  1. The Taxpayes help pay for CERT. on Early Warning For Microsoft Premium Customers · · Score: 2, Informative

    The U.S. government's Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) has also been heavily criticized for providing security advisories to paying customers ahead of coordinated public release.

    Last January, research firm Next Generation Security Software (NGSS) severed ties with the federally funded US-CERT and accused the organization of selling early access to vulnerability warnings long before vendor fixes are made available.

    At the time, NGSS co-founder Mark Litchfield said it was "annoying" that CERT gave early warning on six vulnerabilities to its paid sponsors before vendor patches were created and made available. "The problem became apparent when the vendor we're working with on these vulnerabilities said they were contacted by government departments. CERT notified them ahead of patches being made available. We did not know about this policy to share this information with people who pay for that privilege," Litchfield argued.

    Please research the jobs that illegals are taking. If you do this you will find that it is mostly the starter jobs and the low wage jobs which, before this invasion, where taken by blacks. Just look at the unemployment rate in the black community.

    Deportees are liinked to Mexico crime rate.

    They placed their stock on the open market, that is what gives others the right to sell their stock. Another company trying to take over another company can not force the company to sell treasury stock nor can the force the founders to sell.

    IOW, do not sell more than 49.9% of your company to others if you wish to keep in control.

    You don't. In the LP's view of the world those that have the money and power get to make all the rules. They forget that humans are basicly corrupt and, as a whole, don't care about anything other than power.

    The LP's ideas, much like communism, fall apart when put into practice because humans don't think that way.
