The story goes that Bill Gates asked Mick/Keith how much it would cost to use the song. They decided to come up with a ludicrous figure which no-one in their right mind would pay.
"It'll cost you $12,000,000" they said.
"Fine", said Bill. "Who do I make the cheque payable to?"...
The UK etc are the equivalent of grumpy old men whining about thruppeny bits.
As a Londoner, I have to say that because of the fantastically low-cut tops that were being worn by some of the female performers, I was most certainly not complaining about thrupenny bits during the show...
There's no anti-Israeli bias in the British media, or indeed the British population in general.
The reason that these allegations are made is because the Israeli government is used to the overwhelming pro-Israeli bias in the US media. When foreign (not just British) media displays any kind of balance (by, say, criticising a decision made by the Israeli government) then cries of 'Anti-Semite' go up.
It's extra information about the guy that made the breakthrough. It explains why the article that describes the achievement is The Hindu - an Indian newspaper.
Obviously you are trying to make a not-so-subtle 'it's racist' comment. Would you have been quite so quick to jump on your high horse if the mathematician was of a different nationality - say American or British?
These two have done great things yes, but don't downplay the work of two other great minds, Larry and Page.
Pah - the real brains behind Google were Sergei and Larry. Page and Brin were a couple of no-hope chancers who jumped on the bandwagon after Sergei and Larry had done all the difficult work...
Yes, but the point of this scheme is that if someone steals your wallet (containing your credit cards) then they can't go on a buying spree without your PIN, which they will have no idea of, unless they've watched you type it in when making a purchase.
With signatures, the thief just needs 5 minutes practicing your signatures to get it right, and then they're off down Dixons to load up on laptops.

The Slashdot editor was merely seeding more copies of the 'r's in 'torrents' so that people can download the word quicker...
