Oh lawdy lawd, the prices, they just keep falling. We gotta do something quick to protect our phoney balony jobs here. Yeah, Like a value added tax. Yeah, that's the ticket. We'll just jack those prices right back up there. And as for software, it's mIcKeY$oFt uber-alles. You Americans just don't recognize a real treasure like us silly English bed-wetting types do.
This article is Looneytunearian drivel about "free" markets. Well, from my perspective, the commercial software market is anything but free. I don't see how the writer arrives at the conclusion that Microsoft's business practices constitute free market capitalism; they are based on fraud and deceit. I bet some Microsoft stooge wrote this crap.
Back in aughty-aught, when through hole parts were more commonly used, the "zero-ohm" resistor came about as an inexpensive way to install jumpers with automatic insertion equipment. They had a single black band on them. I was told the story of some old salters pulling a young tech's leg, telling him this zero ohm resistor had a 5% tolerance, haw haw.
Bassai Dai!
It's the only thing they make that's any good

Office is M$'s only product that's worth a tinker's damn but I don't care whether they port it or not.
I have no problem with fines. That is a appropriate punishment. But making this a felony is going too far. This is how the prisons get filled up and why violent criminals get released. We arbitrarily declare certain behaviours to be felonious, then we have a situation where a large proportion of the prison population is in there for piddly crap. It's like we're just concatenating this list of of things you can do to get sent to prison for 5 years. Soon we might as well say it 5 years for every offense. See, this is all the politicians know how to do. Whatever happened to making the punishment fit the crime? Why not make first offense spammers go support the network of a big university to "pay" their fine? If they spam again, then send them to jail.
Th' Mickey$oft feebs have it bass-ackerds. ADDING Intercourse Exploiter makes Winders 7 times slower. I've seen several IE crashes goof up the Active Desktop too. Sic 'em Janet!

As you write this, the over-the-hill threshold has dropped into the upper 30's.

I bet most of the SPAM I get now may be due to AhOLe sniffing out TO:/From: addresses of members corresponding with the outside ... farging bastages.

That ain't all. Nixon was the one who took us off the gold standard too.
Amen. The downward spiral started the day AhOLe opened the spam gates. They proceeded to trample the net under their cloven hoves.
