Parent article: A big setback on software patents

I am European and I loved to sneer in a smug way when software patents still appeared nicely impossible here. Thus that line raised some kind of bitter amusement and a laugh. I think it is quite apparent that the generalization is not meant seriously and an artificact of humor I enjoy.

Well, I would appreciate it, if I could go on with my smug ways, get smug replies from others. As long as I don't have to bother about software patents. Smugness hooray!

If software patents get rejected in the EU in a distant future, I will look forward to making smug remarks about how utterly stupid the US is (after a large celebration). And that it shows in them adopting software patents. I will act as it was never considered in the EU. And surprise, I will not be utterly serious about the generalization. Huh! Try to stop me!
