SCO's explanation is that the company is talking about a team made up of people who formerly worked at MIT, rather than a group still associated with the school, but "due to contractual obligations, we cannot specifically name the individuals."
Ah, anonymous experts. Of course they are the most believable type of experts possible!
Monsanto? You mean the company that wasted their innovation on finding a way to create a corn that they could claim as IP so it could no longer be grown and replanted like corn since the dawn of history? Sorry, but despite a past history of innovations, such behavior and abuse of the patent system leaves me with no sympathy or respect for the companies you cite.
Insane Clown Posse (BTW whether Celine is ugly or not is a matter of degree and of opinion. Personally, her nose is kind of odd, but the overall package is not unattractive; perhaps not a 9 or 10, but not "ugly").
smaller schools don't get a fair mention in any of these round ups.
Bullshit. I graduated from Bradley University, and guess what? They're ranked #3 in Midwestern Universities that don't have significant Doctoral programs (which is a fair place to put Bradley because they don't). Campus enrollment when I was there was on the order of 5000, and given the constraints of their location, I'd be surprised if they ever hit 10,000, much less "tens of thousands".
Sure, Bradley doesn't make it on the massive national scale, but that's hardly a surprise. I got a good education there, but it wasn't MIT.
Precisely. Suing for damages is exactly that, suing for damages, and you have some obligation to help make the damages stop. If the Open Source community says "show us the code, we'll fix it" and you refuse to cooperate, you're not doing anything to stop the damages. At which point, you're destroying your own case.
As for this being about "preserving evidence" all they need is a CD of a recent distro with source code, and that should be all the evidence they need. Preserve that, let the hackers fix their code if you really have a case, and go forward with a suit for the past damages. End of story.
Clearly, McBride is getting more psychotic as time goes on.
Ok, so maybe he should have said "Americans in power" only like free markets when it works in their favor, then? Amounts to the same thing for all practical intents, until our government starts listening to people again instead of corporate interests.
Absolutely none. The police chief in his interview on NPR noted that they specifically set the parameters to a point where they would absolutely minimize false positives. Of course that meant no positives at all, but there you go.
The privacy concerns still exist. The chief said on NPR last night quite clearly that the cameras existed before they tried this software and they will remain in place.
So now they can't rely on a huge marketing buzz to overcome the fact that a movie is crap, so they can at least have a decent opening weekend? Cry me a river.
Actually no it's not that one. The one I got looks like possibly a hong kong release or some such (or bootleg of same). Are the subtitles on the Perfect Sessions that bad? The one I have doesn't even have dubbed english, it's all japanese or chinese.
The most common e-mail I get sent is from concerned fans who have just found out that they have bought some pirate goods off a seller who claimed what they were selling was legitimate.
You mean like that Cowboy Bebop boxed set I bought claiming "english subtitles", only to find that they were Engrish at best. Totally incomprehensible.
Yeah, cos there's nothing like complete darkness in Canada and the US across the border to facilitate smuggling of illegal contraband like, say, SAMs. Certainly, making it a hard requirement would be stupid, but making it one of a many pronged attack to accomplish something of that nature seems more than reasonable to expect. Especially if there are enough people like you who say "who'd be so stupid as to try that!" giving the idea perfect cover.
Yes, this is speculative, but hardly nonsense. Not speculating about "nonsense" like hijacking planes into buildings is what got us to 9/11 after all.
The thing is if it's coordinated with some other attack then it could increase the impact of that other attack. I don't think that this necessarily justifies utter secrecy about the power grid, but the point is not that a power outage is a terrorist goal in and of itself.
"We are going to have a situation where people are going to have to walk a long distance. They need to be careful," Bloomberg said. "Our advice is to go home, open up your windows, drink a lot of liquids."

When my wife mentioned this to me last night she noted that they were talking about Gila Monster spit. So yes, Venemous Lizards.
I find that hard to believe. Got a proof? :-)
My bet is that the Blend No. 42 is a tribute to DNA, not his inspiration. Unless someone can show me a Blend #42 that's older than HHGG.
Of course, that doesn't explain why 6 x 9 (as explained in the book as "the question") is 42 in base 13. Unless of course he worked it out backwards.
He probably meant solaris x86.

And all the lovely porn filters which filter things that aren't porn and don't filter things that are.

How does it feel to be rated at the same odds at Larry Flynt? (I hesitate to say "running neck & neck").
Lies of omission are still lies. Deception is deception, even if it doesn't involve blatant falsehood.
In most other forms of communication, lies aren't the be-all and end-all that they are in advertising.
So now they can't rely on a huge marketing buzz to overcome the fact that a movie is crap, so they can at least have a decent opening weekend? Cry me a river.
Couldn't have said it better myself. If you're going to spend that much money, get rid of the pixel distortion and go with a foveon camera.

One wonders if the goatse.cx man could do with windows to cut down the drafts.
