Here's today's Malloy digest.  Notice how he's ignored the evidence
for the fact that he likes to "hear" himself, as well as the
evidence for his reading comprehension problem.  Nor did he explain
why he's ignored Slava's question.

Malloy likes to hear himself.  The evidence:

   "I take it Tholen has attempted to digest me, but since no message
   to that effect appears on my newserver today, I present an oldie:"
      --Joe Malloy

Maybe it's because he has trouble seeing.  The evidence:

   "Where does he say anything about clergy, Tholen?"
      --Joe Malloy

   "It follows from your pontificating actions and the discussion
   of the clergy..."

You weren't seriously expecting a response from Malloy, were you?  He
can't argue that he doesn't know about your question, given that I
referred to it in a posting to which he responded.

By the way, Malloy's postings would be hypocritical only if he had
stated that he always posts items containing some value.  The word
you should have used is "ironically".

That has been interpreted as $10 million for every day a company fails 
to come into compliance with the law.  Of course, Microsoft makes more 
than $10 million in profits every day, so they could just pay the fines 
and keep violating the law until Congress decided to increase the fine.

They are not that far away from year-2000 dollars.  The fines have been 
increased over the years.

They have 100% market share in the relevant market.  Markets can be 
geographically constrained.  See Jefferson Parish Hospital v. Hyde.

Can people sell batteries in that government-granted market territory?  
Can people sell a gas-powered generator?  If so, they people are selling 
power... even the same type of power (electrical).

Maybe you think that's an incredibly obtuse argument, but it isn't any 
worse than the argument I've seen that Microsoft doesn't have a monopoly 
because it's such a small part of the overall software industry.

Also, you can compete for direct delivery of AC electrical power insofar 
as you convince the local government that you can provide power more 
efficiently and get them to grant the monopoly to you instead of the 
other guy.

"Unreasonable searches and seizures".  What is "unreasonable"?  That's 
just as vague as determining what constitutes an illegal restraint of 
trade under the antitrust statues.

"Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor 
cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."  What is "excessive"?  Is the 
death penalty "cruel" punishment?

The only thing that's crystal clear is that it isn't crystal clear.

Then why do the conservatives think they need an amendment for flag 
burning and another one for abortion?

> Disturbing.

What's disturbing is how close the flag burning amendment is to actually 
becoming law.  Just a couple more votes in the Senate and flag burning 
will become illegal (49 of the 50 states have specifically asked 
Congress to pass the amendment, so it's a shoo-in for ratification by 
the states).

Maximum over which timeframe? One fiscal year? Two years? Ten? Thirty? Fifty?
Usually "people" don't like greedy "people", so if you ask too much, next time
they'll go to someone less greedy and in the long-term the profit is lower.
*IF* they have a choice that is, which they don't have much of in the context

You're late :-)
It has been done already as a public demonstration last Summer during
an Estonian project called Tiigrituur.  It was called Ku"lmGAP (the u
is umlauted) as a pun for `ku"lmkapp' which means `refrigerator'.  Sorry,
I can't find any English documentation at the moment.  It was an ordinary
486-based PC except it had a touch-sensitive screen as the main terminal
device, mounted inside the door.

And, interestingly enough, they used Linux as the OS.

Here's today's Tholen digest.  Notice how he's ignored the evidence for the
fact that he likes to "hear" himself, as well as the evidence for his
reading comprehension problem.  Nor did he explain why he's reiterated
Slava's question -- guess he's running out of his own limited supply.  To
the digest!

[Nope, Tholen has yet to say anything new.]

Thanks for reading!
