This guy made 400,000 per year at GS???!? I need a friggin' new job.

It does sound like a mistake, but I would have to see HOW MUCH code he bundled with the opensource he was uploading.

If I was GS, I would demand: NO OPEN SOURCE ALLOWED! Then there cannot be this sort of thing going on....

These are the same people who never saw the Wall Street collapse coming.

NO OPEN SOURCE ALLOWED!

You are wrong on this one, Laz. Everything I write is open-source, and that goes into the indemnification that I require prospective employers to sign.

The problem isn't open-source, it's scumbag people that don't understand or follow the NDAs.

I'm a big proponent of intellectual property, and don't steal music, songs, or software. I'm also not allowing anyone to take what I create without an agreement on payment.

They saw it coming. They shorted the companies that they sold their garbage securities to.

If they were so prescient, why did so many go belly up, and none make it through unscathed?

The apologists here for wall street (small ws) are amazing.

You'd pretty much cripple your internal network, access to outside networks, and the web services your company would use.

Many didn’t see it...they were too close to it, or just too stupid. Goldman Sachs did see it though. They needed no bailout, and tried to refuse it. They have already paid back the 10 billion they were forced to take with interest.

open-source is evil.

Only compiled, serverside C#.NET, ASP.NET, and Silverlight is worth a damn.

The closest I ever get to open-source is JavaScript and AJAX. ;)

Not sure about the network stuff, but my understanding of consuming web services is, they are language agnostic. As long as you offer me decent XML in a SOAP package, I could care less if you wrote it in COBOL.

But the web server is probably open source.

Ohhh kay...... I'll just step back now, hands in the air, not making sudden moves.

Who are you and how much to ransom Laz? (intellectual curiosity, I'm not going to spend a farthing or guilder.)

Is there a B&D forum on FR? Or does this get moved to religion?

Have they repaid the $13 billion that Paulson laundered for them through AIG?
