To quote: (4th paragraph) "He claims that websites which use images to link to pages that contain an organisation's contact information have breached his patent" (ok, "link to pages that contain an organisation's contact information"??? dunno about that, but the idea of image hyperlinks is still there...) An easy way to spot the correct edition of the paper would be to notice the front page which has a cover of the defamation suit hearing against the SDP/Dr Chee/his sister where the MM and PM actually take to the stand. This is probably a better account of the story than the alternative one that you see in the Sg_Review yahoogroup (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Sg_Review/)... But not to digress. Anyway, the words in bold on the front page, all caps: "You are a political juvenile". 28 May 2008 edition -jf -- In the meantime, here is your PSA: "It's so hard to write a graphics driver that open-sourcing it would not help." -- Andrew Fear, Software Product Manager, NVIDIA Corporation http://kerneltrap.org/node/7228
