  1. Re:Tabs will be broken on Firefox 2.0 Beta 2 Arrives · · Score: 1

    Even easier, by default, a middle-click on the tab closes it.

  2. Re:The biggest problem might not have been the sex on Hot Coffee Cooling Off · · Score: 1

    The biggest problem wasn't sex, violence, or lies. It was the threat of federal legislation. Take Two does not care about GTA getting an AO rating, as long as it is from the industry-managed ESRB. ESRB did what it had to do to shut Congress up. No one loses here (except 17-year-olds).
    The industry gets to continue to regulate itself, Congress gets back to extending the USAPATRIOT act, and we all get to keep buying the games we love. Hell, the industry now has a best-selling AO game, and will be forced to come up with real distribution channels for such games.

  3. Re:Maybe try reading your contract next time, Lee on Microsoft Sues Google For Hiring MS Exec · · Score: 1

    "At Microsoft, Lee oversaw development of the company's MSN Internet search technology, including a desktop search service released earlier this year."

    I'm a bit late to the meeting on this due to an oppressive work schedule, but according to the Financial Times (p. 22 of the print edition in DC), he was a speech recognition expert. He had access to anything MS was working on, including China strategy and search tech due to his status as a Senior Executive. His non-compete clause was characterised as fairly restrictive, in that he had to be working on the same stuff at the competitor, not just in their employ. Since he is presumably not working on speech recog at Google, but overseeing the China group in general, it may not violate the letter of the non-compete clause.
