West Virginia Joins Massachusetts in MS Appeal Bid
diwolf writes "West Virginia is seeking to join Massachusetts in appealing a U.S. District Court decision that rejected a tough antitrust remedy sought by nine states in the Microsoft Corp. antitrust case. This is also being reported at CNN and ZDNet."
The distingushed people of Mass. with the slack-jawed yokles of W.Va. deciding to continue the lawsuit against M$. Indeed, the apocolypse is coming...
Karma whorin' since 1999
Its not so much balls as an interest in wasting millions of tax dollars. Please listen carefully, YOU CAN'T BEAT MICROSOFT IN A LAW SUIT. Its just stupid to try, after all, reistance is futile right? I hope the government of this state pays the price next election day for burning cash like this.
And I don't fucking care. This has got to stop. The anti-Microsoft propaganda and complete disregard for any kind of SOCIAL regularity is pissing me off. Get off your high motherfucking horses, stop wanking to fantasies of Bill Gates losing his 'control' over the 'computing regime' (to add a nice little romantic twist to the situation) and fucking get off your dead asses and do something productive.
If instead of wasting time reporting of Microsoft cases, Microsoft this, Microsoft that - you motherfuckers actually did something to HELP your oh so noble goals, perhaps your emotional masturbations wouldn't have to be kept inside your weirdo fantasy world.
Shut the fuck up, and stop with the Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. Because I, and I suspect most of the others who frequent this forum, are just about fucking tired of it.

Great! The Register, that bastion of great journalism has now resorted to plagiarizing material from Slashdot, that other bastion of great journalism without even attributing the material.
but you have to understand the psychology of the zealot. These people are, for the most part, freaks and social outcasts. They have no social self esteem and so their only source is by thinking they are smarter than the rest of the world. So they pick an issue:
in 1990 maybe windows was better than linux or unix or whatever, so lets feel smart by using this *nix operating system and making fun of the M$ windows users.
And that's fine, I mean, you might even be right, maybe your OS is better.
But then windows keeps getting better, oops, it dosn't crash any more, well, we kind of look like idiots now, we're using an inferior OS here, and on top of the fact that we're ugly and social outcasts that dosn't leave many sources of esteem. Oh, oh, i have an idea, we use linux because microsoft is evil and they are a monopoly, and we hate monopolys (even though most of us have never actually had and live in our parents basement and know nothing of economics). Ok, so we use linux because M$ is evil!! Ya, great, we are superior to you stupid normal people!
I've been reading slashdot for about 3 years and I find it sad how as Microsoft gets better and better, the arguments against it become more stupid and illogical. These poor freaks are desperatly trying to hang on to their only source of self esteem, that linux users are better, and if they can't do that from a technical point of view, they'll have to make it a moral one, and slashdot will become a forum for anti MS propaganda. Its sad, but they are sad, the poor zealots, linux is all they have and I feel very sorry for them.
P.S. It kills me that I have to post this anonymously, but I'm a little bit of a karma whore myself. Hey, if we don't have some non-zealots moderating this place will really go to hell right?
I'm a troll, so I don't care about those things.
Yes, I could argue the points of windows vs linux, but that has been done before. For every argument either way, you and I could list the logical fallacies that have been committed and oh what fun we would have. No, I don't really pity the zealots, I feel more of a hatred for them for polluting what could be an interesting forum. I'm wasn't really trying to argue a point with my post, I was just hoping that maybe some of the zealots would read it and realize exactly how bad life is for them, maybe they could seek some professional help or something and then there would be one less zealot in the world. I too took Philosophy 145 (intro to logic, at our school anyway), but often emotionally charged rants can be more effective that logic at persuading people.
I wish I hadnt clicked that link. Ugh. Dont click on it, please just mod down.
