Outstanding! I felt exactly the same way when I read about this. Good on your community for standing up to TWC - big corporations have way too much power when it comes to manipulating our government and I love it when they get shot down. Fornicate with a goat, I love it...

As much as I hate MS, WTF are they pursued for anti-trust so much of the time? If anyone needs to be sued/slammed for antitrust, it's Time Warner who is clearly, blatantly making antitrust moves with their bandwidth tiered pricing. So what if MS doesn't bundle other browsers, it's all free anyway. The consumer is free to do whatever the hell they want after they purchase a product - install any browser, software, etc. It's one thing if MS codes their OS so other software not produced by MS will not run - THAT's antitrust. Kind of like Time Warner or Comcast charging extra when you want to pull competing content in on a medium they can't control...

That's not how security hacks work. Security through obscurity does not provide any sort security whatsoever so "unfixed" bugs being known to crackers doesn't make any difference. If Microsoft invalidated XP keys, that would kill them because of the bad press. Would never happen.

They are not ridiculous at all. Time Warner is trying to shut out competition by putting caps in place and charging for exceeding those caps. They are trying to compete with Netflix, Apple Movie, etc and by charging for bandwidth, they make those other services unattractive because of the cost involved. Since TW owns the lines, they can push out their own content and no one pays, but pulling in content over the web, they cannot control except by charging for it. We (as humans) have the technological capability to bring high-speed Internet to practically everywhere on the planet. Here in the US we do not do that because the good of the people comes secondary to the good of the corporations. Always has, always will because money is involved and here the corporations run the country. Sad yes, but unfortunately true.

My name is leeeeeegions for we are maaaaaaany....

The ability to see and evaluate source code is in no way, shape or form related to the ability to write malware. The entire Opensource development concept is a living, breathing example of this concept. Microsoft proves on a daily basis that "security through obscurity" does not work.

Microsoft has support?
