The other problem is of much greater concern to me, there have been over 30 processes identified that report information back to MS without user intervention, knowledge or consent. The fact that these exist, what they report, and what is done with that information is simply not information that MS deems that we need to know, so we are not told. This is also unacceptable. A year later, my two biggest concerns, that MS can shut me down on a whim, and that they can take any or all of my data without me knowing or being able to stop it are still unacceptable. I can't see how any CxO in good conscience can run this software, much less put anything even remotely considered mission critical on it. Do they just not get the risks, are they abjectly stupid, or were they bought off? Judging from the absurdly low adoption and, for MS, scary high downgrade numbers, the majority seem to agree with me.
Ferguson calls the tune for party
And don't DARE drag decent people who wouldn't dream of bringing religion into football on to your side, because we wouldn't dream of wanting to have anything in common with you.

Watch "The O'Reilly Factor" weeknights at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET and listen to the "Radio Factor!" BILL O'REILLY, HOST: Now for the top story tonight: analysis of the [McCain-New York Times] situation. Joining us from Washington is former White House spokesman Tony Snow. What do you think? TONY SNOW, FORMER WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: You know, I think you're absolutely right. It's unbelievably sloppy.

And furthermore, what you didn't mention, Bob Bennett, his attorney, has pointed out that they submitted 30 or 40 pages of answers to written questions.
9th ward activist to be sentenced in mortgage scam
Robert Green, who became a symbol of suffering and resilience in the Lower 9th Ward after Hurricane Katrina, will be sentenced in federal court Wednesday for his role in a house-flipping scam before the 2005 storm. Green's personal experience when floodwaters poured into his neighborhood through a break in a levee has become emblematic of the misery many others suffered: his home was destroyed and he lost two family members: his 73 year-old mother and a 3 year-old granddaughter. But according to federal prosecutors -- and by his own admission in a guilty plea last spring -- Green used his skills as a preparer of income tax returns to help further a scheme that left the federal government responsible for paying off hundreds of thousands of dollars in home mortgages defaulted on by borrowers who used false tax returns prepared by Green to qualify for federally insured loans.

I suggest you grow up, this article has let down the whole site.
