It appears that the patent office has granted Microsoft a patent on sudo. For those that don’t know sudo is a piece of software that allows a user to execute a command with the rights and privileges of another user. It has been around for at least as long as I have been using computers and Microsoft was just granted a patent on it. WTF?

Check it out over at Ubuntu Linux Tips & Tricks.

What the hell is going on at the patent office?

UPDATE: Behold the patent

A brief bit of levity…

Disneyland in China? No, not Walt Disney, instead a complete knockoff including Mickey, Minnie, & the rest of the gang. Apparently not owned by Disney. Talk about real intellectual property theft.
