  1. Re:What? on The Innovators' Ball · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you read the article you will see that the guy wrote that Microsoft did not INVENT any of these things. They were invented by others. That's why MSFT is not an INVENTOR but rather INNOVOVATOR and the author concluded it was not good.

  3. URGENT!!! on Meet Martin Taylor Of Microsoft's Open Source Test Lab · · Score: 1

    Hi, You will be probably surprised by reading this post. My name is Martin Taylor of Microsoft and I decided to join /. to learn more about open source. Also I hope that fellow slashdotter will help me in something really important that may benefit open source. Naimly, my uncle left me $45,000,000.00 (FOURTY FIVE MILLION DOLLAR) in Liberia (I will not mention the name of my uncle but he is pretty important figure overthere). The problem is how to take it from Liberia and I am hoping someone in /. will help me. I will give that person 30% of the sum, 10% percent will be kept for expenses and 60% will be donated to the FSF (free software foundation). Please keep this in stric confidentiality because if Bill finds out about this post he may fire me.

  4. Achl./turtle is paradox only in Lynds' framework on There Is No Single Instant In Time · · Score: 1

    If we assume that there is an instance of time - Achilles/turtle run is not a paradox. You can apply either calculus or Conway's subreal nubmber algebra and calculate the the exact INSTANCE when Achilles and the turtle are lined up. If there is not a single point on the time dimension then Achilles will be always be either behind of or in front of the turtle. They cannot line up, because the math tell us that they are lined just in one single point on the time dimension. So, how can Achilles pass the turtle if he cannot ever line up with it? Achilles vs turtle is a paradox only within Peter Lynds' framework.
