> If technologists can't come up with a delineating line between valid and invalid software patents, how do you propose a judge to do so

I didn't say a judge should do it. I said the Congress should do it. And what Congress should do is a political question, not a legal one, which is why our opinion is as valid as yours.

As for 'just answer my question': I think you mainly want engineers to say something concrete so you can critique it. So how about if you tell us: what are some examples of good software patents?

Is there something wrong with you? I'm clearly valuing your opinion... this will be like the 7th time I've asked you for it, yet you refuse to give it and now insist that I'm being some sort of gatekeeper for patent opinions... this is bizarre. Hoping its because english isn't your first language.

Lol dude why are you being this obtuse? It's not a trick. It's just that hard to come up with a workable line here. It really has nothing to do with my opinion on enfish. Engineers are here saying it should be easy to filter out the bad patents... okay, if so, tell us how...

I'm here waiting.

Since you are now reduced to hurling personal insults, we're done. Dude.

I said up at the top, "Congress must legislate that software is not patentable subject matter." So apparently you're the one who can't understand English.

Buh bye, dude.
