Intel Must Pay $150M for Patent Infringement

An anonymous reader writes "ExtremeTech is reporting that a U.S. district court has ruled that Intel's Itanium infringes Intergraph's intellectual property to the tune of $150 million in damages. The judge also cleared the way for Intergraph to request an injunction blocking sales of Itaniums and Itanium 2's."

    I think you're right. That piece of crap makes ESR look even more nut than his gun fantasies.

    failure of Islamic/Arab culture

    Yeah, the culture that brought us astronomy, mathematics, medicine and basic hygiene while us Europeans were still wallowing in dirt (bathing kills you!), mostly illiterate and anti-science because of the Church and once in a while going on murderous rampages in neighbouring "heathen" countries (or sometimes just ransacking a nearby christian city because the Holy Land was just too far).

    They will hate us and seek to destroy us not for what we've done but for what we are.

    I'm still unable to comprehend how the Americans can be so blind to the reason behind "the hate". Of course, it must give a warm and fuzzy feeling to believe that "they hate us because we're so good, because we have freedom and democracy". Well, the brutal truth is that the reason why you are attacked is that you're the friend of these peoples' enemy and that makes you their enemy as well.

    Shut up the jewish lobbying groups and stop supporting the Israel's terror regime in the Middle East and watch most of your troubles disappear. You might even get your oil cheaper and without having to bleed in the sand once in a while. Do you see islamic terrorists attacking European targets? No, and that's because instead of blindly accepting whatever attrocities Israel commits we speak for the other party as well.

    While I agree with you about ESR's undoubtable racism, I must question why you chose to post this again in a span of three minutes. Nevertheless, ESR's comments are outrageous and condemnable. Where are all the Open Source devotees who browbeat RMS about his leftist pursuits? I don't hear anyone in the OSS movement tell ESR to shut up and keep quiet. I suspect many of these Open Source enthusiasts are apologists for imperialism and perhaps committed Zionist racists.

    I have just mailed ESR a strongly worded letter about how I, as a fellow Open Source advocate, feel about him making such outrageously racist claims.

    Like it or not, he is an Open Source icon and should be more careful about what he says on sensitive issues like this.
