Microsoft Settlement Comments

GreyPoopon writes: "I'm sure somebody has already sent this in, but what the heck. According to Excite, it looks like a summary of the comments on the Microsoft settlement only show 5 of the 47 released by the Justice Department in support of the settlement. Does this mean that Judge Kollar-Kotelly will rely on only these 47 to make her decision?" The comments that the DOJ describes as "major" are now published; the procedure the DOJ wants to follow for publishing all of the 30,000 comments received is contained in a court filing. (The Federal Register, if you don't know, is a dead-tree, daily publication of the doings of the U.S. Federal Government. The Department of Justice is arguing that there are simply too many comments to publish on paper, despite the legal requirement to do so.)

    So they say that to obey the law would be illogical because it would waste money and paper? So why is ElcomSoft being prosecuted? Or better yet, why does the treasury print new money? It's all paper and will be shredded and burnt in a few years anyways. So it's all wasted. Ha!

    right-wing conservatives *and* far-left liberals. Both are loud, obnoxious, and should be committed to a mental health institution or deported to a small Pacific island.
