Halt and Catch Fire

You Are Not Safe


I know you're angry, just admit it.
I'm not.
I wish you hadn't upset the NSFNET deal.
You've made things much harder.
But that is less important than knowing that you're okay.
As I see it, you've got two options.
You can turn yourself in and own up to what you did or you can run.
Either way, I will help you.
How? If you run, I'll give you 50 grand, drive you to the bus station and you can disappear.
But the network you and I created will disappear, too.
No, I don't want that.
I put in a call to my lawyer.
If you turn yourself in, you'll serve no more than a year or two.
No, I can't.
Listen to me.

Microsoft settles license lawsuit

United Press International

SEATTLE - Microsoft Corp. said late Monday it has agreed to pay Seattle Computer Products Inc. nearly $1 million in an out-of-court settlement, ending jury deliberations in a $60 million licensing fraud lawsuit.

Microsoft, one of the nation's largest software manufacturers, will purchase back the seven license agreements it had with Seattle Computer, including any license for Microsoft operating systems products and high-level languages.

Seattle Computers, which has been virtually shut down, sued Microsoft over a 1981 agreement that Seattle Computers said was not intended to give Microsoft exclusive use of its program design and subsequent improvements.

Microsoft’s Annual Revenue Reaches $60 Billion

Posted July 17, 2008 By

REDMOND, Wash. — July 17, 2008 — Microsoft Corp. today announced revenue of $15.84 billion for the fiscal fourth quarter ended June 30, 2008, an 18% increase over the same period of the prior year. Operating income and diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $5.68 billion and $0.46, representing growth of 42% and 48%, respectively, over the same period of the prior year.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, Microsoft announced revenue of $60.42 billion, an 18% increase over the prior year. Operating income and diluted earnings per share for the year were $22.49 billion and $1.87, representing yearly growth of 21% and 32%, respectively.

The growth rates for operating income and diluted earnings per share were impacted by a $1.1 billion charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 related to the expansion of the company’s Xbox 360 warranty coverage.

“Delivering $60 billion in annual revenue is an outstanding accomplishment and a testament to the powerful combination of great technology solutions and strong execution by our partners and global sales and marketing teams,” said Kevin Turner, chief operating officer at Microsoft. “The outlook for fiscal year 2009 is positive given the breadth of our impressive technology portfolio and the expanding collection of online services we are bringing to market.”

This fiscal year marked the launch of Microsoft’s flagship server products: Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008. Revenue growth was primarily driven by continued customer demand for all products, including Windows Vista, which has sold over 180 million licenses since launch, the 2007 Microsoft Office system, server software, and Xbox 360 consoles and games.

“We had a strong finish in the fourth quarter, which capped off an impressive year for the company. We grew revenue 18% for the year with earnings per share significantly outpacing that,” said Chris Liddell, chief financial officer at Microsoft. “Looking forward, despite difficult economic conditions, we will build upon the momentum exiting fiscal year 2008 and expect to deliver another year of double-digit revenue and earnings growth in fiscal year 2009.”

Business Outlook

Microsoft management offers the following guidance for the quarter ending September 30, 2008:

Revenue is expected to be in the range of $14.7 billion to $14.9 billion.

Judges Asked to Void Conviction of Ex-Hooker

December 16, 1986 ROBERT W. STEWART Times Staff Writer

A lawyer for a former prostitute who ran for lieutenant governor this year argued Monday that the Libertarian candidate's 1984 pandering conviction should be thrown out because the state law under which she was sentenced is unconstitutional.

Attorney Lawrence Teeter, who represents Norma Jean Almodovar, 35, told a three-judge panel of the 2nd District Court of Appeal that the 1982 pandering law does not pass legal muster because, among other things, it applies to too many different types of conduct.

The law provides for a mandatory prison sentence of at least three years for anyone convicted of soliciting another to become a prostitute.

Under the law, Teeter said, "Pandering can be committed through fraud, through violence, through duress, through intimidation--or by a simple act . . . of nonviolent procurement for a single sexual act."

Imposing the same mandatory penalty on a pimp who makes a living by forcing women into prostitution and on a woman who engages in a single, nonviolent solicitation amounts, in the latter case, to cruel and unusual punishment, Teeter said.

Furthermore, Teeter argued, defendants convicted of offenses considered by many to be far more serious, including robbery and nonviolent child molestation, are eligible for probation under California law, while those convicted of pandering are not.

Arguing for the government, Los Angeles County Deputy Dist. Atty. Dirk L. Hudson told the appellate panel that it should reverse a lower court's decision to ignore the mandatory three-year sentence and to grant probation to Almodovar.

"The (California) Supreme Court has pointed out that there is a considerable burden the defendant must overcome" to prove that a law violates the "cruel and unusual punishment" prohibitions of the U.S. Constitution, Hudson said. Almodovar has not met that burden, Hudson argued.

The state Legislature has a clear right to impose a minimum sentence for crimes such as pandering, Hudson said.
