  4. To be fair, not a Microsoft problem on Italian Consumer Watchdog Sues Microsoft Over 'Windows Tax' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Microsoft makes deals with PC manufacturers, who then bundle Windows and sell to end customers. If you buy such a PC, and don't want Windows, you should talk to your manufacturer instead. Why is it an issue for Microsoft to deal with, or make it convenient for you to get a refund from your PC manufacturer? It just doesn't make sense.

    So sue the manufacturer instead.

    Really? Then how come Dick Cheney didn't replace George Bush as the president?

    Oh wait, maybe he did, just without the title.

  11. Remember time to market on Stuxnet Authors Made Key Errors · · Score: 1

    So the worm is not perfect, but who is? They may not have had time to build it into perfection due to time constraints. Maybe they deemed it necessary to release something that worked as soon as possible, instead of when it's too late.

  16. Re:Are US companies wise to trust in foreigners? on Former Employee Stole Ford Secrets Worth $50 Million · · Score: 1

    Americans do not abandon science and engineering because they couldn't get the jobs. They abandon them because they are hard and do not earn enough money. Why be a hardworking engineer when you can basically steal everyone's money legally at Wall Street, or be a lawyer?

    I don't follow this closely at all, but I would think if there was anything really interesting it would have been picked up by enough mainstream media outlets that it would have been difficult to avoid.

    You mean like this and this?

    He was saying it was easy for the 6-year-old to use photoshop to do this, but it would take several weeks to implement the same feature of photoshop in the scanner software. I thought it was easy to understand, even a 6-year-old could do it.

    How about you cut this 'anti-legal-immigration' crap and fix illegal immigration instead?

    I am a legal immigrant. I came to the US more than 10 years ago and had two master degrees in an Ivy League school. It took me about 3.5 years to get a greencard, and I considered myself bloody lucky. Many people waited for more than 5 years and counting.

    While at the same time, all the politicians are talking about 'comprehensive immigraiton reform', the core of which is to give ILLEGAL immigrants a legal path. Great, nobody really cares about the legal ones and how to help THEM get permanent residence in the US, which is good for both the individual and the country.

    10 years ago, most of us who came to the US to study wanted to stay. 10 years later, many of us actually prefer going back. So, there is no need for you to shout 'go back to XXX', they'll make their own choice, but do you really think that's good for the US that it's no longer the No.1 place talented people want to go?
