[Patents] Man Patents the Wheel

Pilch:

This is the winning analysis.  The key is that the computer is a
universal logic device.  Your analysis is exactly where all of the
dubious IP legislative practices of late bottom out -- and politically,
this is the winning line:  We already have universal logic devices on
our desktops.  Don't let them turn our logic tools into consumer
appliances.  Don't let them regulate the ability to select, combine,
manipulate, analyze, and synthesize information in the spheres of
logical processing and social communication.
