OMG! So all these years having this AltGr key here in my keyboard, being used to convert a standard FI key layout into an international variant of UK and now it turns out it is covered by a patent... How come no one out there (in the right position) has already figured out that the patent system is fundamentally broken?

OLPC sued for patent infringement in Nigeria Posted Dec 2, 2007 15:20 UTC (Sun) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] A design patent. An *expired* design patent. (If it were a normal patent, well, the ZX80 had multiple shift-like keys producing four (or was it six?) different symbols per key, back in 1980...)
