I'm not an engineer because of the money. If I were to make more money as a salesman, I would still be miserable. I'm an engineer because I love the challenge of applying science to create something.
Also, I don't work for salesmen. it's pretty much the other way around, since without the engineer there would be nothing to sell. That said, I work independently and don't really need a salesman to sell my services (and I still make a decent living).

Mozilla, for instance, just released Firefox 3.05 to Firefox users through its auto-update system.'"

I read the title and thought: "@esa is now following @riaa?" ...
I need to get out more.
Seriously, though, the letter does not mention any action to be taken, it's just a notification basically saying "we think you're doing this..." and nothing more.

Even wores, how many are actually doctored by their request to hide something "offensive" or otherwise?

Steve Ballmer has announced today that Microsoft's web properties (MSN, Live, etc.) will no longer use Yahoo!'s advertising services, and will instead use Microsoft's new advertising platform 'adCenter'.
