I had to race to google to find out what “contumely” meant.
You ought to link fancy words like these it to their definitions
con·tu·me·ly/kənˈt(y)o͞oməlē/
Noun:
Insolent or insulting language or treatment.

Loved that.

I also loved your use of the word “umbrage.”
It sounds like rough sex.

The glass ceiling comes as a surprise? It’s more impenetrable than it’s ever been.

LinkUp. HoHum.

Maybe veterans should create their OWN social network. They have lots of time on their hands.

And as far as workers being on their best behavior – yeah. And even with drastically increased workloads. This whole thing has played nicely into their (corporate) hands.

That’s what I think.

In patent patios, an NPE is a non-practicing entity- someone not using the invention, yet seeking rents for it. Usually patent trolls are NPE’s, but not always.

Patent Trolls tend to go after smaller targets, sue defendants in bunches, sue on old patents, sue without warning, and proffer patents that have validity issues. Check, Check, Check, Check, and Check in this case.

Kenexa “competes” with none of the dozen defendants they named. So maybe they are not a pure NPE, but lets give em a check on that one too….. if it looks like a troll and sues like a troll….it simply must be a patent troll.

IMHO, Kenexa has decided to undertake the business equivalent of aggressive war with their far smaller neighbors.

They should be shunned for this shameful display of bullying, because that’s what it is. Main Sequence is known for punching above our weight, but it’s cold comfort that Kenexa is not going to enjoy combat with us.

Software patents in general are just a huge problem for our industry. When the rules of the game are whack, it’s up to the players to show some honor.

That’s why fools who start avoidable wars with suprise attacks should get what they have coming- karma wise anyway.
