It's time to draw the line. But where?
'Anything not a direct lie or clearly illegal is O.K. to do if it advances Microsoft's tribal cause,' Mitchell Kapor says. 'This licenses the worst sort of manipulations, lies, tortured self-justification and so on.'
So Gleick wants to unleash the Justice Department to protect his ISP from Microsoft's competition. Can't cut it without Big Brother's help, eh? All I've got to say about this piece of commie trash is GM, ATT, IBM, USSR, CIA, & KGB. It took me all of 10 seconds to figure out how to delete the icons for the MSN and MS' Internet Browser from my WIN95 desktop. The help message that popped up when I did this also told me how I could delete the actual programs from my hard drive. (Hint James try clicking the *right* mouse button.)
