andrewduckerAccording to a recent Slashdot story, the Peruvian government is passing legislation requiring a certain level of openness for software it buys. When MS complained to a congressman over there, he sent back a long, detailed letter pointing out the immense nonsense they were speaking.
This provoked someone to ask how they could get a congressman as cool as him, to which someone replied:
Masked Man #1: Good morning, Congressman.
Dr. Nunez: Eh? Donde estoy? Quien es?
Masked Man #1: Oh, Dammit. Does anyone here speak spanish?
Masked Man #2: Give him a moment for the sedative to wear off.
Dr. Nunez: Americans. You are here from the CIA, no doubt? This is a coup, heh? You people are amateurs, you know? I've seen -
Masked Man #1: No, no, mr. congressman. We're with the US special congressional appropriation mission, and we'd like to swear you in as soon as possible.
Dr. Nunez: Swear me where?
Masked Man #2: Into the US congress. We're terribly short of capable legislators, so we've been apropriateing people from y'know, other counties. Where is Peru, anyway?
Masked Man #1: East Africa, I think. Next to Georgia.
Dr. Nunez: You sound like CIA to me.
Masked Man #2: No, no. We're sorry to rush you like this, usually we give the new members a few days to recover from the tranq. dart, but you're chairing the house armed services committee, and we need you to get on the job quick before they appropriate any more money for missile defense.
Masked Man #1: The people of the state of arizona are lucky to have you, sir.

Funny how it seems that M$ prefers to prey on ignorance to make their case. 9_9

b) I hope he's ready to see how obnoxious MS can be when they don't like you. I wager next time he's up for election, he'll get a taste of an oponent with MS campaign money and backing in the form of adverts and other mind games. He's just painted a biiiiiiig red target square in the middle of his chest.
