Rambus Destroyed Evidence In Anti-trust Trial

Marasmus writes "CNN is reporting that memory-chip maker Rambus has been found guilty of destroying evidence which was 'critical' to the anti-trust case brought by the U.S. government. Interestingly, the Judge has denied the FTC's request to move on to the penalty phase of the trial. Destruction of evidence in an anti-trust case normally yields a forfeiture of trial, but Rambus 'will have the burden of proving its innocence" instead.'

    Yes this is totally off topic, and I appologize, but I'm personally shocked to not see a story about this courtesy of Google News

    France, Russia and Germany have vowed not accept a new United Nations Security Council resolution paving the way for military action against Iraq.

    Sure it's not geeky, but it's just as important as Rambus's cut-n-burn policy.

    No, please just keep trolling slashdot... leave (us the) fark alone. Fark mods just delete your posts anyway and no-one will see them. Here, at least your stupidity is still on display for conspiracy theorists looking to see what views 'geek illuminati' is trying to supress.

    They get trolled quite a bit.
