If I was one of the artists caught up in this, I'd be suing for alleged non-performance and wilful negligence. Their contracts might prevent them from suing for having their names associated with appalling, badly written, copyright infringing or duplicitous 'protection' software, but they'd have a good case if their sales fall.
The ROKR phone always seemed like a market test of concept rather than an all out iPod phone, it's clear they disappointed the Apple cheerleaders, but they've got time to catch up if it is a limited success.
Name 5 reasons the ordinary PC user would want to use Linux -- that don't involve negative comparisons with Windows, and don't involve Unix oogware such as latex or emacs.
I'd never buy Linspire, but you have to admire the chutzpah. Someone needs to call Microsoft's bluff, even if the reality would be that 90% of S. Korea would rather pirate Windows.
Ubuntu seem to be successfully marketing their distro at Mac-coveting, Greenpeace-supporting students, we need more of the same. Bring it on...
Hook up another box on a hub and check the network traffic. Obvious signs are connections to addresses that can be traced to irc servers or use of irc ports. The first time I found a bot nest, it scared me like Doom 3 never could. If this means nothing to you, get some expert interactive help.
Being gay does not entirely stop you reproducing, or if you don't, helping rear your family's offspring thereby increasing their survivability. Maybe it's also caused by a genetic adaptation that confers advantages in some circumstances?
That QuickTime is so lame (and even more that outside the US Quicktime Pro costs twice as much) is the biggest problem I have with OS X. You pay over a grand for an over-engineered powerbook and don't even get FSV. Thank the lord for VLC.
If your video is that important, give me DiVx/xViD avis and I'll be happy.
That, of course is the innovator's dilemma in action. A relatively minor improvement in browser functionality, which Microsoft failed to exploit, has become a real opportunity for the competition. Witness not only gmail, but the slew of ajax word processors, calendars, websites... finally, the Netscape Halloween threat of browser-as-platform has been made reality. Oops.
I have run kde under X11 in the past to use the fish:// support in konqueror. To my mind this is preferable to any sort of ftp, with a key pair set up it's easy, and if you use ssh anyway, has no other setup requirements or firewall issues.
She was rather too credulous about Darl McBride's initial claims about code copying, and the examples shown at SCOForum in 2003 that were pretty conclusively shot down soon after.
I think she was duped like a lot of the trade press and hopefully she learned her lesson.
There's been a lot of febrile speculation about her motives, but most of it is unsubstantiated or just plain malicious. She's written some interesting stuff about linux which doen't back up the idea that she's Yet Another astroturfer for SCO or anyone else.
http://groklaw.net/ has had some discussion about OSS for lawyers in the past, particularly around WordPerfect import/export issues (WP still having something of a stronghold in legal circles)... there must be some lawyers out there with the same issues as you, and if there isn't a LawLUG why not start one?
What aout using a laptop logging GPS position and wifi signal strength at 2 second intervals. You'd possibly need to make the range of the wifi card smaller. Get whoever pushes the post troilley around to take it with them. From the logged data, it should be possible to locate each AP on a GPS map...
Yes, I would urge caution in seeing this as a victory for the anti-patent side. It is clear that the pro-patent side was willing to see this bill killed off rather that have the FFII's amendments voted into law.
The patent lobbyists will be back, if not in the EU then in every national parliament. Congratulations to the FFII, in stopping this and putting the spotlight on the software patent issue. It's a huge achievement.But this is only the first battle.
It's worth a lot of money to Microsoft and front organisations like the BSA to shut down competition using patents, hopefully with the issue now more widely known they will find it increasingly difficult to spread lies and buy off politicians.
That's a great way to market a movie to geeks. Maybe if Spielberg had called his new sci-fi epic 'War of the Worlds (SCO Sucks)' he'd have got some more publicity and done better opening weekend business, it's just a suggestion.
A font (or fount) was traditionally a set of cast metal type of a particular style and size. A typeface is the design or set of designs used to make those fonts.

Hopefully it is just a small number of units, or Microsoft's spangly launch is so doomed.

No viruses or spyware,.
No licensing worries.
Comes with free office apps.
Works just like my web host.
Choice.

If they can get away with it for ringtones, of course they'll try and gouge you for songs too.
Just say no.

I'd sue your felt manufacturer. Lint-free cloths or screen wipes seem to work fine.
If they don't sort it out, find a new ISP.

Who let that one get out?

Make them use a VPN and personal firewall at all times. With broadband, thisis easier than ever. Sizing your VPN setup is the hardest part.
That's why no-one bothers about split infinitives any more.
Lots of those hard-and-fast formal rules were grafted onto english by nineteenth century classics scholars hoping to purify the language.
Yes, is this just hype and deliberately pent-up demand? A lot will be down to sustaining sales by delivering great games.
No Nintendogs in the UK yet to switch attention to the DS.
It wasn't Laura DiDio who invaded PJ's privacy. it was Maureen O'Gara (of course, with the assistance of SCO).
We haven't heard much from Maureen since...

Good luck.
Everyone who I've ever met who works for a US financial institution has been a a VP. Is there actually any lower job title?

Yes, the article is worth it just for the download link for a patched libfreetype for OS X that does reasonable quality anti-aliasing. Love it!
