Run Quake3 with the video card and check out the frame rate and image quality. Run it under UT also and every other 3D game you can. Then compare the framerates and image quality. Who cares what it's 3DMark is. Did you a buy the card to specifically run it under 3DMark? Most people buy these cards for playing games so comparing how it runs the actual game to other cards is the only meaningful measurement.
That way the government is more likely to enforce the law. If it was up to an individual to enforce it, they would have to spend most of the 11,000$ as attorny fees bringing the telemarketer to court. Not to mention the waste of time and effort. The government on the other hand will go in an all out frenzy after these people, especially after Bush's tax cut, and the government has a lot more power behind it than the average Joe.
SCO declares that YellowTABs OS "BeOS" is infringing on SCOs IP. According to SCOs CEO Darl McBride: "We ran the BeOS through a machine code debugger and found sections of 10-15 instructions that are the same as those used in our product." SCO says that people need to stop using the new BeOS or face lawsuits.
Darl McBride also said that if YellowTAB were to buy a larger license, like the Entire-SCO-Company "license", the problem may disappear. When asked how a fledgling startup company like YellowTAB could buy SCO, McBride replied: "Right now even a few dollars is better than a counter lawsuit, besides I have my golden parchute. Hahah. Wait, is that tape still recodi...."
When people think of hydrogen they think of the Hindenburg burning up. As it turns out it was not the hydrogen that caused the Hindenburg to burn, it was the coating on the balloon.
It's funny how people who fear using hydrogen to power anything still pump natural gas directly into their kitchen stove.
I was about to write a long response but there is a box below the/. article saying I need to upgrade my computer before hackers get into it. I guess I'll upgrade and get back to you all later.
It must cost MS about 5 cents to punch a cd so at $1 billion they must be sending out about 2^10 cds!
Ok we know what MS is really saying. Heck why can't I make a program called "Mongoose's Image Viewer", charge 100,000$ for each copy but then "donate" it for free to organizations around the world. I will have donated millions of dollars then!
How do they test this thing?

What I always wonder is how they test the effectiveness of these things. How do they know that it's going to knock people out?

If there was any code of value, it would likely be in several pieces. They could reveal one piece so that everybody knows they are serious and they can prove they have a case, and say "there are several others that we will reveal later". This would be far more damaging to Linux than their current actions and would make Microsoft happy. Therefore I feel pretty confident now that they have no case whatsoever.
Now I can use my monitor for what I've always intended, to see what's behind it not on it.
Call and ask the two places.

Call both places and say you have a product you'd like to sell through his email marketing services. If the person has no idea what you are talking about, it might not be him. But if the person says ok and starts talking about his bulk email service... bingo.
Now put this information to use.

I've never heard of for() being a macro. What C implementation uses a macro? I would love to know.

Why don't all the commercial linux vendors get together and counter sue SCO for their slandering of Linux. Maybe it will shut them up for good.
That or blow up their headquarters. Ok that's a little extreme. Burn it down slowly...

Next let's take over the MS Update site and put REAL patches on there. Then when the client updates his system, he won't be installing more holes.
