Continuing Twists In Microsoft, Intel Cases

An Anonymous Coward writes: "New York Attorney General Elliot Spitzer and California Attorney General Bill Lockyer have threatened to pursue their own sanctions against Microsoft if they conclude that the Justice department isn't being tough enough. Amongst other things, they demand that Windows XP "receive close scrutiny in arriving at a judicially ordered remedy. Go NY!"" NaughtyusMaximus points us to this message at Anandtech about Via reacting to Intel's patent-infringement suit by turning around and suing Intel -- for patent infringement -- in Taiwan and the U.S.. Via is also countersuing Intel in England.

  3. How about the other monopolies? by nabucco · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    When are attorney generals going to start going after the Baby Bells (Verizon, SBC - I guess any day now all the Bell companies will recombine again) who have been preventing DSL companies from their legal access to central offices? There is a glut of backbone bandwidth out there, high demand for high-speed home access for it, yet the Bells spend more time trying to drive Covad out of business than providing service to their customer's.

    If this was a free market, that would be one thing - but the government grants a monopoly to the Bell companies. That's the real problem.

    Important Stuff:
    • Please keep in mind -- Taco isn't a programmer
    • Try to avoid the much vaunted and extremely sophisticated lameness and "post compression" filters. If you have difficulty bypassing them, ask any 4 year old for advice
    • Read other people's messages about how the lameness filter is a huge piece of shit, prior to posting similar messages
    • Use a clear subject that describes exactly what feature of slashdot is currently broken due to the helpless efforts of these code posers
    • Offtopic, Inflammatory, Inappropriate, Illegal, or Offensive comments probably won't be moderated, or at least won't be moderated correctly, since that code is also broken and mindlessly favors karma whores and anti-microsoft zealots

    Problems regarding dorked slashdot code should be round filed, because the slashdot staff doesn't know their ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to how to run a robust website.

  7. eating nigger pussy by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    i've eaten a lot of pussy, and i'd have to say that nigger pussy tastes the best. now i know a lot of you here on the internet will disagree with me but hear me out on this one.

    the absolute worst pussy i've ever eaten has to be the pussy of this one paki chick i fucked. man that shit was disgusting, you would think she never cleaned it at all. the smell was unbelivable, i only was going down for a couple minutes before i started to feel nauseous. it was awful... i got her back for her disgusting lack of hygenie by giving her a good punch to the jaw during the intercourse however, i swear the look on that raghead bitchs face when I popped her one was worth the nasty smell down there.

    and white girls usually dont keep their pussy clean either. i've had some real hot women that have real messy pussy. it's a shocker to see a total bombshell that has some sort of nasty yeast infection when you finally get into her pants. i mean if you spend the time on the other stuff, dont forget your most important part too.

    but black girls, i think there's something genetically that makes them smell and taste better. i've had some black girls that were pretty nasty looking but their pussy was just fine. and if you find a good looking jig that takes good care of herself, man that pussy is as sweet as butter. i could go down on a girl like that for hours. plus i think the texture of a niggers pussy is different. it's rougher and has a different grain then a white or paki pussy. i just like the whole package a lot better when its on a fine black girl.

    right now im continuing my research by trying to get with this hot chink girl. when i finally get in her pants ill write back with a detailed report. i am most interested in finding out of chink pussy is slanted like their eyes. this is what i've heard but i plan to verify it myself.

  10. BILL GATES = HOWARD ROARK by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Go ahead and hate Bill Gates. We all know the reason he is disliked on slashdot is because he is rich and you schmucks aren't. Bill Gates worked for his wealth and you could be as rich as Gates is someday IF you work hard at it. But you don't want to work, you are a bunch of lazy secondhanders. You are are a failure and you know it so you are out to destroy all the successes.

    Well it aint gonna work. Go ahead Torvalds(Toohey), keep pumping your "open source" way of doing things. We all know it's just a way to strike back at the people who change the world like Gates. And Taco(Keating), you had potential but now you are all washed up.

    Funny thing is, this might just turn out like the book. With Gates in court and a jury of his peers finding him not guilty. Or then it may turn into Atlas Shrugged. Gates would rather destroy his company than give it away to you secondhanders and who can blame him?? Ten years from now you'll be BEGGING for Gates to return.
