Intel Seeking Moore's Law Original Publication

ackthpt writes "Gordon Moore's famous prediction, labeled Moore's Law, was originally published in the April 19, 1965 issued of Electronics. Sometime since, he lent out his copy and it has never been returned. Intel would like an original copy of the now defunct magazine and is offering $10,000 for a copy, presumably in good condition. The story is carried on Reuters, and if you happen to have a copy (of your own, not stolen from a museum or library) you may contact Intel via eBay's WantItNow."

Re:whoever, not whomever

Um... in the phrase "for whomever", the latter word is indeed an object -- in fact, one of the prepositional variety.

We have enough trouble here with pedantry against legitimate grammar fouls... let's try to leave the correct ones alone shall we? :)

I would have thought that it's a subject of the noun clause (whoever attempts), with the whole clause being the object of the preposition, not just the "whoever"
