Microsoft Flouting DOJ Settlement?
An anonymous reader writes "According to the Washington Post, Microsoft is not adhering to the terms of its deal with the DOJ. Specifically, there are allegations that it is "trying to license key pieces of its technology at inflated rates" and "thwarting its antitrust settlement with the federal government". They're charging $100,000 just to see technical info about their communication protocols, and you only get $50,000 back if you decide you don't want to license them. Whoda thunk?"
We have seen this before. The only way this is ever going to change is if we shut Microsoft down. Go help a Open Source project anything else is just noise.
Why clone Unix when I can clone Windows instead. http://www.reactos.org
Martha Stewart is a fervent supporter of the Clintons. Maybe she just wants to profit from insider deals because she couldn't get a backdated cattle futures contract like her hero Hillary did, nor was she able to shake down Buddhist monks fronting for Indonesian businessmen like her other hero Slick did.
Someone should park a van full of fertilizer and diesel fuel right out side their hq, seriously.
The US electorate does not trust the Democratic Party when they perceive a true threat to the United States. And with good cause, IMO. See Jimmy Carter in the Iranian hostage situation. See Bill Clinton launch a few cruise missiles at $20 tents to hit a camel in the ass in response to a series of coordinated terrorist attacks. See also Bill Clinton turn down an offer from the Sudan of Osama Bin Laden "We're sick of this asshole, do you want him?" "Umm, lemme zip up my fly first. Naah."
So you Bush-haters can now reap what you have sown:
2002 - massive losses for the out-of-party power in the Senate and House. First time in a long time - if ever - that has happened. BWWAAA-HAAAH.
2004 - W gets reelected to a 2nd term. BWWAAAH HAAAH.
2008 - A Repulican dog beats Hillary! for the Presidency because two thirds of the American electorate simply hates Hillary! and will vote against her. BWAAAH-HAA!
"into, bush lied about why he took us to war and killed tens of thousands of people."
No, he didn't lie at all. His retaliation against Saddam's aggression has saved thousands of lives:
the 3,000 killed during the bombing because Saddam used them as human shields are more than exceeded by the 10,000 likely to be killed by Saddam during the remainder of this year alone: people who will live another year.....
Clinton did not only lie to try and rig the sexual harassment case, he lied just about every time he opened his mouth about any subject.
Nobody who died from Iraq didn't deserve it. They kill themselves for martyrdom and stand in front of military targets to increase the power of their best weapon, propaganda.
It's good to see you're a staunch Hussein supporter though, right on!
Kinda like the Democrats who seem to think that winning California, New York, Pennsylvania + 4 or 5 other states means that their candidate should be president.
That's what the Electoral College was created to -prevent-: the ability of a small number of large states to, in effect, control the federal government.

DO you know how to read? Do you speak english? Here is a quote from his post.
"I say fuck that, and fuck those people. I say nuke them and make a nice big parking lot."
"Truth is truth, regardless."
Yes but you don't seem too familiar with the concept.
"Besides, Hitler was never anonymous."
Which just means he was more brave then you. You are both nazis it's just that he was not afraid to say so.
