Sendo Sues Microsoft : Comment 40 of 59 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Some Farker on 24-Dec-2002 18:36 GMT | In reply to Comment 30 (ehaines): Nope. I'll accept criticism from within, but not from without. Clean up your own back yard first, that's what I say.
Despite what you may think, arbitration helps quite a bit. Our country has become lawsuit happy because of our victim society mentality. Low men on the totem pole look up and figure if they screech and screech enough, they'll get the big bad old top guys to give them some money to shut up. It's well past time that ended. I'm not talking about legitimate suits - faulty manufacturing of critical auto components, suits over workplace saftey etc.
But ridiculous "Mcdonald's Coffee" lawsuits and the very idea that somehow large companies (e.g., Microsoft) should be made "more equal" are totally stupid.
I could point up flaw after flaw with other legal systems around the world, but y'know what? I don't live in Denmark, Togo, the Phillipines, Russia, New Zealand, Japan, Brazil, Canada, nor anywhere else. I can't effect a change there. The business of the citizens of those countries is just that: their business. Not mine.
I'd prefer it if Hermans et.al. spent their time writing the goddamn next generation Amiga operating system but apparently that's too much to ask, what with all their time being eaten up making biting legal analysis of the United States - not to mention their overall social commentary.
Have fun running Linux on your broken MAI boards, lads. It's all you're getting THIS year. ("THIS year" meaning the next twelve month period - didn't want to imply that either jack or shit were forthcoming from Hyperion).
Postscript: if anyone thinks I'm some kind of Morph OS fan, guess again. Bill Buck et.al. are as crooked as a dog's back leg and I wouldn't touch a Pegasos motherboard with a ten meter logic probe as they're totally inadequate in terms of expansions, do *NOT* run an Amiga OS, and ultimately look like a PcChips celeron motherboard I threw away some months ago... |
