I've been doing this for ages; but, apparently, I'm now violating a M$ patent.

Quote:

U.S. Patent No. 6,748,582, granted and assigned Tuesday to Microsoft, covers the use of a "task list" in a software development environment.

The patented technology essentially integrates certain comments left in the source code of an application under development with an accompanying checklist. Leave a "TODO" comment in the source code, and an authoring application automatically creates an item in the task list. Check an item off on the task list, and the corresponding source code comment is changed.

just make sure when you do it, you call it a todo list

but anyway, i think blue sun is the essence of microsoft, coca cola, wal-mart, ect...
i think its a company that had followed the linear path that corporations are following today, that of consolidating power and markets.

So in other words its the epitimy of the capitalistic goal, to end all competition through ownership/consolidation, wether it be soda products, medication or plant gene's.

my thoughts anyway, i like to think of it as Whedens little warning to us all.
