Jive, SugarCRM, and Novell are all companies that are built around products that are open source. While 37Signals has released an application framework as open source, their applications, like Backpack, Basecamp, and Highrise are not open source. 37Signals is a great company with really good products, but I don't think they are the sort of company that Ballmer was referring to.
If you knew the history of this, you would also know that she actually "worked" for a CIA front company. So even if you had her W-2's, they wouldn't have told you anything. I would seriously doubt that any covert operatives actually get W-2's from the CIA. That would kind of defeat the purpose....
Now it's just gonna be IMDB (in-memory database) which was stripped from Win2000 at the last minute file-system filter driver, which will be used by Explorer.
What FUD! WinFS never existed in Windows 2000 and was never stripped at the last minute.
Well, there was a product called IMDB that got yanked from Win2k, but it was not the same thing as WinFS. It was essentially a SQL database pinned into memory that you could use to store data that didn't change much. Good idea, too bad it didn't make the cut.
Not really. You'd be surprised how many universities still use Scheme as a teaching language. Having a nice set of data structures (lists) as a first-class part of the language is a good thing. Plus not having to mess with pointers and such.
I'm not losing any sleep over these people losing their jobs. If you're in an industry whose major focus is pissing people off, you deserve to lose your job.
If you look at it another way, the people who opt not to be put on the Do Not Call list (both of them), obviously don't mind being annoyed by these people and will be much more receptive to these calls. Should make the job of a telemarketer a little easier.
Spammers look out, we're coming after you next.....

py2exe will compile a python app into an exe, including it's dependancies (like wxPython).
You're confused. Auto Dialers don't dial a sequential list of phone numbers (555-1111, 555-1112, etc). They call a list of numbers purchased or given to them by someone else. They just do it automatically, and filter out answering machines, three tones (number not in service), and busy signals. Much more efficient than calling manually. As a side note, dialers are used by legitimate(non telemarketers) businesses as well. e.g "Mega Telco" needs to call 50,000 people to tell them that there area code is changing.

How's his son David doing? Last time I heard anything about him it was 1983....
1994 called, they'd like their user interface back. Seriously though, that's butt ugly.

- Backpack
- TaDa Lists
- BaseCamp
These are all apps that were developed by 37Signals. I'm not affiliated in anyway, other than as a happy user.I LIKE my loud clicky keyboard. And music. Good thing I have an office, I guess
Except that these are Windows Messenger Service popups, not javascript popups. Completely different thing.

No, moron, he WROTE fetchmail. And its companion GUI, fetchmailconf. Check your facts before you run off at the mouth.
