    Ps. Allchin on "A senior Microsoft Corp. executive."



    A senior Microsoft Corp. executive told a federal court last week that sharing information with competitors could damage national security and even threaten the U.S. war effort in Afghanistan. He later acknowledged that some Microsoft code was so flawed it could not be safely disclosed.




    During his second day on the stand, Allchin conceded that Microsoft has already identified at least one protocol and two APIs that it plans to withhold from public disclosure under the security carve-out.


    The protocol, which is part of Message Queuing, contains a coding mistake that would threaten the security of enterprise systems using it if it were disclosed, Allchin said.


    When pressed for further details, Allchin said he did not want to offer specifics because Microsoft is trying to work on its reputation regarding security. "The fact that I even mentioned the Message Queuing thing bothers me," he said.

    Dude that's irrelevant. Masked cursing in Thread Titles is uncalled for.

    ...and before you go off on another one no it wasn't me that changed it.

    A friendly word of advice, please re-think your current attitude to the way you're posting here. It's not been overlooked. Ok?

    Thanks.

    sorry dude... but you could also see the humoristic side of it!
    and i did ******** out the main parts of it so you don't know what i said anyway... you can just replace the *******'s with whatever letters you want!!! and that's probably the first BT thread ever to have *****'s in the title!!! :worried:

    its not the point mate, I wasn't sure what it was meant to be (and i wasnt the one who censored it) but remember younger kids could be browsing these forums and it may upset them (you never know)


    I nearly changed it but I didn't.


    :yawn:

    Thanks for the offer... but I really hate coding!

    I`m not too bad at it, but it really bores me to death... I can positively tell you now, that I will not be getting a job in programming. Maybe I`ll stretch to as far as web design/coding, but thats fairly easy and no stress on the brain ;)

    /me does a little dance for the quad-double-nelson :p :D :dude:

    yes 2222 posts! muwhahahahaha!!! :dude: :dude:
