“Our own Taylor Buley links to the suit here,” Hardy writes. “Lots of lawyerbabble, but do look at at least this patent that the lawyers for Interval Research Corp., Allen’s company, cite as critical in the development of these firms.”
“What a crock,” Hardy writes. “I can understand it, and I’ve got degrees in English and Geography. This patent is a basic outline of steps concerning how things will be fetched on the Web.

People who build solar houses are such thieves.”
