"...how a housefly will gladly buzz around inside a running microwave oven as the fly is much smaller than the wavelength of the RF?
From experience I can tell you that flies do not buzz around inside running microwave ovens for long, and rest assured that the end product smells awful.
This is actually one of the oldest tricks in the book. During the early 1900's, the victorian-era "robber barons" were routinely caught at this sort of industrial collusion, informal agreements at "social clubs" and parties, etc.
"These are not going to be print services over the internet. You are not going to connect your company computers to an HP server where they mail you the prints you make."
The goatse guy must be very disappointed. And HP employees are very happy.
There is another way to look at it. MS historically has a "win or die at all costs" attitude. In other words, they will do whatever it takes to kill a deal even if they can't get anything out of it. Think "scorched earth" policy. There isn't any "playing nice" in such a scenario.
IMHO what needs to happen is for MS to realize that they are no longer a start-up. They no longer need to compete with such a fury that they force entire markets and nations. They no longer need to win everything in sight just on principle. Perhaps it is possible for a corporation to have deep-seated insecurities much like an individual, and I think that is what is happening here.
Good points actually, IMHO. I think what you are really complaining about is the "MS Mind-set". It's the sort of thing where thy simply *cannot* accommodate any ideas other than their own. Much like having elderly (senile?) parents, they have fossilized themselves and the told the *rest* of the world to adapt to them.
Your punctuation, spelling, and grammar isn't much better. Hint, if you want to be a good writer then be a good reader. As for the girls, well, I just dunno.
Well, that's because people (companies, lawyers) are and can be asshats. The legalese is there for good reason, even tho the legalese itself is asshat.

Seconded and I'm a USA born and raised construction worker. I've had plenty of immigrant co-workers and my HOA does similar.
Never mind academia. Try it on the job sometime, you find out real quick who the bullshit artists are.
Putting things in perspective however, IBM invented the context that MS operates within. And they've been around a lot longer.
What do you think this says about those people?
I like having anonymous pussy. Don't you?
Here, have some coffee.
Ah ok. I thought I was the only one who had read "chariots of the gods" and etc.
New, open business model: charge a *lot* of money to give RMS a massage.
Seconded. If they were to sell them off then I would at least pick their brains for everything. How do they operate, code, money, etc.

For what it's worth, it didn't suffer long"
Yeah but did it taste good?
goatse. Because you can always go from point A to point B, whether you want to or not.
I have news for you. Not only can I make the cats yawn, but I can even make them lonely!
No, it wasn't. where the hell have you been?
How is this any different from when Compaq reverse-engineered the IBM PC-BIOS? I mean *way* back when.
Is that something done by business-jism?

Oh $DEITY if only I had mod points for this guy... saved it to txt anyway.

Since when are saintly martyrs and agendas unquestionable?
You forgot his hamster.
What's next? Probably another BSD security hole. But I gotta get laid again first.
