I never got a chance to see the material that John Vranesevich says were "blatant threats against members of my immediate family, myself, and my company." Can anyone fill the rest of us in on what the material was? Without seeing the evidence it's impossible to make a call of whether the material was inappropriate. Either way, Harvard's reaction seems like overkill.
Everytime I read an article about Star Wars and Sci-fi in general one of my favorite shows always seems to get left out. Babylon 5. B5's five year run ended a while back, but I've still got almost every show on tape. This show's five year story arc, a complete plot spanning 5 years, was excellent. I'd like to hear from other slashdot readers and find what ya'll think of B5. For those who are interested in learning about a truly awesome show check out the Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5 at http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/lurker.html
Why is it anything negative about Bill or MS is now automatically 'MS bashing'? If the book stinks, say so.
Just because the book is written by Bill G. and stinks, saying so is 'MS bashing'?
Most reviews I've read (many by non-computer folks) agree that this book is not worth the time and effort to read. If that's 'MS bashing' then so be it.
