Boy, those guys must be really dumb to waste their time filing billion dollar lawsuits, protecting 20-year old technology, when it's so obvious that you and other people clearly invented it before them, and all the money they waste on lawyers can never achieve anything. They should all fire themselves. And anybody who defends against it can safely hire a law student for $20/hr to represent them, and just pull out your documents as defense, because that's so easy. Plus, as you said, the technology is so old, it should be worthless by now. Why are we all wasting our time in this list talking about irrelevant old technology, anyway? _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
