they might even have patents in austria. honestly, i don't care.
sometime somebody will have an algorithm for computig a+b patented.
and another one for the special case a>=1. i have the impression that
with today's flood of patents any reasonable programmer will violate a
couple of patents, without even knowing them!
ah, yes, did i already mention that i'm against software patents?
is frauenhofer already harassing mark taylor?
best regards,
