Shouldn't it be the employee that gets the lawsuit? They were the ones who broke the contract? Not Google? I mean, yes, I read the article, but wouldn't it make more sense to just sue the person, not try and make up random claims?
Sure, they want to attack Google in all ways they can, but seriously... this just seems stupid.
And at no point did I ever say that you did mention Linux. I was simply making a statement -- no different than you did. I wasn't attacking you, I was just putting things into perspective (since most Slashdotters seem to be one-sided in these kinds of discussions).

You're right. At the same time, though, neither is Linux. I wouldn't trust any curernt operating system in my brain, and you shouldn't either. Linux is far from perfect. Neither is Windows.
If we were to get computer-implants, they would be specifically designed for the brain, and they would be running with redundant fail-safe EVERYTHING. We shouldn't trust software that we know has a possibility (as small as that may be) of crashing.
83,431 digits of Pi during a 13-hour overnight stretch. This more than doubles the previous record of 42,195
Err... 42,195 doubled is less than 83,431...?
Yeah, but what if the company is used to dealing with $100 million? The company might need to buy $100 million, or even $100 billion, worth of stock at any given time.
Or the EU can sit down and stop bitching. This entire "XP N" idea was just plain stupid. It doesn't make any sense, and it shouldn't be there.
So what if Microsoft bundles Windows Media Player? I use Winamp, so do a whole load of non-tech friends I have. I actually don't know anyone who uses Windows Media Player in every day life. But hell, the other day, I launched a.wma file I downloaded, and it opened in Windows Media Player. I was glad that it did, too. Why wouldn't I want that?
Your analogy is also seriously flawed since ice cream is PAID. It has a worth. Therefore not offering ice cream would give them higher profit margins. De-bundling FREE SOFTWARE like WMP, IE, MSN, etc. SHOULDN'T cut down from the cost, because there's no cost in creating it.
That's an awfully bold assumption, but I guess they don't want to give away the betas, as then most people would just use the beta all the way through. Good logic, I don't see why not.
Very true. The only thing is a LOT of people use macros in Office, but relatively speaking, not too many people use ActiveX for a legitimate reason, and therefore it doesn't cause as big of a dilemma.
What prevents me from going in there and viewing a handful of people's applicants? Will they get kicked out? I wonder how many of those 119 weren't the real person -- or do they require some sort of user-auth?
I think the issue has inherently been that they can't get another one up there on two weeks' notice - so they're making sure they have 2 ready to go up so that if one has issues, they can immediately send the other one up. That's why they've got it prepared ahead of time.

...and, in case you were unaware, the transparency layer in PNG is stated as optional by the w3, so IE isn't breaking any standards.
I'm waiting for the day that there's a slashdot article that only links to another slashdot article.
Does anyone else see a trend in the names? Google and Zazzle? I think the investors are just biased.
It's only the shells. It's like, win-win: You eat them, and throw the shell into a container that gets shipped off and will eventually save lives.

How is this nerd related in the slightest?
If you were called for jury duty, would you study every single law book and make sure you rule strictly on issues of law?
Free software is causing prices to go up, because they need to make more money in order to compensate for the people who have converted.

Yeah, except that the virus writers aren't the ones who actually name their virus...
can ues send me a invtiz!!!!!!!!11 plzszzzzzz? gmail realc ool my btorher loves it send me!!!111111111
Yeah, 2 line robots.txt and they're done. Sounds a bit cheaper than going to court.
Why would ANY company block out IE? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. They still have the huge majority of the market share.
Businesses are out to make money -- why would they care about technology? God.

Uhh, insightful? I think it was meant to be funny..
Hey, I can run XP and not open attachments, and be fine! And I can run Linux and open an attachment that destroys my system too! Amazing, isn't it?!
No, that's a smart business plan.

MySQL lets you do SQL Injections, too, if you're a retarded programmer. That's an irrelavent point, as that's the developers, not the OS itself.
