According to the article, somebody maanged to patent the selling of
www.something.somethng.com.  Which seems a bit assanine to me, since the
ISP I worked for in 1993 offered custoemrs www.customer.ccnet.com.

As much as I dislike Verisign, this is silly.

I think I'll file a patent on organic O2/CO2 exchangers, and then sue
everyone who breathes....

Break out the prior art....
