I was amused - and simultaneously horrified at Bill Gate's testimony
yesterday...something along the lines of: Either you let us off the
hook or we'll cripple the economy by refusing to sell any more copies
of Windows.

The exact quote was a *little* more subtle than that - but not by much.

These are the words of a man who truly believes he's above the law and
more powerful than the government or the courts...he might even be right.
