Perhaps if you took the time to read all 42 words of my posting before firing off a reply, Anonymous Coward, you'd see that my speculation is that the EU is making MS, one of the largest US corporations, pay for the crimes committed in Iraq by the US. It follows logically that, since DeBeers is not a US company, the EU has no such incentive to make them pay. The implication is that the EU wants to send a strong message to the US essentially saying "You want to ignore us when we tell you not to invade Iraq? Well, try ignoring the USD3.2 billion we're taking out of your already floundering economy." IMHO, of course.
(In case you have the same trouble reading far enough into a news story as you did my 42-word post: Iraq is a country in the Middle East which, in addition to having the world's second-largest oil fields, was so shamefully invaded under orders of a man - a lrage part of whose fortune is attributed to oil - under the pretense of finding weapons of mass destruction, I mean ousting Saddam Hussein, I mean liberating the Iraqis, I mean creating a democracy, I mean...)
Well, DeBeers isn't an American corporation. I'm sure if Cheney, err, Bush, would have backed off on Iraq, the EU would have backed off a bit on MS (though I doubt they would have bent over for MS like the US did).
Dubya is perfect for the office. He's there to be the smile and wave that hides the really evil shit Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld, Perle, Wolfowitz, et al. are doing. His shit-eatin', down-home, good-natured, goofball smile and general air of cheerful ineptitude plays well with 'just folks', which is why he *almost* won the 2000 election.
I don't have cases to cite, but US contract law (and common sense, when you think about it) says that contracts that violate state or federal statutes are partially or fully unenforceable. I would guess Denmark has similar restrictions. See here (No Violation of Public Policy) for more details.
How else do you think Debian was hacked with a mere local access exploit?
Well, Debra had a fight with Ian and took it out on the Debian server.

IMO this is by design: 2000 set a precident that in the USA elections could be rigged, and now they are just following that logic. Its all downhill from here.
America has a long history of fixing elections. It's as American as apple pie and conquest by force.
I'll start to see spam decrease in some of my other inboxes. No matter how much anti spam software you have, it still creeps in. Hopefully, with the outcome of this court battle, spam will start to die. DIE SPAM, DIE!

So you're saying Norwegians never think about Swedes at all?
Maybe you want to pass -pipe to gcc?

So you're saying you work with George Bush and sit across from John Ashcroft (who swears it's only research)?
You must be confusing GWB with someone who was actually in the military.

Not in America. The punishment for that kind of crime is more stock options, bonus pay and the eternal friendship of the Republican party.

"Misspelling" is misspelled, Miss Spelling.
Maybe an even better idea is Pyro?
Right. That's because experts are neither arrogant nor self-important, and they're always fully-educated and correct. Just like you.
