Microsoft To Appeal EU Decision

An anonymous reader writes "News.com has an article on Microsoft's upcoming appeal of the EU antitrust decision. Their argument is essentially that they shouldn't be penalized for becoming successful in a marketplace." From the article: "Microsoft relies on the fact that its communication protocols are technologically innovative and are covered by intellectual-property rights ... [the company] had designed its Windows server operating systems from the outset to interoperate with non-Microsoft server operating systems"

I am not trying to be funny, I need some serious advice. I ate some gargantuan cloves of roasted elephant garlic this evening and now I am blowing these heinous farts that smell worse than if you drilled a vent pipe into the deepest, foulest, most disgusting, sulpher-choked pits of hell and stuck your face into it, and they're coming in rapid succession. Seriously, my place smells like a fucking open grave. What if I have to be around people tomorrow? WTF am I going to do? They're so bad even my dog won't sit in the same room with me anymore. They're the kind that come out like an evil, hot breath from deep in the colon. Is there any remedy for this? If this keeps up I'm going to have to file a fucking environmental impact statement with the EPA.
