Market cap is not the same thing as book value, and the book value of the Coca Cola brand is less than $80 billion. Google is up with Apple and Coca Cola as most valuable brands, but Facebook is not even top 10.

Ahem. I know a thing about tech, lawyers, and banking. You're talking about misconceptions about tech while feeding misconceptions about law and banking. In reality, most people in all three industries don't make $200K salaries. A

Won't be using this suckless format. Pretty useless. The real image formats took effort and are mature. This is just a more compact, less useful hacked out version of netpbm etc. Being easy to parse is no particular virtue. Use librari
