Not a stretch at all... You think the founder of the company doesn't still have friends there? You think they won't be sympathetic to the old boss' presidential campaign?
Plus, he couldn't buy it himself - its not like Bush owns News Corp (i.e. Fox News) - Murdoch does his bidding for him, to get around equal time and campaign finance laws.
No idea about NetLedger, but SalesForce.com has been kicking-ass-taking-names. From CRM Magazine's 2005 CRM Market Leaders:
In the "Enterprise Suite CRM" market segment:
One to Watch A recent AMR report indicated that 47 percent of large enterprises, or companies with more than $1 billion in revenue, were going to look at the hosted model as part of their "going forward CRM strategy." If there is a single one-to-watch on-demand provider, it's Salesforce.com.
In the "Midmarket Suite CRM" segment:
The Winner
Salesforce.com has relentlessly focused on its "no software" mantra--and it has worked, as the company outpaces all midmarket contenders in company direction and scores for customer satisfaction. Its success, though, is also rooted in its strengthened product offering, evolving from its early stages of virtually just an SFA tool into delivering more robust feature sets and deeper back-end integration and customization capabilities. Although analysts note Salesforce.com's eye on the enterprise, Jacobs points out its enhanced functionality with subsequent releases. Just this past July the company announced the general availability of Summer '05, including Salesforce Summer '05, Supportforce Summer '05, Multiforce 1.0, and Customforce 2.0.
And finally in the "Small Business Suite CRM" segment:
The Winner
Salesforce.com jumped to the forefront of the small business space this year by continuing to deliver on its promises of simple pricing, breadth of functionality, and low IT overhead for users. This helped to deliver the company's strongest rating, 4.1 for company direction.
But a winner isn't made on one criterion alone. Salesforce.com's scores were all consistent, with its direction garnering a 4.0 in satisfaction and 3.9 in functionality, showing the company to be a solid choice overall. Salesforce.com also served up a basketful of new functionality with Sforce Partner Toolkit, an open-source Java application that allows customers to open up parts of their CRM system to partners without exposing all their data. A number of other additions were introduced as open-source or soon to be so. "They're a relatively young vendor, consistently and continually adding enhancements, modules, and features," says Laurie McCabe, an SMB analyst at AMI-Partners.
One thing remains to be seen, though. Its most important partnerships and marketing pushes have been toward the top end of the midmarket and into the enterprise realm. Will this big-game chase cause Salesforce.com to slip against its competitors in small business suites? Only time will tell.
It's not designed for use as a weapons platform (there is no ability to determine threats or potential targets), nor for usage on other planets -- all of the vehicles make use of GPS to some degree (they can operate without, but are handicapped) and we don't exactly have constellations of sats flying around any other stellar bodies.
Not yet anyway: Red Planet Wayfinder: A GPS System for Mars. Don't think these guys (meaning the current US administration) aren't going to weaponize everything they can get their hands on.
This doesn't even make any sense!!! Its a free library (i.e. not harder on your wallet) and is based on the same technologies that Google Maps and GMail are, so how is it more vulnerable?
Got some backup on the 90% are morons stat? How about 90% of programmers targeting Microsoft platforms don't care about jizzing over their l33tness and want to create a product that sucessfully competes in the marketplace?
The real quote that resonates with your average corporate IT department is:
"Open source software is like handing you a doctor's bag and the architectural plans for a hospital and saying, 'Hey dude, if you have a heart attack, here are all the tools you need--and it's free,'" McVoy says. "I'd rather pay someone to take care of me."
IT guys get paid to do a job. They have more money than time. It doesn't matter how l33t your solution is. Without an easy installer, quick start directions, reasonable defaults, and a good enterprise deployment story, it'll never go anywhere. And that that shit sucks to write. Not fun. Sucks.
No, Microsoft Research has a free product that allows you to do multisite real-time video conferencing, along with the ability to simultaneously run a shared application (like PowerPoint) that would show the questions.
I figured if the original poster was handy enough to figure out how to post on/. then he could make the leap on how to use a product like this to achieve his goal.
Maybe if I had mentioned that it was MSR, not "M$", and that source was available the suggestion would have been better recieved?
You don't know what any of these programs are sending, or how often they send it.
Of course you do. Check out TCPView to when/if connections are being made, then use anyof a dozen freely available packet sniffers to see what they're sending.
What is the purpose of measuring the number of unsuccessful attacks, and making note after note about it in the abstract? (Yes, unfortunately I RTFA)
This seems bizarre, no?
And by what method did they determine the 1, 2 & 3 systems? None of them were sucessfully attacked.

Quick sanity check:
1280 x 720 = 921600 pixels per frame
921600 x 60 frames per second = 55,296,000 pixels per second
55296000 x 3 bytes per pixel (for color - 8-bit 4:4:4 YUV encoding) = 165,888,000 B/s = 158MB/s
You'd need 4:1 compression just for the video (more if you wanted 10 bit color), never mind the 9.6 MB/s you'd need for MLP encoded lossless audio.

It was a time long-long ago, son.
We called it 'The 90s'

How is the parent not flamebait? Score:3?

So you're opposed to AJAX in general? None of this stuff (Google Maps, the cool features of GMail) work without Javascript.
RTFA: "It will work across any Web browser that supports AJAX technologies."

This is exactly the point ESR was trying to make about CUPS
Incompatible ways, like having a documented SOAP interface to their mapping product for several years? Or maybe hacking crappy client-side javascript is the 'superior compatible' way.
Massachusetts is not a State. Its a Commonwealth. Along with Pennsylvania, Kentucky and Virginia.
Not funny - awesome. This needs to happen. EA should be able to get this done in a week or two the way they slave drive people over there.

Microsoft's ConferenceXP is designed to do exactly this.
Never mind the topless bars also now make you leave your camera phone in your car.
- When does campaigning stop?
- How do you exit poll across a two week span? (which with no paper trail, seems to be the only way to even kinda-verify the results)
- Will there be daily backups of the systems?
Seems like a recipe for a whole new set of disasters.Of course you do. Check out TCPView to when/if connections are being made, then use any of a dozen freely available packet sniffers to see what they're sending.
I figure the Bush administration for more of a 'God Mode' crowd.
I didn't realize Compton has secured wireless networks...
Yeah, screw them and their new products! If only they would stop releasing any product the world would be such a better place.
Having read this book in hardcover I can't imagine it being much fun at all in audio format.
1/2 of the jokes are visual.
