Hello All,

Another funny post about Microsoft and GitHub. This one comes from the latest 
RISKS mailing list digest:

Date: Mon, 4 Jun 2018 10:34:09 -0700
From: Lauren Weinstein <lauren@vortex.com>
Subject: Microsoft to acquire GitHub for $7.5 billion

via NNSquad
Microsoft Corp. on Monday announced it has reached an agreement to acquire 
GitHub, the world's leading software development platform where more than 28 
million developers learn, share and collaborate to create the future. 
Together, the two companies will empower developers to achieve more at every 
stage of the development lifecycle, accelerate enterprise use of GitHub, and 
bring Microsoft's developer tools and services to new audiences.

All GitHub users forthwith will be required to run Windows 10 or subsequent 
Microsoft operating systems with all privacy options disabled, manage their 
code only by voice via Cortana, and install the new Microsoft Clippy 2018! 
Microsoft Office Assistant on all of their devices. Microsoft will now scan 
all GitHub materials for patent infringement and turn violators over to local 
authorities for arrest.

Later,
Sean
