The highest by any publicly traded company, you mean. I'm pretty sure Saudi Aramco is at the top with annual profits estimated at a whooping $182 billion. Where else do you think the terrorists and the Bush family keep getting all that money from?
So what constitutes a "product" when it comes to software? Say Mozilla implement this new format for Firefox, does that mean Mozilla have to pay $0.20 to MPEG LA every time someone downloads a copy of Firefox?
The demo website linked in the story sent a BPG decoder implemented Javascript to our browsers. So does that mean Bellard owe MPEG LA a metric shit-ton of money now?

Just FYI, the rule against illegal cartoons exists in the USA too. The Supreme Court struck down attempts to use CP laws in this way as being obvious nonsense, so Congress just went ahead and amended the law to make it explicitly illegal as opposed to implicitly illegal.
You apparently missed some important details. I have highlighted them for you.
Only half of the code has been released so far. This is supposed to be an open source software and hardware project and not a single schematic or Gerber file has been released so far.
The submitter added that on their own. The bill applies to all US persons, i.e., all citizens, permanent residents, and corporate entities.
From the actual text of the bill:
The term ‘United States person’ means a citizen or permanent resident alien of the United States, or an entity or organization organized under the laws of the United States or a State or political subdivision thereof.’
The word "citizen" doesn't even occur in the article.
I did, and all I received was an automatic reply saying that slashdot.org will not respond to or even read my messages, due to the large number of emails received at that address.
That is an utterly unacceptable response. I am outraged; I shall be referring this matter to the German police.
No, you didn't, you liar. You said "And it's not a chinese word".
but you assholes insulted me because I didn't know the cantonese word.
No, I insulted you because you wasted everyone's time with your ignorant bullshit about how a Cantonese word isn't Chinese. If you had said "And it's not a Mandarin word" then I would have modded you informative and moved on.
Typical government bureaucracy, relying on outdated technology.
Nearly 10 years ago, top minds in the private industry already developed super dogs that not only detected DVDs but could also determine the legal status of said DVDs by smell alone.
As long as you know for sure that the person you are paying doesn't intend to just keep the thing that they bought for you....
We're talking about something that is ordered online and shipped straight to one of the scalper's many addresses, so there's zero chance the mule could run off with it.
...and scalping tends to be discourage by the law...
Show me *one* law anywhere in the world that prohibits the scalping of non-ticket items.

eBay Compromised

What probably happened is that they got compromised, and then whoever compromised it tried to sell the account information to the highest bidder.

I was about to comment on the woosh that just flew over your head, but then I decided it was too much trouble.
The highest by any publicly traded company, you mean. I'm pretty sure Saudi Aramco is at the top with annual profits estimated at a whooping $182 billion. Where else do you think the terrorists and the Bush family keep getting all that money from?
There ought to be bots scanning /. to weed out duplicates.
Even better:
You searched "Sony". Here are the names, SSN, and phone number of every Sony employee. Click here to sign them all up for hourly Cat Facts.

In case you live under a rock, *BSD serves a third of the traffic on the internet.
The only major difference between MIT and Apache 2.0 is that the latter contains an explicit patent grant. I assume this is what you're referring to?
Are you saying Microsoft plans to pull a SCO in the future?
The problem is that with the US system, you cannot vote blank.
Just vote for a third party candidate. That amounts to the same thing. /s
A two-thirds supermajority shareholder vote can remove the public benefit provision.
Yes, it does:

That cancellation was itself cancelled after the ceasefire was announced. The sale is still going through.
That thing is:
1. High altitude
So is Facebook's proposed aircraft.
2. Not delivering payloads to customers
That's why the Facebook version has three times the wingspan at 60 meters, to carry the extra battery for nighttime operations.
Some of that info seems bogus. 10,000 CNC mills? Unlikely. 10,000 CNC machines of all types across all of Apple manufacturing, maybe.
I was skeptical too, but then I looked up the numbers and turns out 10,000 is actually an underestimation:
Foxconn, the Apple supplier that doubled factory pay after a spate of worker suicides, buys 800 programmable Robodrills from Fanuc every month - for about $62,000 each - to make the stainless steel band that wraps around the iPhone.
The Fanuc Robodrill is the world's common CNC machine measured by installation numbers and by total value thanks to Apple.
they made 68 iphones to sell this holiday season.
Now I finally understand why Apple fans have to line up three days ahead.

You buy 10 shares GOOG at $500. Later you buy 20 share of GOOGs at $550. Later you buy 20 share of GOOG at $560.
If you pay 30 shares to somebody
So, you wait a month, now GOOG is at $570, and you sell 5 shares.
Your cost base is ( $500 * 10 + $550 * 20 + $560 * 20) / 50 = 544
When you paid someone that 30 shares, the price at that instant was $560, so you made a capital gain of (560-544)*30 = $480
When you sold 5 shares at $570, you made a capital gain of (570-544)*30 = $130
I really don't see what's so confusing about this.
I replied the insult wasn't a word in Mandarin,
No, you didn't, you liar. You said "And it's not a chinese word".
but you assholes insulted me because I didn't know the cantonese word.
No, I insulted you because you wasted everyone's time with your ignorant bullshit about how a Cantonese word isn't Chinese. If you had said "And it's not a Mandarin word" then I would have modded you informative and moved on.
And it's not a chinese word, in case you were wondering.
I was actually wondering why you're wasting everyone's time by commenting about a word which you apparently know nothing about.
Finally, what the hell is the z supposed to stand for in 0z?
He's probably a German speaker. Binary is Zeugenschutzprogramm in German.
