    "Microsoft Appeals Anti-Trust to Supreme Court"

    They may not have liked it, but the movie never mentioned the company Microsoft. I don't see what the Supreme Court will do for them at this point, I mean, it's already in rental anyway.

    As scary the possibility that the verdict could be overturned might be, it is completely outweighed by the fact that if they lose this one, Microsoft has nowhere else to turn. They will have appealed to the highest court in the USA and LOST.

    ...until the 2002 Q2 release of Microsoft's new JusticeXP rollout which will leverage the use of the new .COURT initiative. As yet there are no plans to announce compatibility with browsers other than IE9.0-SP7. Features of the new OutlookXP will include the new "AutoAppeal" button which builds a mailing list from your .COURT acounts to create a targeted campaign for your appeals process.

    No word yet as to what the theme music will be but they will likely approach artists who already have a grudge against the Federal Government. There have been a significant number of Gnutella searches this week for "Willie Nelson"...

    In another development this morning being reported by the AP service, the sun-- which had unexpectedly disappeared the previous night below the horizon, plunging half the earth into near darkness-- suddenly returned, appearing at the opposite point on the horizon and beginning to slowly rise into the sky.

    Meanwhile, representatives for the U.S. Coast Guard have reported that the place where the ocean meets dry land is continuing to move back and forth between the High Tide and Low Tide points at the rate of about twice a day. What effect this will have on the stock market is as of yet unclear.

    ...and you should not see a movie with no appeal.

    I'd rather have a bannana.

    The real question is:

    Does Bill Gates own any oil companies? If so, He's got all the buddies in Washington DC he'll ever need.
