Jeff,
I went to slashdot.org to read the story.
There was a historical referrence, in the beginning, that implies that I was accussing Microsoft of using Linux code. The reality was that I offered to help them with the solution I was working on because of the huge mess that the great taskfile debate brought out.
People were pointing out that because I was exposing how to abuse it in the kernel and that a policy of preventing harmfal combinations was not acceptable. Since this information could/would/did spill over to the script kiddies, I thought it was the better part of valor (sp) to inform an aquaintance at Microsoft of the potential problem that they could see.
Only because I respect that person (at MS) did I even consider discussing the issue.
If they want to take a jesture of kindness and twist it to imply I am blackmailing them, Bill's view of the world is very sinical (sp).
Cheers,
Andre Hedrick The Linux ATA/IDE guy
