More recent posts at groklaw would seem to suggest that Brent Hatch was also there for the SCO side, although there's no indication he said much of anything. I believe he's the one who's related to (son of?) Utah senator Orrin Hatch.
What's really bizarre is that apparently none of the high-priced lawyers from Boise & Co. even showed up at the hearing. SCO was represented by...
Darl McBride's brother.
WTH? Did DB finally realize his client was, um, fibbing to him and that he was filing a frivolous lawsuit?
The really telling thing is whether the upcoming copyright suit against a user comes from the Boies firm or from SCO directly. If the latter, we can figure that Boies has wised up and is inching away with his cash.

No, in this case, i is sqrt(-1).
These are Darl's imaginary computers on which he ran the analysis that found matches between SCO and Linux source code.
IANAP, but if you have an anti-scalding showerhead that's not wildly implausible. They work by maintaining a constant pressure ratio between hot and cold, so if the temperature of the hot lines changes the maximum setting on it may need to change.
It's also a heavy metal, and these are notoriusly good for health. Not.
Well, then, I guess we'll go back to lead, which hey! is also a heavy metal. Of course, we'll have to fire ten times as many bullets, because the lead isn't as effective a penetrator, but at least there'll be none of that scary Uuuuraniaum.
"[...]they have never seen an angry penguin charging them at speeds in excess of 100 mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had."
Well, there isn't exactly a how. Thermodynamics guarentees us that non-reversable gates will use energy. It doesn't guarentee that it's possible to build a reversable one that doesn't; it does guarentee that any gate which doesn't lose energy is reversable.
Although it should have been obvious all along, and probably was if anyone cared. It follows directly from thermodynamics, although the result is a little odd; in essence, there's no theoretical lower bound on how much energy it takes to compute; it's forgetting that takes energy. Ergo, in theory a computer that never loses any data (is reversable) doesn't necessarily use any energy.
It's not 100% clear that Linuxant is in the clear here - you can make a pretty good case that DriverLoader is a derivative of the Linux kernel and thus subject to the GPL.

Same reason the US did such a useless thing, to keep up with the communists (Chinese, in this case).
It wasn't all that long ago China and India fought a small border war; their relations are not particularly friendly.

It was in a comment on one of the older Groklaw stories, apparently from an observer who was there in person.
Obviously, I can't vouch for this, but I expect groklaw will have a more complete summary up later tonight.
(And it was really Kevin McBride, btw, for those who missed the reference.)

Of course, to patch this, you should go to your local mirror, which will be down until they patch the rsync vulnerablity...
Doh!

Urk. Emacs does, in fact, have its own internal window manager, font manager, vfs, config files, browser, file manager...
It's funny because it's true.
What I don't get is why he wasn't charged with reckless driving.

Which Merrill Lynch does, btw. Interestingly, I hear they're using a self-maintained version of Redhat for their deployments.

In fact, EU economic policy keeps it's member states debt fairly controlled.
Oh, you mean the stability pact that France and Germany, the two biggest economies in Europe, are flouting?
I'd be surprised if US debt as percentage of GDP is much above the European average, but I could be wrong. Numbers please?
"Starting Tuesday, we will no longer recognize Microsoft copyrights in Europe."
These are for evidence, not testimony. Probably they're demanding a log of all email Linus recieved while working at Transmeta.
Subject says it all.
You can't save the charge unless you save the result. Thermodynamics occasionally sounds like magic, but it will bite you in the end somehow.
But, no, you don't ever lose data. You can just back out the operations sequentially.
Well, there isn't exactly a how. Thermodynamics guarentees us that non-reversable gates will use energy. It doesn't guarentee that it's possible to build a reversable one that doesn't; it does guarentee that any gate which doesn't lose energy is reversable.

I would have thought Fujitsu, possibly Apple or Sony. Nokia?
I've noticed over the years that the occasional spammer wanders in to the kernel mail-list, probably by accident... and is never heard from again.
You know, is it just me, or is Tux getting fatter and fatter? Just wondering...
Your friend was an idiot.
First, you have to evaluate insurance by its price.
More importantly, Bush couldn't sign Kyoto for the same reason Clinton never did - it would have to be approved by the US Senate first.
Which will happen sometime after global cooling takes effect in Hell.
All Bush did to stop pretending that we were ever going to ratify it.

Does this mean that IIS will be ported to FreeBSD?
