Microsoft's next buzzword prevealed:

Post #24,685 by CRConrad 1/17/02 5:35:09 AM 1/17/02 5:39:32 AM Reply	Microsoft's next buzzword prevealed: In [link\|http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/23715.html\|MS' highest priority must be security - Billg] (The Rogister), Thomas Greene quotes a memo from His Billness. Greene doesn't mention it in his prelude, and billge never explicitly says so -- but it's fairly obvious from the way he consistently capitalizes the phrase, that "Trustworthy Computing" will be the next slogan to be repeated ad nauseam out of Redmond. Mark my words; if it isn't, I'll eat my hat. If it is, you read it here first. Oh, and as Ashton has so often reminded us, this is the classic Goebbels technique so favoured by (because it's been so successful for) the Empire: Make the lie outrageous enough, and repeat it often enough, and people will buy it. Anybody wanna bet they'll be repeating it REAL often? [Edit - addition:] Oh yeah, "prevealed"? I made it up, to mean revealed / previewed; "pre-revealed". Christian R.

Remember always: In the M$ Mission Statement (someone linked here, once) - there's an entire paragraph on Integrity. Will no one save us from this scourge... Ninja? Kamikaze? Scientologist? Paleoanthropologist?

That is how Trash TV shows stay on the air, and McDonalds and other fast foods selling food that is crap stay in business. Crap is King, and will continue to be King until the authority tells us otherwise. That is why things are made in other countries now, because they can make the same crap, only cheaper. Cheaper crap, whoever can make the cheaper crap comes out on top. Don't blame me, I didn't make the rules. My last employer wanted crap, not pristine and non-buggy quality code that I was putting out. They wanted it quick, and dirty, and buggy, in other words Crap Code. I may have lost my job, but at least I still have my pride and dignity. "Will code Visual BASIC for cash."
