Will it actually come down to arresting me for code pieces like a TCP/IP transport routine that I contributed to an open source application - that somehow has been tied to whatever crime committed because they copied my source?
When did my peers and people of my parent's age become such softcore fascists?
You don't need a real issue to have a good witchburning. That's the great thing about it. All you need is a wild allegation and pack of frothing fanboys with pitchforks and you're good to go.
Actually, I apologize. I didn't read the article. I just thought what could be the most lame excuse for a plot device, one that has already been played [to death], and really just silly.
Ooops.
PS - crap. Does this mean I have to cross the picket line and finish the story?
How does a CIO get fired "after an investigation for violation of company policies"?
Misrepresented himself. Is his resume completely honest? Some have been canned for claiming work that they didn't do or graduated from schools when they didn't,
Tried to his station/authority to manipulate or obfuscate reporting numbers for a false picture of the company's standing or fiscal health. Did he misreport the Vista numbers, inflating them artifically (or report lower)? Any monkeying with reports to make himself look better or others look worse can get you fired in a Sarbanes-Oxley world.
Personal conduct. From HP spying on fellow board members and employees to outright unfavorable corporate behavior (e.g. being sleazy to the point of lawsuits) is yet another way of getting fired.
He came to Microsoft in 2005 so he's not a long timer in the company. If Microsoft is trying to push him out, then we'll see if he responds with a lawsuit.
Actually, I don't care that you don't care. In addition, the Facebook crowd does not care either. But I do, because less developer competition is a bonus for me.
However, the Facebook crowd will care when they see a nifty new plug-in or tool that allows them to have a social calendar robot(tm) or ad hoc open forum(tm) or anything else that will make their Facebook experience more pleasant, more useful, or just plain old stupid but with really interesting eye candy.
And by then, you'll care because you don't want to be left out of the "cool crowd."

That's like saying that Troy had to put their enemies in the horse, then drag it up to the gate, drag it through and then offer a soft cushy landing spot for warriors coming out of the horse.
If I'd written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people - including me - would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.

Not bloody likely until they get either RadeonHD or ATI fglrx to support whay they already have in the market.

It is amazing that they are spending that much money and people power, along with the cultural bonus of self censoring, when here in America, all that equates to studio execs demanding, and releasing, yet another lowest common denominator film, and another press release of Britney/Paris attention whores.
Yes, we take our freedoms for granted and now I see many are willingly giving up those rights all in the name of stability and mediocrity. Maybe China needs to take a lesson from us, true censorship is the kind that calls itself "must see TV."

And don't forget, she turned me into a newt.
ok, well...I got better.
Thank god. If they had their own projects to work on, I don't know if I could handle any more "technology advancements" to MySpace.
Not that I ever lurk there, you know...
From Irkutsk you can strike Mongolia, Kamchatka, Siberia, or Yakutsk.
Personally, I found holding all of Australia was the key to taking Asia.
Yes, Floyd came to mind as well. But if I hear one more story of how he slipped Ashley Judd the tongue...
there will be some thrashings from me, too.
Hmmm...

I unplugged that appliance that measured my electric usage. However, the power company didn't see the benefit the way I did.
I have not done anything remotely related to execise after I crushed my stress-reliever ball last year.
Damn, and I liked that ball too. It laste me a whole month.

there will always be the spectre of the lurking pedophile? Is this what they are trying to get at?
BASTARDS!
Dumb terminals can never defeat idiots. That's why nothing is idiot proof.

When I told a charming, beautiful young woman she could plug into my public API, I got slapped!
Gee, thanks for nothing, social networking...
Actually, it blocks out all positive thinking. Sheesh! Some scientist you are...
