To me it seem as most of the time there is a greater love for pointlessly bashing twitter and his sockpuppets than MS in the MS article threads.
Effectively making the threads hopeless to read, for an example of what I mean have a look at http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/11/13/210255 with your prefs set to show all comments.
"Vodafone and others say slashing fees would make handsets costly for poorer customers and may result in people having to pay for receiving as well as making calls."
This USB stick with sensitive/valuable data got returned and appropriate actions could be taken to minimize damage. But the number of incidents like this we've seen lately raise the question how many other lost USB sticks and other storage media with passwords, personal data etc that are floating around unknown to the people whose integrity and personal finances quite possibly are at stake.
but giving other countries our technology is a stupid move,
Technology like the Playstation with a label underneath saying that it was illegal to export it from the US, which I bought in Hong Kong back in the 90's and brought to the terrorist nation Sweden?
"When an ISP's customers use a file sharing program such as LimeWire to, for example, search for a pirated music track, they are instead presented with a list of search results containing legitimate versions of the song and are given the opportunity to buy it instantly."
The day my ISP start manipulating my searches is the day when I cancel my subscription and move to greener pastures.
You can't open a combination lock one day and claim that you forgot the key the next day.
Sure you can. Next to everyone working in a IT helpdesk can tell you about users calling you saying something along the lines. "Ehhm I just changed my password and can't remember what I changed it to. Can you reset it?"
If in position where asked to reveal your password, give them a ludicriously long one and say that you just changed it and don't remember the exact caps usage, replacement of letters by numbers etc. Likely to be true? No. Plausible enough for the court? Probably. Will it help them to bruteforce their way into your data? No.
I think you are free to set up your own app store/distribution centre, albeit less tightly integrated into the iPhone.
Sure there is nothing to prevent you from doing so. There is one small catch though, Iphone users won't be able to install any of the applications you offer. If they can, chances are very good that you have broken some Apple patent, Copyright, whatever and will find yourself being shafted in the ass by an unholy army of corporate lawyers.
"Microsoft's IE8 browser includes a keystroke-logging search suggestion tool similar to the one that Google modified Monday after coming under fire from users.
Unlike Chrome, IE8 Beta 2 doesn't enable the feature -- which some have compared to a keylogger -- by default. One privacy expert said that was a "huge difference.""
http://www.cw.com.hk/article.php?type=article&id_article=2277
With IE8 having the functionality to log keystrokes and send those back home the level of privacy is debatable.
From the IE8 Privacy statement, that almost no one will go though the trouble of reading:
"When Suggested Sites is turned on, the addresses of websites you visit are sent to Microsoft, together with some standard information from your computer such as IP address, browser type, regional and language settings,"
Granted Suggested Sites is optional, but that this function is built in in the first place would make me highly uncomfortable if I were using Windows. Especially since "secret" changes of EULA's is a quite common practice.
It would be interesting to know how many users that will embrace this "feature" blissfully unaware of the invasion of privacy they have been tricked into with IE8 defaulting to "Yes, turn on Suggested Sites," when asking the user "Do you want to discover websites you might like based on websites you've visited?". Which for many will seem like a great thing at first thought.
I have a hard time seeing coming to Firefox or Opera for that matter as at least these two browser makers actually do care about their users privacy.

We might have the same system in Europe soon. So if you are from the EU, don't gloat too much.

Three questions.

1. The wish to be part of the ubercool my. group, whatever it takes.
2. Sure, but only if it is a close up image of your expanded rectum.
3. Bit sore in the rear, otherwise just fine. Thank you for asking.

The data can't be altered because it's digitally-signed.
mmkay..

But android doesn't have the Apple logo, what is its excuse for not being MS compatible?
That it don't have the MS logo.
Some common sense comes into play! Hopefully something happens as a result of this.

So, Dubya suffer from the same skin colour altering "disease" as Micheal Jackson?
they'll pollute anyways considering the environmental laws(or lack of) they ignore so flagrantly.
As opposed to the fine track record US have with environmentally sound legislation and it's strict adherence/enforcement of it?
Gaah! Seem like my brain shortcircuited, what I meant was: It is just a variation in the amount of data used to prove the "truth".
Not really. You have statistic, damn statistics and then you have lies. It is a just a varying degree of the same concept.
Neah you rate them as Confirmed, Plausible or Busted. If in doubt on which of the three that are applicable you contact Myth Busters.
One of these things, is not like the other.

Sooo... I were not being overly paranoid when the PHB had cctv's installed all over the place
Where are my modpoints when I need them? I just splurted coffee all over keyboard and monitor, good thing the pointy haired boss isn't around.
Yep, and now we are waiting for it to hit AC in the back on his/her way out.
In written form there is good reason for doing so.
