Have a poke around on Groklaw - there are several people active there who identify themselves as lawyers who are certainly into FOSS that you could talk to.
This is the sort of thing that gets agreed on when you take the job. What notice period is specified in your contract? Anything longer than that is not reasonable. If there isn't one specified in your contract, usually 4 weeks seems to be common/reasonable.
Actually while it's customary to have many lines of address in England, all that is actually required is the house number, and the post-code. Everything else can be derived from those two. Having all the extra info just makes sure if you get the post-code wrong, it will still get to the destination.
SCO hasn't gone yet (They will shortly be delisted from NASDAQ, but then that doesn't mean they'll be gone either.. just the shares wont be traded there)
CSS support could work on a text browser by doing things like left and right alignment of text and justifying text. Making things bold or not. Possibly also setting the text colour if the terminal supports it.
SCO are alleging that IBM contributed code from AIX and Dynix into Linux, and that this contravened the licensing agreement that IBM had for using Unix System V code, which is the basis for AIX and Dynix.
The code they are alleging was copied however, was written by IBM, but incoporated into AIX and Dynix before being put over to Linux. So what it comes down to, and what is being tested in court is whether the Sys-V contracts that mention control of code can be extended to other code that is later incorporated into IBM's derived product.
You *do* realise that there was more than one fish in Finding Nemo? And that the grandparent was talking specificly about the fish which had the glowing light? Nemo was a clown fish. The one with the glowing light was, as the grandparent correctly suggested, an Angler Fish.
I'm not saying that one should never have to do it. I'm just saying that one should know ahead of time if there's likely to be any chance of an issue. Then take the appropriate action to make sure the system is in the state it needs to be in. Doing reboots after all changes "just in case" smacks of poor planning.
I don't come into the office after a long weekend to find the server is locked in a panic cycle. The reason why is that I *do* test properly. This involves quite a fair bit of preparation and planning and testing long before any changes even touch my production servers.
This does not involve rebooting production servers after any and all changes "just in case" which is what the original poster was indicating when he said that an uptime of more than a couple of months indicated poor skills.
If the change is one that would reasonably have some affect on startup procedures, then startup is tested. It is tested first in our development environment, then in our staging and disaster-recovery environments. By this stage I will know weather my changes are volatile or not, and I will know what needs to be done to ensure the change works correctly. I don't need to reboot my production servers to answer that question.
If you can't work out ifyour changes are volatile or not without rebooting the system then I suggest that it might be YOUR sysadmin skills that are lacking.
Personally, I make sure I know the answers to that sort of question before ANY changes are made to my production systems.
The problem is that Apple does not give you a choice about which country you use. If you're registered in the UK, then you can only purchase songs from the UK iTunes site. This is what is against EU regulations.

That is something that can be pointed out without having to run crack.

That would be a RJ11 (4 pin, not 8 pin like a RJ45)
If nothing else, they'll have the smell right.

Then again, delivering a fully addressed envelope is overestimating the Royal Mail these days.

Seems like a pointless piece of code if you have 100% firefox users already ;-)

Because the code they're being ordered to turn over is for AIX and Dynix, which isn't Open-Sourced.

It's a UK report where just about everyone is on a GSM phone.
Coincidentally, that is the book I'm currently reading.
Actually, Bow Bells were the bells at the Church of St Mary-le-Bow, at Cheapside, EC2, in the City. Not at Bow Church in Stepney.

Regular testing of a machine's ability to reboot will not have any bearing on weather the same machine will come up after a hardware failure.

Cheddar is what I normally have with it. Though i've also used Edam and Jarlsberg in the past.
They're perfectly legal to own in the UK. What isn't legal is to operate one without a license.
> please share your recipes that combine bannanas and cheese
Here's mine:
Toast some bread. Slice bananas on to it, cover the banana with cheese and pop it under the grill until the cheese melts.
Most people are quite dubious about this recipe when they hear it, but just about everyone who tries tasting it really quite likes it.
I have worked for several companies that have redundant web hosts.
