  1. how does this affect my ethernet chip by TheGratefulNet · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    on my motherboard?

    is disney going to extend the copyright and make the kernel driver extend some hundred years past the chips death?

    will they only let the driver out every few years and then, its 'back in the vault' ?

    maybe I have to find another ethernet chip vendor now..

  3. How often does Disney buy Marvel? by AP31R0N · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Daily? Weekly?

    Looks to me that Disney is buying Marvel just once, not habitually. Perhaps the headline should be "Disney Bought Marvel" or "Disney Will Buy Marvel Tomorrow".
