Stupid memory patent !

I was looking how to make my Memory Mgr thread safe.

So I thought TWO seconds and I said to myself I should "use a heap for each thread" ... Seems obvious, no?

I thought about that one year ago but hadn't the time to implement it.

Now after a simple google I fall on THAT : http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/7111294.html
A patent issued on sept 06 on "thread-specific heap"

What the f***...
Are the legislators so stupid they can't see what is obvious!

America will fall because of all those legislations.
