WTF this is nuts, patent registered in 2002 :matey:

[Nickatilynx]

Brian Shuster from XPics owns the patent on exit consoles!!!!



He's back!!!!! LOL

[MikeFold]

...oh, nevermind....

[Winetalk.com]

for the record:
I never used exit consoles,
have no idea what they are for,
and will never use them in the future...

anybody can tell me who invented BLUR consoles?
;-)))

[Nickatilynx]

Blur consoles?

I know who did cause I saw it,liked it,and then stole it.

It was as easy as abc ;))))

Where's Robin Nixon when you need him?

Will things like this, Acacia and SBC cause a change in the way the USPTO determines a valid patent?

[RawAlex]

haha... this is proof that the patent office is STUPID.

onexit and window.open are browser functions. The people who created THOSE functions for the browsers are the ones that should have a patent on the actual mechanicals of the process... that being said, the patent can only be on a very specific traffiic management scheme...

Even then, it isn't new.

Who used the exit consoles first?

Blurs, well, I know blurs - and they are the same thing, ya know? window.open, and self.blur() - both browser functions.

I think things like this will have more of an effect on which island nation people choose to locate their businesses in.

Why does the phrase "leeches on society" keep popping in to my head?

this gets better...
My attorney has a saying (like many others do)
"Throw enough shit at the wall and something might stick"

Didn't McDonald's invent the exit console?

"Would you like fries with that?"

Yep, they invented the rehash too... 'would you like to supersize that today?'

This is who the real threat to this country is .... trial lawyers!
