The USPO seems to rubber stamp all software patents.

As a patent attorney, I can assure you that this is not true.

As a programmer you're going to have a hard time convincing me that it's not.

No one could argue that the patent office never lets through a patent that claims obvious subject matter. Mistakes get made, and bullshit patents issue.

In general though, the examiners I have dealt with are more likely to advance bullshit rejections than issue bullshit patents.
