EU Officials Raid Intel Offices

Posted by Zonk on from the serious-chips dept.

Eukariote writes "As part of the ongoing antitrust investigations, EU officials have raided Intel offices as well as offices of a number of IT firms manufacturing or selling computers. This follows the recent ruling by Japan's Fair Trade Commission declaring Intel's exclusionary practices illegal as well as the lawsuit filed by AMD."

    "Nothing for you to see here. Please move along." more appropriate...

      Lol!

      1. A troll posts a FP.
      2. The mods correctly mod him troll
      3. An AC insinuates ("Hear that "whooshing" sound? Thats the joke going right over your head...") the mods were stupid and missed a joke.
      4. The mods still don't get the "joke" but they don't want people to think that they are so stupid as to not get the joke, so they mod the first troll up.

      Ahh slashdot... *grins and shakes head*

      Well...lets think this through.

      Whoever changed the moderation to "Insightful" probably didn't do it because an AC suggested that a different moderator missed a joke. That's just not the sort of thing one does when one feels like someone else may have missed a joke.

      Judging by the poster's rating history, he is not a known troll.

      So how do we unravel the mystery?

      Hmmm, what sort of thing do law-enforcement officials like to say when they are doing something that might draw a crowd.... ...like...I dunno....raiding an office building for example....

      Might they say something to the effect of "Nothing to see here...please move along...?"

      Just a thought. I may be way off base here. But it does seem likely.

      Oh, absolutely... because all Slashdot users suddenly think alike whenever they get mod points, and those with mod points can moderate the same post twice.

      ...you shithead.

    "On one hand, I have to admire a company willing to implement espionage and sabotage to competitors."

    Just out of curiousity, may i ask why?

    Under the guise of fighting terrorism the United States' FBI, CIA, DHS, and representitives from NAMBLA have already raided the offices of Intel and others. Ofcourse their findings were kept secret. Truth be told the entire account was done secretly, no court orders, no records, no backing by the constitution. In fact I shouldn't even be talking about this....

    Forget I said anything.
