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.

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!
I've had enough abrasive sigs. Kittens are cute and fuzzy.
You had something to save
You should have backed it up shouldn't you?
Now your OS misbehaved
You could be fired now couldn't you?
It's now time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And trying to get by
using Windows 95
It used to be so easy now
Until this crash reminded you
Now you'll have to tell them how
Those fancy gadgets blinded you
It's too late to change events
It's time to face the consequence
For deciding to be bright
and use Windows 95
Never, you said, could you go wrong with 3.1
Never, you said, could you go wrong with 3.1
Now you're standing there disc gone
You'd better learn your lesson well
Get a JAZ drive before long
Or an OS not from hell
You'll see your problems multiply
If you continually decide
To never say goodbye
to your Windows 95
Never, you said, could you go wrong with 3.1
Never, you said, could you go wrong with 3.1

I'm sitting here in a boring room
Where everything runs Windoze and not even Doom
I'm wasting my time I got nothing to do
Cause each time I try I have to reboot
And each machine that crashes
Makes me wonder
I'm sitting here I miss the power
Well there's a hundred Mips inside that tower
But there's a heavy system overhead
It's doing no work but swapping instead
And each time that it's hanging
Well I wonder
I wonder how, I wonder why
Everything is different and the papers fly
And all that I can see
Is just this stupid gadgetry
I point and click, it makes a sound
I think it's quite okay but then it crashes down
And booting up I see
The DOS beneath the gadgetry
I'm not quite the one to criticize
After all I'm just one of these other guys
Who can't escape the Gates of Hell
When all I really want is a command line shell
There's animated icons
And I wonder
Resignation
Is what I really fear
Fascination
Is what I want instead of gadgetry
Life could be fulfilled with joy
If there was a way that I could trash this toy
And get a real computer
Well I wonder
I wonder how, I wonder why
They got so big and ugly while nobody tries
To give us what we need
Instead of fancy gadgetry
A crash an hour seems normal here
But everyone accepts it due to stupid fear
Of systems that don't need
That neverending gadgetry

Ataris gone across the Hades
Leaving just a memory
Of systems working without hard disk
And multitasking within one MB
Jack, why'd you take the dough and flee?
All that's now left to see is the pain named NT
All that's now left to see is the pain named NT
We don't need no System.Ini
We don't need no Registry
No animations and no Wizards
Hello Billy, won't you leave us be?
Bill, go away and leave us be
The one thing I'll never buy is the pain named NT
The one thing I'll never try is the pain named NT
I don't need no Sun to warm me
I don't need no Mac to calm me
My NeXT computer won't be a PC
After all there's still a place to Be!
And what I'll never feel is the pain named NT
And what I'll never know is the pain named NT

Slashdot seems to have a habit of surpressing coverage of their own faults, too.
I begin to wonder how this shit makes it paste the lameness filter.

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.
Proudly correcting Slashdot's most irritating linguistic error since 2002.

Oh wait, they have to be different? Hmm...
>You sir are a fucking karma whore!
And your point is?
>I have proof that you wrote the AC post!
You have precisely shit. In order to have proof, the event must have occured.
