The Wacky World of Wally World
This is a guys log of his life working at Wal-Mart.
I currently work at a mass merchandising corporate chain known as Wally World. If you have not heard of Wally World then you are lying, because you have. Besides the fact that I believe that I work for an evil corporate empire, Wally World is actually a pretty good place to work, despite a few setbacks from time to time. The reason I have posted a web site about my job is because Wally World happens to be a mecca for shoppers, and everyone is a shopper, especially stupid people.

A patent underlying one of the Web’s most popular graphics formats is set to expire later this month, raising the question of whether a rival, open format, created as a royalty-free alternative, will become obsolete.
The situation has also rekindled debate about patents, innovation and the freedom of communication.
In the United States, the patent for the Lempel-Ziv-Welch, or LZW, compression algorithm expires June 20. LZW forms the basis of the popular GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) design.
LZW patent owner Unisys said it has no plans to apply for an extension to the U.S. patent, or to patents in Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, France and Italy – though it will enforce those latter patents for another year, until they too expire.
