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. |
