Yes, Microsoft is the parent company. Of course, the smaller company that still runs the day to day operations of Skype can still make poor choices without Microsoft's consent.
What? Why? The question was "Do companies really use this site for non-piracy?" I answered: "Yes. I worked for one." and you're trying to insinuate that unless the data was classified "important" (to who?) that the example makes no sense? To who? You?
Your grammar Nazism aside; sure. However the examples given by the person I was replying to are downright silly. Why wouldn't you have a notepad application on a tablet, or a file system browser, seriously?
Regardless of what they make, that doesn't make their contribution any less of a good thing. I'm not implying that's what you're saying but I see that kind of logic a lot here. "X makes Y billions -- it doesn't count if they don't donate Z billions!"
No one said anything about it being particularly valuable data, or on their server for more than a short time. In our case, it was mostly just big files we needed to share with our overseas branches in Japan or Europe. It's not as though we would upload it and forget it. Once the other studios got the files, they were removed.
Carrier pigeons could fly at a speed of a mile a minute. They were very good at subtlety sending messages far behind enemy lines, and radios were not impervious to interception. The likelihood of the Germans shooting down carrier pigeons and intercepting their messages is not very high.
"Do No Evil" was tailored to their internal workforce, and it leaked out, I'm sure much to Google's detriment these days. It was not a public slogan. Think Different was actually marketing speak.
It's not hipsterish, it's just annoying when you can only read a tiny amount of vertical lines for one file and there's tons of wasted space to the right unless you have two files side by side. Even then most setups I've seen have had multiple displays so the need to shove everything into one screen isn't necessary.
Some bad cops are brought to justice. Especially the ones whose incidents can't be spun into something noble or righteous, or just swept under the table.
Not all cops are bad people, but it's a far cry to say that all or even most bad cops are actually brought to justice for their massive perversion of the law.
One exception doesn't prove the rule. It doesn't take long to find many examples of obvious situations where a cop should be in jail but never makes it that far.

No, it really shouldn't read that way.

Yeah! Functionality be damned! Even though all of those combined takes less than a meg of space! We want less options, Microsoft! Less!
I said he, no one else. The headline isn't relevant to what I said.
He never even said this was strictly an apple issue.
Get back in the terminal and stay there.

You think that because you can ultimately kill yourself with carbon monoxide that terminally ill patients actually want to go that way?
They might as well put a bullet in their temple.
The whole point is for a peaceful, clean death with as little pain as possible.

Everybody meet Buzz Killington.
Yes, really. I worked for one a few years ago.
So is my car no longer my property once I pay a valet to park it for me in a private lot of some third party?

And that has what exactly to do with the topic at hand?

One person isn't saying both things.
You can't just turn off Firefox downloads either. They have a website people could easily download from.
Like everything else in the world, Microsoft's detection isn't perfect.
I might similarly presume that you're really the only person on Slashdot who bothered to install a barcode reader into their smartphone.
You really don't know how someone could ask for something before it was actually created?
Really?
You don't have to look very hard.
