Recruiters would reject an application from Steve Jobs to work at Apple, because he didn't have 20 years of experience in the smart phone field.
To be fair, his performance has fallen off quite a bit since he died.

There's no cost to releasing it to the public domain
Doubtful. Some code may have licensing issued preventing it, and even trying to sort that out could be time consuming and expensive.
Maybe there is code in there they still use in other products. Maybe they consider some proprietary and don't want to release it. Maybe it could reveal bugs in those current offerings. Maybe it is a mess they don't feel reflects well on the company? All of those could create costs for MS.

Keep hearing about it but mine hadn't switched. Checked the link and I get "Oops! You do not appear to have javascript enabled. Please switch to Slashdot Classic."
I temporarily enabled it and it was not worth it. Another reason to stick with no JS here since the current site works fine without it.

scotbuff writes "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention wrote an article about preparing for a zombie apocalypse on their blog. The CDC knows that a zombie apocalypse is no joke. Unfortunately following some mentions by the mainstream media the web servers hosting the blog appear to be struggling. Hopefully during a real zombie apocalypse the CDC servers fair better. A Slashdotting should provide the final headshot."

I don't think you know what "spurned" means:
1) Reject with disdain or contempt
2) Strike, tread, or push away with the foot
