At Microsoft, Lee oversaw development of the company's MSN Internet search technology, including a desktop search service released earlier this year. More recently, he has served as corporate vice president of the company's Interactive Services Division.
Capitalism in it's purest form doesn't work either. And yes, it's all of our business when you and your other upper echelon friends decide that you aren't paying anyone any money for work or are systematically riding out a market because you have the cash to hold out longer than anyone else, be it by inheritance or good thinking. Because that's a monopoly and monopolies aren't fair or ethical or have any sporting spirit.
In a truly capitalistic society monopolies would be legal, and as with any particular ism, they don't work. Wal-Mart has the cheese to outride basically anyone in this game and I wouldn't doubt they'd do it (look at the top 5 Wal-Mart heirs - $20B apiece) but it's illegal. America is a society based on communism, socialism, capitalism and probably a few other ism's but I think it's mostly based on some kind of goodwill to others, life, liberty the pursuit of happiness and the ability not to get fucked by a bunch of rich people who control society arbitrarily or who happen to be born lucky. Despite what I think some people think, being rich isn't usually based on brilliant thinking it's usually based on being born.
I think you are missing the point of intention. Which is central to at least criminal law where you don't have to actually commit the crime it just has to be proven that you have intent to commit the crime. I'd be willing to bet that it works somewhat similarly to civil law where if your intent was to violate the law then you are guilty. Which basically you are if you think about it.
I think you hit the nail on the head. This quote from Google got me thinking:
"We have reviewed Microsoft's claims and they are completely without merit. Google is focused on building the best place in the world for great innovators to work. We're thrilled to have Dr. Lee on board at Google. We will defend vigorously against these meritless claims."
Somehow the verbiage sounds like it came from one of Michael Jacksons attorneys...
He probably has a non-compete clause in his contract which I think precludes him from working for a competitor, but I haven't RTFA. Either way as an MS exec I'd be willing to bet he's not short on cash.
Wouldn't it be possible with an intelligent router to determine if an encrypted connection was being set up and it simply denied any encrypted sessions?
I agree with you except for the part about fellow humans being at an all time low. Think about 60 years ago when whole countries were killing off their citizenry en masse. The dark ages are another good example of low human respect. I think right now it's at an all time high relatively.
I don't think I'm whining about open source software. I think I'm saying to the poster is that what he's asking is basically unobtainable except from users that are truly devoted to the cause. I have no problem with open source software but I think it is unrealistic to expect that people will really get into it in a mass scale while having to deal with bug reports, etc.
And if FOSS has no obligation to provide safe products as you were saying that paid software has, then why would you buy it to put into production?
And you keep expecting masses to embrace this? The open source community while I think is a good idea still isn't understanding that until a vast majority of people can use it, will remain obscure.
Open source doesn't have any real repercussions when they fuck up, so don't expect most people with buying power to embrace it. As far as anyone knows Firefox could fold tomorrow.
Well any guitarist implanted with this would sound like shit in my opinion. Those songs really sounded bad and I'm not critiquing the production. As someone else stated it sounds more like a piano than a guitar. It's an interesting machine and a cool idea though.
Did you actually read his post? I don't think you understood it if you did read it or you would see the reflection of your own post as a mirror image of what a "terrorist" would have written.
Yeah, I'll be sure to file that strace after I get done compiling firefox on my abacus.
Don't you zealots get it? Most people don't want to deal with that shit, they just want it to work. If you found that your milk was tainted with something would you run a test on it to find the bacterium that was causing it? Or would you bitch to the manufacturer?
I agree with you but I think the reality is that most people don't have the time or inclination to worry about their computer security in quite the same fashion that most readers here do. Until the day comes that people stop executing unknown mail attachments I doubt much progress will be made.
Hmm. If either one broke into mine all they'd find are MP3s and installed software. Oh yeah and some e-mail that would be of interest to nobody but myself and the sender.
A little tense about this are we? The poster made an observation about the story, I don't see where the poster is being an apologist. I think you are off the deep end on this one.
I've been using AMD for the last 6-7 years or so now but I'd use Intel just the same if they were priced right. It just happens that AMD is half the cost for a comparable chip. Though Intel actually seems to be getting more in line with AMD these days as far as pricing goes.

I don't know anything about this post, but how is it redundant as the fourth post when the first 3 were:
1) Yeah!
2) not good not good
3) After all, it is Apache server. Anyway, it'll get a fix available likety-split. Go, OSS!
Now I could see if this post said yeah, or good or server in the post but I'm just not getting the redundant mod anymore.
