Re: Haha, Patent on Page Up and Page Down
I read it, but I still didn't get it. Could you sum it up a bit?

Re: Haha, Patent on Page Up and Page Down
That's stupid. I think I will patent the button A, so everytime some lets the user type A, they musy pay me.
Seriously, this is one of the dumbest things MS has ever done.

Microsoft wants rights to the buttons PGUP and PGDN Saying they invented it.. Mainly meaning they are trying to make more money..

No need to be like that, especially when he is right. MS is well known for copying everyone elses ideas, as goes for the GUI and multi-task system.

It mean they are the only one who are allowed to use/produce those buttoms xD
It's somewhat the same as having the Copyright for those buttoms.

Well, seen Bill Gates is not the most rich person anymore he wants his title back..

Re: Haha, Patent on Page Up and Page Down
Bill Gates already rules the world, what else does he want?
-
Re: Haha, Patent on Page Up and Page Down
Maybe if we all just scratched one letter from all of the worded keys on our keyboard, Bill Gates wouldn't be able to control everyones' lives, and we would all have funny words on our keyboards :-D.

Re: Haha, Patent on Page Up and Page Down
Pfft, I'll rename my keys then.
Ctrl = Sex
Alt = Orgy
Del = Anal
Shift = UpUp
Caps Lock = HOLD
Tab = Next!
Esc = Ouch
Print Screen/SysRq = Snap It
Scroll Lock = Lock it
Pause = Stop it
Inster = Harder
Delete = Softer
Home = Enough
End = No More
Page Up = Inner Please
Page Down = Outer Please
Num Lock = Unce
:D

Re: Haha, Patent on Page Up and Page Down
I think Microsoft has finally lost their minds.
Nice job naming them though.

Re: Haha, Patent on Page Up and Page Down
Big Deal, Microsoft is Rich Enough since they use to have Bill Gates. They've invented enough but those 2 buttons are kinda pointless since we dont really use it
