Yea, they're so wholly idiotic that they're raking in huge amounts of money from corporations without having to do much work, since they don't really vette the applications any, leaving the legwork up to the company legal departments, thus basically engaging in a business model in which rich people willingly hand them huge wads of cash for no actual service in return.

What morons they are!

Jesus, I wish I could be that stupid.

Just out of curiosity, is there anybody on Slashdot who actually thinks their comments through anymore, or is it pretty much the norm these days that no matter how successful a process is in its goal, the people engaging in it are "idiots" and "stupid" if the nerd collective finds it unappealing?
