Does this amazing miniature RC video-controlled kit remind anyone else of the plot of 'Danny Dunn, Invisible Boy', a preiscient book I read repeatedly as a kid.
They would not have to port the libraries, they could just call them up from their new linux implementation. They would have a good case for a fair use defence. In any case, it very much seems that AutoZone ported their applications to linux and did not need to use the application compatibility libraries.
IKEA sells a cable tidy kit (I can't find it on their website, although it's shown in some of the catalog photos) containing a hard plastic spiral that goes round cables, this might not be as appetising for your cat. You could also reposition your cables so they aren't as easily accessible, or tape them down.
Cats seem to know exactly where you don't want them to be, and will invariably end up there. Good luck!
Anyone else remember The Last One from the eighties? It seems like a 4GL that will free management from pesky programmers is always just around the corner.
Programming is a *creative* skill, at least the way I do it...
MI2G has an established history of releasing publicity seeking press releases that security researchers find to be questionable. I'd have to see a third party review of their methodology before I would trust their analysis. I don't doubt there are security concerns about linux as much as any other OS, and I'd be interested to see some hard actionable evidence.
Good idea, and contact your local Trading Standards Office too, they will likely refer your complaint to the Hertfordshire TSO, which covers SCO UK's Office. You can find your local TSO through http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk/
Whitelisting like this would increase the advantage of impersonating well-known email addresses to spam, so it would have to be used in conjunction with a further verification step. Using personalised sender email addresses would be one way to do it, a combination of email address+SMTP host would be another way to limit impersonation.
There is also a potential security risk here, where through impersonation a sender could find out if a particular address was in your whitelist.
This investment isn't as speculative as it might first appear. RBS have $30M worth of preferred convertible shares. They can happily short against these to reduce their risk, lock in some cash profits, then as long as SCO doesn't go bust they collect 30% interest over 4 years. This deal has been set up so that BayStar and RBC will at least get their money back, even if SCO rapidly goes bust, and they do very very well if SCO hangs on for 3 years.
This is the only way junk like SCOX can get cash funding.
EDS announced just a few days ago that it was partnering with Sun to supply the Java desktop. Surprise surprise, then we find out Sun has been busy lining up the NHS as a potential client.
Most the NHS's problems are down to underfunding. Private schemes are considerably more costly with little additional benefit. And try getting medical insurance for the kind of long-term care you can get under the NHS.
I think if this is going to work it needs to be a standard like RFCs are standards, something that can be adhered to as a baseline but with plenty of scope for extension. We don't actually want everybody 'singing from the same hymnsheet' what we want is a system that will support a set of baseline standards so that it becomes progressively easier to write and publish packages for it, to install it and get a more consistent new user experience.
It should also be modular, so you can choose a set of modules above the package level, depending on the use of the machine. This would allow for corporate standards, eg OpenOffice/StarOffice/KOffice, or Gnome/KDE, which could be applied by companies or distros, but with a baseline duplication/override where appropriate. It would be great for a user to be able to log into a newly built machine, specify where their preferences are stored and get the user interface/available applications configured as closely as possible. Using XML standards? Advisories for things like maintaining a graphical boot/install, login process, help systems and new user support would boost user confidence.
Also you will never get complete agreement on how this should work, so it should allow someone to go down the road less travelled if they want to, so if there's going to be a certification process it should allow for that as long as it meets standards for basic usability/fallback to the baseline/emulation of the baseline/documentation. This could be done as postfix emulates sendmail, in document standards like iCalendar, or help systems like how Excel used to provide support for Lotus 123 users.
So often open software gets beaten over the head for being communistic. It is communitarian, but it is closer to free market libertarianism than communism.
The marginal cost of the production of software is now zero. It really is economic to give it away.
