It wasn't always that way - there was a reason they got enough market share to start seeing dollar signs. As the GP said, they made an efficient, lightweight player back when the idea of streaming audio was brand new -- if they didn't invent the idea, they certainly made it popular.) I'll admit, though, that it didn't take them long to turn to the dark side.
I see very little spam in my inbox. That doesn't mean that the spam problem is solved. Filtering at the destination is better than nothing, but it is not a solution.
Which raises the question in my mind: Why is this about 'IT' bullies? I don't see anything here that restricts the situation to IT. This sort of exchange could happen in any discipline.
1. The support team manager tried to get info on the new version from the dev VP, who laughed at him. 2. See #1. 3. & 4. They used an established procedure to expedite support. The dev VP chose to ignore the call he had gotten on it.
Clearly the subject of the article is either a sociopathic asshole, or simply had it out for the author and was trying to get him to leave.
My first Mac experience was on an Atari ST, running the Spectre 128 Mac emulator. Had to come up with the OS on my own (not too hard - Apple let you download less than current versions) and the ROMs from a real Mac. Got those from a private party. The end result? Apple has gotten a LOT of my money over the years. I wouldn't call that a bad thing (for Steve).
Which means as long as there's time for an average person to slam on their brakes the instant they see the yellow (with no regard to traffic behind them), the goverment is golden.
Let's add telecommuting in there. There's nothing about the work I do that requires me to be in the office more than one day a week (aside from the mandate from management). I'm sure many people on the road with me are in the same situation.

Actually, I believe the definition of robbery requires the threat of violence.
gitmo is reserved for people the feds can't charge with an actual crime. This activity will send you to federal "pound-me-in-the-ass" prison.
Ummm, ignore that trailing slash. Retry

Don't Copy that PAPER TAPE!
So how does this work? The boss directs the thing to roll up behind you in your cube and tells you to put a cover page on your TPS reports?
Where'd you find that joke? Surely you can't makeup humor like that on your own.
So you've found evidence of tampering from the last presidential election...
Once you get rid of anonymity, then only the people can be compromised!
I would disagree, albeit slightly.
Illegal is defined by society via the law.
Immoral is defined by the individual.
I would agree that there is a distinction that is lost on many.
Sorry, only Apocolypse Pony for you....
I can see you aren't familiar with the smog inspection/vehicle retirement process in California.

I was actually a test subject. I have to say ... it's ... not ... dangerous! You ... all ... should ... try ... it. Domo arigato!
SQL Server's command line tool is isql (using DB-Lib connection). The equivalent ODBC tool is osql.
Hmmm. You think he came up with this himself?

Steve just wants control so he can ensure that you get an 'insanely great' product. He's a benevolent dictator, you see.

It's simple - they're all the same scam. The author is just varying the amount of detail so each paragraph doesn't read exactly like the previous one.
1. Gain the trust of an idiot.
2. Get them to send you money.
3. Profit!!!
