Will it do any good... by Beast+in+Black · 2004-07-20 04:28 · Score: 3, Interesting · on Microsoft Expands Access to Windows Source Code

While at first glance this may seem like a good thing (at least for MS), i'm left wondering whether it will actually do any good...the MVPs who gain this access seem to be part of a rather closed community, being voted to their status by a bunch of people from other peer microsoft communities/groups.

Take a look at the MVP FAQ: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid =fh;EN-US;mvpfaqs

Although some might say that sharing the code out, even among a closed community, might conceivably lead to improvements, from MS's track record with their multifarious products (some of which had oodles of people involved), there is no palpable confidence (at least in my mind) that it will get any better.

And in any case, even though microsoft shares the code out to the MVPs, there is nothing in the article that states that the MVPs will be allowed to modify the code...rather, the article explicitly states that they will "help" the developers. So even if some sagacious MVP does somehow manage to make a tiny improvement (unlikely, i know, but let's just suppose it for the sake of argument), wanna bet that he'd probably have to move heaven and earth to get someone who counts at MS to recognize this?

Also, as someon posted earlier, there is a good chance of the code getting leaked, even if MS uses the strongarm tactics that it is capable of to get the leaks plugged as fast as possible. What would happen then would be anyone's guess...

Anyway, here a link to the Windows 2000 source code http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/text/source.php. (if it's been already posted elsewhere on this site, beg pardon, i did indeed search, so my search skills are lacking...)

Here's a recent and very striking example of fitting data to preconceived notions: zepplin backwards (flash link).

As with all of these things, the trick is that you're shown the message while listening to it, and you tend to make it fit. It's even more convincing after a few listens -- it really sounds like, "There was a little toolshed where he made us suffer, sad Satan." Almost poetic.

So, rings? They have the scientific method backwards. If, say, a meterologist was looking through some satellite photos happened to notice some rings, that is one thing. But some dude looking for rings in satellite photos is totally different.

Oh wow, France contributed $77.6 million to the NATO budget in 1998 compared to $453 million by the U.S. Canada contributed more than France even though it has a population almost half its size, Germany contributed almost 4 times more than France even though its population is only about 30% larger, Italy contributed more. Heck, Bill Gates could have contributed more to NATO than France. I'm so glad the French are out there helping with the common defense. :)
