Ask a Legal Expert How MS Ruling Affects Open Source
By now we all know about Judge Kollar-Kotelly's decision in the Microsoft antitrust case. The effect of this ruling on Linux and Open Source use and future development is not yet clear. For those of you who have been wondering about this, we have a special interview guest: Attorney Lawrence E. (Larry) Rosen, Linux Journal's popular Geek Law columnist, who is surely one of the best-qualified people in the world to answer questions on this topic. (Usual Slashdot interview rules apply.)
or are you some kind of johnny cochrane wannabe trying to make a name for yourself here.
please, inquiring minds want to know.
Sure, if I ever feel to find out whether MS is evil I'm going to ask Gates' lawyers straight.
You guys are so pathetic sometimes. You hire yours to persuade yourselves about non-MS' superiority.
I've had it. This corporate invasion of our country has to stop. There are no laws that can curb this corruption of our legal system. We have seen time and again how large corporations are buying our three branches of government. Our non-violent protests everywhere have been fruitless. In some cases, our attempts at hacking their illegally backed technologies have only backfired giving them more ammuntion to attack our rights. Every attempt anyone has made so far hasn't made any real difference in what the fate of our country will be.
It is about time someone showed these bastards who keeps them alive. We have the power to completely topple a corporate empire. We can derupt their cash flow by assassinating their financial department. We can also assassinate their executives to thwart any real reconstruction efforts. The workers and developers can be brought off by other companies leaving Microsoft as an empty shell.
First, it is imparative that we know the locations of the executives. We have to assassinate every one of them swiftly in one stroke. We have to send a mole into their offices and send explosives into their meetings. We should send a small team of assassins to clean up the remaining survivors after the initial salvo of explosive death. There should be no executives, financial experts, lawyers, and top level developers remaining after the first salvo. Those who are outside the Redmond complex will be hunted down and killed as soon as we can find them.
The reconstruction of Microsoft would require a lot of money. We should destroy as much as their capital as possible. After evacuating their complexes of their employees, we should steal and destroy every important piece of important electronic equiptment. We should back up and then erase their data so that we can use it to blackmail if it comes to that. After gutting their main and subsidary offices, we should launch a radiological weapon on their Redmond Campus.
Their reconstruction should be hampered by every way possible. Anyone who tries to lead a reconstruction will be shot on site. The law enforcement will also be assassinated if they interfere with any part of our operation. The legislators who we suspect of helping the corporations will also be assassinated. Judges and jurors who rule in favor of Microsoft will also die.
We must make a clear example here with Microsoft that the corporate encroachment into our rights must stop. By destroying a major corporation, we will show them that it is possible to destroy them. By assassinating the executives, others will realize the personal risks in being involved in large corporate infrastructures. There should be genuine fear in the reprocussions of abusing us for so long. We will attack with full force and take back our country.
Are we just going to get anally raped? Or are we going to have to lick the shit off Bill's cock when he's done?
Also, whats up with Slashdot? Its running slower than connecting to imap-uw 4.44 server using a c-client when Kerberos isn't set up.
"Horrible, those damn bastards might install patches to keep worms from spreading like Code Red and Nimda, because people who pirate their software typically aren't smart enough to secure it. Those bastards!"
On the other hand they might read your dard drive, extract your outlook email list and send it to MS so that the list could be used for spam. Or maybe they might disable all non MS products on your hard drive or they might change all your preferences to use MS products as default.
Why not? you gave them that right when you clicked OK. Would they abuse that right? Of course they would they are evil people who have done worse.
War is necrophilia.
