> what concretely happened: a poaching of a key employee

Not quite the reason for the fine according to TFA:

> Instead, it ruled that Luckey, who was working as a contractor for Zenimax before starting the Kickstarter for the Oculus Rift headset, violated his non-disclosure agreement,

In my personal opinion, whether or not Luckey violated the NDA is a little academic. Clearly, the $3 billion acquisition occurred on the reputation of John Carmack, who was poached.

I don't think you should charge $500 million for a poaching. That's the crux of my anticompetitiveness argument.

Nonetheless, you definitely shouldn't charge $500 million for merely violating an NDA, even if that's what the jury found.

Offtopic but, why do people feel it's alright to refer to the article as The Fucking Article and on some other stuff they get all mad because someone used a curse word? The HN crowd is bipolar...

TFA stands for The Featured Article and always has, though I can understand your misapprehension because of RTFM which does use F as you suggest.

But remember to use fine if anybody important asks.

The "F" in RTFM stands for "First": http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/RTFM

It is as if they are different people!

Thank you all for the downvotes for asking a serious question that was really bugging me. I even bet the ones who downvoted didn't even took the time to answer. Cheers!

TFA has long history, and the OP should be right to use it without anyone getting hurt.
