Posted by timothy on from the free-mouse-hats-with-cable-service dept.

BenBenBen writes "Comcast have made a surprise $66 billion bid for Disney. The public bid (aimed at swaying shareholders) follows a period of secret negotiation which resulted in Eisner saying no. Comcast has a statement on their website and there is better coverage available here."

    Why don't take that 66 billion and wipe out poviety in starvation in this world.

    If you're getting spammed, it's your own fault. I've had 4 email addresses in use at comcast for over 3 years now (well, attbi.com first) and I only get about 1 true spam message a month on all 4 accounts.

    Slashdot and thousands of communities like it still exist today, and there is no sign that they are on the decline. Come to me when they start collapsing.
    Coca-Cola is so named because it used to be shipped with a fair amount of cocaine within. But eventually, cocaine got outlawed.

    So did marijuana.

    Generally, we are clever enough to work around such problems.
    Those who are "clever" enough to run around the problem of having cocaine (or marijuana) banned usually end-up as jailed political prisoners.

    Never assume that blogs such as /. won't get outlawed, or that the Internet will be gutted by croporations (and their governmental minions).
