Netscape, 1998: "And I keep thinking to myself, Microsoft is going to pay some jackass lawyer $200 and hour to find out that we hate our cafeteria food, don't like the security posters, had a sucky newsfeed, and think ``Navigator'' was a cooler name than ``Communicator''." [1]
Just because you don't think you have anything interesting doesn't mean a competitor isn't going to subpoena it years later.

- tomglynch 7y agoThat is very funny!
- bdcravens 7y agolol yeah, opening link in Incognito bypasses that.
- PhasmaFelis 7y agoHow amusingly childish! Edit: That was before I read the article. He rants, with apparent sincerity, about the politically correct losers who thought that having an official, internal anything-goes-flamefest vent forum was a bad idea; describes how he went to great lengths to preserve it; finds out exactly why it really was a bad idea (it got subpoenaed so Microsoft could rake it for dirt); and then rants about that. At no point does he show any awareness of the irony. What a guy.
