"1.) Microsoft is somehow responsible for all third-party DLLs on a system. Their scanner must contain a self-sufficient, learning AI that just "knows" which DLLs to scan on any system in existence."
Please read the letter again (assuming you read it once).
When a third party vendor wants to distribute a Microsoft DLL with their product, don't they have to get permission from you? Wouldn't there be a list somewhere in Redmond of the third party applications that have distributed vulnerable copies of gdiplus.dll? Can you tell us what they are?
As for the "...but Mozilla is vulnerable too!" defence, Yes I imagine Mozilla on Windows certainly is.
As for the "we're not the only ones" plea, this is not a very adult response to any form of critique.
The servers are timed to shut down after 49.7 days of use in order to prevent a data overload, a union official told the LA Times. To avoid this automatic shutdown, technicians are required to restart the system manually every 30 days. An improperly trained employee failed to reset the system, leading it to shut down without warning, the official said. Backup systems failed because of a software failure, according to a report in The New York Times.
You make a good fucking point. Perhaps if you fucking put it forward better then you might just get a better fucking response. Only a fucking antisocial troll would ruin a fucking valid and possibly well-fucking-reasoned statement with such a fucking derisive insertion of profanity and fucking insult. Have a fucking nice fucking day.
I would say your best method would be to lead by example. State your needs to your manager and listen to the needs of your staff. When your manager is applying too much pressure, tell them so. When your staff feel overburdened, listen to them. Your manager cannot read your mind and I imagine you don't have telepathic powers either.
The best stress mechanism is good, open honest communication.
1. The continuous collection and utilization of land remote sensing data from space are of major benefit in studying and understanding human impacts on the global environment, in managing the Earth's natural resources, in carrying out national security functions, and in planning and conducting many other activities of scientific, economic, and social importance."

"15. Development of the remote sensing market and the provision of commercial value-added services based on remote sensing data should remain exclusively the function of the
private sector."
I keep an old prescritpion of amitriptyline in my desk drawer. It's quite out of date (1994). I hold on to it to remind me of the times I took work way too seriously.
"We've been committed to adding advanced codecs to enrich the Blu-ray Disc format," said Maureen Weber, general manager of HP's optical storage solutions business and a member of the Blu-Ray group, in a statement. "We want to offer content providers a variety of compression codecs to suit their various needs. With the addition of Microsoft's VC-1, we extend that option in a package that makes Blu-ray Disc's capacity advantage even more substantial while still delivering the picture quality that consumers demand from high-definition technology."
My guess is that, until proven otherwise, we'll have to take them at their word.

I would hazard a guess that more people (PHB's) read the ads than those who read the EULA's.
To 90%+ of the world, Yes.
I can question the quality with another statement from the article:
If your backup software fails, where are you?
Would that be 'exLAX'?

I must be alergic to beer, I drink 18 and I throw up.
I should have known..., no benefit to me.

Good Luck.

The Mebius isn't just another pretty face--.
You can say that again. It is one ugly-assed piece of hardware.
Good point.
PS actually costs more than the hardware to run it.
Something about that just doesn't seem right.
Most up-to-date virus scanners will be easier than monitoring the network traffic to find a trojan.
