Microsoft Employee Allegedly Hacked AltaVista
An anonymous reader writes "Seattle PI has a story about Microsoft employee who worked on the MSN Search initiative having allegedly broken into AltaVista computers and stolen prorietary technology. However, the illegal break-in happened before he was hired by Microsoft. The question is, did Microsoft know anything about it? How much code was being written into MSN Search?"
Yeah, but when IE gets tabs it won't be that really shitty implementation that Mozilla, Opera or Firefox have. Microsoft does TDI very well, as evident in Visual Studio, MSDN and several other products. For example, both of those products fully support tearing a tab to make it a free-floating window, which means you can decide whenever you want to move a browser window to another monitor. Try that in Firefox.
Just shut up. It's a broken record with your type.
Quit your bullshit lying about Cutler stealing VMS - he wrote the fucking thing you stupid ass.
And similarly, you're just full of shit about Intel 'stealing' alpha technology to build the P4. For one thing, dipshit, Intel owns the Alpha. For another, libel is a crime asshole.
It'd be pretty funny if they decided to sue you. Funny thing is it doesn't matter if they win - they could put you in the poor house where you belong even if they didn't win.
Pity large corporations don't read these groups and decide to mess with assholes like you.
While dumpster-diving for source code might be legitimately considered "standing on the shoulders" (or dumpsters) of others, I find it hard to see how Einstein - who did original work BASED on the previous efforts of others - can be compared with Gates nearly fraudulent purchase of QDOS.
Only a Microsoft troll could accept this comparison.
In other words, you're a fucking moron.
