I'm not stating you're a troll because all your information is incorrect - not so. But the manner and circumstance in which you have delivered this information lends yourself to be defined as such.
For the sake of brevity, I'm going to say you're not a troll.
Now, I've read many of the links you've posted and found them quite interesting and informative. What is your opinion of the Linux kernel? Also, what do you think of my opinion of the state of all the major OS kernels out there?
Oh yes, microkernels and especially event driven ones have high overheads - I just think that the trade-offs in this day and age are worth it. In terms of an event driven microkernel, I haven't really used one for my daily computing, no - but I am very interested in them, I'm a hobbyist in this area (however terrible I may be at it). I completely recognise that there is no silver bullet and that my wet dream of an OS could well be proven inadequate in the long run, but that doesn't change the fact that the industry at large has recognised the shortcomings of current designs.
It's interesting to study the motivations behind posts like these. I find these posts quite hilarious and to absolutely miss the point.
One the one hand we're told, "don't feed the trolls", and this person is an obvious troll. But, some part of me wishes to implore them to see the bigger picture.
To whoever you are: circumstance should dictate the tools you use - sometimes this means Windows, sometimes this means Linux. You will rarely see Linux running the domain of a large business, but you would equally rarely see Windows running on the planet's super computers. Also, no operating system is secure. There are relative levels of security, yes, but please keep things in perspective.
Personally, I think the OS needs to be reinvented (I'll drool over a realtime, event sourced, distributed microkernel) - but it is prudent to recognize that this is merely one spoke in the wheel of security. Another spoke would be 3rd party applications, another would be uptime - the list goes on. Widen your field of view and smell the roses: everything sucks - make it work the best you can and be smart.
^ this. You see, since Apple only allows you to install apps from their app store then no other attack vector is possible at all! That's why all the spy agencies use iOS devices for their most advanced and secretive tasks. It's true, believe me.
I don't think acquisitions were on the table - it was more trying to get them on board the Android juggernaut. Google hit their ceiling at something like $6bn though. Beyond that it wasn't worth it. But yes, I understand what you were getting at and I agree that the shareholders would have preferred Google if they had been given background information on MSFT (ie. "everything" they touch dies).
Really, you think its that far off the mark do you? Can you side-load an app on iOS? Are you aware of how Apple is converging Mac OSX with iOS? Is it really that much of a leap?
I don't totally agree. It must be about 2 - 3 years back now, cannot find the link, but I read an article about this very issue. From their research some peoples systems were completely breaking and instead of their bodies getting the necessary energy from their foods, it was storing it all in fat cells. These same people still had the bodily urge to eat because they weren't getting their required sustenance, but it was all accumilating in their fat cells.
Urrgh. I need to find the article. Will post back here when I find it.
Well, I never read your original comments since I couldn't be bothered scrolling up, but I agree with you there. What about this though: How do you produce a fair trial under his curcumstances - especially when there is the very real threat of planted evidence and charges? He isn't just dealing with two pissed off women, he's standing in the face of a half a dozen very powerful and very embarrased governments.
This is correct. If the rape charges are true. It all comes back to that doesn't it.
On one side of the coin you have the proponent of due process and justice - nothing to be sneezed at, for sure. On the other side you have people in power of that same proponent of justice actively subverting justice to bring down the man accused.
Who budges? Who should? The guy getting all the news focus and scrutiny? hmmm.

Yes, truth exposes corruption.

I was russian to say the same thing but you beat me to it. I'm stalin to think that this whole thing is a hoax.

Remember me when you make your millions. ;)
Google was heavily in talks with Nokia around the time Nokia was looking for a new strategy - Elop is a MSFT boy though, so it was written in stone.
You can safely flush a turd down your toilet. There.
You getting shares in each of them? That sounds like a certain profit maker to me!
It should be bleedingly obvious to all that noone other than yourself is going to protect your privacy.
Off to button moon, eh?

Sounds cool. Do you have a website? Surely you have a website...

...with a guarantee that he won't be extradited for unrelated reasons.
Am I missing something here? He specifically asked for this guarantee on multiple occasions and none was given.
