"The only appropriate response would be for Mozilla to automatically refuse it from Firefox with the next Firefox update."
I'd say "The ONLY appropriate response is to create a tech site for this kind of SHIT, and make the new administration a delegate to the site."
Microsoft (and other companies doing this...
Um, let me restructure that sentence...
Companies such as microsoft (lower-casing/deprecation intentional/perpetual) doing this shit need to have their collective and single asses KICKED. It should be seen as fraud, and their board should be put on notice that their expectation of profits WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO INCLUDE condoning this kind of rat-ass behavior.
"The company also accused him of fraud, misappropriation of trade secrets and unjust enrichment."
3 things they (ms) have committed THROUGHOUT their existence....
Fraud: (FUD) Misappropriation of trade secrets: (who hasn't?, others here can cite cases/examples) Unjust enrichment: (FUD, and strong-arming manufacturers into loading windoze but not competing OS, browsers, and other software... until courts intervened on at least the browser issue...)
But, if ms stole or otherwise obtained information on the patent or infringed on the patent in a way which subjects them to lawsuite, then they have to submit.
If he stole ONLY information or evidence about the infringement, and nothing else, but successfully drags ms ass into court, then TOUGH SHIT for ms. If he stole OTHER information, tough shit for him.
Besides, with all the CRM and other tools at ms' disposal, it is mind-bogglingly incredible and infuriating that they claim (to believe) that that he deceived them by his claim that his former employer was out of business. Couldn't they have called on business ID information, tax ID information, payroll records? I would think that ANY employer hiring into a sensitive field would be able to easily approach government (federal down to local) records holders and pay a small fee to look up companies.
This says a LOT about shoddy ms internal HR/hiring practices. Seems Salesforce.com (Sugar and others) might be able to beat shit out of ms on this one: "Use Salesforce.com (other product) and our pre-hire background-check module to avoid "the microsoft mistake"..."
They are ALLOWED because the fucks are doing it at the behest of varoius unnamed governments (or for their own needs, which will ultimately entail apprising the governments of unpublished abilities... recall the simpler ones like $ prompt sysadmins can use to BUST RIGHT ON IN on user accounts with the typical user being unaware. And, for fuck's sake WHY does ms have the shitty model of requiring the user to supply their password to the SYSADMIN so the SA can grant the user access to outlook share folders on another domain? Just another cultivation of "surrender or surrender and change your password...).
Why ELSE could they (ms) do this kind of shit with apparent impunity? Unfortunately, probably the same is happening with Open Source. We can be free of mshaft, but, to operate with relative, apparent freedom, we have to accept that there are mshaft analogs in the Open Source developer base whether white hat or black hat.
If Open Source is going to be allowed to operate, federal back doors will be present there, too. No matter how many eyes can FIND the back doors, the governments will always be in the upper position to demand access, and refusal means being branded with criminal or insurrectionist intentions. So, we pay a price, regardless of OS or flavor of OS of choice.
To bring up witches and wet wicks... umm, "Witches of Eastwick" or "Mars Attacks"...
Why can't we all just get alonggggg?
We all have to legally pay taxes almost everywhere we work, whether by extortion by law, or extortion by corrupt official.
So, at SOME point we're going to as taxpayers have to expect, accept and demand some sort of personnel swap.
It's like it to be that if i could identify and carry out a mutually-negotiated swap, i could work in Korea, or Japan, or China, and my equally-skilled counterpart could work here, at or near my pay and the price i pay is working at or near his/her pay for the contracted duration. WHICH employers would be involved in the swap shouldn't matter. Maybe agencies like Robert Half or some brokering/escrow operation could manage things. As long as the end employers can put up security or bond, then government should pretty much "stay the fuck out of things" except where crime is discovered. Crime such as drug, murder or high offenses. Laws would have to be reworked to retrain people to have different expectations. Example: SOMEday we may be allowed to venture into deep space. Anyone think we're going to succeed well by carrying fucking national flags and territoriality out there?
We've GOT to get past the bullshit nationalism/territoriality scheme of living and doing business. Food, culture, dress, and holidays should definitely remain strong. But, job/vacation interchange should be fostered and encouraged as much as possible -- especially in a scenario like the one i mention above. Qualifications of individuals most definitely should be verified, and fraudsters should be branded globally so as to deprive them or their sponsors of "gaming the system".
South Koreans consume LOTS of bandwidth just watching "broadcasting" and films/"pirated" DVDs. Probably there is little crackdown on at least the piracy of DVDs and related material because ultimately sales downstream probably depend upon or are enhanced by it. Plus, in the South, there are seriously dedicated gamers who'd probably put to shame just about any of the rest of the world.
Until and unless US bandwidth consumers need or demand higher speed and quality and demand it for reasonable (to consumer, not to the execs/investors or excessive R&D or boondoggling) pricing, people here will just shrug it off.
Well, get with the times, hehhe.. a Nokia will slip up into an ass easier than a Timex. It may take a likin', ummm lickin' and keep on tickin', but nothin' beats a slip-in-phone with a vibrator... Might make an interesting phone movie/short...

