What would you think about a Senator who may have condoned or ignored blatant Copyright Law violations in his own state heading up the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Incidentely, can anyone explain to me how the Senate can be having hearings on a pending legal case without violating the Separation of Powers doctrine of the Constitution of the United States?!!??!

Anti-MS state using Windows without licence

D'oh and Re and silly old Mi

JOURNAL OF RECORD, the Salt Lake Tribune, is reporting that Utah, one of the few mini republics holding out against the Great Satan of Software (VOLE) on the anti-trust front, could find itself in trouble from Microsoft itself, especially if the feds roll in over the state borders..
A piece in the paper today said that the state's attorney general audited all the Utah state computers earlier this year and discovered that many of the PCs were apparently using Microsoft software illegally.

That is to say without a licence.

The state is now scrabbling around like there's no tomorrow to try and discover if it can find the dosh to divvy up before Microsoft sends in the feds.

You can find the story here.

If Ray Noordah was dead, he'd be spinning in his grave. µ