Adam Smith would have welcomed free software with open arms. This is hopefully the 'invisible hand' that will dismantle Microsoft's monopoly.
I found it quite disturbing when Mail on my new Powerbook started auto-filling account names from my SuSE box when I was addressing emails. Sometimes ease of use is just too opaque.
Yes, try finding a small named hotel and you will be presented with thousands of useless semi-working booking/aggregation sites, each almost identical and generally content free or out of date. Somewhere round the last page you will find Fodor's for an actual useful description of the facilities and a direct phone number rather than one for a call center where they'll claim to be ofering a discount whilst quietly pocketing a 10% booking fee.
I love you Google, but you're going to have to get more proactive.
I got that error when trying out creating a Swing App in Xcode, system upgraded from 10.2. Apart from that I've nad no problems.
My one remaining post-install question is what is the @-on-a-spring icon that appears next to the trash in the Panther documentation (and on the box) am I missing something?
On Enderle's planet, there is noone between the Pros and the Priests, anyone reasonable just buckles down and buys Windows to help pay his salary.
This would have looked rather less like a troll if he had actually bothered to substantiate the 'threats' and 'lies' he's received. We all know there are idiots out there on all sides, and we might have just nodded in agreement and passed on. I don't see Enderle saying that Microsoft is bound to fail because of some of the loonies on the MSFT stock boards.
Also, if Microsoft wasn't making license payments to SCO to support its IP racket, if it didn't have a history of destroying competition by any underhanded means necessary, if it had at least taken the antitrust settlement seriously, its sock puppet 'analysts'would be better able to claim the moral high ground.
I'm not surprised he's confused. Even Baystar's CEO thinks he's investing in a 20 year company that is 'owner of Unix'. And Baystar's 'white paper' about PIPEs is verging on misleading.
I'm wondering how Royal Bank of Canada got involved in this, are they just the sucker's sucker, or is someone else quietly funding this out of sight of the DoJ.
There is a big difference between drag and transvestism. Most of the TVs I've met have been either straight or bisexual, in fact most TVs dress up at home and don't let even their wivess find out. When you see coverage of a pride parade on TV, they're going to pick the most outrageous spectacle. So I can see why it seems that way.
I know it's off-off-topic but Izzard would be a fabulous strange and intelligent Dr Who, but I think unfortunately he"s probably got bigger fish to fry. My vote for fantasy Dr Who goes to Steve Buscemi.
The controversy is widely discussed, all the information is out there. HIV (in the West at least) has one of the most informed and influential patient groups ever seen, and there have been significant numbers of patients who have followed alternative/complementary/holistic paths.
I have known people with AIDS who eschewed AZT for macrobiotics or acupuncture - and most of them are now dead. Duesberg is not the defense attorney all the cops are mad at, he's the defence attorney who pisses everyone off by turning up at he wrong courthouse with the wrong brief.
There was a political issue with the sexually-transmissible hypothesis for the gay community, for obvious reasons, and some actively championed Duesberg. Having Duesberg's friends in the media trumpet that safer sex was not important really blew this up into a divisive issue. Given that, it's not suprising that he has been marginalised.
I'm a sceptic and a nonconormist with deep issues with the way the pharm industry works. I actually have some sympathy for him. Some of his ideas are really interesting, but has he given us one useful clue that has translated into treatment? No.
Duesberg is yet another example of a brilliant innovator who began to believe in his own infallability.
He has turned into the troll of the HIV world simply because his ego will not allow him to back down from an initial hypothesis that has long ago been abandoned in the face of research and clinical experience.
It's his choice to sit on the sidelines with the conspiracy theorists. If his research was shown to have any shred of value you can bet he'd have all the funding and all the media atttention he feels he deserves.

Nickel and diming is still a hidden cost, unless its itemised on every bill.

Can you really sue a 32-bit address?? Bizarre.

What a tangled web...
I didn't get it either. Has it been withdrawn?
I agree with your sentiment, however SCOX has low liquidity, a large insider holding and fast increasing short interest.
There could easily be a short squeeze on the stock, and the price is easily manipulable.
Those who do short should make sure thay have a decent cash balance to pay any margin calls.
Good luck to you if you are short though. IMHO they're currently way overpriced.
