I thought this [from a SAP stalwart] was a little paranoid …..

…… and it wasn’t helped by the fact that even then it still didn’t do what it said on the tin.

Needless to say, it just proved their needs to be no match to my own.

“Maybe they just want to sell it to Microsoft for a big bag of money.”

If there’s astute Celtic blood coursing through their veins, then licensing it to Microsoft for bags of big money would have them sitting pretty and feeling on top of the world.

And with careful tweaking/tuning of the search algorithm, in order to deliver outstanding lead content, can easily ensure that Novel Information Leads Future Direction ….. which would be Real Cool Cuil …… although paradoxically, it would be AIRed Hot XXXX dDevelopment ReSearch and Product Placement.

Are they Planning a Simply Cuil Cloud Complex to lay waste to mouldy G.C.H.E.E.S.E. and the Fuddy Duddy. As we know, cheese is one of those new fangled, entangled string fuels for Upper Crust Echelons ……. http://www.itwire.com/content/view/19179/1066/

Or is that something which is always in Locked and Secure Beta AIR&dD and therefore Intellectual Property which need not necessarily be discussed and/or revealed until such times as they have IT sussed or choose to XXXXPose.

Seems like a Good Plan ….. and for anyone capable of sitting on top of the world and feeling pretty ….. a Godsend ……. although Really, it is just IT and AI conspiring 42 EduTain you, Virtually……. with AIRange of Network InterNetworking RobotIQs to Capture the Living Soul and Process ITs Imagination into Beta CyberIntelAIgent Leads Transparently Shared Steganographically with Much SMARTer Leaderships.

Way to Go, Cuil. amfM HyperRadioProActivity Seconds that NEUKlearer Quantum Leap Path.

“Was there content in this article? It was hard to tell in amongst the author’s bed-wetting inferiority complex.” …. By Andrew Posted Monday 28th July 2008 23:26 GMT

More than just a little, Andrew, … and judging by the comments, much appreciated.

And then there are also all those submissions, cored in other tangents, which are not displayed in the thread/lying on the cutting room floor.

“I see a lot of words, but not much content. What exactly are you trying to say? In English this time, perhaps?” ….. By Tim Spence Posted Tuesday 29th July 2008 08:39 GMT

Actually, Tim, it is the exact opposite, with a lot of content, but not many words.

And it is a lament at Uncle Sam’s Sub Prime Global performance, even when/should it be based upon their clandestine phishing operations through the ubiquitous Windows portal….. which is a most outrageous suggestion which can so easily hide the truth.

And it also expresses Optimism for an Enigmatic Teutonic Variation.

“As I read this article I realised .. Just how little it is possible to care about something” … By Colin Millar Posted Tuesday 29th July 2008 12:31 GMT

Proof Positive, Colin, that Life is AIdDream in One’s Own Invention and never in Contention unless IT is Shared Wwwidely?

Which makes Media, at least an Accessory, both before and after the Fact for the Reality that they Share/Pimp and the Future that IT Spawns…….. although whether that would excuse a Fool and Pathetic Bully’s 45 minutes claim to help justify a War for the Relativity of 15 minutes of Shameful Dodgy Bastard Fame, is something which the System has failed deliberately to address …. and thus is the System and its IT and Media Control of the Management of Perception, subsequently and presently failing.

But don’t just take my word for it, shooting yourself in the foot if you are prone to shooting the messenger, for it is well enough known. Here you can read El Reg White Knight, Andrew Orlowski, highlighting the meme ….. http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2007/apr/05/newmedia.guardianweeklytechnologysection

Way to Go, El Reg ……. IT is the Way 42 Lead with AI Following.?!

“Russo said that despite the telco’s glaring losses, she was pleased with the progress Alcatel-Lucent was making. However, she added she felt it was the right time to quit. “The company will benefit from new leadership aligned with a newly composed board to bring a fresh and independent perspective that will take Alcatel-Lucent to its next level of growth and development in a rapidly changing global market,” she said.

“The merger phase is now behind us,” said Tchuruk. “I am proud that Alcatel-Lucent has become a world leader in a technology which is transforming our society. It is now time that the company acquires a personality of its own, independent from its two predecessors. The board must also evolve and the chairman should give the first example, which I have decided to do.”

The French-American networking group, which has been undergoing a painful cost-cutting strategy to slash 4,000 global jobs in an attempt to pull the company out of the red, said in February that its outlook was bleak.®”

Yes, well, and black is white.  Russo and Tchuruk, the Eric and Ernie of Spotless Spin.

“By sending a specially-malformed HTTP POST request attackers might be able to assault vulnerable systems without needing either user names or passwords, an alert on the bug by IBM’s X-force security division warns.”

And then there is also the ZerodDay Opportunist, the Yin of that Negative Yang, who would be into sending especially-informed HTTP POSTs, which may or may not be requests for anything.

Some would posit that nothing is random, Mark. And waste no time or effort in arguing the point. Life is just too short to argue about IT.

Spookily enough, that would then render random number generation for security, a bit of an impossibility.

Thanks for the heat, Paris.

“The government will try to enact some sort of censorship,” says Oleg Panfilov ….”That’s just the way it is. Our government does not know any other way to act.”

That’s easily fixed though with and by someone who knows other ways to act.
