| rindolf | I just had a brilliant idea: a distributed, NoSQL, WebScale, /dev/null replacement. I think I should patent it. |
| cfedde | rindolf: awesome! |
| cfedde | as long as we have a webscale bit bucket we should be fine. |
| rindolf | cfedde: would you like to invest in that? |
| spiderweb | software patents suck |
| cfedde | rindolf: sure. Send me your bank account number and I'll make a deposit! |
| alpha- | rindolf that's like a 50 trillion dollar invention |
| alpha- | where do I invest |
| rindolf | cfedde: OK, I'll send it through that /dev/null thing. |
| cfedde | rindolf: perfect. |
| stan\0 | would be fun if it escaped the lab and started /dev/null'ing the interwebs like a black hole |
| DrForr | I'd call that a public service. |
| spiderweb | - in a new way |
| rindolf | <stan\0> would be fun if it escaped the lab and started /dev/null'ing the interwebs like a black hole ==> don't worry, I'm also going to patent how to properly secure it against abuse, so it will only null what you send to it. Not anything external and unsolicited. |
| rindolf | stan\0: but doing that will require paying me extra. |
| rindolf | stan\0: because I figure out not every one will need this feature. |
