Doing the Math in the Microsoft Anti-Trust Cases
coupland writes "Bob Cringely has posted this week's column and has made some interesting comments. He says that regardless of what happens in the EU, DOJ, and class-action proceedings, Microsoft can't lose. Why? Because they make more money by paying lip-service to the law and accepting the occasional fine than by complying. He even does some simple math to prove his point. Fascinating stuff."
Enron's Skilling and Lay? ...
What?! Ken Lay et al. get a free pass as long as Bush is in office. It's the same with Microsoft, whom they just adore!
I *hope* the next President is a little smarter than GW!
For future reference, it's empirical. If you're going to flame me at least learn how to spell your high' fallutin' words correctly.
On to your "point". Let me know when you can go from your stupid generalization to forming an opinion of someone who writes a very public blog - based on the contents of said blog.
Oh, and I also copied this to ainsoph@aol.com, in case you miss it.
Here is an opinion: Who cares about yours?
Which is exactly my point. You may not like Cringley's writing or whatever, but someone must, because he makes a living by people reading his shit.
Now since you *don't* enjoy it, why read it? Better yet, why spout off in a public forum, some opinionated spittle you concoct about it? Why not just ignore it, and keep your opinions to yourself and move on?
Even better yet, please ignore me, as I am also spouting said drivel.
