Just because you were promised a part of "stolen" property doesn't mean that you are entitled to it afterwards when it gets returned. All their anger should go against Zuckerberg promising parts he wasn't entitled to, if this turns out to b

This doesn't affect the employees, just the investors. You can't blaim Paul Ceglia for Zuckerberg trying to trick him out.

No suprise for me. There were already a few posts on hacker news about Facebook's and Zuckerberg's history, and this is just the creme de la creme.

In the last thread they said that they are spending over 250.000$ a year just in servers. They could save huge amounts of money if they would just switch to rented servers.

I don't see a problem there. He still has to pay the ebay fees and everything, so he will loose anyway. And he won't bid on the item himself if he thinks it's an adaquate price.

I finished my studies at the ETH a few years ago, and heard at that time that this was the normal case for chemistry students here as well (at least I was being told) doing a phd. I guess these students must have been from his group as well

In europe: ovh, gandi, or hetzner (they will also offer VPS soon). They are cheaper than rackspace, linode, etc... , and it's not a 2 man shop.

I used foxitreader as well, until they had that feature that they would execute whatever command on your computer and you couldn't disable it... (and you could do this, or at least add a warning in adobe's reader)

Just imagine all their machines were running debian linux with the wrongly patched openssl binary. About 1024 different private/public keys to rule them all :-)

They don't have any money to pay the interns ( http://www.reddit.com/r/blog/comments/c7vdo/call_for_interns... ) , but have money for 2 offices and money to hire a lawyer to check if their internships are legal.

It's really funny that a SSN is enough in the USA to get somebody else in so much trouble. Doesn't work in the other countries, as long as you don't send in copies of your passport or identity card to claim a fake lottery win ;).

Is 2 weeks notice common in the USA? Here in Europe it's 1 month or 3 months, depending on what contract you have.
