This also means that any company that runs Windows is also in violation, unless they get full disclosure from Microsoft on all tech Microsoft has licensed/stolen/whatever.
More fud from team99 is my guess. Boy are the MS shills desperate.
"Have you started drinking or taking drugs since seeing the questions sent to you by Slashdot? Are you emotionally scarred and bitter now?"
Based on the commnets posted, I think it's the/.ers who a scarred and bitter.
More likely the drugs and booze started BEFORE. How else to explain the mess that is Windows Security.
Based on the comments posted, yes,/.ers are scarred and bitter - we've heard too many lies NOT to be a bunch of cynics. Microsoft is STILL the most hated company in the world, and nut just by techies and geeks. Just ask anyone who has had their work eaten by Microsoft.
By the time you successfully print the 22TB of data, you would no doubt pass the 10 month threshold for the double sized growth. Once you start printing, you'd never stop!
I have a simpler soluton - just study Bush supporters - they come from the shallow end of the gene pool, so your flood of data would also slow to a ttrickle.
Winning the home users is a powerful accomplishment.
... I only know a couple of people who don't use firefox. My guess is that, now that it has traction, we're going to see its usage increase significantly, as people just get fed up with IE, and the new converts go out and introduce others to the circle.
Besides, when Vista finally comes out, that's pretty much the end of the line for Microsoft in the home market anyway...
That's an interesting question. All of us habitually read Slashdot while we're avoiding our own work. But if Slashdot is your work, what do you read between tasks? All these dupes are evidence that they don't actually read this site, so where do they go?
... shhh... I'll give you a hint, by changing one letter and playing anagrams...
Has slashdot really gotten to the point where we have to spell things out with <irony> tags?

P.S.: The real irony is that the article was about a security breech by someone who lost his job through being outsourced; there have been a lot of security breeches that were a lot more severe than just deleting someones email, that were the direct result of offshoring... there are lessons for both employees and management in this article.
Unfortunately management, being management, probably won't read the memo. They're more interested in CYA.
Okay, I know this is slashdot and most people didn't RTFA:
A federal judge disagreed and handed down a relatively light sentence of three months of imprisonment, three months of home detention and three years of supervised release, plus a $5,000 fine and $20,350 in restitution.
So he IS going to repay them $$$, lots of it. Not just jail time.
It's a good thing that bad guys would never get a job at the agency handling all that information and get access to those databases.
The bad guys will have NO problem getting it. This is a program the individual states have to implement without being given any money with which to do it. Sort of like cutting the legs off a frog and saying "Jump, frog, jump." It'll be outsourced and either India or China will p0wn you.
In practice, an ignition temperature of 400M K is needed to compensate for lost energy
Even the lower temperature of only77 million degrees makes 15,000 degrees look positively arctic. Being able to do it in a container without magnetic containment in a vacuum... well, sounds like cold fusion to me.
people pay for compactness its the reason lcds are popular with PC users even though they are a heck of a lot more expensive than similar sized crts.
and a hell of a lot harder on the eyes. I'll pass.
Same with the plasma TV. The money is better off in my pocket, and the picture is the same or better on the latest crt rear-projections, unless you want to spend an INSANE amount of $$.
If the oscar jury can't play (and leak) the movie then there IS NOTHING to download.
So the only people in the supply chain who have ever leaked anything are the oscar jury? Nah, can't be. Some schlub somewhere has an unencrypted copy. After all, they don't just pop out of the camera edited, post-processed, and encrypted.
"Someone pushed the wrong button," she said. "It was a case of rotten bad luck."
Is this a trial balloon for the excuse Bush will trot out for starting the next nuk-ul-ar war? "I pushed the wrong button," Bush said. It was a case of rotten bad luck."
The Guardian newspaper has reported that 5000 DVD based preview copies of Spielberg's 'Munich' sent to reviewers in the UK can't be played due to the copy protection system involved.
Oh, well - they'll just have to download the torrent, I guess.
Makes you wonder what kind of scientist would actually want to work on decaf coffe beans though...
A mad scientist, obviously. And quite cranky to boot, I would think.
But I heard they're trying to insert a gene so it makes opium instead of caffeine. This way you can REALLY have a glass of Coke. That'll rev your engine first thing in the morning...
It doesn't run on a P1 - I tried. It runs on that crappy old 486 I've got sitting under a bunch of stuff in a closet, with no sound card, lousy video, etc. That's about it.:-(
Its funny, but when I bought Simcity3k, I found it wasn't as fun as Sincity2k. But for just playing for an hour or so, just for the fun of it, the original dos version was the best.
That just doesn't parse. It's like saying that something is always in the last place you look for it. Of curse it is - because you then stop looking, even if its in the first place you look.

You have a strange definition of the word "improved" :-)
It hasn't improved at all - by most objective measures, every generation of product has been more severely b0rked than the previous generation.

After all, now that's he's been outsourced, what better job security post-9/11 than sitting in jail with all the "terr'rists"?

I like my way better. It helps explain most of the worlds religions, and ALL politics.
It also explains the Pope's dismay to the first question he asked God when he got to the Pearly Gates.
You can guess the question. God answered him, "No, I said CELEBRATE, not CELIBATE!"
I don't know ... if the whole village is wasted, yur data isn't going to survive the communal hangover ...
