What do we expect them to do? They are a small company. If they win the lawsuit they would break even or make a few bucks. If they lose it will be hundreds of thousands and they go out of business. Even if they win a huge settlement, they don't see a dime until the suit is won, the years and years it takes them to win in court leaves them deeply in the red.
We should be more outraged that large companies can effectively strong arm small businesses or individuals out of attempting to raise a suit like this.
Hey guys our company is failing can I convince you to work for a stake in our company
I believe you have nailed it perfectly. But if for some reason you propose this and they agree, this is a sign they know the company is going down in flames and will be worth nothing in under a year.
... we will need to have every browser installed, because every other website on the intertubes will be using different technologies that are only supported by one browser.
So pretty soon it will be like 1998 again. Except this time around there are a lot more browsers to choose from / break compatibility with.
Of course they wont ban them. When political figures can point the finger and say "Won't someone do something about this person?" Both sides need their zealots intact.
If a SUV makes it through a blockcade, do they reconsider the ban?
Not knowing French politics; but I would assume the test will last until the next general election. If polls go badly, it will get revoked before the next election.

I absolutely guarantee the US government payed as much for this code as it would have for any comparable attack with hardware. Hell, the company I work for just payed $19,000 for a SQL statement shorter than this very sentence.
Invoice: Writing short sql statement: $10 Knowing which short sql statement to write: $18990 (assuming it did something useful and necessary)
i cant remember ever running into software which was case-sensitive when it comes to license keys..
I recall running into this because I was ticked off that I had typed the thing in in lower case first. However it was certainly not any software in the last 10 years, and I doubt I have typed more then a handful of license keys in the last 5. (online software distribution ftw)
Also I seem to recall many capchas are case sensitive. I usually type matched case on those just to be sure. When they hit you with a long string of caps, I use caps-lock. Aside from that, it is occasionally handy for certain work, but only slightly. I would be quite happy with a software-only caps-lock solution. (though from the story it does not seem like this is going to be an option)
Not to mention most companies having a "use it or lose it" policy. This results in a lot of people taking the last 2 full weeks of the year off. Then Half of them getting their vacation requests canceled because too many people request off time at the same time. Oh and they dont pay back for untaken off time at the end of the year.
I once worked at a non-profit that has a generous off time, allowed to hold a certain number of total days (based on seniority, but generous), and they pay for untaken off time, even when an employee leaves the company. I got paid 2 full weeks of untaken time when I left.

I assumed you had made those humorous names up. A few searches later and... holy crap.

And the beatings will continue until morale improves!
Remember kids - Reality has no second life.
Sure it does... its called Second Life(tm). Though, sadly enough, people seem to take that more serious than real life.

A2: You get a big iMac.
A "Big iMac" sounds like something you can eat.

Republicans are sore losers.
Q: What happens when you combine a TV with a computer?
A: You get a computer.
Slashdot is in a very murderous mood today. This guy would kill to have a name like Gettys, you will kill if people roll out ATM.
And I notice you forgot to wash your hands.
Lets just say while I have nothing to be ashamed of... I would prefer something not pointing a video camera at my junk while I am taking a piss.
So how does this work?

Can Fax die now? Lets move on to something from the 90's at least. How about email?
Maybe he is not such a douche after all?

EVE had an expansion named Cataclysm years ago.
let it be built in a flood zone.
Does any one else find it amusing that the right wing denies global warming, but believes that a flood once covered the entire planet?
(Not that I know if global warming is real or not... but the flood myth is an interesting one, every culture has one.)
Actually platinum is the element just below gold... :)
Yeah what's the conventional slashdot tag for this?
