Actually, the funniest thing about Experts Exchange (aside from the URL) was that for some years you could get the supposedly paywalled answer just by scrolling down past the notices telling you to pay for it - I guess that got Google the full page data while fooling enough people to make a business, at least until StackOverflow took over.

Wow, who could have predicted that trebling fees back in 2012 would cause a problem?

If you can't provide an inventory of what is in your software product, you probably don't know what's in it, and therefore shouldn't be in the business of writing software.

Are you saying you never had to learn what "Excel" is? or "Powerpoint"?

Right. Although we do consume some toothpaste via what's leftover in the mouth after brushing, I'd expect you'd have to have quite high concentrations in the toothpaste to be of any concern. We probably ingest more lead via air pollution and in our food than via this vector, though it would have to be properly studied to be sure, assuming it hasn't been already.

Actually it was Sebastian Shaw.

Could this be considered constructive dismissal in the UK?

Technically, selling their stake in ARM doesn't prevent them from doing ARM-based chips in the future (or even right now) - it just means they are no longer shareholders.

SUID in modern times is fundamentally broken though. I'm sure it was great when a lot of the security mechanisms we now take for granted simply did not exist, but that was decades ago.
