While on the subject of law.... anybody know if and where the public filings, motions, etc. that FSC supposedly filed might be on the web?

GO Bill Gates

It states that the patent covers a way to execute a program on a remote server and then send the results to the client. Doesn't Flash run on the client and not the remote server?
