*** begin quote ***

On Tuesday, Microsoft was granted U.S. Patent No.7,571,169 for its ‘invention’ of the Word-processing document stored in a single XML …

*** and ***

the biggest question raised by this patent is: How in the world was it granted in light of the 40-year history of document markup languages?

*** end quote ***

What kind of “barbara streisand” is this?

POLITICAL: Get a camera!

A Great Moment in Our History
by Andrew P. Napolitano

*** begin quote ***

The camera is the new gun. There’s nothing that government dislikes more than the light of day, and cameras recording what the government is doing, whether it’s on a street corner, or in there, or in Washington D.C., we have the right to know everything that they do and why they do it, and when they do it, and how they are taking our freedoms.

*** end quote ***

Obviouly, every patriot has to arm themselves with the new gun. And photo every tyrant. Politician, bureaucrat, and all of their ilk who would restrict our freedom.

Sheeple need to wake up. It may already be too late!

Let’s start rolling back — the TSA, the Patriot Act, the large oppressive gooferment!

Argh!
