    Well, a lottery ticket costs more, but there is actually
    a chance that it is worth more than the paper it is printed on.

    I notice that Microsoft behaviour is quite similar.

  4. Re:itsatrap? on Microsoft and Novell Open Interoperability Lab · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You failed to mention the money dangled over the trap.

    This lab is the result of the Microsoft-Novell FUD agreement.

    And at 2500 square feet, I.E., a 50x50 foot room,
    the techs don't have a lot of room to interoperate.

    It's a farce to appease the EU.

    Microsoft can inflict more economic damage in one day

    BS.

    Darl McBride, SCO's CEO, [redacted] confirmed that SCO believes the license conveyed the right to Sun to open source Solaris.

    Darl, believes.

    He believes a lot of things, none have been proven true.

  13. Re:Not an acceptable answer on WGA Meltdown Blamed On Human Error · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I agree, their explanation sucks. Plain and simple, this problem
    did not occur as a result of the failure to monitor the situation.

    No, Microsoft just fucked up, and did not even know what their
    recovery procedure should have been.

    It was a procedural screwup, not due to lack of monitoring.

    If they had been monitoring the systems closer, yes they could
    have discovered the fuckup sooner, but they still fucked up.

  14. Why does Microsoft bother with WGA? on WGA Meltdown Blamed On Human Error · · Score: 1

    Because they gain a bunch of sheeple that become
    conditioned to being monitored.

  16. Re:The MPAA wants us to act ethically??? on Court Rules Against TorrentSpy In MPAA Email Suit · · Score: 1
    Read it again closely.

    According to court documents, the MPAA came into possession of the e-mails after first being approached by Robert Anderson. Anderson is a former business associate of Justin Bunnell, TorrentSpy's founder.

    That's just timing. It does not say that Robert Anderson supplied the e-mails.

    Anderson allegedly "hacked" into TorrentSpy's e-mail system and rigged it so that "every incoming and outgoing e-mail message would also be copied and forwarded to his anonymous Google e-mail account," records show.

    Allegedly. Note: that is the same procedure as the NSA program.

    Anderson contacted Dean Garfield, the MPAA's senior legal counsel, in June 2005. Anderson told Garfield that he had an informant who supplied him with the e-mails.

    So, he either allegedly hacked the TorrentSpy e-mail software, *or* an informant supplied him with the e-mails.

    Well, if he hacked the e-mail software, he would not need an informant.

    The entire article is full of questions and possibly disinformation.

  17. Re:The MPAA wants us to act ethically??? on Court Rules Against TorrentSpy In MPAA Email Suit · · Score: 0

    MPAA likely got the e-mails indirectly from the NSA.
