Microsoft Settlement Compliance Criticized

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the definition-of-sharing-slightly-skewed dept.

Jeremy Allison - Samba Team writes "A report on the Microsoft "release" of communication protocols, as required by the proposed settlement. Article from the Washington Post. Speaking for the Samba Team, we can't look at these documents as they require signing an NDA before even getting the terms of release. Jeremy Allison, Samba Team."

    Ok, time to lose some karma.

    Most of the bull-shit I see about Iraq is coming out or GWB's mouth. The inspectors weren't kicked out, they were pulled out by the UN because the US and the UK were about to start dropping bombs. Would you have stayed?

    The US has consistently blocked any meaningful treaty on the prohibition of chemical and biological weapons. Any proposal that would allow non-US countries to inspect US facilities has been rejected.

    As for nuclear weapons, its need well known that Israel has been developing nuclear weapons for some time. Of course, they don't get the diplomatic equivalent of a cease and desist order from the US, they get diplomatic (and financial) backing.

    I don't agree with sadam, but I don't agree with the US either.

    Read these before you flame me.

    "The american government is quick to drop bombs on other countries..."

    Since you raised that issue, here is a link to a draft of a book I wrote about the subject:

    Yes. Kind of like "Bombing Al Qaeda Back To The Stone Age(tm)".

    When we're done, those people will be living in caves!

    Uh, what do you mean, "they are *already* living in caves"?
