My friend is an MBA grad. He works as a financial analyst for a fairly large company (100K+ in sales/wk). While he certainly can't program or code beyond simple vBasic programs, he certainly knows a lot more about networking and systems than you would expect. IT actually will have him poke around the server room for them(they are in a satellite office without a full time IT guy there). However he may be the exception to the rule. He's a math whiz though and actually was a math major as an undergrad.
Blackwater would be a bad idea. Or any Merc army for the matter. Those guys literally are the law where they patrol. How long do you think it will be until some software engineer does something that the Mercs dont agree with and he is beaten or worse? Most Americans haven't seen what a mercenary army acts like when there is no rule of law to stop them. Its horrific. Google would be better off paying the US Navy and Marines to protect them. Of course, that negates the whole avoiding taxes thing.
What if after they find the device a disembodied voice says: "Good news, I figured out what that thing you just incinerated is. It was a morality core they installed after I flooded the city with a deadly neurotoxin to make me stop flooding the city with a deadly neurotoxin, so get comfortable while I warm up the neurotoxin emitters."
Otherwise I'm sure she would have sued for millions, not a paltry 6,750. I'm fairly certain this is about her keeping control over her creation.

I always heard it was the H-Bomb. Something about the fact that since Hydrogen was the material fusing and there being a significant amount of Hydrogen in our atmosphere that some scientists feared that they would create a runaway fusion reaction and incinerate the earth.
No references, other than my memories from 10th grade Chemistry.
I was waiting for this to be posted. I totally agree with parent. Its not that Google is trying to kill competition. However their business model is so broad, and their programmers and engineers have such a long leash that Google can't help but "beta" other companies into the ground.
I love Google's products, but then again I've never spent years of my life developing a service or program just to see Google swoop in and a) buy it from me, rename it and re-brand it or b) reverse engineer their own version that their distribution network helps obliterate any chance that my product would have had.
Is Google being anti-competition? Maybe. But I don't believe that they are in a malicious way. Whether or not that matters is up to the courts, I guess.
Stop trying to use reason and logic! If the/. has taught us anything, it is that everything everyone does ever is wrong. on a related note, MSIE should be released in Cornish
Not to mention that we helped Saddam Hussien solidify his power against Soviet backed Iran way back in the 1980s and he remains one of our Staunchest allies to this day.

This is why I love Slashdot. Where else can you post code as a joke and have 5+ people point out what you did wrong. I wish I could hug you /.
That and an A+ and $2 will get you a cup of coffee!

They're not really rules, though... more "Guidelines"

And if you've ever been to Glasgow, you'll notice it also goes nowhere (that you'd want to be).
Just remember, use your crowbar on the Headcrabs, shooting them is just a waste of ammo.
You can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in your time?

But how will we get a towel that big up into space?
Indeed. In fact in the comic that they made, they thank the webkit team and mozilla. Anybody notice who they didn't acknowledge?

We already went through this with Manhunt. Unfortunately that probably means that in order to cater to the whiners the violence will be nerfed.

All these worlds are yours, except Europa. Attempt no landings there.
Personally, I back up my data in an inverse parallel universe. Several parallel universes actually. One is a cowboy universe!

offtopic a bit, but whenever I hear Lufthansa, all I can think of is the Luftwaffe.
I dunno, plains are pretty big. The one in the American midwest is almost 1000 miles wide. Now, a plane is completely different.
I checked the site and it says that the OS X version is still in beta. Any 10.5 users tried this yet? Specifically with XP?
