Chip Maker Gets $35 Million Judgment

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the levels-of-hurt-i-don't-want-to-think-about dept.

Neoflexycurrent writes "The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed a $35 million judgment against Clear Logic for violation of the Semiconductor Chip Protection Act of 1984. The court concluded that the jury properly rejected Clear Logic's argument that it had legitimately reverse engineered Plaintiff Altera Corporation's mask work design to create cheaper application-specific integrated circuits."

    Jabbar Gibson for New Orleans Mayor!

    Jar-Jar Binks for New Orleans Mayor!

    B-)

    But while Jar-Jar saved more people, Jabbar evacuated non-fictional people from a non-fictional disaster. And did it in New Orleans rather than long ago in a galaxy far away.

    Also: Jar-Jar has already been raised to high office for his heroism. Last I heard Jabar is still a random-citizen refugee who has received only his 15 seconds of fame.

    Since Jabbar did what the mayor SHOULD have done, did it decicively, in a timely fashion, and got it right, Mayor of New Orleans seems like a good office for him. B-)

      Jar Jar was one of the key players in Palpatine's rise to power (remember who it was who originally gave him emergency powers) and is thus inderectly responsible for all those killed due to Imperial rule, which, of course, includes the entire population of Alderaan, as well as countless others. Don't be too quick to praise him.
