It was bound to happen.

1. Pattent something that is likely to be developed and popular (producing said product is optional).
2. Wait for someone else to develop a similar solution (software phone to real phone over the internet)
3. Sue them
4. Profit!.

Perhaps /. needs to implement a "DUPE" link that's accessible to subscribers. Have it function like Digg, totaling the number of DUPE clicks each article receives.

Then, allow subscribers to set a DUPE filter limit. Anything over that limit is not displayed on the page.

(Also, I've always wanted to use this in a post.)

3. ?
4. PROFIT!!

...there must be a Wikipedia entry on that meme ("4. Profit!" or something...)

Well, actually...

There is a lot of interesting stuff on /. subculture, which sadly I've been a witness to.
