...with the lawsuit(s) that the states are still
pursuing against Microsoft? I thought that part of
the reason for the states v. MS was these type
of problems (MS trying to squeeze out Netscape).
And even though AOL has already had their input
on the matter, I guess they still have the right
to sue. Seems odd that they'd just now jump on
the bandwagon, and that they could have been on
it all along...
...and was hired 6 months ago (just as the
economy started to sour). We (it's a fairly
large company and we do 50% biz for the gov't)
are doing rather well and continue to interview
new graduates/experienced employees.
Some of the guys I work with worked here
previously, but came back after their.com/startup
went belly up.
I submitted a story Friday from Wired online
(can't find the link now, dammit) about the
Senate proposing to give increased power to the FBI for using e-tapping/Carnivore type systems. Basically stated how they are easing the restrictions on getting a specific warrant and other legalities.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, from Vermont, maybe, was one of the only dissenters to this proposed bill. He seemed to understand the need (duh) for civil liberties - I suggest the Slashdot crowd writes/emails him, to show their support for his type of thinking.
