Good point. Don't see why not.. somehow... eventually, considering that micro-drives are available for use with electronic equipment, notably digital cameras. It looks at though 1 GB is available now, with 4 GB perhaps this fall.
What if linux users who are drinking the beer suddenly stopped and started buying distributions from the companies of their respective distributions (where applicable), regardless of whether they actually open up the box? That could translate into helping linux companies with more cash to fight SCO and its likes.
Shooting from the hip this makes sense, but I can also imagine some twisted nasty consequences -- such as it would more easily give Microsoft some ammo to say "See, we told you so. Linux *is* a threat to our business so we're not a monopoly."
The way timothy summarized that article, I sure thought the Class members had to waive claims to any future infractions by Microsoft. (In today's corporate world, I wouldn't doubt it.)
Anyway, this is indeed not the case. Timothy missed the part that states
The release does not include claims relating to Microsoft's conduct, acts or omissions that take place after December 31, 2002. However, class members release any and all claims described above relating to Microsoft's conduct, acts or omissions that
occurred on or before December 31, 2002.[emph.]
designed to encourage electronic transactions and also required new safeguards to protect the security and confidentiality of health information. The final regulation covers health plans, health care clearinghouses, and those health care providers who conduct certain financial and administrative transactions (e.g., enrollment, billing and eligibility verification) electronically.
So perhaps this is yet another instance where "homeland security" trumps.
P.S.: I could see where this could also mean that a U.S. government-offered national health plan could not happen legally (but IANAL).
Dog implicated by DNA in chicken coop raid spared death penalty
By The Associated Press
(7/17/03 - WEST TISBURY, MA) -- A dog linked by DNA to a chicken coop raid has been spared the death penalty.
Officials in West Tisbury, Massachusetts, instead slapped a permanent restraining order on Sabrina, and ordered the dog's owner to pay $375 in damages to the owner of the dead chickens.
But Sabrina's owner says she's been told the dog won't be so lucky next time, if it's caught in a neighbor's chicken coop again.
Malcolm Jones' chicken coop on Martha's Vineyard had been raided three times. After the last attack, he sent the gray and white dog hairs he found to a California lab for DNA analysis.
The DNA matched that of his neighbor's malamute-collie mix.
Police pointed out that, while the DNA did place Sabrina at the scene of the crime, it did not prove that she was the killer.

It doesn't seem to be the right kind of negative press that would draw the attention of the New York Times, Chicago Trib, WSJ, etc. M$ is not Enron (AFAWK not in an obvious way). OTHO I could imagine seeing such an article in Salon.
I could have added a lot more of the thin white foam to cover every square inch of exposed surface on the inside of the case but didn't. I was really only interested in placing it in the most accessible areas with large sheets so I could get a feel for the sound absorbency of the material.
it seems to me it would be easier to tile every inch of the case exterior not interior.
So are the "fountain" versions of sodas that are reconstituted from the caramel syrup.
(Not only that, but the average person born in the US probably doesn't realize how they are getting reamed due to their ignorance of the metric system -- but that's a slight tangent.)
I had been thinking that doing so was getting to be dangerous. Some envelopes nowdays carry a preprinted "customer code" string that could be traceable to your address. I wonder whether the spamhaus or postal service could try to sue you for fraud or something. I guess though they would have to prove *you* mailed it.
Well, considering that dogs eat their own feces, I rather dislike having it pointed out to me that I exist as a consumer for telemarketers to dish out their sh*t and to expect me to eat it merrily.
I had long noticed this also. You used to be able to go into their ftp directory and hunt down the RH7.x version.
Actually, it's nearly trivial to install their tar.gz packages. It involves unpacking in/usr/lib. Then copy your plugin modules and links to modules (read the latter: j2re) into the new mozilla directory. You might have to modify a couple of the permissions on the mozilla or its subdirectories, and maybe put a link in/usr/local/bin. If you are a little careful, it is not bad at all.

We favor the idea of setting up independent email trust authorities to establish and maintain commercial email guidelines,
If this "trust authority" is like a business, then IIRC statistically speaking their computers will be running Windows or *NIX. If Windows, then Microsoft has an implicit interest - if not control (especially if digital rights management comes to fruition).
If linux, then even Microsoft would have to acknowledge that linux has a legitimate role in business. (cynicism)Fortunately, Microsoft has seen to it to avert this outcome, for they have helped to fund SCO to bring down linux (/cynicism).
And I'm sure Microsoft would have much love for IBM or Sun either, but I don't have specifics at hand.
Just a guess...it could that IBM is just letting SCO dig its own grave. How can IBM defend itself if SCO isn't "freely" (I mean in the courtroom sense) showing its alleged proof? Thus, when it comes time IBM can silence SCO forever by suing it for damage to its reputation and business.
Just had a thought. They could make CDs and DVDs out of "corn plastic" (see recent story).
Notable advantages:
finite time in the landfill (compare AOL CDs)
hence, management of user making copies
fewer greenhouse gases produced
hence, can initially charge the cornsumer more
Sounds great. Also, get some free karma

Isn't there a way in which you can essentially hire some business-lawyer type person to pursue a company on your behalf in such matters? Don't know whether it has to be B2B or not. I understand these people are rather fiesty.

Does this strike anyone else as "Skynet" in the making?
Congrats and thanks, Linus. I was not expecting testing to begin so quickly after he expressed his opinion.
Those of you to whom this article reminds you of the *nix 'talk' command, raise your hand.

As a result of their new-found ownership of USB IP, SCO is now suing IBM for $5,454,545,454.55.

2. Oh yeah, how 'bout wrapping that sensor around THIS finger? [Take your pick which anatomical region you prefer.]
1. Huh? You mean central Illinois has buildings, let alone any actually made of brick?
SCO/STAN Holy sh*t, dude. They're calling our bluff!
