THE FEDERATED PUMPKIN-MACHINE METASYSTEM
Today's Internet is a Gourd's Paradise. It is only through user-centric pumpkin-to-machine authentication that we will be able to leverage the true weight of the gourd.
THE FEDERATED PUMPKIN-MACHINE METASYSTEM  

Today's Internet is a Gourd's Paradise. It is only through user-centric pumpkin-to-machine authentication that we will be able to leverage the true weight of the gourd. The synergistic combination of omnidirectional identifiers and correlation handles on a per-vegetable basis could be the sustainable architecture behind the meta-zucchini infrastructure.

Any metasystem needs to realize that pumpkins may vary in physical appearance, but their basic architecture is the same: stem, seeds and pulp represent the core of our constituent squash identity system.

We hope our commentary will stimulate oral interfacing across the vegosphere and among the “gourderati”.

That all lawyers could be so gainfully employed!
