The best double feature ever is to rent THE CONVERSATION followed by ENEMY OF THE STATE... Hackman is awesome in both in an interesting comparison of the technology 20 years apart. Bottom fished myself on a bunch of HLIT leaps a week ago... paying off well today. Still seething at The STREET.SCUM for trying to destroy a truly great little company SCLN which is my biggest holding by far...they are really short coniving bastards... please don't visit that website. chris

The point I was trying to make was that the US has already started commercialising government. If that is the case then the fight with MSFT and the DOJ just means it is a war of 2 enterprises trying to control who has the power. if it was really a government of the people and by the people, Profit would not even enter the picture. Since currency is already the stock of the country, I wonder which one will be more valuable in 10 years :> the US$ or MSFT. Or maybe the geek err meek shall inheret the earth.
