This is the suit against Electronic Arts. It's the same document except for the names!
Even Wikipedia has them listed as a patent troll near the bottom of the page.

They have sued 73 companies over the years and do nothing whatsoever but sue people.
"I'm in the wrong line of work...Who would have thought you could make a job of suing people for a living.."

I listen to them both really too much, most of my playlists have five or more songs on them from both bands. With a good dose of Daft Punk thrown in for fun.

That's what I did when my server had a major derp (hard drive had epic fail) and forced me to re-install EVERYTHING the other night.... Its a good thing I had a spare hard drive otherwise my server would be dead. Two hours later I found that my Linux distro had a major problem with Java of any flavor.. So a two hour re-install took all night instead...

I know that one of your mods is included in the Tekkit pack (not sure which one) I really want to use the force field system on my server (I've had some of my players asking for it)
Thanks

Your welcome.
I reported it after I checked it out. And it was yours with nothing changed but your name taken off of it.
I'm a writer (I won't say of what) and I view someone trying to claim that they made something as their's the same way I would if someone tried to claim my works on the net.
They're a thief and that's all they ever will be in my book.

Well I'm actually running a Tekkit server. (Might as well be a Bukkit server) I have to get my ports from over at MCportcentral being they do all of the ports. And my plugins I get over at Bukkit.org... So it might as well be a Bukkit/Tekkit server...lol
And the thing is that dynamic elevators mod is the only elevator mod or plugin that I've found that really works and does what it's supposed to. I have frame elevators right now that one of the players made for our server but they take up space and don't work very well when your deep in a mine shaft...

That's not a small derp, that's a big DERP! lol
No pressure, I'll wait for it to be fixed...
But then again it would be funny to watch some of the players on my private server to fall down the elevator shaft!! Especially with how high strung some of them are, I can just hear the screams of surprise and shock on vent! LOL
Naw, but really I've been waiting on this mod since everything had to be updated to 1.2.5 (that was probably a painful enough!) Then there is converting it over to Forge from modloadermp. Then the bug squashing before releasing it to the public. But for some of us we have to wait for it to be ported over to bukkit before we can use it.
So yeah, I'll sit back and wait until it's fully baked and wait for it to be released.
Thanks for the update!

Heck Microsoft is currently envolved in a lawsuit against Google over Android, and has a rep for going after anyone infringing on their (ip rights) weather true or otherwise. And the funny thing is that Apple is on Microsoft's side in the lawsuit.
See a few years back when Halo developer Bungie was a Microsoft studio.
Microsoft wanted Bungie to do things the Microsoft way, Bungie told Microsoft where to go and went on to other things. Bungie wasn't going to cave in to MS demands and ended their partnership, personally "way to go Bungie!"
Microsoft has a known rep for pushing their corporate weight around against small studios like Mojang when they (MS) gets them into a contract. (This is a proven fact look at how many times they (MS) has sued people over the smallest of things to get control.
Which makes me wonder just exactly how much of the new updates (snapshots) are Mojang and not MS pushing their weight around.
Don't take me wrong I use MS products everyday (windows 7 and Office 2010) mostly, but I'm really leery of MS having any say so in minecraft development being their past history. Unless it's for the xbox 360 (which I don't own).
Which also brings to mind another question.
How much of the current development of the unified SP/SMP is Mojang's doing and not MS for their console?
Or is it just Mojang wanting to get a major cash infusion from MS for the port to xbox?
Truly a unified SP/SMP client is the way to go but I'm concerned that it will take away from people like me that want to be able to control the mods our private servers run.
Ok, let the flames begin!
