schestowitzMicrosoft is actively colluding with the NSA. No software company has been quite as collaborative with the NSA as Microsoft has,e.g. in providing direct Skype access. But this is not the story which the media tends to tell; instead it focuses on companies like Facebook and GoogleNov 01 09:08

schestowitzMsft offers back doors at the operating systems level,not just the Internet/communications level;NSA as a whole has come to share a bed with Msft and this technology giant, Msft also receives payments for these abuses of privacy e.g.frm the CIA, based on clear disclosures (leaks)Nov 01 09:08

schestowitz"Art. 53(c) EPC prohibits the grant of European patents in respect of "methods for treatment of the human or animal body by surgery". The EPO Boards of Appeal recently had the opportunity to clarify the boundaries of this provision in a case involving a patent related to tooth replacement technology. Peter Ling provided highlights of the EPO Boards of Appeal’s decision."Nov 01 16:24

schestowitzI assume more than 20% of USians have had it already. We don't even know the death toll because HHS and others (FDA, CDC etc.) are manned by trump hacks, not scientists.Nov 01 21:26
