I'm no KDE fan, but I actually have KDE 3.2 on my box just so I can run Konqueror... it really has come a long way, it's very snappy, and renders pages quite well.
Of course it isn't entirely stable yet, I do get the occasional SEGFAULT, but I've seen that happen even with browsers that theoretically *are* stable.:)
Overrated, sure, but Troll? Never... Macs actually did this, guys, I was there. Well, ok, maybe the message wasn't the same, but it was quite frustrating!
Linus didn't exactly endorse it, you know. And I think you'll find that DRM systems, by and large, are unwanted and insecure. If you can access the content, then you can strip it of its protections.
Just wait until I receive my patent on "a method for fomenting cluelessness and incompetence through paperwork"... I'll sue those USPTO people into the ground, right after I bury SCO!
Don't forget to sue those pesky Apple guys too, they always annoyed me with their messages that came up whenever I put in a CD... "No, not that CD, you idiot, the other CD!" And again, and again, with the endless CD swapping. I wonder if they had a patent on *that*...
At one point, McBride, explaining what he thinks is the Linux community's efforts to damage SCO through Web site attacks, asked a student whether he was affected by the MyDoom.A e-mail virus, which targeted Outlook and Outlook Express users and installed malicious code used to launch a massive distributed denial of service attack (define).
The attack, which began over the weekend and culminated Sunday, swamped SCO's home page domain name and forced the company to move it to another Monday morning.
When asked the question, the student replied with a hint of humor in his tone: "No, I have Linux."
It's great to see anecdotes like this making it into the media.:)
If I were looking for multiplayer card games on computers over networks (i.e., 'prior art'), I'd start with door games. Hey, looks like card games to me.:)
Yes it does.
Did I say it was the same as the BSD advertising clause? No, I did not.
HTH.

"some abusers, he said, consume more than a terabyte of data each month"
"Comcast and several other cable firms are doubling their top download speeds to 3 megabits per second"
From google: (1 terabyte) / (3 (megabits per second)) = 1.0632985 months
Therefore, before they raised their caps, it would take you over two months to download one terabyte. Afterwards, it would *still* take you more than a month.
I agree... MS is currently licensing FS patents with prior art--for VFAT. But maybe IBM can help us out with this one; they probably have a boatload of filesystem and database related patents as well (you mentioned HPFS, which surely is the reason that MS isn't trying to get people to license NTFS patents...), hopefully they aren't all already cross-licensed with MS...:/
I'm sure I'll be hearing from/. about how all the concepts in WinFS would be wonderful to have... just as soon as we hear something new about Reiser4. Seriously, just adding some extra metadata to a filesystem doesn't have to make it insecure; in fact, in Reiser4, they're doing it to make the filesystem *more* secure.
Now, I know about MS' track record with security just as well as the next/.'er, but let's wait until WinFS is actually released to start picking it apart, ok? Until then, it's still vaporware, and there's no guarantee that it'll get released in 2005, 2006, or any other time.
And if it just ends up being a layer on top of NTFS that lets people sort their music and vacation pictures, well, I'm not too worried about it yet. And if it turns out that it's a security risk, then you *turn it off*, or just use FAT32.
(A) Some of the attachments are zipped, some are not. There's your difference. (B) How many false positives do these very small strings generate? Each of those matches consist of less than 8 bytes of information, and I doubt they're entirely random either...

So here's a story that outright says "we have no idea, and the whole thing is bogus anyhow".
Well, at least it's honest.
In that case, how about this... I'll send you this e-mail, and you can go open it in Outlook, and tell me what happened...

SCO can distort anything...

The new license contains an advertising clause. I wonder if their recent merger has something to do with this...

I never meta-haiku I didn't like...
I think "nitpicker" is three syllables too; maybe I should have gone with that.
Not my ISP, but I appreciate the concern. Not that poppyfields and their filk archive is any stranger to /.
I remember that! :)
If I still had mod points, and I hadn't already posted, I'd mod you up, man. Not that it really matters, as you likely know.
I think the problem is, us white boys just can't sing in the first place. On the other hand, that shouldn't make it any worse than the original. :)
I specifically did not do that.

But if you think so... then thank you, you're too kind!
With the RIAA these days, I wouldn't be so sure, but if they did sue me, I'd certainly win.
Hmm...
My song isn't that bad until you try to cover it...
