I just thought that if the person who created .com would be so rich, just think if he had copyrighted it everytime we got on a website,sent an email, he would make moneys...
just something to think about
Full Version: Richest man
in truth, the military invented the internet. But if want to talk about rich and internet. Speak IP addresses, my summer network teacher told us a story of a guy who owned a B class address (is it called b class?) ***.***.000.000 anywho, he sold parts of it for millions since their is limited addresses but their making a new IP thing in hex me thinks
Likewise, if I went back in time and copyrighted the word 'and'....
^No you should go back in time and kill Bill gates, steal his brain and become him, then you would be rich. LOL!
Does that Gwen Stefani song come to mind?
If I was a rich girl (na na na na na na na na na na na na )
See, I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
Cause I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
Anyways, doesn't Al Gore own the internet?

I think it would have been cool to invent and pattent the wheel. Think about how many things use it.
what about patenting fire?
I'd settle with patenting the term "patent". Think about it. Any time someone comes up with something new, I get a cut in that. Awesome
I would patent oxygen.

QUOTE(Some Website)
Class B IP - A group of IP addresses where the first two numbers remain the same and the last two can vary. It could be represented by w.x.y.z, where the y and z can be any number from 0-255, and the w and x represent the first static part of the IP address (e.g., 10.251.y.z). Thus, the number of possible combinations within the Class B address are 256*256 = 65,536. Of course, some of the addresses, like those ending in .0 and .255, are not used, so the actual number of usable addresses in a Class B is somewhat less than that. The subnet mask of a class B IP address is 255.255.0.0. Thus, only the last two digits of the IP address are used to determine where traffic gets routed within the Class B. There are about 65,000 class B groups in existence.
Also, IPv6 is supposedly going to become increasingly popular in the future. IPv4 is the current standard, and provides 32 bit addressing, which provides a total of 4,294,967,296 possible IP's. IPv6 uses 8 blocks of 4 hex numbers, as opposeed to IPv4's 4 blocks of 8 bit binary numbers. This will allow for 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 unique IP's.
Seems to me like it's a bit of overkill, but it's the wave of the future! There are already IPv6 enabled browsers, and some ISP's offer IPv6.. but it's definetely not popular yet.
Geez, I'm such a geek. :/
I don't even know why I got into all that. lol.
it will be great once ipv6 catches on, you will be able to have address for everything (cellphone, pda, etc) it will help alot, right now their is an IP shortage :0 or is there?

If only I could patent human DNA...
Now this is just getting ridicilous
