obviously they thought they broke in somewhere else, cause as soon as they realize they downloaded MS code, they'll probably pay Microsoft to take it back.
Obviously it was moderated by an idiot who doesn't realize that you can make a highly secure environment by not keeping any top secret information on the clients. If you need to get to the info, you get authenticated onto the server, which is locked up tight in a room. Make it even more secure by removing the floppy & hard drives from the client machines. Can't log in = can't get to the information.
U.S. Patent Application:
When the Service Manual for any hardware or vehicle calls for the required "Special Tool", let it hereby be known that using the hammer and screwdriver together as said "Special Tool" is a proprietary innovation. This patent covers all hammer types, and all screwdriver types and sizes.
Trying to sneak by with a chisel that resembles a screwdriver and not paying royalties will also get your ass sued.

WordPerfect is the only Word Processor left that has a decent foothold on the market. People that use it simply don't wan't to change to that MS Word program that's only good for writing letters to grandma. So what better way to beat it than their old tactic of taking over the company, and cutting it off? Sure, hundreds of businesses rely on it daily, including MS's own lawyers, & they'll be forced to "upgrade" to Word. But hey, it's innovation. Deal with it.

Um.. what's so neat about changing the way a couple of icons look? Now we'll get big folders... yippee! I bet the blue screen of death is the same.
It seems like the control panel area is the real only improvement, making it a bit easier for the newbie to find what he/she is looking for.
I haven't been to the Missouri Institute of Trucking in forever!
If they roll one of those fake coyotes on rollers out in front of you, just nail it. Takes em hours to glue all the fur back on.
I was just thinking the other day how we'd load the old DOS WordPerfect into RAM... it smoked. If I get it to work for the new version for Linux I'll lets ya know:)
Great.. now I've got a cow cracking keys, a Seti (isn't that bigfoot?) dish calling aliens to my house, and a screensaver that receives robots. No wonder all this code takes forever to compile...
Just some inline holes in stealth mode. Really, it's a black hole, how do we know if there's a huge black hole behind it or not?
I think a black hole is just an ulcer in a huge stomach and once you get in, you wade around in the muck with all the other stuff that's been swallowed.
They should give that guy a raise, not sue him. The leak is the most publicity they've gotten over their new product that nobody but them really cares about.
Hell, he/she probably can't even hold a pencil. Those people had enough to fear with all the Roman soldiers running around busting up their Jesus parties. Imagine if God told them... "Oh yeah, by the way, there's life out there in space that might some day come here and kill you, so while you're hiding under your bed from the Roman army, make sure there's no aliens under there". They would have gotten all confused & would have never gotten the book published. People just weren't ready for it yet.
Hey... there's no "edit-paste" on the menu, and I can't ctrl-v w/ it. was up wit dat? Oh wait.. it's a browser.
Anyways.. shows up as Mozilla5.0/Gecko in server logs. No reference to K-Meleon.
And it locks up when trying to type text and move the cursor within the box... Oh wait again... it's Windoze. My bad.
A huge security hole and MS doesn't plan on doing anything... except charge you money for an upgrade that might fix it. We'll never see that one coming...
.
Their goal is to stop the distribution by shutting down the websites right? The other side wants to get it out there and in everyone's hands... Think of how many people would have the DeCSS code if the I LOVE YOU virus had carried along this little text file instead. You simply make it a little smarter by randomly changing the subject name and the.vbs name so it stays out there a bit longer.
Just a thought.. I have no intentions of writing one!

Yes... smart for them... stupid for Linux users to use it.
We need to continue working on our own products, because as soon as MS Word for Linux is accepted on the Linux desktop and development on other alternatives stops, Microsoft will pull the plug on the project and say "Oops. Looks like you've got no Word Processor. Here's a Windows 2001 CD. Better load it up cause we're the only game in town."

Obviously MS has recognized that they can't kill Linux using their typical methods. They're either trying to infiltrate and destroy once they get their grubby hands in there (remember how much they helped out with Java?), or they truly feel that Linux will be a threat to them as a Desktop OS soon and they are trying to move their MS Office dominance over to a new platform.
~
They just don't get it though... the whole purpose of running Linux is because MS has abused their customers to the point that they feel they need an alternative.

If you feel you need to have MS Office compatibility, and run Linux for stability then go buy Corel's WordPerfect Office Suite. If you do more in your business than type letters to grandma you'll appreciate having WP over MS Word anyway.

Are the bozos over at Rambus claiming that they invented this magnetic ram technology as well?
I can see it now.... "We sat in on a meeting about it, made some copies and ran and got a patent. It's ours! It's ours!"

Yeah, you'd just have to hope it misses your house when they do their "controlled descent" into your back yard.
obviously they thought they broke in somewhere else, cause as soon as they realize they downloaded MS code, they'll probably pay Microsoft to take it back.
Yeah. The whole thing is probably just a new MS2000 random account creation "feature" that they haven't realized that they added yet. .

We should all start trolling as Malda.
So how's that 8 track workin out?

Oh... I haven't run IE in such a long time that I didn't realize they put a fancy mail "button" in there. Sorry to hear you're still using it.
Why is this marked as flame bait? Seems like a legit thought process to me...
I just threw away an old cdrom "cartridge" thingy & a Vic 20 tape drive he could have had for his collection.
