Microsoft Sued for Defective Software
Door-opening Fascist writes "eWeek is reporting that a South Korean citizen action group, People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy, is suing Microsoft for putting the SQL Slammer vulnerability into Windows. They are doing so on behalf of the South Korean people and businesses affected by SQL Slammer."
fuck them!
The spacifics of why they are being sued is unimportant. They are an evil large american corperation and any suite brought against them is a good one. Down with coperate america. and for a certain AC I was talking to last night...I am NOT calling for the violent overthrough of the bush administrating. Unfortunatly that would be ilegal and so I will not support violence.

serves them[Microsoft] right!
No - the GPL supporters & developers just makes ad hominem attacks against companies that make software that when used under NORMAL conditions and under NORMAL environments are perfectly secure, except when mentally-maladjusted "hackers" want to try to cause trouble and make lame attempts at proving their programming prowess to make-up for the fact that they can't find a woman who will put-up with their poor hygene, a female anime/hentai fixation and lack of any social skills.
Show me ANY Network Administrator or IT Director that actually has time in their life to review ALL of the source-code for any GPL'ed software to ensure that it is defect-free and I'll show you a person who is a perfect fit for all of the previously described deficiencies.

I don't give a rat's behind about "karma" here or anywhere else. Don't like what I have to say here? Deal with it!
Umm.. Microsoft didn't launch the attack, the dude who write the Slammer exploit did. Sue the criminal for causing the damage, not the device he used. Might as well sue gun manufacturers for not making guns human friendly.

Geez, Microsloth makes nothing BUT defective, bug-ridden, security-holed software ... everyone on the planet who is forced to use their garbage software should sue them. :-)
nice flamebait.
if I had any misunderstandings of the law in as far as the election process, I wouldn't have mentioned that Bush legally won.
however, legally winning and winning fairly are two seperate things. especially when the government claims to be a democracy, yet is not constitutionally required to even have a popular election, much less abid by it.