Posts like this exemplify why slashdot needs a rating system that allows for moderators marking posts as "Informative" AND "Funny". Something could be a troll, but still be informative, especially if the submitter includes irrefutable links that SOME smarmy-assed or vindictive mods (nto all are, but SOME DEFINITELY ARE) may choose not to follow.
Hats off to the former professor who dispensed OpenSource/Linux disks as fast as students could soak them up.
See, people like me take some time so show our sysadmin and some of our programmers what KDE4 does in 256 MB of graphics RAM. I'm running a P-6301 by Gateway, and it has an integrated Intel chip. I didn't have the money to buy a 512 MB dedicated chip, so i got this, mainly because i wanted 17" of screen space to do ViaCAD and such.
But, when it's possible to run Sun Vm/VirtualBox and VMWare in 2GB of RAM, and have vista run faster inside the VM than natively, you KNOW microsoft's GOT to be fucking pissed off, pressuring its developers to SPEED THINGS UP. Well, it ought to infuriate msoft, for it's such a juggernaut that knows not what either hand is doing (playing with itself, self-aggrandizing, on one hand, and, onthe other hand, doing a faux-reach-around on the consumers, companies, and governments with that beast called vista.
If Vista Home Premium is unable to do what KDE4 and Compiz Fusion and plasma and other things related can do, then what does that say about microsoft? I think it says they and the graphics industry probably were in cahoots to drive the consumers/businesses/governments into paying for more hardware than they needed, probably to boost the computer sales industry. Not a novel or new idea. Actually, it's one that should spur anti-trust and other types of investigations. Like the one that ensnared LG and others for price-fixing around LCDs...
But, i imagine msoft will walk away ungrazed, unscathed... And, no, I am NOT one of they el-cheapo types of Linux/Open Source user. While I won't spend $1400 again (not soon anyway) on a laptop, i DID spend some $700, and got what i needed, AND some. I DID buy software (CAD), and upgrade my RAM to 2 GB from 1 GB. I DID buy upgraded hard drives. SO, i'm not complaining that computer peripherals can cost a lot. I'm kvetching that windoze vista graphics underperform, and were designed to screw over people. Hell, even some internal Intel documents (posted/alluded to/revealed here on slashdot) attest to frustrations Intel was having over the vista-ready/vista-capable labels.
Well, what the fuck? Did i piss off some hollywood-loving moderator?

That's just TWO examples of why my argument still stands that lame-assed moderators need to be removed to make room for community-based moderation so that ONE moderator tail-spinning or skyrocketing someone's comments needs to be proto-moderated to punish mods who try to punish those who make comments. Damn you... You could have just left it at 1, insteading of sending it to 0, flamebait.
I suggest readers set level for >1, flamebait and counteract the scoring to torture the lame of the mods who try to get away with bitch-slapping people like me who can't make truly funny jokes that withstand the dumber mods. Smarter mods would have just left it alone, or tied it in with something else if they felt like being somewhat merciful, instead of merciless.

This is NOT new news, and that at LEAST 2 WEEKS ago i read about this. Somewhere in the article Japan was mentioned.
And, no, i'm not referring to this even OLDER article:
Think about the PAYCHECK? Unless you can know the company will NOT be around over the next 2 or 3 years, you might want to consider getting a paycheck until something sure-fire and lasting emerges. Who knows? Your company may be involved in work related to any stimulus package activity. Might take 18 months for it to happen for any such lucky companies. But, considering consumer low-confidence, constant layoff reports, and banks/lenders being not yet bound by law/government restrictions to LEND to individuals in exchange for government help, then it's possible that any number of companies will fold in the next 9 months.
Right now, if your company has a strong customer base (you won't know unless you know their financials, their work load, work backlog, and other things) and your company has a backlog of work, then you might want to stay put. Even if you go to another company, you'd have to drill DEEP into their past 2 years and their business partners/client base's past 2 or so years to make sure you're not hopping out of one potential mess into a real mess in the making.

It's HIGH time that existing SSNs be relegated to status of "compromised" and that they be -- where voluntarily accepted -- used as "public keys", with all official government, law enforcement, legal, financial, and educational, or security agent/law enforcement officials records assigned new, non-public overlay/reference number.
Those who feel they have not yet been compromised can choose to remain as they are. Those of us wanting a newer layer of privacy (for the categories above) should get it, and the new number made up should be in a program where those not authorized to possess, use, utter, share, swap, or otherwise exploit it would suffer draconian, painful, and unerasable pain.
