Japanese Government Raids Microsoft Offices
Nakito writes "According to an article at the financial news site Bloomberg, Microsoft's Tokyo office was raided by Japan's Fair Trade Commission, which is investigating whether the world's largest software maker violated the country's anti-monopoly law." Other readers note a AP/Yahoo story claiming: "A commission official, speaking on customary condition of anonymity, said Microsoft Japan is suspected of attaching improper restrictive conditions when signing software deals with Japanese personal computer manufacturers, such as requiring that Japanese companies allow infringement of their patents."

FACT!
(Sorry, I had to). ;)
Maybe the Japanese can get away with this awful corporate indignity because they didn't "elect" Bush to head their country. If we say our prayers and vote with our brains in November, we might begin to approach the level of corporate accountability of Japan, Inc, and Junior will be free to follow his outsourced job to friendlier shores.

Every encounter I've seen or heard of with the BSA has seemed more X-Filesish than like an inquiry by a buisness orginzation.
Wait wait wait. Are we talking about the same Boy Scouts of America?
X-Filesish?
I had but a simple dream, to destroy all humans.
think about your cable carrier -- chances are, there's only one in your area, and if you want cable you don't get a choice
Oh, you have a choice. You can MOVE TO GET AWAY FROM THE FUCKERS like I'm doing in 4 days. So basically PCPARTNER SUCKS. That's all I'm saying I guess. I keep forgetting to flame them on broadband reports.
For every annoying gentoo user, are three even more annoying anti-gentoo crybabies. Take Yosh from #Gimp for example.
...and a good deal of it is not aimed at children. If you get a chance (I know you're a busy troll), check out the Ghost in the Shell: Innocence trailer. Poorly drawn and animated, my ass.
Goddamn the mods tonight are stupid. He even said "Microsoft" right in his post. How the fuck is that OT when the article is ABOUT Microsoft? Does someone cart you mods in from the loonie bin or what? Jesus.
