DOJ To Oversee Windows 7 Development
MrKaos writes "Windows 7 is already being reviewed by U.S. government technical appointees. Under the terms of Microsoft's November 2001 Justice Department settlement, and final court judgment issued about a year later, a government-sanctioned 'Technical Committee' has been formed to oversee Windows development. The TC is responsible for ensuring that Microsoft complies with the terms of the final judgment, investigating complaints about Microsoft abuses and regularly reporting on the company's compliance."
Windows 7 would probably have been pretty lame anyway, WITHOUT government-appointed ANYTHING "overseeing" it. I predict doom, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

It happened in ChatWorld...
Some months ago, I had an extraordinarily clear-cut encounter with Jewish racism (probably including some emanating from beguiled Gentiles) at The Microsoft Network. The links below will take you to my account of my experiences, in the order that I had them. However, you should be aware that people have been reporting further instances of Jewish racism. One of my correspondants says that he was forbidden to say the word "white" and the word "nationalism" in the same chat comment, which implies that the Jews are trying to prevent the idea that there could be such a thing as White Nationalism, though apparently comments about Zionism (Jewish nationalism) are okay, as long as they are supportive.
What I have been told from yet other sources indicates that the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith has invested a lot of money in portraying racism as a redneck thing that only hicks and hillbillies do. In other words, the ADL desperately wants to keep people from knowing that racism has a philosophical underpinning that might convince a good many people if they were to read and understand it. It is possible that the influence of the ADL, or some similar Jewish organization, led to the experiences that I've had, and that others have had, at MSN ChatWorld.
The preceding four parts of this story are given on the pages linked below.

I am continuing to receive reports from goings-on within ChatWorld chat rooms, and also other MSN chat rooms, and all of the news is bad. One fellow got banned (not specced or merely kicked) from a chat room called "Internet Cafe" after he described the room's atmosphere as "stale." Host power abuse simply cannot get any more egregious than that.
Whatever MSN had going for it in its earlier years is gone now, and MSN's decline is probably a lesson in what can happen when a once-excellent discussion and dialog server is shabbily run. My advice to everyone is that they save their money for an ISP and use web-based BBS and chats.
Here's part of a letter from someone who browsed this page in October 2000. Apparently, the Jews and liberal freaks in control over at MSN are still playing their dirty tricks.
Jerry,
I used to (and still do to an extent) frequent the new java chat rooms at chat.msn.com. Before this I chatted in the IRC chats, but they were closed down about a year ago. I noticed that several of the old IRC hosts were now hosts at this java chat too.
I met a group of people a few months ago on MSN, they had started a room called "Aryan Chat 14/88," and I got to know some of them quite well. Before this, I hadn't known any other people who felt the way I do about things, since I'd never seen any racialist chat rooms on IRC before. Things were good for about the first month I was frequenting these Aryan rooms. I didn't have an internet connection so I could only be on occasionally, but the times I did come on using a friend's computer were pleasant, we would have interesting discussions about various racialist subjects. Sometimes troublemakers would come into these rooms and harrass us, but we kicked them out and banned them, just as a Jewish host in a Jewish room might do to us, if for some reason we went in there.
One day, I noticed a person that came into our room, and cussed at us in all the usual ways, so we kicked and banned him as we would usually do. However, about 10 minutes later, a regular MSN host came into the room with this "beacon of intelligence" in trail, promptly tells us "racism is not allowed" and we shouldn't kick people for their views or their color. I had a chance to be shocked stunned and amused by this hypocritical statement, as the host proceeded to kick everybody out of the room and shut it down. Now I don't remember this guy ever mentioning his race to me, so how could I have kicked him because of racism? How could I have kicked him because of his views when the only words he said in the room were insults? This as I discovered was my e

When the US government, or more specifically, the executive office has the power to tell US businesses to facilitate spying on US citizens or even citizens abroad, there are several implications that I cannot get beyond.
#1 Employees of companies that are complicit with US Government ESPIONAGE demands are quite likely to be tried, convicted and even executed as spies.
#2 Spying of this sort cannot be expected to be limited to phone calls. Internet and ALL other technologies can be expected to have complied. This would include Microsoft and possibly even Apple.
It's one [wrong] thing when we have government agencies doing their cloak-n-dagger thing under direction of the executive. But it's another when our consumer products and services are made to do the will of our big brother executive.
Really? Do you REALLY find Libertarians scary? I mean, in the sense that they want to change the status quo, they are scary... I'll go along with you on that. But Libertarians just want to bring us back to the ideals of the founding fathers of the country. Do you think that US independence was a bad idea too? Honestly?
Ah yes, the ideals of the founding fathers: 'the country should be run by the men who own it' as John Adams once said.Yes, US independence probably was a bad idea.
It certainly is today...
Incompetent is automatically implied by / synonymous with "federal" bureaucracy, isn't it?
Who is general failure, and why is he reading my hard drive?
Wait, is this kind of like how Bush was supposed to be better than Clinton?
Have you considered that maybe your judgement just isn't very sound?
