First Microsoft agrees to reveal Windows source code to government agencies, headline
here.
Russia was on the list to receive the source code. Obviously, the persons at Microsoft who made the decision to share source code with Russians didn't think things through... what did they think would happen?? I think that
this was the logical conclusion to their choice to share with Russians and
Indians and, frankly any government. It is a different culture. Everything can be bought or bribed.... your precious source code is no exception. So you can run around trying to prevent Americans from getting a hold of it... fine. But the exploit code is going to keep rolling in from over seas and there won't be a thing you can do to stop it or protect your customers from it. Thankfully I can sit back and enjoy the show since I own a Macintosh.
Riding the bus to Stillwater yesterday made me nauseous. I was late waking after a late night working and I had an empty stomach, but the thing that really upset my comfort was the heat. The bus driver had the heater roaring; I hate being indiscriminately subjected to the temperature preferences of others, especially when they lay at extremes. This is one of the reasons I cannot stand working in office buildings. The nazi in control of the climate ensures that you could make ice cubes on desk in the spring time and that you could boil water in a pan without a stove at the first hint of fall. Why?? Three words: Fuzzy-logic temperature control.
