Yeah? then work out the collateral damage done by those 10 viruses on Microsoft's already sullied security reputation. Add it to downtime and instability of networks and servers, then add the amount of money Microsoft needs to spend to mop up after every one of those 10 viruses.
Or... it encourages people to keep writing viruses, knowing that the more individuals who write viruses, the less ability Microsoft is going to have to offer $250,000 to $5.0million rewards.
Let's say that 10 viruses get released, each by a different person. 10 x $5million = lots of money, even for a corp. as large as Microsoft.
"Let only the best programmers reproduce". Hmm. The best programmers are people like Richard Stallman. Well, there goes that plan for increasing overall programming quality.
Wow, now there's a turn up for the books! Apple actually denies that there are any problems and that everything is perfect in Mac-land? What is the world coming to???
Slashdot Mirror
How the hell is this offtopic?!? Fuck slashdot moderators are retards.
I wonder if this could be counted as monopolistic. Oh, wait. Been there, done that.
Because he's a dirty little IP maggot.
Oh yeah, 24/7 holiday? I'm all for it!
They also need a life.
Does this work just as well?
Ha! Burnt, and burnt well. Anyone like their ignorance nice and crispy?

Well, letting wholesale piracy isn't an effective business model either. Besides, consumers != sales or profits.
Now to get this bit of legislation "harmonised" into Australian law. Preferrably after we make a multi-billion dollar deal with the U.S.
... of Lunix supporting terrorism! It looks like Ken Brown of AdTI was right after all.
Or rather, Art of Assembly. Possibly the best information on assembly language programming I've ever seen!
... I think they were talking about the burgers, not the corporate IT budget!
I wrote a piece on Kuro5hin a few days back. Is this what you're talking about?
Yep, something I point out in my K5 diary where I respond to Ken Brown's response.
If they can make it work on non-32 bit architectures, then I can get OS X running on my old PowerPC that Apple have discontinued support for!
wtf??? crap. Wrong story - sorry ppl! I *was* trying to reply to the adti story. *sigh*
Now I'm going to be marked -1: Troll for sure.
... why would you even bother reading this banal junk? Just check out the rest of their site. Most of it's garbage!

Then add $2.5million.

Well, they could say it is a critical part of the operating system. I don't think he mentioned the kernel.
Not using logic results in syllogisms. Not using (or even having) brain power results in slashdot usage. So what was the difference again?
I think you meant "Still confused because I'm English". I would have thought that was a normal state of affairs for you, wot.
