Method for geolocating logical network addresses
Abstract
Method for geolocating logical network addresses on electronically switched dynamic communications networks, such as the Internet, using the time latency of communications to and from the logical network address to determine its location. Minimum round-trip communications latency is measured between numerous stations on the network and known network addressed equipment to form a network latency topology map. Minimum round-trip communications latency is also measured between the stations and the logical network address to be geolocated. The resulting set of minimum round-trip communications latencies is then correlated with the network latency topology map to determine the location of the network address to be geolocated.Comment

Not yet it wasn't. Next time he takes the Lambo out for a spin he'll nip back a couple of years and file the idea before you even thought of it.Originally posted by SupremeSpod
[Note: That was an unoriginal attempt at humour inspired by the following corker of a game:
U.S. Patent Number 1
Eureka! You've just invented time travel.
But the awful truth is that you're not alone.
In fact, scientists have been inventing time travel since 1814.
But if you have a time machine, it really doesn't matter who invented it first. All that matters is who gets to the Patent Office first.
And by "first" we mean on opening day. Because nothing suits a time machine like U.S. Patent 1.
Game Synopsis: U.S. Patent Number 1 is a racing game. Every player is a scientist who has invented time travel, and now everyone is racing to the Patent Office to prove who invented it first. Because you have a time machine, it's not enough to get to the Patent Office fast. You actually have to go back in time, to the day the Patent Office opened!
During this race you will upgrade your machine with some gadgets, including a power plant, a chassis, a weapon, and a shield. You can invent these things on your own, you can buy them, or you can steal them from the other players. Only a machine with all four upgrades qualifies to earn the patent, and you have a limited supply of money and power to spend.]

Ermm, but if you have a time machine
Can't you go back in time and kill all your competitors at a young age so they never develop into your competitors?Why not?Comment

Just you wait and see. Come tomorrow after Threaded has read and digested Spod's idea, none of his posts will appear on this board and none of us will remember who he was.Originally posted by DundeegeorgeI'm Spartacus.Comment

Too late. Threaded's already got the Lambo out and is on his way back in time to erase your timestream even as we speak. Come tomorrow you will cease to have ever existed.Originally posted by SupremeSpodI'm Spartacus.Comment
