Tesla had either inheritors or creditors who inherited everything that was his when he went bankrupt (I know he came close but I'm not sure if he ever did go bankrupt). So this seems sort of... made up.
In lucrative locations subway has already sold the region-wide rights to franchises so it may have indeed been 150k; only it was from the owner of that region, not Subway itself.
As long as your browser has permissions to connect through HTTP to other servers exploits will still be bad--you can DDoS sites with just this level of functionality(though it is much easier to filter one of this sort than one utilizing spoofed IP addresses).
Usually a person's epiphany which is considered great, let alone greatest ever, is at least original. This has been a common talking point for closed source advocacy for... as long as there has been an ongoing argument.
So you are proposing we do away with trade-secrets laws? So anytime a competitor asks one of my employees for a detailed analysis of everything my business is doing he can give it to them, and I will have no recourse even against the employee even if he agreed to work for me with the terms that he couldn't do such a thing? I disagree in general with being able to have recourse with the competitor, but that is not what you are saying here. What you are saying here is... insane.
Free speech isn't something that you can't voluntarily give up. If I want to kick out patrons in a restaurant because they are cussing, I can; indeed to say that I can't is tantamount to taking away my freespeech rights.
"No employment contract should be able to take away free speech." Wow, that is an overbroad statement if I have ever seen one. If I am a newspaper and I find out someone has been blatantly letting his personal bias into articles unchecked I can't fire him for that reason?
If he wanted to be taken seriously he would have tried to have the article posted; he certainly wouldn't have just put it up on his LiveJournal. Blame Slashdot for making it sound quasi-official, not him for having a few spelling mistakes.
eBay is making more money in their core business than would be reasonable to spend back into improving their core business. Should they just pay dividends? Or do they have the management etc. to make more of their profits than your typical investor could with the dividend? I'm not so sure.
Anything that uses a lot of pointers to very small chunks of data will have an increase. A 2x increase in memory usage? Maybe if your program is just pointers to pointers to pointers.

Newton: he was pretty prestigous in his day, but I don't pretend to know his motivations.
Bacon: I don't too much about him.
Shannon: you mentioned that he published his work in 1948 and didn't patent it. Who cares, if he had tried and patented it he would still be trying because mathematics aren't patentable now and weren't then. Furthermore computer algorithms, not that that is what he did with his seminal work, weren't patentable then either. Not that any of this disputes whether or not he had motivations other than interest but it just points out that everything you said didn't do so either.
Tesla: This is the worst one you mentioned. Tesla almost went insane over his patents.
After Tesla described the nature of the benefits from his proposed modifications, Edison offered him US$50,000 if they were successfully completed. Tesla worked nearly a year to redesign them and gave the Edison company several enormously profitable new patents in the process. When Tesla inquired about the $50,000, Edison replied to him, "Tesla, you don't understand our American humor", and reneged on his agreement. Edison reportedly offered to raise Tesla's salary by $10 per week as a compromise - at which rate it would have taken almost 100 years to earn the money Edison had originally promised. Tesla resigned on the spot.
That was from the wikipedia entry on him. As far as giving his patents to Westinghouse? He did that as Westinghouse was about to go bankrupt; if Westinghouse had gone bankrupt Tesla wouldn't have been able to collect on the royalties owed to him from the past. Tesla basically gave him a break so that he could remain financially solvent and pay him his past debts--kinda like how a loan shark doesn't take a plumber's wrenches the minute he is late repaying the loan.

Exactly. More food without accompanying education etc. will just mean that more babies get pumped out who will eat more food.
Most of their talent has been sucked up by various places (for instance the daily show).
Text selection, not printer selection.

x ft/x ft eyesight only refers to distance viewing...
It was a Kirby game for the gameboy color. The "ball" was Kirby.
That isn't even a prize category. Density related works usually go under physics. You really are ignorant.
"Most cordless phones these days have a speakerphone and dial pad in the base, anyway."
Most of these still don't work unless the power brick is plugged in. They don't function at all off of line power.

Head moving thing.. unless the TV moves as well that doesn't really work.
The difference is my post didn't offer some external bit of knowledge which I ask you to assume is true; it just used pure logic.
to be fair the nintendo design does have one more axis of freedom and you probably didn't play any games with it specifically in mind.
There is such a thing as a solid state gyroscope... we can only hope they used one.
If you have played Die by the Sword with a gyroscopic mouse you know exactly how much potential this thing has. It will rock.
By that logic IR is RF.

IE for Linux? It never existed. It did exist on Unix and they did stop making it.. but it was never made available on Linux.
And reading an anonymous coward's post is now considered "checking validity?" Wow. Just. Wow.
