Comment Re:Blaming somebody else is not taking responsibil (Score 1) 215

I'm not saying that it didn't cost them anything, look at all the egg on the face. It did indeed cost them something. But they would have looked a lot better had they caught it on their own, and then pulled the site down. Getting caught, that's never good. Aren't you supposed to audit projects like that to make certain that this type of thing doesn't happen?

I have to agree on the point that MS definetely needs to step up their level of due diligence. Then I also ask myself why you would do business with a company that has a history of this behaviour. Doesn't anyone track and record what these sub-contractors do?(or is that like tracking a shoddy plumber?) Then MS did seem to get caught with the cookie jar again. When I was a child there were penalties for breaking rules. Come to think of it, there still are, unless you're a giant corporation it seems.

I'm sure the industry has probably made sizable contributions on the political front, exactly for this reason. Judging from the business practices in the past it sure won't stop anytime soon. It makes 'Payola' seem somewhat harmless. Of course that's just my $ 0.02.

That's like saying that your best match is someone who drinks the same brand of beer that you do.
People are best matched with other people that they can get along with and talk to, we all know this. Just because the DNA profile is similar doesn't mean that they will enjoy the same things. It's life experiences and how we respond and come through them that make us what we are.

They would be better off saying that they will match you with people who have a similar upraising. Even that raises flags though. Matching two people based on addictive or abused pasts would usually not be good for their children.

Face it, we are far better off just finding our own mates and leaving the corporations out of it.

Comment Corruption or complacency... (Score 5, Insightful) 176

Corruption may indeed be so common as to be considered the norm. It should never be viewed with complacency. Here is a man with morals and ethics who is speaking out. I for one would hope that his actions will bring about some kind of change for the better. The only given here is that it will be a long and hard fought battle on all fronts.
