  1. Re:Devil's Advocate on Spammers Lose Court Battle Against Univ. of Texas · · Score: 1

    And the ZDNet article has the info on how it was "legally obtained": White Buffalo, an Austin, Texas, start-up that boasts of making "a ton of moolah" by promoting relationship-based Web sites, began its bulk e-mail campaign in February 2003 by filing a freedom of information request that gave it nearly all the university's e-mail addresses.

  2. Re:Devil's Advocate on Spammers Lose Court Battle Against Univ. of Texas · · Score: 2, Informative

    Nowhere does the article say that UT sold the spammers a list of addresses only that it was "legally obtained". In fact, if you read the ZDnet article, it says the spammers got the list "by filing a freedom of information request that gave it nearly all the university's e-mail addresses". UT didn't sell the list.

  3. Re:lots of compilers... on Old C Compiler Lives Again Under GPL · · Score: 1

    If the GPL is all about choice, why are you whining about more choices? I really wish /. would get over the "It's not very exciting/I don't use it/there are better things, who cares if it's GPL/support GPL products" thing. (see Google/Yahoo Toolbar) Any GPL code is a good thing for the GPL.

    Funny, the Jade Empire game mentioned in the article has a few more realistic looking characters like this one

    There was a TV show awhile back called "If We Had No Moon" narrated by Patrick Stewart that covered this. Very interesting.

  6. Re:What would happen to UnixWare and OpenServer? on Unsealed SCO Email Reveals Linux Code is Clean · · Score: 1
    Now that it looks like their case is beyond salvation, and suppose they were to lose their lawsuit and become financially void, what would happen to the UnixWare and OpenServer codebases? Would they be transferred to one of TSG's debitors?

    More likely sold and the money from the sale given to the creditors. Creditors often don't care about the actual assets of a bankrupt company, but how much they can recoup from the sale of said assets.

  7. Re:No Linux copyright violation, film at 11 on Unsealed SCO Email Reveals Linux Code is Clean · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What is news is that this is evidence that SCO knew a long time ago there was no copyright violations.

  8. Re:What's the lowdown? on Positive Reports From Transmeta · · Score: 2, Informative

    Manufacturing processors didn't work out so well, so they went to the ARM model of business: License your IP for other people to use.

    Most of their valuable IP consists of their LongRun2 technology. They have Sony, Fujitsu, and NEC as licensees so far.

    Their Crusoe processor has been sold off to a Chinese company, Culture.com Technology Limited. Not sure what the status is of their Efficeon line, but it's been licensed to Culture.com, too. I imagine that Efficeon is up for sale, too.

    Typical Microsoft. Copied, but "extended" a.k.a. mangled.

    It's only the California state tax form they will fill out, not the federal.

  14. Re:In the office game, it's all about document for on Apple Making a Spreadsheet? · · Score: 1
    So Apple better do something with their document formats. That is, make it XML and open-source OR even better, use the OpenOffice document format.

    What it's saved in is not so important. It's what it can read and write. If you can't read Microsoft Office formatted file, you're a non-starter in the office game. Writing Microsoft Office files would be a positive, too.

  15. Re:Not enough, not comparable on Apple Making a Spreadsheet? · · Score: 1
    MS makes another email program for the Mac.

    Entourage. I've heard it's quite good.

    Some would say that the Mac version of Office is better than the Windows version.

    Nobody has said what chips were rumored to be the discussion topic. It's all speculation. For all anybody knows, it could very well be discussions about the RAID controller in the Xserve RAID.

    The bundle probably got disabled.

    The disabling of Mail bundles is documented in the release notes under the Mail and Address Book section:

    Resolves a potential issue in which Mail could unexpectedly quit, stop responding, or fail to import your previous emails if third-party software were installed in a ~/Library/Mail/Bundles or /Library/Mail/Bundles--this update prevents previously-installed plug-ins from loading.

    A person listing the UC's would say "UCSB, UCLA, UCSC, Cal, UCSD..."

    Actually, lots would say "Santa Barbara, UCLA, Santa Cruz, Berkeley, San Diego..." chopping off the "UC" part except for UCLA.

    And you left off Irvine, San Francisco, Riverside, and Davis. Bonus points for Merced.

    I agree. I have one of these, too. It is a little slow, but the removable and upgradable SD option is great. I recently broke my Bonzai card and will be able to pull out the memory card and stick it into another Bonzai.

    I really miss the Whirlwind at the local arcade that has since moved to almost all those fighting games (how the heck do those guys even follow what they're doing?). I wasn't all that good at it (never got the top score), but I was good enough to enjoy it.

    That and Bubble Bobble. No, not Puzzle Bobble. Bubble Bobble.
