   Oh yeah.
   Well I own the patent on file transfer. Everyone who has ever turned on a computer and moved a file from one computer to another is in violation. I plan on suing the world! Wooo hahahaha.

   Isn't the idea of using a one-way hash to identity fall under the catagory of "obvious"?
   
   I thought patents had to be non-obvious, unique inventions.
   
   Whoever gave them that patent needs to be lined up against the wall and shot.

   Well yes, but then they couldn't approve as many patents if they did it that way. I think the rational with the current regime is approve as much as possible, and let the courts sort it out. Unfortunately, the courts don't really care either. At some point, this is going to get real sticky if people don't start doing their jobs.
