No. SCO wants a local Utah jury on their crazy "we own Linux" claims, and is worried that having that same jury deal with their violation of IBM patents will sour their image as the scrappy little local firm, pure as the driven snow.
In theory it can be done with a laser and a very small sail. Essentially you build a rocket with no real fuel - maybe just some reaction mass - and shine a BFL up the tailpipe.
Very nice in theory, very hard in practice.
I *think* NASA had demonstrated this technology to get a 1-pound 'rocket' to a height of about 10 feet, but that's the state-of-the-art for ground-based laser launch.
No, no. The problem is that only the terrorists are armed. The solution is obvious; a sawed-off double-barreled shotgun should be placed under every seat.
Not really. From my limited research, the Intel video chipsets have opensource 3D accelleration, but the fastest 3D cards with OS drivers are the previous generation ATI boards (R2?0 based, the 8500/9100 or maybe the FireGL 8800 (an overclocked 8500).
Further, destroying evidence deliberately is a criminal felony, not a civil matter. Remember, that's what they actually nailed Arthur Anderson, not their dodgy accounting.
It's actually worse than that - they pulled $3m in paper income out of thin air due to the way they accounted for a change of their special class A stock to special class A1 stock.
Linux support should be fine; to the OS the base station looks like a USB hub with a plain-vanilla 3-button USB wheelmouse. If you have the wireless keyboard that appears to be hooked to the hub too.
There was a marvelous article on Walmart in The Economist, which had a comment to the effect that "Walmart plays up their image as a bunch of hicks from the backwoods of Arkensas because it gives them the element of surprise when they move in for the kill."
Asteroid (meteor?) strikes are more common than you'ld think; just in 1908 what was probably a comet struck Siberia with the force of a good-sized atom bomb and leveled 1200 square miles of forest. Had an inhabited area been struck, destruction would have been massive.
Our best estimates seem to be this this is likely to happen every few hundred years; given that such an event might kill millions, it seems worth a minimal effort to take out a bit of insurance, and at least as sensible as banning GMOs.
Well, that's why a good player won't wait until they have a considerable number of zealots; they'll send the first 6, or mix in some goons before coming. (If you're going to wait, you'll want to upgrade the zealots anyway, and once you've done that you may as well build a few goons, too).
Well, it's the defense spending for _every single state_ too, isn't it? Defense is centralized because it doesn't make sense for every state to have it's own aircraft carrier, but it's perfectly sensible for each state to run its own schools.

So, other than the storage and display it's fine?

Emeralds and Opals are relatively fragile.
(Rubies, like diamonds, are quite sturdy).

Nah, use a laser for the main uplink. Dunno what you use for the links to endpoints; one of those new wireless ethernet variants?
US military spending as a percentage of GDP has been dropping slowly since the 1950s, though...

It replaces /dev/null (a blackhole for bits) with the file, rather than dumping the file in.

Yes, but if the SCO code was delivered in the form of a sale it's not clear they can restrict use of their copyrighted material other than copying.
Now, an EULA, if enforcable, could indeed further limit the users' rights.

Damn it. Now I'm going to have to go to Autozone and buy lightbars to rice out my PII-350 to show my support.
Autozone stock (AZO on NYSE) is down almost 7% as I write this. That's uninformed reaction... might be some easy money here. :)

Gosh, I'm sure they're all broken up about the fact that this will distract from their quarterly earnings announcement the day after tomorrow.
I initially read that as "revenue from bridge trolls"...
Could be worse. I used to work with a proprietary MDDB that had a GUI toolkit called the "Presentation Management System".
Because you may also be able to use it to aim an asteroid towards earth.

Not to worry. If there's anyplace on the planet that knows how to stop a zergling rush, it's South Korea.
Look out for the Japanese Sumo Corps! They'll be able to fight for years...
