Tech Roundup
Interesting shit in the tech world recently:
Another dumbass patent worker approved a patent for webframes and a company named SBC Communications filed suit against some little website for USING FRAMES and therefore is in violation of its patents. Yeah. How freakin dumb.
From the “DCMA-is-a-perfect-example-of-why-congress-can’t-vote-for-constituents” department, a federal judge ordered Verizon to turn over info on a user to the RIAA. Verizon is appealing. It just shows how shitty the DCMA is and how it violates your rights.
And in happy news, Microsoft has been ordered to put Java in Windows. Damn right.

That's odd... My girlfriend uses SBC DSL in South Bend, IN... I just installed it for her. Now I feel guilty. Not guilty like when you took another cookie though mom said not to, so much as guilty like when you touch yourself...
