Doesn' t look much does it? See the tecnology behind it though and then follow the " slants" link at the bottom. Incredible.

Sledgehammer / Walnut at the moment, but I guess it could be put to use for more automated ways of generating graphics.

Either that, or the next " rounded corner tables" craze is going to be " slanted corner divs" ! :)

Can I patent that idea?

You should have been BT' s legal adviser when they tried to claim they owned hyperlinks. Might have cut my bills somewhat. :)

LOL - that case was ludicrous and utterly indefensible. It also cost BT (that I know of) three very very very big contracts that were being paid for both by Danida (that' s our foreign aid body) and the Nordic Council of Ministers. Moreover they were officially informed that from now every time they bid in any Scandinavian country that they would have to satisfy very stringent ethics criteria and extremely intrusive oversight (because of some of the other monkey business they were trying at the time.)

I' ve sometimes wondered what happened to the lawyer who told them they had a viable case. The whole thing was a manifestly absurd attempt to shill some undeserved money. Teledanmark, Deutschetelecom, and the Telecom Eireann, were the only beneficiaries of that pathetically inept saga.

I think these days you can find a lawyer to take almost any case...

True bobby, I was editing as you were posting. So see changes above. I don' t know about the States, and indeed the basis of law here is very different, but the courts here are getting very hostile to that sort of thing and showing it. HERE, an indefensible case can wind up costing the person/body who brings it a HUGE amount of money because they now have to pay:

1 - their lawyers fees.
2 - the other side' s lawyers fees.
3 - a often very stiff penalty for wasting court time.

Moreover the lawyer who advised it can be referred by the court to a competence committee and can be guaranteed to have some sleepness nights hoping that they' ll swallow what ever excuse he cares to cough up for losing his client such a pack of money.

Good thing.

Oh, how I wish the US courts would take a stance like that!! Instead, we allow the stupidest cases to make it to court. Examples:

1) Person gets hot coffee at a drive through and burns themself. It' s the restaurant' s fault for making the coffee too hot.

2) Person gets fat after eating out all the time. Again, it' s the restaurant' s fault for serving fast food.

Personally, just once I' d like to see a headline that says, " Restaurant countersues; Claims plaintiff has the IQ of a slug"

Check out the True Stella Awards, an e-mail newsletter from the same guy who does the This is True one. In it he documents some of America' s more ludicrous court cases. Scary, but getting worse over here.

What' s even more frightening is that many of those cases are jury trials... which means that citizens much like ourselves are responsible for some those decisions.

Sounds crazy when one just reads what the press tells us. Read here to learn more about the now infamous coffee case:

http://www.lectlaw.com/files/cur78.htm

I agree that frivolous lawsuits abound both here and abroad, but when one hears all the facts, it' s often a little easier to understand why a jury did what it did.

Guess we stopped talking about CSS. Sorry.
