[in re Microsoft anti-trust suit]
What anti-trust suit? It was only a lawyer parade where the outcome was
pre-determined and was only to give the illusion that something was
being done to break up unfair Monopolies. I fell for it until the later
part of the show. A lot of people became rich and nothing changed for
the better.

Welcome to modern (or even not-so-modern) legal systems.
I recall having a conversation with a (at the time newly-made)
german friend telling me about his brother's divorce in
Germany. He said that the lawyers got involved, and split
up their holdings between them, leaving the divorced ex-
couple with little left. I explained to him that it is the
same in the USA, and, I expect, throughout western culture.
For all I know, it's the same in other cultures.
Here in the USA, there is even a genre of joke called the
"lawyer joke". They are posed as question and answer. Like
Q: How does one get a lawyer out of a tree?
A: Cut the rope.
But we stray from Fedora matters.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
