"other software platforms such as Linux, Unix and XML (Extensible Markup Language)"
If I'm not ENTIRELY mistaken, XML is more of a data encapsulation format and less of a "platform". Aggressive ignorance of this nature always irritates me. I would take some of these articles a little more seriously if they just had a CLUE.
Or is this at least immoral, if not illegal? Obviously these institutions have spent a great deal of money to ensure that they can continue to sell what I regard as private information of "regular folks" to the highest bidder. Perhaps I'm missing something, but the more of these stories I read, the more uncomfortable I am becoming about the general state of affairs in this county.
Ouch. Perhaps true, but...Ouch. There are few things more painful than transitioning from a radical to a suit. It is a transition that most make, although we who have crossed the great divide, look back fondly to the days of yore, and wish...well...THAT'll never work then will it?

If you read the very bottom of the article, you will note the sentence:
"Twin Galaxies also conducts an Annul Video Game Festival at the Mall of America in Bloomington, MN."
Makes for an interesting twist
