Yes, quite! And to the fellow who is concerned about what he should call it, it'd be a B.U.M. Most shirts are quite comfortable feeling their way around a B.U.M., so problem solved!:)
But isn't most of the content of the article highly cliched at this stage in the game.
Surely it doesn't take a "Ph.D., D.Sc.(h.c.), FAAAS, FACM, FIEEE, CISSP (h.c.)" (in the European style!) to point out these issues. Most of it seemed like straightforward, common sense issues dressed up in pseudo-academic-speak.
... how to keep a web server running while it gets knocked about a bit by the/. crowd. The minions in the Purdue IT Dept might benefit from that:) That box isn't answering HTTP reqests - wonder why?:)
Hey, I was the first to think of patenting thoughts! Watch out underlings of the Justice Department, I plan to unleash a rabid, underfed pack of IP lawyers on you very soon.:)
Ah yes, good point (I made those analogies partly tongue-in-cheek - come now, where is your "fight-the-good-fight-at-all-costs fervour, my man?) So, sensu lato, MicroSlop are trying to (at best) limit the annoyance of a phenomenom their "negligence" helped spawn. Or to be even more cynical, Microsoft are fearlessly championing a great cause to win over public support by defending us from the evils indirectly caused by... by... er... Microsoft.
Ah, but answer me this: does all spyware propagated through underlying flaws in the OS? Methinks not, my friend. I would posit that a good deal of spyware is disseminated through end-user ignorance and indiscriminate clicking - and it doesn't matter how many Stanford/Cambridge/Bombay educated heads you knock together, you'll not solve or eliminate that problem, my man!
Do they mean the same way that SQL Server put Oracle out? And Windows 200 killed Linux? Come, come - what utter twaddle. The "spyware/piss-you-off-ware" concocters will just shift paradigm.

Fresh stuff in a Starbucks? Are you kidding me? :)
As soon as Webaroo possess a sufficiently strong scent to said pack of rabid lawyers? Startups are largely skin and bones, slender pickings :)
For example, where do we get the porn diffs?
My friend, your lacklustre rants are not going to change a thing. As you say, "get over it already" :)
Just how much of their business came from Google in the first place!
Too late! I have just filed a patent for the idea of *thinking* about inventing stuff! Huh! :-)

Typo? Where? You know, it's not just its capabilites they talk up ten fold ;)

As long as there are arseholes that need pampering, they'll continue to buy them, my friend!

Hey man, don't forget our failure to win the men's 1500m speed skating gold in Turin!
Why not contract an Indian company to write it? Or make it a Sourceforge project. That always seem to generate high-calibre, error-free code.
