Appeals Court OKs Microsoft Antitrust Settlement

mbstone writes "The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has upheld [pdf] the settlement reached between Microsoft and the U.S. Justice Department in the antitrust case filed in 1998, beating back a challenge by Massachusetts, the only state that didn't settle. Many critics, of course, believe that Attorney General John Ashcroft took a dive on the case which was originally filed by former Clinton Administration Attorney General Janet Reno."

    How does it not render the ./ page properly? I've been using Firefox forever and don't see too many pages anymore that look wrong in it.

    I have to ctrl+- each time to refresh the thing after loading the page. I'm having 0.8 under linux and 0.9 on my windows machine, same problem persists on both of them.
    That and it doesn't renders "windows 1251" charset properly.

    Try hitting cntrl-r a couple of times you will see what he means - Not sure if this is a firefox bug - I have seen mozilla too doing the same (overlapping 2 verticle columns).

    When I searchedd for "linux", I got no results found for "linux", then a couple minutes later, it returned some results, then when I clicked to goto the next page, it crapped out with this cryptic error message:

    Search Error

    It wouldn't be a "posted by Timothy" article if it didn't have an editorial (and offtopic) anti-Bush/US * rant.


    *No, I don't equate anti-Bush to equal anti-US... just ol' Timmy happens to do it a lot.

    Slashdot is far from valid markup. Check for yourself here. Quirks render mode isn't standard, hence why it's called quirks. To tell which render mode Mozilla is using, right click on the page and View Page Info.
