It turns out that Forbes.com was wrong...
In an article written by Daniel Lyons?

This is just the latest climb down in the SCO peanut gallery as their media allies find other things to write about. Before this article Rob Enderle already moved from his SCO Should Win article to predicting that SCO's litigation, against IBM or anyone else, is all but done.

The story here isn't that SCO has come up with another lame excuse in another vain attempt to flog the dead horse of their court case back to life, but that even their most ardent supporters are starting to see what's going on.

They covered it pretty well. The labels are not only charging them breakage and other costs that don't exist on digital downloads, but they are also paying a different rate, claming it is licensing, not distribution.

Cheap Trick and The Allman Brothers are standing up, why doesn't Weird Al?

Nothing new here, labels screwing artists. I do agree with the others, the labels aren't doing too much for Weird Al anymore (in terms of advertising, etc.), he should break away from them and sell his own albums direct. It won't fix his royalties for "Like a Surgeon", but at least he can make more off of new stuff he records.

Research documented at Linux Pipeline showed that ClamAV did a lot better at responding to new viruses than any of the paid for apps, which is pretty cool. I have tried WinPooch and ClamWin on my PC. Gave up after a week. It gave so many warnings when I ran anything that I couldn't tell what was legitimate and what was nasty. Too many false positives means you end up ignoring all warnings. The lack of documentation just had me scratching my head. It seems to me that WinPooch does much the same as Spybot's TeaTimer, but a lot more intrusive. Can't really say whether the on-access av scanning worked. I didn't find much to have faith in with WinPooch. Shame as ClamAV would clearly be the best option if only it did on access scanning. Who can rely on on-demand scans in these days of 500Gb hard drives anyway? DunxD

I seriously doubt you'd be forced to use bitlocker. And if not, it's not an issue. The only people who would probably use it, are people with extremely sensitive data, and in that case, they probably wouldn't be dual booting anyway.

In fact, it won't even be on all of various versions of vista (say that ten times fast), according to this article.

And I quote "British government's Home Office was "in talks with Microsoft" over BitLocker Drive Encryption, a technology in some, though not all, of the Vista versions planned for later this year."

And according to this article it's only slated for the enterprise version.

Shit, time to start picking up RoR then.. http://nwc.linuxpipeline.com/showArticle.jhtml?art icleID=171201940

Looks like it's kind of both. It's a merger of old MySQL with SAPDB

Konqueror and Mozilla are both vulnerable to png exploits. If you visit a web page that has a png file encoded with a buffer overrun, you will be infected. The owner of the script will be root on your computer. This works on most Linux based systems including FreeBSD and RedHat.

Umm, Linux is used for far more then the web market. Linux has been growing from 50% - 80% or so per quarter for the past few years. It has been the fastest growing server OS for a good 3 years now. MS Windows does currently have a larger market share, though it is nothing close to the desktop market share MS has. Linux server usage is not that far behind MS Windows server usage and could catch up in 2 or 3 years.
Linux Use Show Continued Growth
Linux Servers Lead Market in Worldwide Growth
Novell's product has been on a very steep downard spiral, it is not keeping anyone on MS Windows now. That is why Novell bought SuSE Linux and Ximain and are coming out with a bunch of Enterprise Linux based products.

SCO-I hope they die...I hope they rot

You wouldn't have happened to interview with AutoZone did you? I can see why they would want to move to Linux.

Maybe you should read this before further confirming the stereotype, too.
