I can't help but notice that nothing in the above mentions anything about Microsoft product quality. Are we to assume by this that their API will be just as dysfunctional for older browser versions as it is for modern ones?
I wonder: What sort of license would he have to get for his "punishment OS"? Do you think the government will splurge for a copy of Windows ME (home edition)?
Web designers should do a good long bout of coding before they sit down to design a site - it would save everyone in the team a lot of trouble. Also, a bit more attention should be paid to ergonomics - web browsing remains instinctive (big red button marked "here"! Oh, click click! Underline == link! Just what is that menu doing and where will it take me?) and design should be steeped more in that than... design itself.
I agree with the above - good design is a mix of all web trades (namely design (layout) and server-side mechanics), and each should know each other's at least to a trifling degree... or undertake the horrible, horrible task of doing it all themselves. At least it will be an education in the end.
If supplying energy was the problem, I don't see why we can't have in-road electric (third) rail systems or something of the like. Hell, the whole thing could be automated to boot ([computer]: "Hello, where do you want to go? Hop in!"). We have the technology, don't we?
It's not only the oil companies manufacturer innovation down, I'd say that insurance companies have a hand in there too. Minimal accidents and risks for the same? Say the shareholders: "No, thanks!"
I won't subscribe to any argument about how much a successful artist "needs" the profits his work generate, but I can confirm his right to the same - although it should be the artist himself who decides, not the record company.
In my mind, a reasonable copyright length would be the artist's lifespan - and a fixed amount of time after if the same so chooses. Let the creator decide what to do with his own work, and stop the record labels from trying to make a living off the dead.
Amazing, the number of "anonymous coward" Mac-flamers jumped onto this thread. I sense years of silent seething.
I have to agree with the above though - why make such a grandiose announcement about an exploit... that's incomplete? Were all the publicity for the product itself, one serious about his work would wait for confirmed operability before "unleashing" the news into the world. Yet all of the information in the article is vague... and it misses this little tidbit: You have to know an exploit before you can make a worm to attack it.
This guy may just be trying to sell (parade) his abilities as a "security" programmer. Generate enough of a buzz about who you are and what you do, and the product you're selling can quickly become secondary. Even if it doesn't work.
Yes, then we can speculate on exactly how qualified each scientist collecting the data was over the past two hundred years, and, oh, why not dig up some naughty goods on the worst of them, and through the press present the same as foremost examples of the scientific community "for" the question of global warming. This should bury/confuse/delay the real question for a year at least with every press release.
This is "Spin à la Rove" at its (cough) best - and people are swallowing it until they learn better. Yet the only people who are actively denying that the earth is getting warmer are those feeling pressed to defend their (real or imagined) privileged position in the economic food chain.
Wait wait wait wait - MS gives their software for free - at least it's free from the point of view of anyone buying a windows pre-installed computer. THAT is where the large user base comes from - first-time users!
So, from here on, Massachusetts residents are obliged by law to make money for a profit-oriented company (that may or may not actually cover their ailments).

Don't you mean "squirted"?

Is there a Paris /. party in the works? Who's game?

...not to mention "canidates". Just poking : )

Especially when they're the ones who sunk it.
Microsoft owes its monopoly to a few words:
Shipped. Pre-installed. To. Hook. First-time. Computer. Users.
Thankfully the western world's "computer ignorance" age is coming to an end - which is why MS has set their sights on developing countries today.

Lord. Now I just imagined a virus that "hijacks" the family car and makes them all go to McDonald's.
...it's more that likely those most interested in tweaking the system have already got the keys.

Of course! But cite me, please : )
Er... I was thinking something more "Preparation H".

No, they sell tupperware. My mis- er, whatever. Sorry!
No; tupperware.

Wow, that's progress.
...now will this 'got 'em on with the book, there's no escape' confrontation fizzle out as well into media nothingness?
...got them!
