Okay, this obviously isn't GNU/Linux related, but it's a story to make the
heart go pitter-patter.
Here's the nutshell version: College student buys XP at an academic
discount, realizes he has to reformat his hard drive to install it, so he
decides to sell it -- unopened -- on eBay. Microsoft sues the student for
"irreparable damage" and demands $143.50.
Much to the evil empire's surprise, they don't know they've sued a
biochemistry student who (a) has a brain, (b) can read English and (c)
doesn't like being pushed around. Read the story to find out details and the
ending.
