  6. this sucks on Disney Buys Pixar · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Now we will see Nemo 2, Nemo 3 (dvd only release) and a Nemo tv series, with each one getting a little crappier. Same for all other Pixar films.

    Disney will milk the IP till the cow dies and will probably not fund development of new IP.

    2) Milk IP
    3) Short-time profit

  20. Skin of his teeth on German Youth Convicted for Sasser Worm · · Score: 5, Informative

    It wasnt even this close, because in Germany the youth criminal law is applicable to persons up to the age of 21, depending on how "adult" they behave and live. E.g. Living in your own apartement and having a job will probably get you treated as an adult. For his case the social projections are quite good, because he now lives a stable life with a regular job and a girlfriend.
