    ... or is "Liberty Alliance" is an odd choice of words coming from the likes of McNealy?

    "You have zero privacy anyway," Scott McNealy told a group of reporters and analysts Monday night at an event to launch his company's new Jini technology.

    "Get over it."

    You thought Hailstorm was scary? Just wait until Scott McNealy (or is it McCarthy?) gets his hands on your data.

    So.. they're going to deploy this Hailstorm
    on Windows, and it's stable.. right?

    The way its going Gates will wipe his mouse
    one night and obliterate years of Hailstorm
    files.

    .. have a good laugh, and blow.
