No, that makes no sense. There are inherent risks in investing and the investors assume those risks. Stop creating yet another bureaucracy to manage the private companies that are too big to fail (and who is "too big to fail" anyway?). Just let them fail and lose their investment, then behaviors will change. Your approach continues to reward poor decision making.

And Pockets, don't forget to outlaw pockets! Poor Scottevest is now out of business, not only does he produce clothing with lots of pockets, he supports concealed carry. God bless Scott Jordan.

Thanks you for calling that BS what it was. I also learned all on my own with some books and self-purchased tools. And yes, the bias against white males is universal. I for one do not think we need to do some special programs to get more female programmers, hispanic managers, black quarterbacks, or white male hairdressers. I do think we need the best people in every area, need to level the opportunity field but not the results field (which always goes to the lowest point), and treat everybody with respect and fairness.

We have a lot of messy laws. I am trying to figure out how abortion is legal but if a person causes the death of a fetus in a car accident, etc. they can be charged with man slaughter.

But to be representative of the analogy, you have to add that you as the third party signed an agreement and swore under oath that certain information would be given to you that you would keep secret and not divulge to others, including information you do not agree with like the fact that the other party is cheating on his wife. You can go ahead and break that oath and agreement, and you may or may not be wrong, but you are certainly in play for legal action for breaking such an agreement.

I can only imagine the carnage this will do...ala songsmith another genius idea to generate art forms of some sort. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kxqMpGAL3I

Or even a bit more. Barak photocopies the diary as described and sets it out for all to see, and it has a lock and key, but not a very good one. And nobody except for Barak and a select few have a key. There is little accountability into when the key will be used, it could be a curious person who likes to feel power; or if they want to make it official, they go and see a FISA judge who is quick to agree, since he is part of the overall system fighting the enemy. A few months later Barak notes that a terrorist has popped up on the radar, and in the interest of national security he reads Michelle's diary from cover to cover. There is nothing in there about the terrorist, but he does note that she has a very close relationship with the gardner.

I do not think that has been possible because of the UEFI. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Linux-on-a-Microsoft-Surface-Tablet-Is-Nearly-Impossible-318152.shtml

They turned the display of the twitter feed off on their page; it was filled with comments saying they stole the work and they were unethical. But you can still enjoy the hate here: https://twitter.com/search?q=AdeccoUSA&src=typd

May sound silly, but if it supported a bluetooth mouse (I do not jailbreak but know I could and get this) I could use it much more effectively in two ways - easier to select text for copy/paste type operations, and when connected via RDP or VNC to another box I could have the full experience of that box. I would still use my iPad 90% of the time for browsing, email, etc. But if it had this and I added a BT keyboard it would get a lot more use.

Best comment here...by far.

I love virgin forests, it gives me wood

It will probably look like this! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MsComicChat.png

Good ol' chat.

It sounds like the list is pretty succinct and even I can understand it. FAT32 (which MS developed) ActiveSync, etc, Once again, if they could code around it, they would, right? I mean, why not?
