Building the A380
Gavinsblog writes "The Independent has a report on the construction
of the Airbus A380. Amazingly, a ship is being custom-built to ferry parts
for assembly, a custom fleet of trucks are also to be used - with roads widened
to suit. Oh and the assembly building is the size of two soccer pitches, and the
height of an olympic swimming pool."

now is that with or without allowances for touchpads? I mean things could get dicey if Grant Hackett decided to wear shoes, y'know.
"Sanity is not statistical", George Orwell, "1984"
On November 19, 1954, the career of Sammy Davis Jr. almost came to a sudden and tragic close. While driving to Los Angeles to record the title tune of the Universal International picture "Six Bridges to Cross", Sammy was the victim of an automobile smash-up and narrowly escaped death. He was so seriously injured that his left eye had to be removed. In spite of the terrible shock, Sammy rallied and went on with his work; he even insisted that he was the "luckiest guy in the world".
Since his accident, Sammy's courageous spirit and ever-growing talent have won him increasingly enthusiastic audiences. Let's hear it for Sammy Davis Jr. !

SCO, has a strong claim and with Boies to make the argument, the penguins might be pecking no more!
Well
it's against the law! Anyone can give away software if they steal it
from the rightful copyright holders. Now let's see what the open
sourcerers can do if they have to obey the law for once.

SCO
is, of course, not the Santa Cruz Operation that the unixers once loved
and that once tried to bring unix to the intel world. SCO is the new
shell inhabited by that software hermit crab Caldera and funded by
Novell Noorda in an attempt to bring consternation and uncertainty to
the computing world. The penguins may wish to note that he is a pew
mate of the staid Orren Hatch who is spoiling for a comeback from his
inauspicious showing against Herr Gates. Live in real fear, penguins!
LOL!!!
