This is the samn damn ship that blows panels everytime it is shot, gets stolen on numerous occasions, has next to no security on any of its computer systems, allows almost anyone into the heart of the ship, and places the bridge and all the exec offices on the top of the ship?
That notice is required by law. It helps protect the company in the event that their stock goes down. I stops the class action mills from sueing for next to no reason.
Since you wish to have internet based companies subsidize your business by forcing them to pay local and state sales taxes in areas where they are not based (therefor not using their local services) doesn't that make you an extortionist also?
"That is false. I'm using Linux/Red Hat here with my Longhorn machine and they work just fine together. "
How *dare* you quote that as though Microsoft had *anything* to do with this !
NO THANKS TO YOU Robert !!!
Or to anyone at Microsoft.
I've just finished patching the current versions of Samba to fix the mess you made when you released an insufficiently tested hotfix for your *latest* worm.
Interoperability isn't just the last job at Microsoft, it's actually a *negative* modifier to your development teams. Remeber, you consider the protocols your software talks to be a "proprietary IP advantage" (quote straight from the mouth of your execs in Brussels).
What *gall* of you to claim this is important to Microsoft, whilst hiding, obfuscating and lying about your protocols.
I'm back from my UK vacation and I'm pissed to have to come back and fix this mess.
Your post makes you look like an idiot and that isn't the type of behavior people look for in an 'consultant' and since you link to what appears to be your business site one can make the assumption that your posts represent the business.
Insulting over 1/2 your possible customer base is never a good idea.
It costs more than 250 times their yearly budget to fly one shuttle mission...That is a sad joke, I bet there budget is less than what NASA spends each year to fly the NASA highups around the country.
If you work for or own the site below your/. UID perhaps you should rethink posting it on/. because your behavior could lead one to believe that your 'code of ethics' is complete and total bullshit.

Not once have I heard of a major crime occuring in a donut shop parking lot...
It's on the top. The bridge is under that skylight.
Apple is evil. They just put a much more pretty face on it than Microsoft or IBM does/did.
I give this post 7.75 minutes before it is moded down because the mods won't respond, they just mod down.
Perhaps there are stages between beginner and pro?

This is the same kodak that is offshoring film production because they are unable to compete with Fuji Film.
Fuji Film is made in the USA.
Kodak exes are just a bunch of idiots who could not give away the cure for cancer.
Because it would tie it to windows.

Jesus being forty days tempted of the devil.
Luke iv 2
That old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world. Rev. xii 9
2. An evil spirit; a demon.
A dumb man possessed with a devil.
Somethings are right and some are wrong.
I have stood up for what I believe and have paid the costs more than once. IOW, I have quit and been fired for refusing to do the wrong thing & I do have a family.
Because a job that pays little and has no insurance is a good as a well paying job!!!
Tough Shit. They where working for the devil and they knew it.
You mean the contract that they change when ever they fill like it?
Hell, cox-internet runs the same ads as cox HSI for a much slower service 1024/128 that costs a lot more. 16.30 more per month to be exact.
