Brian,

Nelson said Intel chips have become an
''essential facility,'' a legal standard that, for instance, requires the owner of
the only bridge into a town to offer equal access to all traffic. If upheld,
Pentium chips would be treated like any public asset.


Did I wake up this morning to find out that I now live in the Soviet Union? This is beyond obscene. It's time to speak out loud and clear before these power hungry judges, politicians and bureaucrats destroy our economy and our freedoms.

Tobacco, MSFT, INTC, who's next and where will it stop? Scary!

Regards, JB

More irony. The govt. cracks down on Taiwan for making counterfeit Pentiums at the same time a crackpot judge calls them "public assets". I guess patents and property rights have become archaic terms subject to the arbitrary whims of the powers that be.
