 | View Full Version : Quick! Shutdown your website DarktidesNET 01-22-2003, 09:55 AM I doubt it's going to go anywhere. Reptilian Feline 01-22-2003, 09:57 AM Oh, my... I guess we all have to remove our menus then... And put something to control what is shown in the statusfield... and disable the popup text when placing a mouse over a link... and... BisonSt 01-22-2003, 10:24 AM Why don't we ask Al Gore to straighten this out? Didn't he invent the internet? DarktidesNET 01-22-2003, 10:28 AM Originally posted by fatboy Why don't we ask Al Gore to straighten this out? Didn't he invent the internet? As far as I know he did. Well, atleast for the public ... I think the internet was made in 1983 and used for government stuff or something. I think I read that somewhere.

Gordo 01-22-2003, 10:32 AM Gore's patent application didn't count. Something about a hanging chad. BisonSt 01-22-2003, 10:32 AM Now that was funny... skylab 01-22-2003, 02:56 PM http://commons.somewhere.com/rre/2000/RRE.Al.Gore.and.the.Inte1.html KIA-Joe 01-22-2003, 03:03 PM If that did somehow go through... that would TOTALLY suck! theqase 01-22-2003, 04:17 PM The last major patent attack on the web was by BT, which claimed a year ago that it held the intellectual rights to hyperlinks and was thus due substantial licence fees. That went to court but was swiftly thrown out, in part because it pre-dated the web and thus talked of 'pressing selected keys on a keyboard' to activate links, whereas users these days use mice. i have seen sites that do that... i wonder if the owner of the patents could sue them for that... but the nav thing... is that keeping navigational links on a page.. .or simply framing the nav? EDIT/// and its kinda funny.. the site that reports us this news is using a nav... haha fstudios 01-22-2003, 04:52 PM everyone still 'trying" to get rich off the net anyway they can... :eek: adam 01-22-2003, 05:33 PM hrm, I wish I could patent LOL and charge people 10k every time they used it... WPT Kyle 01-22-2003, 06:40 PM Fatboy, I really don't think he thought you were joking :D BisonSt 01-22-2003, 10:47 PM Well, I wondered why no one laughed. ;) JWise 01-22-2003, 11:02 PM That'll be the day a company will come through and say you cannot use Navigation unless we get 5% of your site income and actually win csparks 01-22-2003, 11:13 PM WOW! and i thought i hated SBC because of the phone service. But this, this is going WAY to FAR! JWise 01-22-2003, 11:17 PM This won't happen... If somehow it does, this will effect government sites, and you know the government isn't paying anyone.. But it won't.. Its just one of those cases that will get TURNED DOWN! madj 01-22-2003, 11:56 PM And to think, they're my ISP. That's so absurd. I'm glad I don't use links in frames on my websites. It's like the case with Unisys and their patent on the compression technology to create GIF and TIFF image file formats. :rolleyes: |
