Ghostly threat to internet security
When the Ghost comes back to haunt you.
"Gates benefited enormously from the willingness of the government to ignore violations of anti-trust law during his rein at Microsoft. If he had tried the same business practices at other times, he might be going to prison rather retirement."

- bayareaguy 18y agoThis is a report about a vulnerability in Internet Explorer. It has nothing to do with Gates. The title is probably a human or software mistake.
- omouse 18y agoYou're right, /me flags it.
- Create 18y agoNow you know, how it feels to be cheated.
- omouse 18y agoHa. Ha. Ha. Not funny, unfortunately.
- Create 18y agoThis is no fun: it is dead serious. You are cheating yourselves. The following crowd of PG's self delusion of ~ creating wealth out of void is a fallacy: the tomatoes for his spaghetti and $ for Vulture Capital has to come from somewhere. Xobni, viaweb, Y! and alikes are "acquired" using money which is being literally extorted from institutions of state capitalism, colonies and client states. This is not "legal" per se, so the euphemism for this is "cheating". Tongue in cheek...
- bayareaguy 18y agoYou keep using that word "cheating". I do not think it means what you think it means.
- Create 18y agoThe problem of language (is it a learnt pattern or inherent?) brings us to some Necessary Illusions, which some believe is essential for building large systems. What I am saying, is that abstractions behind wealth transferring interfaces hide a great deal [in both sense]. Being naive about it or ignoring it is cheating yourself. Letting others getting away with cheating also makes you complicit, therefore you are back at cheating yourself.
