I'm pretty sure the grandparent meant "not sucking" in the sense of not setting out to crush the competition with dirty tricks, and then illegally abusing a monopoly position. He's kind of a filthy maple-tree hugging hippy that way.
Worth? I'd imagine it's worth about $100 million, with the other $1.5 billion being put in escrow to pay the inevitable copyright suits. You know there are people camped outside YouTube just waiting for it to be worth their time to sue it.
Not really. The Slashdot zeitgeist is that creators should live on pity handouts, like mimes, and only earn as much as they can stuff in their cheek pouches, like squirrels. That fits this begging post rather neatly; I'm almost certain that I recall mime-squirrels forming a core part of Discordia.
As a user of Alyson Hannigan's film products, I demand that she must give me open access to her networking wetware. I represent thousands of nerd, all of whom want this access, and I am prepared to act as a gatekeeper and distributor, conditional only on being given first access rights. I expect this demand to have every bit as much success as Theo's.
According to top White House Scienticians, we also have to give equal credence to the ISGB3 hypothesis, in which personal characteristics are regulated by an Invisible Sky Giant shouting "BOOGLY BOOGLY BOOGLY".
Hello, my name is Rogerborg^W B3ryllium, and I like to steal candy from small children. Sometimes, I (that is, Rogerborg^W B3ryllium) take upskirt pictures of Scotsmen. I only hope that this confession from me, Rogerborg^W B3ryllium, never falls into the hands of my enemies, as it would surely be used to convict me. And by me, I mean, Rogerborg^W B3ryllium.
Did you actually get a new battery? Did you check the date of manufacture? I have a suspicion that somewhere in the bowels of Sony that there's a little man who shuffles 99% of the at-risk batteries from an In pile to an Out pile. On the bright side, someone who had a hot battery is no doubt enjoying a cool lap thanks to yours now.

$100 million to YouTube, $1.5 billion in the Lawsuit Warchest.

Don't make me break out the gingification gun and send you back where you came from.
That was their own fault for lowering their shields and powering down the warp engines.
Meesa admire himsa for taking big-big riskas though.
Meesa want subliminal implanta versions!
You're being a bit harsh. I mean, I think it's great that Microsoft are finally catching on the concept of Shareware, 20 years after everyone else.
Harlan Ellison's best work!

Well, I have, but not on Slashdot.
Yes, I could.

You'd pay $1000 for an iPod just for it to have "Made in the USA by illegal Mexican immigrants" sticker on it?

No. Next question.

And thus dies the Slashdot ratings system. I think you meant "+1, Demonstrates by example"
Well, bingo. What is this, "clumsy leech-troll day"?
Selling bootleg beer from a shop with a "Nej Norsk" sign in the window would take care of all of those problems.

Succinctly: If you can telecommute from Milwaukee, then you can telecommute from Mumbai.
Pretend that I don't know, and that I care.
