Perhaps someone should file a patent for assigning values to a variable!



You think someone hasn't done this already?


If someone had done it, that someone would be pretty damn rich right now!


It would be fun to include it, and license it as free to use for anyone who gave a dollar to Unicef or something.

And then, the next time this shit happens, the patent defenders would all go “How would these children get their basic needs met if it weren't for patents? Why do you hate children?”

It would be glorious.
