I'm thankfully not smart enough to qualify, but I've worked with both Heretics and Jerks. One of the really nice things I love about my current workplace is their clear and very explicit "no brilliant jerks" policy. "For us, the cost to effective teamwork is too high."
The only time I've ever interviewed someone, walked out of the interview absolutely sure we had to hire them, and been wrong was when we hired one of the three smartest guys I've ever worked with -- who proved to be entirely ineffective in getting anything done because "we have to change everything because you're all a bunch of idiots!"
Wonder what its going to take in order to make it a "formal" complaint. Maybe attach a tazer to that complaint to get some attention from someone there.
Or the Microsoft way, just pay the person to make it formal right?
very good point, and quite the same as I was thinking.
It would be great to see something proactive come out of this, but then again, thats asking the impossible, because M$ can't get it through their thick skulls to actually do something about it. A sad web they have woven...

This is beginning to sound like a "domino effect" of anyone who has any info relating to those events...

One wonders how easy it would be to make an FF plugin to just replicate the cookie content.

no doubt, I was going to ask, how much did it take to pay for that advertisement of BS.
