... So a quick google search says the average couple reports having sex 146 times a year. That's $146,000! And, if you're a complete pervert like me, that cost goes through the roof. I have to call my girlfriend and thank her for saving me from bankruptcy!

EU Regulators Open New Microsoft Investigations 64

from the same-thing-over-and-over dept.

The New York Times is reporting on two new investigations into Microsoft business practices opened by EU antitrust regulators. The new cases center on the company's positioning of Office and Internet Explorer, and were apparently partially prompted by Microsoft's earlier heel-dragging. "'It would have been preferable if these issues could have been resolved amicably with Microsoft,' said Jonathan Todd, a spokesman for the European competition commissioner, Neelie Kroes. 'But that has not proved to be the case. Therefore we have opened these formal investigations. That does not prove there is a violation. We will only be able to come to a conclusion after investigations.' The legal battle that ended last year involved the bundling of a media player with Windows and the availability of information required to make rival software operate smoothly with Microsoft products. In September, the Court of First Instance, Europe's highest after the European Court of Justice, endorsed the commission's 2004 decision to impose record fines on Microsoft."

Originally intended to recruit more women into CS programs, it has morphed into a PR campaign as well. They have the help of a PR class, but still looking for a sorority to sponsor...
