schestowitz[TR2]“Great list. I did my top 3 in another reply. Halo, Valheim, 007. It's been a long time since I played Chrono Trigger. Have you done every ending?  Thanks for all the detail. I appreciate it a ton.”"Feb 22 05:18
schestowitz[TR2]"Lunduke: Microsoft has a history of racist hiring practices.  I don’t like racist hiring practices.  Here’s a personal anecdote of when I (and others) were discriminated against, based on our ethnicity, at Microsoft.Feb 22 05:20

schestowitz[TR2], responding to Lunduke: “This is the most racist f**king thing I’ve ever read my entire life you piece of human garbage.”""Feb 22 05:20
schestowitz[TR2]"I’ve seen many people suggest that Asha Sharma being appointed to be the VP of Xbox was done by Microsoft’s Board of Directors.Feb 22 05:20
schestowitz[TR2]While that is theoretically possible, it seems highly unlikely.Feb 22 05:20
schestowitz[TR2]Historically at the company, transfers and promotions like this (Asha Sharma was already a Microsoft employee) are driven and approved by the hiring manager.  Which, in this case would be Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella.Feb 22 05:20
schestowitz[TR2]The Board stepping in to force Nadella to make this move would be highly unusual for Microsoft.  Even at the VP level."Feb 22 05:20

schestowitz[TR2]"Your comment brings me once more to stress the specific position of the EPC and the EPO in the patent monopoly world. <br /><br />The EPC has been built on the ruins of four earlier European patent monopoly convention drafts under what was called then the European Community, now the EU. Those four drafts would have led to a closed convention as it"Feb 22 13:09
