I know a number of women who were abused or molested when they were younger. I've seen two different things happen.
Most of them grew up to be strong, independent and admirable people. They did not let what was done to them destroy them.
A small number got caught in a "I'm a victim" loop, never growing past the trauma. It destroyed them, and they remained an easily manipulated people afterwards.
I've got a feeling Ms. K. T. is in the latter group. Inside she's still a small child being manipulated and abused.
I feel sorry for her, because I know the frustration of being friends with someone in that mental state. If the people I've known are any indication, she probably speaks with a child's voice, and and is either stone cold towards sex or can't keep from falling into bed with anyone who asks. Sadly, many people who are abused grow up to to have either a hyperactive sex dive, or no sex drive at all.
The woman is messed up in the head, and instead of trying to heal, she's wallowing in it, never having developed the ability to stand on her own.
I'm not trying to say that writing a book and going on speaking tours is "wallowing." Confronting the events and coming to terms with them involves actually admitting it happened.
Having been a victim does not preclude the person from becoming a predator later in life.

So, we learn that she's a cowardly little brat, incapable of standing up for herself. Gee, if she always lets people walk all over her and always bends to whatever authority figure presents itself, she could end up being taken advantage of by some manipulative jerk.
They did look it up first, they just went ahead not caring that they were about to vaporize someone else's server.
no one's going to go to "katie.com"
As the article states, the woman who owns katie.com receives a LOT of traffic and email from people who think her site is affiliated with the book. She even gets e-mail from pedophiles.
They were using Microsoft Word to write the briefs.
Clippy kept popping up with things like "It looks like you're preparing to sue one of Microsoft's business partners, are you sure you don't want to reconsider" and escalating to "You are making Uncle Bill VERY unhappy."
It finally crashed and sent an "Error Report" with the full text to Microsoft headquarters.
In the end they just installed OpenOffice and finished.
Most of the two hours was downloading the OpenOffice install.

Guess I'll be switching registrars. Any recommendations?
wait 'till the car companies start putting passwords on their engine computers
Notice the "Wait 'till" and the "start."
No one claimed you required a key or password to work on a car. I assume the poster was drawing a parallel between such an activity and what the tape drive manufacturer did.
DS9 pretty much blew until the last two seasons or so.
If you want to see some of the best Trek of it's day (Admittedly, Voyager was it's main Trek competition when it was good) watch the premier (To get the background) and the last two seasons. It gets better and better, has a few relapses into the abyss of the abysmal (Shrinking Klingons and The Humans vs. Vulcans Baseball game come to mind) and had a fairly satisfactory climax.
Some of the best shows were when the Romulans took back control of the station, although some parts of the Dominion war were wrapped up a little too neatly for my taste.
Hey, Data is already dead! From what I heard, they killed him in Nemesis.
Of course, they first downloaded all his memories into an android built by the same guy that was virtually identical to Data in every conceivable way, so they kind of cheated...
They killed Spock, they brought him back.
They killed Kirk, they brought him back. (In a book, but they brought him back.)
they killed Tasha, they brought her back and sent her to an alternate universe, where her daughter grew up to hate the Federation.

Can you imagine a Beowulf cluster of these?
Oh, wait, Windows can't do Beowulf clusters.
Never mind.

Being molested does not automatically make someone a saint. Rotten, miserable little brats get molested too. Clearly, that is the case with Katie T.
Funny to call a rape victim a preditor
Having been a victim does not preclude the person from becoming a predator later in life.

As the article states, the publisher knew someone else owned katie.com
The arrogant bastards just didn't care.
Please send your complaints to Katiet.com, which is the web site of the Penguin book that is causing all this fuss.
If the author gets flooded with mail about her predatory behavior, something might happen.
The autor's address is katie@katiet.com
Penguin couldn't care less.
It's called Wintux

No, it should be "Please feed all the files in your desk drawer to your sheep."

I must say, that's the best summary of the state of Star Trek I've read in a while.
Yep, in Boston, using the subway can mean a random search.
Welcome to America Comrad
Let me be blunt, if the Slashdot crowd can kill this engine so easily, the I don't see it completing with Google anytime soon.
A search for Linux Rocks gives me this:
Search ErrorMSN Search is temporarily unable to process your request.

On the other hand, Searching for Microsoft Sucks gives me a page full of hits, the first of which is the microsoftsucks.org site.
I said "yes" again, and again failed to pay
You realize of course, that if they reported it, that would hurt your credit rating.
Until we have the same standards of excellence that Engineers have in the construction industry we might as well have arts degrees.
Damn, that's a good line. Mind if I snag it as a SIG?
"If contractors built homes the way programmers build software, the first woodpecker who came along would destroy civilization."
Sounds a lot like the calls I would get from the Westborough News when they were trying to sell me a subscription to their rag.
They INSISTED that they did not have to place me on their do not call list, as they didn't have one.
The calls finally stopped after I sent them an invoice demanding payment for my time at $500 for each call after the first one.
After that, I got ONE call from the Metrowest News (Parent company of the Westborough News) and blew a gasket at the caller and their manager.
I moved a few weeks later, so I don't know if it worked.
Westborough, MA. Glad I don't live there anymore.
The question is, did you TELL AAA that is why you canceled?
Yes, I watched the show. I just didn't have enough caffeine in my system when I typed that memo.
DS9 pretty much blew until the last two seasons or so.

Data's crushed head
Hey, Data is already dead! From what I heard, they killed him in Nemesis.
Of course, they first downloaded all his memories into an android built by the same guy that was virtually identical to Data in every conceivable way, so they kind of cheated...
They killed Spock, they brought him back.
They killed Kirk, they brought him back. (In a book, but they brought him back.)
they killed Tasha, they brought her back and sent her to an alternate universe, where her daughter grew up to hate the Federation.
So you never got into Voyager or Enterprise then?
And don't get me started on DS9
