> Tim
>    O'Reilly and Patent Office Director Q. Todd Dickinson. Among the
>    highlights is Tim's call for a Slashdot-like forum to serve as a
> means
>    of identifying prior art." A bare-knuckled debate, not as in-depth as
>    I'd have liked, but it's good to know Diskinson's perspective.
> Someone

>    instruction techniques some of which go back to the 1960s.
