What do they do now? It's like patenting a certain type of kick in soccer, or something.
    *patents the bicycle kick and corner kick*

    yes, now I get money from each football game. YES, FOOTBALL!

    unless no one does a bicycle kick or takes a corner.

    As I posted in my LJ:

    Whatever respect I had for that company has now gone completely out the window. Wasn't double-clicking employed by Apple before it was used in Windows, and in the Xerox operating system everyone ripped off before Apple used it? The Patent Office is just as ridiculous as Microsoft for letting something like this go through.

    What a terrible idea. The Onion weren't too far off the mark when they made that "Microsoft Patents Ones, Zeroes" article.

    I'm going to patent sitting on my can and eating pizza rolls all day while waiting for the phone to ring for a job. If Microsoft cna patent Binary and double clicking then I can patent that.
