That's been true forever. TI was always the WORST for no-stock/long-lead-time screwage. I can remember screaming at a Hamilton-Avnet rep back in the early 80's that "I could go home tonight and order a baby and have it delivered before that!".
We have to recycle content here on Slashdot, because the lack of cost and rampant piracy prevents new content creation. If Slashdot had a paywall, and DMCA'd pirates, we'd get brand-new stories every day, without any dupes.
You forgot to mention the complete lack of shielding. One guy with an Osborne could prevent a whole Ramada Inn full of people from watching TV. Literally.
You make it sound as if EITHER party in a lawsuit has ANY control over which judge hears the case. Hint: it's nothing at all like jury selection. The best either party can do is politely and meekly request a judge recuse themselves - and better have a damn good reason for doing so; "we don't think you'll be honest and fair" isn't going to play too well.
But the thing about McAfee is that they *do* market themselves as "security experts". Therefore they should be ridiculed as the useless twats they always have been.
Much as I hate "FTFY" posts, I had to Fix That For You.
Remember assigning static IP addresses by the seat of your pants? Pull a number, X, between 2 and 253 out of your ass, ping 192.168.254.X, if nobody answered, go ahead and assign your new network printer to it. Hey, what could go wrong?
I think you're mixing apples and onions here a little. Corporations are welcome to use and/or modify GPL code all they want - internally. The rub comes when they want to redistribute and/or sell that code. At that point, their modifications have to go back into the kitty so everyone else can benefit. And yes, before anyone tries confuse the issue further, this doesn't apply to LGPL code.

Not really. The code reviews are still pecker contests.

As my high-school English teacher used to say: "Be brief, be concise, and be seated".
I just threw up in my mouth a little. But then I imagined Microsoft's response:
You have successfully changed your radio station.
You must restart your car for the changes to take effect.
Do you want to restart your car now?

This being Slashdot, it would only be ++i or --i; that is, increment/decrement BEFORE reading.
McAffe.com is totally safe.
Then again, it took almost 30 years for the change in momentum to be measurable, so don't expect any guest appearances on Top Gear.

Google fibre isn't evil. Says so right on the tin.

In Hollywood years, it's 3,000.
Either way, it really should be enough for anyone.

Absolutely correct. I should have stipulated that.
Somehow, parent's anti-GPL screed is "insightful" and my post is a "troll". <looks at URL bar> Yup, this is Slashdot <blinks> I'll be in my room.
No, no you don't have to allow corporations to make money from your (donated) code.
