"A Google admin noticing they are being sniffed repeatedly by a Microsoft business IP would be kinda suspicious"

We always trash the liberal media for not telling both sides of the story.
I go back to my original question: Have you gone to Microsoft Research and challenged them on this "fact" of yours and gotten them to respond or not?

[Darksheare]

He's from DU, that's why he claims repeating something ad nauseum makes it true.

[Darksheare]

We?
The facts are there, and it was explained as simply as possible for your troll brain.
Again, do you know anything about ping ack packets and IP addies?

[K1avg]

Yikes, not too sure about the DU stuff - his other posts seem rather standard FR conservative fare. I think he just fails to realize that this is not a political issue.

[KwasiOwusu]

"Right-oh, Captain Barnabus. Unless, of course, you count the original article. The facts are right there, and the logical conclusion is drawn out. You've failed to disprove said logical conclusion. "

Nope.
Its like hearing the Prosecution in a court case and not hearing th Defense.
Those "facts" you talk about are just an anonymous post on an internet board.
What we need is to hear from Microsoft on the matter.
I bet they make your "facts" look like so much eyewash. :)

[Darksheare]

Considering his refusal to understand that when an IP sniffs your system taht you can trace that IP, and his refusal to accept that you can prove who's doing that, I'd say he's troll bait.

Bill Gates helps fund the UN Population Fund, which is involved in both forced sterlization and abortion as population control measures in Africa, India and South America.

[Darksheare]

Wrong.
This isn't court, and this isn't a case.
This is simple computer stuff.
It's been explained to you already.
You fail to read or accept it, one or the other.
Not our problem.
You should run along to some discussion you know something about.

[KwasiOwusu]

"The facts are there, and it was explained as simply as possible for your troll brain"

Hey, chill, will you?
Those are your facts.
Lets see what the accused (Microsoft) have t say on the matter.
We hear BOTH sides of any case before we make a judgment.
Can you do that?

Its like hearing the Prosecution in a court case and not hearing th Defense.

Since you seem to be the only one disagreeing here, I think it's reasonable to consider you "the Defense." All I can say is, we're waiting.

Those "facts" you talk about are just an anonymous post on an internet board.

Of course. That's how we know Jason Dowdell is the author.

What we need is to hear from Microsoft on the matter. I bet they make your "facts" look like so much eyewash.

Indeed. They'll fess up the same way Scott Peterson did.

MS is smart. No question about it. The only reason they haven't killed Apple is because they need them. However, when they put an MS search bar in Internet Explorer with the next release of Windows, and make the new version of IE completely incompatible with existing WWW html protocols, forcing web designers to break protocols for compatibility with the MS product, then claim that the problem is that Firefox, etc, are just incompatible browsers, they might be able to kill off Google, like they have many other companies.

To kill Google, they have to kill the browsers that have the Google search bar imbeded in them. Firefox is going to be the first target. Then Google.

[Knitebane]

I've posted numerous links to the facts of Bill Gates leftist leanings.

The article itself was a technical analysis.

You've provided nothing but hot air to discount either of them.

So, put up or shut up.

[Darksheare]

You're refusing to accept fact, and you're telling ME to chill?
That's laughable.
Never had someone so out of it say that before.

I'll jut bring some observers in to observe this thread and comment on their opinions.

[KwasiOwusu]

"This isn't court, and this isn't a case.
This is simple computer stuff"

You mean its "computer stuff" Ike the Justice Department case against Microsoft?
Or the Sun Microsystems case against Microsoft?
Or the Novel case against Microsoft?
Of course they are all computer stuff.
That till didn't prevent the judges from hearing BOTH sides of the case did it?

Firefox is open-source. If protocols change, they'll crank out a new compatible version in days.

Still, since IE is still embedded in Windows (although not nearly as deeply as before), Firefox will never be a major player.

Mhking is one of FR nicest members. Stick around and you will see so for yourself newbie.

[Billthedrill]

Some advice from an old-timer. This isn't a chat room, and chat room behavior doesn't go down here. Mhking is a long-time, respected poster who is not a shill for anyone. Many people post things on FR they do not necessarily believe in order to stimulate discussion, or to learn more about the topic. Attacking them only makes the attacker look foolish.

The quality of programming within a search engine has not necessarily a great deal to do with how its database is populated. Personally I doubt this story only because it would be a little blatant for even an amateur in the field. That does not take it outside the realm of civil discussion. Civil discussion. And that does not include "you did it first." Just my $0.02.

Welcome to FR.

ONCE AGAIN: WHEN AN IP ADDY SNIFFS YOUR SYSTEM, YOU CAN TRACE THAT ADDY.
Can you say the above with me?
TRRAaaaaace the ADDDEEEE.

Very good.
Now, the ip trace comes up to Microsoft.
Since Microsoft is launching it's own search engine soon, the IP sniffing is viewed as a no-no in the computer world.
That's like reading over someoen's shoulder.

This has nothing to do with courts or court jesters.
What part of that don't you understand yet?

[KwasiOwusu]

Gates has leftist leanings?
Who is arguing about that?
I refer you to my previous posts comparing Gates to Zell Miller, Ed Koch and Gilliani, who are both liberal and still backed Bush.

[K1avg]

That's like reading over someoen's shoulder.

And taking notes and publishing it under your own name...
