Sounds like you need a better backup plan.
To lose one piece of software, Mr Anonymous, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose four looks like carelessness.

You don't remember the name of the book, do you? (More prior art)
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, August 15 2012 @ 08:03 PM EDT
Since prior art is clearly out there....it doesn't *have* to be yours!

And, as for losing software, well, I've done it too...Somewhere, on paper tape
no less, is my BASIC programs for calculating thousands of digits of e and pi
over a weekend. I don't have the programs, including the fortran compiler (in
FORTRAN!) I wrote for college, nor the steepest-descent program either.

Software patents are a joke
Authored by: Charles888 on Wednesday, August 15 2012 @ 09:33 PM EDT
...And, to grant protection of close
to 20 years for something that
progresses and changes so fast is a
bigger joke.
