As reported on Fucked Company, Gateway (I think it's the computer company) has a patent on a "System for personalized settings":
A method and system for adjusting the settings of an information handling system based on the individual user preferences of one or more users is disclosed.
Filed on June 19th, 1998. Alas, I didn't publish My Color Scheme Code until September 15th, so I suppose that doesn't count as prior art. I wonder if I'll be getting a "cease and desist" for that or the ability to specify comment order or text box size?
