See, this right here is an example of something that makes you wonder
wtf is wrong with people. Here Cisco claims a patent application on
some various fixes they made to their TCP stack to prevent RST attacks.

That's just silly. These days, every design decision you make when
writing software can be patented. It's rediculous. When people in our
industry get software patents, they should be shunned. Why are people
still buying from Sanctum, if indeed, anyone is, since Webinspect is a
thousand times better and not run by complete losers who get software
patents (I think).

Tomarrow I think I'll apply for a patent to protect Microsoft software
from Verde.
