Microsoft Anti-Trust Rulings Due Tomorrow
ewhac writes "The Associated Press is reporting that Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly will deliver her opinions on the Microsoft anti-trust suit tomorrow, after close of markets. Much speculation revolves around whether she will approve or reject the settlement negotiated by the Justice Department. Should she reject it, she can only offer suggestions for improvement; she cannot impose amendments. Watch this site for further developments :-)." Reader acacia points out that the opinions should be posted at this site, if you want a quick bookmark.
I realize this is offtopic, but please bear with me:
Was something wrong with the slashdot server? I wasn't able to access the site until just now.
Your Halloween, you have no idea how much it sucks compared to New Orleans.
NOLA 0wn3s tonight.
Carry on.
This is wierd I was moderating this page, and it marked this comment as overrated. I didn't even have a drop down box for it availible. I would've marked it funny. Now it's letting post to a thread I've moderated...hmm.
The government will win the "war on drugs" before it will ever be able to break up Microsoft
Meaning NEVER, right? Are you trying to say that waging the war is a waste of time? Would you rather that your kids were drug addicts? You think that you can teach them better? A third of all Americans are smokers, despite parental guidance to the contrary. A full 90% of Americans are imbibers, despite social pressure to avoid drink.
Drugs like E, horse, and blow are many multiple times worse than tobacco or alcohol. If you just look at the damage caused by those drugs, you can already predict the massive damage caused by legalizing drugs.
The war on drugs may not be a war we can win, but it is sure as hell a war we've got to wage.
Evolution is a 'theory', just like gravity. If you don't like it, go jump off a bridge.
This is just not the case. Gravity is a Law, not a Theory. It accurately describes something, but does not explain "how" something works. Only that it does. Evolution, OTH, attempts to explain how a process works. Very little if any progress has been made towards this end WRT Gravity.
A quick Google search for "difference between a Theory and a Law" should provide an explanation of the differences. It was not too long ago that this distiction was pointed out to me, while making the same assertion you have. This page explains it better.

1. It is not illegal to obtain a monopoly in a particular market. However, it is illegal to use that monopoly to crush competition and move into other markets.
Oh man. Jennifer Love Hewitt is in big trouble.
