The whole patent system is a joke. If they don't fix it soon, the usa is seriously in for a wide awakening... It's the new Digital Media Rights fuckup... Patents and DMR need to go out the fucking window... *http://tinyurl.com/2jy84v * Google has received a patent<http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=7,278,273.PN.&OS=PN/7,278,273&RS=PN/7,278,273>from the USPTO for the concept of a "mobile datacenter" stored in a standard shipping container and equipped with multiple racks of high-powered servers with its own internal cooling system. I mean come on!!! WTF this is stupid... you are now saying that if I hook up a generator in my own shipping container with a cooling system, google can ask for some cash... This is seriously stupid! It's getting way outta control. We need some goverment reform on this quicly and no one is paying attention. <http://Saratoga.com> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Enterprise web applications, build robust, secure scalable apps today - Try it now ColdFusion Today ColdFusion 8 beta - Build next generation apps Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:244846 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
