I am respectable sir.
Uh, respectable is as respectable does. I'd say your the master of cheesy debate techniques, but I got an axe to grind there, of course. "You want precedent? U.S. vs. Microsoft. The DOJ, the top cops in the land, have investigated Microsoft and found them not a monopoly."
There's a precedent worth looking up.
This thread used to be full of people who pretended to know about things that they knew very little about.
But now there's just Reggie and the new wave John Galt crowd. Reggie knows the law, software, political theory, economics, what they teach in B-school (lest we forget the necessity of the proprietary lock), all manner of computer technology, whatever. It's easy to know all that stuff when it all reduces down to two words. Microsoft Rules!
Me, I will politely, after a fashion, repeat a question in the area you are allegedly schooled in. If the Microsofties could stage an employee buyout with $30billion in options, why don't they do it with the current $90 billion? Why doesn't Bill do it by himself with his $46billion holdings? Enquiring minds want to know!
Cheers, Dan. |
