'Phil Zimmermann has, unfortunately died. His company, Silent Circle, is currently looking for a new CEO... one who cannot be compro... comprom... (sorry... just can't type this with a straight face)... one whose morality is beyond compare...(snicker)

His company, Silent Circle, is now looking for Jesus as their CEO...... someone the NSA has not gotten to...(oh man, this is hilarious to type... Hey Joe, come read this stuff I'm typing in this guys obituary... it's incredible.... someone the NSA hasn't gotten to... good stuff here, man!'

Richard Stallman perhaps?

As a linux user, I liked Ballme... Ballmer (sorry).

You, sir, have ideas and I don't like it... not at all. Nope. Please do not hand your resume in to MSFT, and I hope you're not in contention for the 'chair' (if there are any left after Ballmer's tantrums). :)

Yes, but....

According to
http://news.netcraft.com/archives/category/web-server-survey/

The bulk of the changes in Apache and Microsoft web server market share this month can be attributed to a single hosting company: Go Daddy was previously hosting 25 million sites using Apache Traffic Server on Linux, but these are now served by Microsoft IIS 7.5. (Wonder how much they got from Microsoft to do that!... plus, they were all dormant accounts anyways)

It shows Microsoft servers have been losing ground steadily since 2008!

Amen Brother:

as well, the foundation will make a 'charitable donation' of computers to schools that can't afford them AND Microsoft will 'charitably' donate the software and operating system---
---with the stipulation that ONLY Microsoft approved software is used on these 'charitably' given computers.

Want to teach your students Linux? Nope.
Want to let them investigate LibreOffice? Nope.

This, people, is NOT CHARITY: it is a good business decision for both Bill and Ballmer, but it is not charity. Charity is: here are computers and here is software... do what you like with it all.

I would like to see 'Jenny' as the new Doctor... ...theoretically it is possible, because she was created from his DNA: she would, of course, not be the 'Jenny' we know and love and have not seen since that one episode left us hanging thinking we might see her again. She would be a 'new' Jenny and would have memories of the other Jenny, but would think the other Jenny dead of course.

Then the 2 Jennys could meet and kick Dalek butt in a movie called 'The good, the bad and the Dalek', or an X-rated film called 'Behind the Blue Door'

Yeah...... that's the ticket..............

It was the next day, brothers, and I had truly done my best, morning and afternoon, to play it their way and sit, like a horrorshow co-operative malchick, in the chair of torture, while they flashed nasty bits of ultra-violence on the screen. Though not on the soundtrack, my brothers. The only sound being music. Then I noticed in all my pain and sickness what music it was that like cracked and boomed - it was Ludwig van - Ninth Symphony, fourth movement.

Not exactly true; there are other factors.

Our son was born very premature, 2 lbs 12 oz. You could hold him in one hand. (He is a big strapping 13 year old now)

They are finding that there is a higher rate of autism in preemies compared to normal births. 'Decades' ago, there is a good chance he would not have survived, thus there is a higher incident of autism simply because preemies are surviving instead of dying.
