Thanks to the guys at the linux forum(note: I wouldn’t consider visiting linuxforums.org without adblock and noscript), I bring you the latest dipshit patent maneuver by Microft: Microsoft patents sudo.
I won’t bother regurgitating any of the links to prior art. You can find hundreds of them over at the Groklaw site. I just wanted to post for the people who don’t understand why it’s becoming increasingly hard to take Microsoft seriously as a software “developer”.
They came into existence riding on the coattails of other people’s work. Over the years, you would have thought they could have hired enough competent developers to come up with something of their own to stand on. It seems though that they are still trying their damnedest to keep and gain users by simply absorbing intellectual property they can buy and shutting down those they can’t through lawsuits.
I guess we’re supposed to be surprised.

I keep saying that if anything good is going to come out of all this “War on Terror” stuff, then we need to get Osama bin Liner to nuke Redmond. Sure, it’ll be a tragedy, but the result will be worth it in the long run. On the path to a better future, there sometimes have to be sacrifices.
