Get hundreds of people to patent everything in sight and keep attacking the big patent monopolies until they see things differently :-) Right now the big guys have the advantage but several thousand bees can drive off large animals so I think we could do the same. Thousands and thousands of lawsuits could cripple even the biggest company, expecially if you can get products delayed while the suit is dragged out. Not only that but you might hit the jackpot and win the suit... -- Disclaimer: Opinions are based on logic rather than biblical "fact". ------ This is a mutated signature virus, if you don't put it in your .sig \ / file you may lose your job, your dog may be run over, and you may die. \ / If you repent and add the .sig you may win the lottery and get laid. \/
