LinuxPlanet Interviews Robert Bork

Greg writes: "Robert Bork, former Supreme Court appointee from the Reagan era and a recent entrant in the MS antitrust case, did an interview over at LinuxPlanet. The topic? The Evil Empire's court settlement." Bork isn't actually new to the Microsoft case or to the subject of monopolies -- his legal experience makes this an interesting read, even for those who don't consider Microsoft an "evil empire."

WTF?

an interesting read, even for those who don't consider Microsoft an "evil empire".

Huh? This is Slashdot, right?

Weeeee...Sporkin + Bork sport

[Snodgrass]

The Honorable Judges Sporkin and Bork eat pork with forks, popping corks off ports while chortling over court reports of sports of a sordid sort.

bork? as in, "bork bork bork"?

"I dun't theenk it dues unytheeng tu Meecrusufft," said Bork in an interview with Linux Planet. "I theenk it joost lets zeem cunteenooe-a es zeey vere-a beffure-a."

sorry, couldn't help myself.

An interesting read...

[blakestah]

Just read it.

For those who haven't, here is the summary.

Linuxplanet: Isn't the proposed settlement horseshit.

Bork: Yes, I'd have to say I agree with that.

Insightful - NOT !

Has Hell frozen over?

[MsGeek]

I actually read the article. Carefully. And damn if I don't agree with the grumpy old bastard.

Wow. Either this is a fever dream or reality has just warped.

Evil Empire?

[igorxa]

The topic? The Evil Empire's court settlement.

Wow, I had no idea that the former Soviet Union had even sued anyone.
