Where's Dogbert when you need him???

I think I should patent the binary number system. And written language, and the distinctive use of sounds to encode meaning. And the drinking of water. Sex! The right to die. The right to live. The names El Reg, BOFH....

Pay me now!

OK.

What I'd really like to see is a viable patent holder, who's been massively violated by M$ in a core technology, win a ``cease and desist'' order. Kind of like M$ NT's blatent ripoff of BSD's ipv4 stack.

``Good bye M$. And go f#$ck! yourself on the way down.''

It could happen. It should have happened. It likely will happen.

FUD back at you, M$, creeps.
