I think the smartest and coolest thing would be if Bill Gates announced, one
week before the presidential election, that unless the case against MS is
dropped withing 20 days, he would be selling - no, make that giving away (to
the flat earth society) - all his stocks in every company that he owns, and
that microsoft would be disolving, that all microsoft buildings would be
converted to storage bins, and that all cash assets he has, except for a few
million living expense, would be dumped into the ocean.
