One thing though... Assume for a moment that an innocent person is caught up in this. He/she/it is unable to use their bank accounts for an extended period of time. What happens to the mortgage on their house? The bank might well foreclose. Bills they had, they don't get paid, who is going to pay the interest on the charge cards as they remain unpaid and bump to the highest rates allowed, and accumulate late charges. Suppose they are married. What happens to the spouse, if that spouse A, doesn't have a job and a separate bank account or B, has both, but this is unaccessible due to the relationship to the spouse? They might have kids. Maybe in college, except, not any more, cause the tuition is not being paid.
Will this bill put things right for the affected people if they are found innocent?
Quite. They are still responsible ( in the causation sense )
"I kid you not, the beta of the next version of our product is being managed by the marketing director"
Oh, I believe you. I worked at a place where the VP Eng walked off one day, and they appointed the marketing director to head the department. I think that company was already headed for the dustbin by that point, and decision-making like that is probably why.
"I really didn't want to be in a position to dust off my resume after 7 months, but I might not have a choice"
Absolutely, it is very wise to run your trial where you can guarantee your ability to reverse the change without relying on the uninstaller. It would also be wise for someone writing trial software for a general product like Office to have either the ability to reverse things completely, or to at least warn the user that the changes are nor reversible.
"His Outlook-2000 email was reformatted to the new-and-improved Outlook-2003. And Outlook-2003 format is incompatible with everything except Outlook-2003. So when his trial period was over, he could no longer access his email -- unless he wanted to buy Office-2003"
And with the additional deaths, there will be additional demand for undertakers ( et al ) and ministers. Land prices will go up as cemeteries are built ( and don't forget those jobs either ).
Working with VB and VB.Nyet, I have to tell you that having the IDE do much of anything like this for me only serves to royally piss me off. I have been working in these for a number of years, off and on, and it continually manages to be a source of infuriation to me. I doubt you will like the results.
It's hard to support the "card carrying democrat" line with this, I think.
That line implies that he is just absolutely hard core democrat, no questions. So, I would expect a hard line in donations in line with that, were it so.
I saw nothing of political affiliation on the wikipedia page on him.
He might well be registered democrat, I dont know. His donations, and the fact that several republican administrations have been OK with him imply to me that he is probably a moderate, with some rightist leanings in the right places, and some leftist in places they dont care much about.
On Clinton, she is probably a repeat of her husband in a lot of ways, socially liberal, fiscally moderate, but close to being an elitist.
Let me ask you this: If it had been a Democrat who allegedly outed a desk bound CIA person, and a Democrat argued "they had a desk job, doesn't count", would you accept that argument?
And does the party of the person committing the act matter? Is right right and wrong wrong, or does it change with your affiliation?

You have forgotten, though, that while corporations don't owe you a job,
you do owe them a dollar. Or two. Or three.
Good points.

"Management is allergic to accountability."
Quite. They are still responsible ( in the causation sense )

I hope things work out well for you.
So the spontaniously appear, or did someone ( incompetently ) hire them?
Idiots will seek jobs, perhaps idiots will hire them?
Or to make a direct statement, management needs to own the issue of
who they hired.
Yeah. Pretty much.
No, my secondary instruction is to observe and report.

Is the unicode change the only change between them?
I did not know about the Windows Installer Cleanup tool.
That is good to know.
And yes, it would be hard for a previous product version to
detect a subsequence product installation.
Well, I can understand your credulity, but our tertiary instruction forbids me to tell you.
I've already said more than I am supposed to.
And you don't have the referents for it anyway.

About 5 minutes before it kills them?
I am glad I am not human.
What is socialist about freedom requiring commitment and effort?
They have an incentive not to care.

Of course the cost is too high. It reduces profits.
You communist!
So you can send it an "explode" message?

For a "card carrying democrat", he sure donated a fair bit of money to Republican Candidates. If the site is to be believed, anyway.
