Sun and Microsoft Make Nice

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the more-expensive-then-a-kiss-and-make-up dept.

DrLudicrous writes "Sun Microsystems and Microsoft have reached some kind of settlement (NYTimes, registration required) with regards to patent issues and Sun's antitrust suit against Microsoft. Microsoft is apparently going to pay Sun about 1.6 billion US dollars, join into a ten-year pact of cooperation, and resolve a set of patent disputes. This has been in the works for about a year, starting as a series of phone calls between Scott McNealy and Steve Ballmer. You can also catch the story here." update oh well, it's a duplicate. Nothing else interesting happening today :)

    I laughed when old geezers pretended being horny teenage girls on MSN and web chats.

    I laughed when teenage girls pretended to be old geezers on Slashdot.

    But now that they're making teenage girls out of old geezers, I'm not laughing anymore...

    the little mutant faggot also known as esr, who types up dictionaries for the internet because his degenerate physique is repulsive to the man on the street (and women in general), likes to suck a cock. doctors say this is attributable to his own tiny penis being bent and misshapen, like the rest of his body.

    frequently on the soapbox to appear not unlike a dog-turd except higher off the pavement, raymond writes about how much he knows about what his able-bodied and vagina experienced superiors do.
