This was my initial reaction too when this drama first started, but after a few minutes I realized, wouldn't a good lawyer be able to turn this internet backlash into some kind of sobstory about victimization for a dumb jury? There is a realistic possibility that Carrean will make Inman bleed badly, maybe enough to bankrupt him, and that scares the crap out of me. What do the lawyers of Slashdot say? Does he have a good case?

The voting day was pushed up by 1 at the very last minute (along with some additional, much worse changes). Ron Paul was in Texas campaigning at the time. I could hardly fault him for not being able to fly across the country to vote at the last minute. Knowing RP, I bet it was logistically impossible for him to get from Tx to Ma in time to vote with the time he was given.

They pushed the voting day up by one at the last minute. Ron Paul was campaigning in Texas at the time, it was probably logistically impossible for him to get back in time to vote.

I use Chrome and Firefox equally. I love Chrome's speed, but one thing I've noticed is that the message history / auto complete is far superior in Firefox (I believe they called it an 'awesome' bar). E.g. if I press 's' and slashdot.org pops up automatically. Firefox's system for this is really really good, I almost never have to use bookmarks now. But Chrome is entirely reliant on bookmarks. Once Google fixes that I will probably permanently switch to Chrome.

If you look at their quarterly reports Yahoo is quite profitable actually, and they are still the third most used website on the internet. In terms of user minutes they trail only slightly behind Facebook (#1) and Google (#2).

Additionally, their patents have separate value that can be quite powerful if used offensively, as all the smartphone manufacturers are doing now.

That quote does not appear anywhere in Mein Kampf. It was made up, probably by some random guy on the internet.

That's it? 1.9 billion? We at Slashdot are used to talking about companies like Google and Microsoft and Apple which have a 200-300 billion USD market cap each, and yet we keep getting bullied by a company that's only worth 1.9 billion? Jesus. Why hasn't Google or Apple shut them down yet?

You are making the assumption that the neutrinos from SN1987A were excited to the same or higher energy level by the supernova that the LHC neutrinos were excited to. My bet is this assumption is false.

I call BS on this story. How could have spent 331 days at work when their are 104 days of weekend, 4 weeks of annual leave + sick leave? This comes to 134 - 141 days off in a year... The government generally gives a lot of time off for employees.

Unless he spent almost all his time at work...in which case all the porn was probably necessary to keep himself sane. Also I seriously doubt he spent all 8 hours in a day looking up porn, as this article hints at. Most likely this is just more anti-gvmt propaganda by the Washington times.
