a patent that they say covers the use of technology that redirects a login attempt by an unauthenticated user to a login gateway page. They want a minimum of $1,000 per quarter in royalties"

What's next?

This bs all over again

... no big deal, they are talking about the webpage that comes up when you login to some wirelesss network, so what's the deal ??

... unless that wireless network in insecure and you can just surf away, but then there is not redirection of a login attempt.

Fucking vampires :321GFY

this is just getting fucking ridiculous.

lol.....here's a big fuck you from...well..anyone who does web dev...assholes, just like those cocks who tried to patent the horizontal nav bar.

Interesting statement.....

"According to one aspect of the invention, the method can include the step of establishing a login page to the gateway device prior to redirecting the user to the login page. The method can also include accepting user information at the login page which is thereafter utilized by the gateway device to authorize the user access to the destination network. The user profile database can be updated with the user information. "

What is it going to take? A silver bullet?
