Why not pick articles?

What about having a new section on CP where users post which articles they want to see? This would increase accuracy and interest. What do ya think? Vote against software patents in europe
Nice idea... Hmm, maybe you should write it in the suggestions forum... - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

I suppose the code requests forum already accomplishes something like this. Simon I need your clothes, your boots, and your copy of VS.NET. Sonork ID 100.10024 Current Addiction : Colin Mcrae Rally 2.0

Hi Andreas, "Vote against software patents in Europe" I was told recently that software patents in Europe have been accepted. I'd like to see software patents made null and void, or if not, made to be valid for a 2 year timespan, as software advances so much more rapidly than other fields. 25 years? If you think about when the concept of a patent was invented and the speed of technological change, then the 25 year time span must be lowered. Regards Stephen Kellett -- Memory Validator.

Stephen Kellett wrote: I was told recently that software patents in Europe have been accepted. I was at a presentation by the UK Patent Office earlier in the week to raise industry awareness of the issues, and, to try to put in a nutshell, software patents have always been possible in the UK, but they are difficult to get, because the software itself is not enough - there must be an industrial application for the software, and a "technical effect", such as improved computer perfomance. You can't get a patent for a "mental act". This rules out patenting anything like a spreadsheet or an expert system, either of which could theoretically be replaced by pen, paper and brainpower. Apparently the result of Patent Office consultation is that there is no significant support for following the US approach to software and business method patents. Europe's approach is a wee bit closer to the US, and Japan's is, on paper, much more like the US but practically speaking they'll scrutinise your software or business method application to death if they possibly can. There seem to be mixed messages from the multinationals - they don't want other countries to follow the US example, but on the other hand, they're likely to base their R&D programs in the US as a result of the patent madness there. For further information (in the UK, at least) try: http://www.patent.gov.uk/ http://www.intellectual-property.gov.uk/ The second site has a page with links to significant world-wide IP sites.
