A: Well, really helping developers understand what we got available for them to use, not just frankly in Windows, but in Office and our Server products, what they can take advantage of, exploit that....
Yes, and with poor software design, a lot of exploits can be written.

Indira point, the southernmost tip of the nicobar islands was only 160 km from the epicenter (next closest after Aceh/sumatra-Indonesia). While the islands, are strung in a north-south chain, they are still much closer than thailand, sri lanka, mainland india, or some of the indonesian islands.
I've heard that the time between earthquake and tsunami in some of these islands was only 3 minutes - not nearly enough to do anything before the tsunami hit.
The Andaman and Nicobar islands are home to tribes which have had very little contact with civilization. Some of these tribes are hostile to all outsiders. They have had little chance to build up the normal immunities that we have.
The islands themselves are relatively unspoiled and untouched by development.
Partly, this may be because most modern necessities, and even foods are expensive and have to be imported by air and ship over 1000s of km. However, I felt when I visited, that
the Govt of India had decided to go slow on development to keep it pristine (natural jungle, ecology, beaches, coral) and prevent further anthropological disasters
Some info on the tribes post tsunami :

Some boats have circled an island where the tribe had not previously allowed them to land, no evidence of the tribe was found post-tsunami from the boat or from air.
Some tribes/people have fled into the inhospitable jungle; with little to eat and drink and fearing further tsunamis, and rocked by incessant aftershocks, information is slow to trickle out.
There is also a major Indian military base on these islands, with the concomitant restrictions and secritiveness. The base is in a geographically and strategically sensitive location for India.
Ironically, as most countries, including India are attempting to send the military to help those affected by the tsunami, the military base on Andaman and Nicobar itself was badly hit, with many/most air force buildings levelled
With the closest point on the islands being only 160 km from the quake epicenter (next closest inhbited land mass after Aceh), there are reports of whole islands split, and of islands missing, swamped, after the tsunami.

Now free oxygen radicals combining are probably exothermic,
This corresponds even more closely to reality. Governments set the rules, (including taxes). People and Companies game these rules, resulting in the government issuing a new fix (new law/new tax), and so on.
The only differences: governments don't have as complete a control as above (though they have the responsibility) and companies and people find it more difficult to leave in real life.
Likewise, if the FBI agents who broke the Russian law visit Russia, they may be busted for having broken Russian law
Question: Were the FBI agents acting on their own cognizance or on their corporate/governmental cognizance?
If I sexually harass someone at the office, not only am I liable, but, in certain circumstances, so could my company.
Similarly, if the FBI/US govt "visits" russia, why would they not be busted?
In the states, if the cops perform an illegal search and seixzure, the (law enforcement) organization is penalized (by having those results witheld) not the individual who performed them (is he liable for anything other than possible departmental administrative penalties ?)

Young grasshopper: be not strident, take your own advice, give every man thy ear but few thy voice and so on.
Bad example. India invade Kashmir? The case for this is marginal, to slim at best. The only time India may conceivably have 'invaded' Kashmir, in 1947, in response to a request by the legal ruler of the state [admittedly under pressure], and under the guidance of a former colonial governor [Mountbatten], sent troops in to counteract an irregular army which had already been sent in. My personal opinion is that to call this an invasion would be a stretch, especially in the context of (magical, sleight of hand) nation formation that was taking place at the time, when oodles of princely states, (podunk and larger) became the [ relatively] modern state of India.
Little grasshopper, just because you heard the word on CNN, does not mean that you should run out and quote it.
No, the example you are looking for is... Goa.
Go ahead, follow your own advice. Read.

*Incidentally, both these examples seem tied to the concept of self and nation formation. A slippery slope, especially when Saddam claims Kuwait as a province (But think about it - what if the US had not responded - would the native population have a similar self-identity by now ?). IMO opinion again, though, Goa is a far cry from Kuwait, and must be seen against the context of :
* Colonial history - How did Goa become Portuguese
* Similar nation building elsewhere - west and east
* General non-violent nature of the building of a Governement of India from Bristish rule [A strange bird]
