      In all honesty, so do many if not most of the people who've used it from inception and an entire book has been written about it collecting the stories of the Usenet newsgroup on which so much pain and misery of the poor Unix userdom had to deal with.

      What does that have to do with how correct their take on the situation is here in this story?

    One thing I wish slashdot readers and posters would understand is the difference between argumentum ad absurdum and trolling. Unfortunately, you don't get it but the GP does.

  5. Re:contract enforced... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    See, it's not about contract vs right to work here. There is no "right" to breach a contract under normal circumstances. It's like me saying I have a right to get my salary even if I don't come to work. The guy *agreed* not to work for a year after he left MS - he *agreed* to it, how the hell does he ignore that fact, find a job, and then act surprised that MS doesn't like it. It would be the same thing as MS randomly deciding not to pay him, and then talking about their right to keep their money.
    I don't get how so many people miss this basic point here, but I guess this is slashdot... home of the righteous software pirates.
