"It is an interesting counterpoint in case Microsoft wants to use the lawsuit in any anti-linux campaign"
Don't think so. If I remember correctly DOS, the base of MS was based off a stripped down version of UNIX. So in essense they would be sueing a product they based there own OS from.
Its like saying "Hi, were M$ and have created Windows 2000 based off NT based from Windows based from DOS based from UNIX. We are now sueing UNIX because it is copying us."
Isn't that like going back in time and shooting your mother before you were born?
"It is not possible for Linux to rapidly reach UNIX performance standards for complete enterprise functionality without the misappropriation of UNIX code"
Umm SCO is no gem in the rough. My opinion Five years ago Linux was a better choice then that of SCO.
Sounds like Penis envy to me.
Sorry, it was the dedication of thousands of programmers and millions of testers that made Linux what it is today.
A company called West Telemarketing is working toward moving over their VRUs (Voice Recognition Units) from SCO to Linux by integrating the Dialogic (Intel) drivers into the kernel.
From what I have heard, things are in Beta but very stable and soon to be moving forward to production systems.
The pages you are currently watching are served by a web server running on a an Ethernet equipped 6510-based system with 64k RAM running at 1 MHz (a Commodore 64 with a TFE cartridge). The same system also exports two displays using VNC and the small uVNC server software.
Please note that this is work in progress and far from something finished.

I played a friend of mines SWGB. After about 3 or 4 games, I removed it from my box, packaged it back up again, and gave it back to him.
Warcraft III is prob a great game.. and will appeal to many people out there. But the style of game has been so badly abused over the past 10 years that it turns out to be the Same #$^@ Different Day.
Who knows if the log files are even examined? What is to say that they would not get lost in a massive amount of logging, if logging is even turned out (performance issue at hand)
How about planting a program to run in the middle of the night under user X to dump the file in place Y which you would later get. Every situation would be different. How about places which are ran solely by IBM and where the company is lucky enough to do an ls, let alone trying to administrate a DB2 server? Maybe we tell the company were going to do a backup dump of the DB just to be sure we don't loose anything and swipe from thier.
It could be as simple as taking a used backup tape just laying on top of the machine that some operator carelessly layed there.
The point was not if "you" would get caught, but the point that "others" beside a select few bank personal are granted access to the machine. And just because the "room" is secure, does not mean that what is inside of it is.
Again, the attack was not directed at IBM. IBM could have just been as easily replaces with "Ma and Pa's used Blendor and Computer Repair Shop."
In otherwords, people outside of the bank have access to that information.
And all it takes is 30 seconds to dump an SQL output of 10,000 CC#/account info records to a flat file on a 1.4M "service patch disk" and out the door they go.
it costs you approximately $200 (with taxes) on the spot, and saves you $3 a month for as long as you have the connection
Very interesting... math...
I paided $89 for mine and when leasing was getting charged $15 a month. So for me it was only 6 months to make up the costs. Come June, and I will have broken even.
Real Audio + Quicktime + Windows Media Player + Win amp all installed on the same machine is complete cluster f*** and a battle ground. I am sure there are a few more that I am forgetting, but this is a good start.
If a computer had emotions and I installed all these applications at the same time, it would be begging me to format its hard drive to stop the suffering.
more than they got from napster or any of the current junk out there!
Bull *blank*
When napster was in full swing, Many people used it as a music trial service, kind of like our own personal listening booth. Try and buy.
Let us not forget that music sales dropped 9% after Napster took a dirt nap. Many people blame it on economics. I blame it on the fact that exposure was removed from the mainstream.
A quarter of a cent or 9% increase in overall sales. You decide.
And do the math. 1 million sales is a MASSIVE $2500 for the artists. I make more then that in two weeks.

The only reason slashdot was mentioned in the article was so it WOULD get posted here knowing full well that it would get dismissed as drivel.
Katharine Mieszkowski: "No one is going to read this crap."
Farhad Manjoo: "You know your right. But how can we get more publicity from it?"
Katharine Mieszkowski: "I know, lets metion slashdot!"
Farhad Manjoo: "Hey, and I know. Go grabs Salon's 2003 plan and replace all mentions of Salon with Slashdot."
Katharine Mieszkowski: "We are going to be famous!"
Well then, your friend needs to wise up a bit.

See where honesty gets you?
2h = second half
03 = 2003
In the case of Blizzard that means Fall 2005.

Guess we know where all those email addresses are being fed into.
Might make a great project for someone to pull the login/passwd from the executable, and start force feeding that thing.
But dont let me give you any ideas.

North Dakota is hell

Thank God!
I feel much better now knowing that if I run my battery low on my mech, I have the option of push starting it.
If you read through the entire patent you will see that it is higly geared toward the travel business. Priceline fits the patent.

the computer room had a nice big red button. It was the power shutdown for the entire data center.
It had a nice sign over it.
"Do not accidentally, on purpose, press this button."
I believe the same concept applies here.
