They were purchased in the sense that CA had some business with Canopy. Canopy then figured "Hey, let's mention that this stuff also includes Linux licenses blah blah" and the CA people said: "Well if it's not going to increase the price, why not?"
So in the end CA bought licenses, but only because SCO wanted to put the licenses down as "sold", not because they would have sold them in any other way.
It's like giving away free stuff along with other things, then later claiming everybody bought your stuff when they just bought something else.
I remember Yoda saying "Begun, this clone war has." Google pulls up a little more for the "the"-variant. Anyone remember for sure? I'll probably end up skipping through the DVD tonight anyway:)
That's not really a resolution you want to browse the web on. I do it on a Clie at 320x320 regularly and even that's painful - and that's more than 2.5 times the amount of pixels on a Sidekick.
First thing I checked was ofcourse the screen's resolution and it turns out it sports 640x320. That's very good! Especially since close competitors (like the P900) only have 320x208. Even some of the big-screen PDA's currently out like the Palm Tungsten T3 and the clamshell Sony Clie's only have 480x320. Even Sony's latest UX50 has that resolution and if I'm not mistaken so does the latest Zaurus.
640x320 is finally something you can seriously browse the web on!
would be to teach them about how to effectively use the Internet and all the different stuff that's on it. I mean, Office is basically something home users don't really use anyway and the OS itself is preinstalled or should come with support for configuring it.
The interesting thing is: once you have everything set up and want to do something, where to begin? So teach them about Google, how to effectively use it. Tell them about keeping an additional yahoo/hotmail-account to avoid a lot of spam in their personal inboxes. Show them how instant messaging works, what the different networks are and how to set up these clients so they won't get spammed and have some privacy. Tell them about cool VoIP software to chat with relatives on the other side of the country. Explain how to check whether a site has SSL when using your creditcard to buy stuff.
It's all so basic for most of us, but invaluable for the casual user - it'll really make them have fun using the Internet instead of hanging around on portals like AOL and MSN and not getting anywhere.
when artists ignore the possibilities of the medium such as the abstract artists of the 20th century did and focus exclusively on their on personal expression, people say they're a bunch of frauds for not producing work that shows incredible skill in the field of painting, etc. (think of the New York school of artists like Newman, Pollock and Rothko).
Perhaps the medium *is* the art to a lot of people. In fact, quite a few think the movies mentioned higher in this thread are wonderful solely because they look so beautiful.
independent comics are actually much more known to the average comics readers than independent music is to the typical music listener (everybody?) The reason I'm saying this is because nearly every comicbook store I know has quite a lot of the indy stuff, as opposed to the couple of music stores I know that carry indy music (especially since the amount of comic stores : music stores is like 10:1 at least!)
I'm not quite sure why this is, perhaps the market for comics is not as highly populated by mainstream stuff, leaving a lot of space for indy works, or perhaps the taste of comicbook fans is generally much more diverse? Who knows.
It's pretty weird though to read about independents not getting a lot of attention when you can walk into a comicbook store somewhere in Europe where they need to import everything and see independent comics lying all over the place.
Daredevil actually premiered in The Netherlands this week, so I was kind of expecting them to suddenly come up with some kind of "Seeing with Sound"-tool. These guys are so predictable.
Unless they state in their contract *how* they're going to crawl/monitor, I do have the right to block whatever I want without violating this as long as I don't prevent them from crawling/monitoring at all. So yeah this is a pretty useless agreement, but it's mostly very stupid instead of restrictive (although everybody seems to believe the latter.)
If you agree not to block or interfere with crawling or monitoring, you're not telling them they can do whatever they want. You agree they can crawl and/or monitor your site, but not doing that in any way *they* want to.
It's OK if they crawl/monitor my site using a bunch of people surfing my site all day long. I won't attempt to block that. Anything else, I might.
The Associates Operating Agreement states: Therefore, you agree that we and our corporate affiliates may take such actions and that you will not seek to block or otherwise interfere with such crawling or monitoring (and that we and our corporate affiliates may use technical means to overcome any methods used on your site to block or interfere with such crawling or monitoring).
As such, it doesn't say that you agree not to block them or that you're violating their license if you do block them. All you agree to is that they can monitor your site, but if you don't like how they do it, it doesn't state that you have to put up with their crawler. The only thing you do agree to is that they can use "technical means to overcome" your blocking. But so what? Let them waste money on attempting to monitor your site by modifying their crawler:) Does anyone believe they'd actually do that? Most likely they'll just leave you alone.
I don't really understand why it's so cool to publish a magazine in PDF? Is this a regular treeware mag that they give away online for free? I didn't get that impression from the website (because of the lack of for instance a cover price on the cover inside the PDF.)
If you want to publish stuff for free and distribute it the easiest way (using the Internet) then great! But why use this oldskool format? Is anyone going to print this out using a colorprinter and then staple it together and read it? Not me. I use the Internet because I like the format this new digital medium makes possible.
So the mag looks great and I think it's an excellent idea to have a bunch of newsgroup regulars put together a mag, but can't they just put it on a website? Or if they want perhaps put it in XML. That way I can read it on my PDA, apply my personal stylesheets and use handy stuff like hyperlinks(wow!)
Regardless, they have a new regular reader anyway.
It's not exactly located on a *.microsoft.com server so for all we know someone at securityoffice.net needed a bunch of pageviews and made all this up himself. I can't really check the link because it's all clogged at the moment.
I've used WINE quite extensively and I would say if you want to reverse engineer a piece of Win32 code WINE might be the best way to do it on Linux. On the other hand, so much is either not implemented or only implemented halfway, I wouldn't really consider my WINE-based findings to be an objective assessment of what a piece of code would do once actually run on a system based on an original version of Windows.
I don't really see why you'd go through all the trouble of using Linux to reverse a Win32-trojan. The only argument the author of the two linked articles gives is that all related development tools on Linux/Unix are free. However, if you just want to poke around some code without producing optimized binaries, you can get cheap versions of MS Developer Studio (so-called "Learning Editions") as well.
I mean, this kind of stuff is complicated enough without the possible hassle of having your environment messed up because of some incomplete emulator.

Japan seems to be rather vigilant in enforcing its antitrust legislation.
Considering that Microsoft has probably been breaking antitrust laws for 10+ years, I wouldn't call this "vigilant".

We can avoid spam if we just collectively start using another system for sending eachother messages. Sound difficult to get that off the ground?

RMS and Darth Stallius are the same person after all?

They'll change to NVidia's caming convention from now on an call the cheap version of the M a Pentium M MX?
We should replace the scientists by robots instead! Or by rats?
(And I have a feeling that's how they handled this in Soviet Russia...)
