Oooh, look, Microsoft did something! Lets all take advantage of the opportunity to poke fun. Perhaps we can get in a few jabs about how this could never happen with Linux, too.
Perhaps we can then take the time to congratualte ourselves on useing the internet before it was available to the masses of unintelligent morons that now crowd every aspect of it. Let's sneer at those who don't understand command line FTP. Let's look down our noses at those who don't know what an RFC is, but still have the gall to carry out any kind of activity on out precious internet.
Lets finally admit that our hatred of Microsoft isn't because of any moral open source or business argument it's that they played a huge part in making the internet available to millions and suddenly our bitch was being used by everyone and to make it ten times worse, they didnt care at all about the silly shit that we took pride in mastering.
I can say with mathematical certainty that the artists formerly known as Metallica do indeed suck. Nice makeup, stage costumes and defense of thier alt-rock garbage as "art".
How pompous, and what a reversal to what they used to be all about.

heh. ADD ME TOO!
Read the article. Little Larsypoo talks about how his music is being traded like a commodity rather than being respected as *cough* art.

They won't get appealled successfully CNN's legal analysts suggest rather differently, noting that the appeals courts have been much more sympathetic.
I'd hardly call $90 stalling. I'll bet there are one or two companies that would love to "stall" at that price.
