Being the political oppritunist she is, she saw that so much of the American public voted very conservatively on moral issues and she's just taking up a position to be in line for the Presidency or Vice-Presidency next year.
She needs to move on to a different village and stop trying to raise my child.
Is she really the best the left has to offer? Liberals need to start getting Barack Obama ready for the big leagues or just resign themselves to dying with Hillary.
Why do people (funded by big business) make it so hard for us to give quality software away?
Jack Crack with some programming skills freely submits patches to the kernel. Why does this guy have to be subjected to this crap? What was his crime?
Kenneth Brown: "Every day, an untold amount (sic) of employees beholden to strict employee/invention/intellectual property agreements, in their spare time (and even during work-hours) freely give away ideas, code, and products to open source projects," he writes. This opens up questions around the legal ownership of contributions, and could even open an avenue for a "disgruntled employee" to give away company secrets by contributing them to open-source projects, the report argues.
He has no clue what he is talking about. Companies that hire OSS developers have contracts that state that all code written by that OSS developer for the software is released into the OSS world. Developers, companies, software managers have had this problem worked out for YEARS!
I'm glad that this stuff will only be interesting to geeks. Because they will see that it is just MS-funded propaganda and will only shed light on MS FUD tactics.
When the report is made public, I hope it is read and any good information can be used by OSS programmers and managers for future development. I mean, lets hear what they have to say and if there is anything reasonable, let's learn from it; but I doubt there will be much to learn.
As was pointed out in the OP, "open sores software" does give a clue to some bias. Did they think they would be able to maintain credibility after that? Even F/OSS advocates have learned that saying (writing) things like "M$" or "Windoze" has no place in a logical or professional debate.
Dave Massey: "IE in turn relies on Operating System functionality to do it's job. To be clear there are no Operating System APIs that IE uses that are not documented on MSDN as part of the platform SDK and available to other browsers and any other software that runs on Windows."
Really Dave? Great, so i can use Firefox for Windows updates?
'"If you test Red Hat against Solaris 10 against whatever else... we would say that Solaris 10 beats it hands down on functionality and everything else," said Hassell.'
That's Jim Hassell, managing director of Sun Microsystems Australia.
Bold statement, Jim, I've got one for you: "You're wrong (and teh gay)", said Damian.
From their TOS: YOU SHALL NOT...use the Yahoo! APIs to operate nuclear facilities...
There was an adage in the Air Force that all the written technical rules we had to follow (like "wearing a parachute or restraint harness near an open door is required when in flight") came from some poor sap not having the common sense to do these things on their own and dying or becoming disfigured in some stupendous manner.
I wonder if the same thing is true with Yahoo's TOS'.
Which level of "client" did he send this memo to? If it was to the "tech" POC, then they should be able to see through the BS, and he just looks like a fool for misrepresenting the facts.
Unfortunately, if he sent it to the clients' "purse string" departments, then his statements may have made a significant impact.
Standards-compliant code has very little to do with ranking well in any major search engine. As was already mentioned, search for some of the most competitive phrases, mesotheleomia, web hosting, search engine optimization, free porn, etc. You're likely to find that the majority are not standards-compliant, XHTML or otherwise.
Inbound links from high PageRank sites with your keywords in the anchor text are what will get your site ranking well in Google.
MSN and Yahoo are also very focused on inbound links, but put more weight on on-page factors than Google does (making them more likely to have spam ranking high in their results pages).

Next there will be a story about Linux dropping BitKeeper.
They look like the cast from Lean on Me.
She is a political hack. The only reason she has a job is because her husband likes to bang other women (often with tobacco products).
She needs to move on to a different village and stop trying to raise my child.
Is she really the best the left has to offer? Liberals need to start getting Barack Obama ready for the big leagues or just resign themselves to dying with Hillary.
Then Libertarians can come in and fix things.
It's about time we made those ICANN pigs pay for their crimes, eh commrades?
I think Neal should run on a platform of "More Porn, Less Spam".

New post today on Mark's blog indicates: "on january 28th, 2005, i was terminated from google. either directly or indirectly, my blog was the reason."
It's funny how when I read it now, the ironic tone seems painfully obvious...
Well, in addition to the http headers, it is an .asp site, so I'm thinking it's on a Windows machine.
Unfortunately, if he sent it to the clients' "purse string" departments, then his statements may have made a significant impact.
"Shabir: Hi, Nived", too funny!

Interestingly, their website is hosted on a Windows box.
