this festering infection isn't, alas, unique to north america, as
witness the equally ridiculous german adobe nonsense involving
killustrator which, it appears, will be settled with no one injured
and only about 10 orders of magnitude more work and fuss than there
would have been had adobe merely approached the kde folk and stated
their objections.
but the u.s. situation is quite bad enough on its own, and without
vast tort reform -- including, perhaps, the public execution of a
plaintiff's lawyer chosen at random daily -- it will get worse. these
parasitic arthropods are fully capable of collapsing the economy, and
they see no reason not to do so if there's a nickel in it for them.
(though from the looks of it -- the thread common to the linux-based
investor lawsuits -- there are some people over at bear sterns who
could profit from a good beating and maybe having their cocaine,
cigars, and single-malt scotch taken away for a month or so.)
