I wander if can write another useful line of code...
... without risking being sued ten years from now by some smart@ss claiming that he already patented the underlaying algorithm. That is if this line of code proves to be really useful and something good comes out of it. The whole IT patent machinery is fundamentally falwed if you ask me. There are plenty of ways arould IT patent restrictions if you know what you're doing. These patents are only good for jumping up from behind a corner with another "got ya!" once someone is unlucky enough to step into one. What a brave new corporate world...
