Idiotic stuff about the Patent Reform Act
And honestly, if some jackass patents the french fry, and sues McDonald's... That's just abuse of the patent system. That lawsuit does nobody (besides the lawyers) any good. When I deliberately don't enforce (or publicize) a patent so that people can get good and dependent on it before suing... how does that do the economy as a whole any good? Transparency is good for the economy. Grrmph.

Wow.
