Why should that be bad? My matter will just be flipped over to antimatter, and I will continue to exist in a parallel universe. Then I will intuitively understand string theory.
"That's the stupidest fucking thing I have ever heard of!" (Direct quote of a statement frequently made by Bill Gates in meetings with his subordinates.)
From the beginning of Microsoft's intention to deploy DRM, I have said that DRM would be the beginning of Microsoft's demise. But I was wrong. Microsoft's continual overreaching greed and flagrant stupidity is marching Microsoft to their demise. They have never learned how to do any new technology right, even after thirty seven years of stealing others' good code and redeploying it haphazardly and without any skill at all under their brand. Their aggressively stupid (Vista) act to spread the virulent DRM disease will just hastening their end. Ding, dong, the witch is dead.
Not being a Christian, I could get no use out of a SuperBible. Is there a SuperQuran version? I much prefer spending eternity with 21 virgins than staring with glazed eyes at an a bearded old man and saying "Oooo! Aaaa! Weee!"
The message the video seems to convey is that Microsoft needs developers-- WTF-- I didn't need a video to tell me that-- just look at the crap that is Vista.
Fuck. Nobody did. We all thought it would not be released until 2010, and that it might then be ready for real time use. Well, maybe we didn't think it would be ready, even then. Microsoft never is, after all. They well everyone an early beta, and hope to make the fixes over the next three years.
This July 24, 1998 Wired article about the USS YORKTOWN is a bit dated-- but was it a harbinger of the future? Note the reference to Linux near the end of the article.

Groklaw has been around since before SCO's litigation began... Check out this link for the interview Pamela Jones gave to Linux Online on July 31, 2003 at this site:
http://www.linux.org/people/pj_groklaw.html
In that interview she gives the complete history of Groklaw (she started it "just before the SCO case was filed.") The interview is a very interesting read.
Microsoft has never been 'genuine'. They have always been Microsoft. Which is not 'genuine'. After all, Microsoft got its start from Bill Gates and Steve Allen dumpster diving to steal code, and also stealing computer time on the mainframes.. In those days nobody had heard of cybercrimes. But that is exactly what they were doing. Now it's against the law-- then it wasn't. That only means they were criminals before the law was written. But it also doesn't mean it was not a crime. Ethics, my friends, ethics. Bill Gates is a man who has so much money he doesn't know how to spend it. So he is trying to buy sainthood by giving it to worthy causes. Yeah, right. He could do much more by giving Microsoft to the world, as Linus Torvalds gave Linux. That would free up a lot, to make the manipulation and distribution of information available to all, without patent and copyright restrictions. Information and knowledge is the property of no one. And neither is the manipulation and distribution of knowledge. Wake up, Bill Gates! You want to do something that will really benefit the world? Open up Microsoft so that true open standards can prevail. Make knowledge free of your artificial constraints. You will never be a great man until you do. You will just be another criminal monopolist.
The principles? They cannot even grasp the concept!
I totally agree-- Microsoft understanding the principles of how to document protocols in order to achieve interoperability is as absurd as the idea of a crocodile understanding the principles of how to live as a vegetarian.
He's lying through his teeth. After all, he's a corporate officer. Corporations have the rights of an individual in the US, but they are not required to have ethics, honesty, compassion, truthfulness, or conscience. Hence, when a corporate officer speaks about his corporation, you can be sure he's probably lying.
Buy a Congressman or Senator for a few hundred thousand, and get a new law passed to insure that you will be given a license to rip off the public for billions providing a service which is already in place and working well.
Furthermore, Padraig is pronounced "Porrick"-- just to set the record straight. Now, give me a Midleton. Oh, to be back in Ireland!

Take it from an Irishman-- no fucking mick with his balls still intact would ever drink GREEN beer. It's either stout, or Harps (or insert your own local Irish pub on-tap beer here, countrymen) or nothing at all (unless of course, it's Irish whisky). Eire go brach! Furthermore, there are those who think Bush is of Irish descent-- well, if any ancestor of Mr. Bush came from Ireland, they were probably exported to another country to make bacon or ham. When are you Yanks going to do the same to Mr. Bush? Isn't it time yet? What a wanker!
"I wonder how Linux idealists feel about their cute little OS being deployed in machinery of war."
Can you possibly imagine how much danger this country would be in if we had Microsoft deployed in our machinery of war? It would then truly be the blue screen of DEATH.
I know, I will be moderated down to a -1. I don't care. I would be moderated down to a -1 if all I did was fart. In fact, I think I will fart right now. In honor of slashdot's moderation rules.

Yeah, and the sun was in his eyes, blinding him so he couldn't see how much money he was counting out.

No need to mail it anywhere. Just start repeatedly bashing yourself on the head with it.

Yeah. It will probably be just another case of POP! BANG! Sputter. fizzle. And then and then kiss another internet enterprise goodby.
Beer? I demand at least 12 year old single malt scotch. SM scotch makes me supremely intelligent, beer just makes me pee.
I mean, c'mon, what male Vista user could even tell the difference between a real girl and a transvestite??
I'm lighting up, friends...keep joking around.
Nee.

Ubootu would be even better. I think I'll suggest that to Canonical, Ltd. (This is being written on Kubuntu.)

I've made a good start in that direction-- I've given up all Microsoft technology.
