Judge Grants MS's No-Press Request

jeffy124 writes: "We already know that Microsoft has requested to bar the media from proceedings in the anti-trust suit. Judge Kollar-Kotelly has granted that request. A 1913 law permitted public access to anti-trust proceedings, but only if the federal government were involved. Because the case no longer includes the feds, that law no longer applies, so MS has successfully closed the doors to the press and public." An anonymous reader points out this coverage at InfoWorld as well.

    Hey, dude, check this out..

    Look at the bottom of the page:

    "If you are using an Macintosh e-mail program that is not from Microsoft, we recommend checking with that particular company. But most likely other e-mail programs like Eudora are not designed to enable virus replication."

    Outlook enables viruses BY DESIGN!

    now watch me loose at least one karma point for being offtopic

    To the best of my knowledge, it would not be possible for you to "let loose or release" one karma point, since Slash does not give you direct control over your own karma. Perhaps you meant to use the word lose.

    Congratulations! You have been participant #10 in my campaign to rid Slashdot of this error.
