I'd think multiplayer games are inherently social events. Some people (myself included) don't like multiplayer games. Give me anything from the Thief series or the redone Doom stuff @ DoomsdayHQ. That makes me an antisocial bastard, not the people that gather together to game.
How do you take someone seriously that says stuff like this
Indeed. I think it's only a matter of time before the SCO idiots start saying things like "My dad can beat up your dad" or "Hey IBM, we'll meet you after school by the monkey-bars".

The SCO Group is proud to announce the latest product in its family of software products. "LawsuitClusterFuck(tm)" uses advanced SCO technologies to send out threatening letters to random businesses harvested from the internet.
"It's a great day for the internet, open source and business!" proclaimed SCO spokesperson Charles F. Uckwad, III. "If you wanted to send out menacing extortion letters before, one would have to look up the address of the recipient in a phone book. Now, with "LawsuitClusterFuck(tm)" you just need to write up the threat as a standard form letter. Using standard variable names such as $COMPANY, $SHAKEDOWN_AMOUNT and $LIE_NUM the LawsuitClusterFuck software will use SCO's advanced heuristics to fill in the blanks. You'll need to hire an army of envelope stuffers!"
The SCO Group is based in Salt Lake City, Utah and has done nothing
of interest for many years.
We don't need a stinking printing system, remember that all these nifty computers are going to bring us the "Paperless Office"! At least thats what we were told in the 80s.
Serious question: Why don't they go back to 5.25" full height drives with many platters for archival purposes? The speed would likely suck as the heads would need to move a lot from inner to outer edges but the capacity could be huge..
Sooooo... you can't write about a former girlfriend, yet any and all dirt on Bill Clinton (a President, no less) including cigars, cum stains and other sordid crud is suitable for public consumption?
And it takes hours, if not days, for those bits to get flipped.
I recently got call forwarding on my phone at home through MTS. I called a number and after some voice prompts I had forwarding in about 30 seconds. No human intervention at the other end required
Back in 19-odd-5 we had that new-fangled telephonic voice box of Bell's. Had a lot of noise, we had to yell in it.
Phoned the local Bell shoppe. Old lady Sweetlips answered. She was an angry ol' hen. Ev'r since her husband William died in a logging accident back in '92. Where was I? Oh yeah, Bell. So I was talking to Sweetlips about the reception on their telephonic voice box and she said 'Your call is important to us. Please stay on the line and we'll take your call in the order it was received."
Well I knew something was up as they didn't have those fancy-pants voice recording units on the telephonic voice boxes yet. Not until the 40's or 50's, if the ol' noggin remembers right.
Anyhow I yelled into the telephonic box "Dang you, Sweetlips, I know that's you and not some fancy downtown invention from Bell!" Then she paused and said in a sultry voice "You know, Harrison.. it's been many a year since I've had a man between my thighs.."
That was my great-granddaddy for you. He'd always turn every story into early 20th century pr0n.
Because getting rid of "big iron" will kill IBM and Sun, their competitors. They can't *really* think that a cluster of PCs is a one-size-fits-all solution.
Nor does Canada have the same constitutional guarantees for free speech that US citizens have. Nonsense, look up the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms via google. Look for the part about Freedom of Expression.

Screw that. Send out extortion letters to thousands companies. Even if 1% pay you what you ask, you're still ahead. Hmm. I should patent that process, unless of course SCO has already done it.

Seven astronauts lost their lives in this tragedy
Yes, and they were aware of the risks when they signed up. Joking or being serious doesn't change the fact they all died.

Who will patent "Superfluous Patents" first and start hurling lawsuits; SCO or MS?
Yeah! Finally we after-schooler AD&Ders have a group nerdier than us to beat up!
It is always a pleasure to see a person who realizes a good life is more important than money!
That is soGene Roddenberry/Star Trekish...
Soon, all companies will be as successful as other honest firms such as Enron.
You could buy Enron's old accounting software without going against the EULA; the shrinkwrap had never been opened.

Q: What do you say to an SCO employee in 2005?
A: I'll have a Big Mac, large fries and a Coke.
That depends a lot on what options you use. For instance using can really increase your scan speed. is your friend.
