Not only should people send a C&D letter, but can't they also take scox to at least small court?
Not that I know smack about law or anything
Most people take the word of the "learned judge" as holy writ. In fact, a lot of judges don't know a lot about the law. This is especially true in most small claims courts. Small claims court is usually presided over by a judge who is used to hearing criminal misdemeanors, speeding tickets, and the like. In small claims court, they're usually hearing from people suing their landlords to get their wrongfully withheld security deposit back. It's disconcerting to watch their eyes glaze over when confronted with anything even slightly more complex - like even spam. So no, a complex copyright case would not be appropriate for small claims court.
That I will be more than happy to see crash and burn. Not unlike/.'s parent company, VA Linux Systems^W^WSoftware, it's once-grossly overhyped worthless piece-of-shit stock flirting with delisting. ESR was "theoretically wealthy" on this crap at one point. Hey Eric, how's your stock doing?
I don't mean this to sound cruel, but with all the leniency employers give parents, and all the tax breaks parents get, the question is why don't you have kids?!:-)
Let's face it - why do most people have kids? Not because they want to. Often it's an accident, idiot women with "baby lust" or their "biological clock," or to stop the incessant "I want grandkids" caterwauling from the inlaws. I would submit that relatively few people have children because they truly want to.
Parents think that whatever their little fuckpuppy monsters do is cute. When Cody or Tanner or Cheyenne or Dakota or Tyler or Wyoming or insert-yuppie-childname-here screams bloody murder and throw drink glasses in a restaurant, it's not cute, it's fucking obnoxious! "Oh, I don't know why my kids won't listen." Well, keep your FUCKING LEGS TOGETHER NEXT TIME, BREEDER BITCH!
Besides, with what real wages have done over the last 20 years, who can afford kids anymore?
Marc Andresseen is a one-trick pony. He got lucky with Netscape, then very stupidly decided to go toe-to-toe with Lord Bill. Sure, LoudCloud was a star during the dot-com era. Now that reality has set in, delisting/shareholder lawsuits/bankruptcy loom big on the horizon. This is his last gasp - "hire me and I'll 'reinvent' your IT department!"
Marc, may I suggest getting a job? I hear McDonalds is hiring. "Would you like fries with that, Mr. Gates?"
