"Is it possible we can blame a lot of the Windows mess on Bill Gates' inferior programming skills?".... By RW Posted Friday 13th February 2009 01:27 GMT

RW,

I think you will find that Bill has always said he is first and foremost a businessman, so one cannot really blame the Windows mess on his inferior programming skills, but more accurately on his sub-prime business acumen...... and things appear to have changed not a jot on the Microsoft bridge even Bill has supposedly moved on to better things.

NSA offering 'billions' for Skype eavesdrop solution

amanfromMars Silver badge

If I was a rich text man/Texan ...... Oliver North type

"We asked the NSA for comment, particularly on the idea of simply buying a way into Skype, but hadn't yet received a response as of publication."

The simplest, quickest and most effective way of purchasing/leveraging of what you want .....from the Intellectual Property owner/head honcho, of course. And money well spent too.

And with regard to " but hadn't yet received a response as of publication." . what would one expect from No Such Agency [practising Stealthy Intelligent Steganographics]

Invariably whatever you think to be true is false, and therefore Skype is well hacked and thus a convenient spooky tracker for Uncle Sam.

AC,

Like so many who retire from the active field, having reached as far as they are ever going to go, and usually with the pension secured, they find a brave sensible voice rather than using the one which pays them to spin stuff and nonsense to keep the Ponzis on the rails. The sad bad bit though is that their friends and colleagues are considered so easily expendable, just so much collateral damage to be accepted and forgotten and ignored for the greater good of a false story to maintain the old boy networks which profit from Systemic Abuse

And have they any Controls in the CyberSpace realm which so easily can render their other efforts wasted and completely unnecessary or is that MI5 territory, although one would have thought that Virtual Landscaping for the Better Beta Management of Perception was a Prime Facility to be made available/accessible to all who would have any need of it.

As you can probably deduce, I am underwhelmed at their pedestrian performance in a stellar field and even more so that they would not see the Intelligence Deficit themselves. It does make a mockery of all of the supposed high tech electronic monitoring of communications which is supposed to render the future picture to them and yet may only be used as more of a tool for entrapment than sublime leadership ....... which incidentally is what IT can do and do QuITe Effortlessly whenever you know what to do and how to do IT.

And whenever such Facility exists, and is studiously ignored in one Service/Nation, will it naturally migrate elsewhere for alternate consideration.

"is there a way .... to completly screw with phorm yet ???" ..... By Lionel Baden Posted Tuesday 10th February 2009 16:51 GMT

Yes, there is, Lionel. And a great ride it is, too. And the beauty of the program is that there is nothing they can do about it because in ALL cases [and yes, I did shout ALL] they will not know they are being completely screwed and beta groomed.

And as for BT, well here is a very current true tale of their expertise and customer service.

Someone I know, owns a nice hotel but it didn't provide Internet [wireless] access to guests. I mentioned that nowadays most businessmen and guests would always look for a hotel which provided easy Internet access, and with a wifi router, it would be practically supplied for next to nothing, and it would really please any guests who use the Internet for whatever reason, be it business or pleasure/business and pleasure, as well as capturing all those who would have looked elsewhere whenever they discovered that such a simple service was not provided.

And BT's answer/solution [to a hotel owner who is not into the Internet but who wanted to ensure that they were not disadvantaged]? Well, just across the road there is a BTOpenZone hot spot, and on purchase of a £10 voucher from reception, guests can move to a spot at the front of the hotel where they can pick up reception.

Which must be one of the laziest BT scams ever, preying on the Internet Illiterati ...... but so very typical of their methodology? Or do you know better/worse?

Oh ... Sorry, does that not suit the hunter/killer element of dumb fellow animals. ZHeroes of the Plain.

"I'm seriously worried about the possibility that it might be running all that stuff under itself that, if I had a clue, I could play with stuff and break it.

The Beauty of Linux is that you can play with stuff and if you are going to break anything you are given a DOS Notice... a Virtual Warning akin to the earlier D Notice/National Security Letters arrangement used internally by Paper Medium Nations.
