One other thing to keep in mind when associating people with SCO - is which particular SCO is being talked about? There's the "Santa Cruz Operation" which had been around for quite some time, and produced Xenix, SCO Open Server, etc. They purchased the UNIX System V business from Novell. I like to call them Old SCO.
Then there's Caldera Systems. They purchased much of the assets of Old SCO (who then changed their name to Tarentella) and then renamed themselves to The SCO Group. These are the people who are currently involved in all the litigation etc against IBM, Novell, Redhat, Daimler Chryster and Autozone.
Or you could alternatively take the trillions that it costs to invade other countries and kill large swathes of their population, and spend that on helping the startving people instead. Why should it be NASAs funding that gets used?
Do you really think that in 100 years domain names will exist in any way vaguely recognisable as what they are today? Sure, you could pass it on as a legacy, but your grandkids are going to wrinkle their noses and say "What is this.com thing stuck on the end?"
On the flip-side, being given a correct diagnosis of a real problem such as Asperger's Syndrome has enabled many people to find information on tackling and overcoming the difficulties they're faced with in day-to-day situations. Flippantly dismissing with a "They might suffer a bit in the beginning, but will learn to adjust" smacks of someone who doesn't understand nor care about the issues, and probably causes as much damage, if not more, than the cases of incorrect/overzealous diagnosis.
So you layer the filtering. Use this as the first run. Throw 50% of the spam directly to/dev/null. In the stuff that gets through, you run your bayesians and your spamasassins. That filters into your spam folder, which you can then scan for false positives - it reduces by half the overall load of manual checking from the situation before, where you were just bayesian and spamfiltering.
That wouldn't work in this case. Overflowing a signed integer so that it wraps around to negative won't be picked up by checking if the value is greater. Using the correct datatype (unsigned int) would have been better.
(in fact, looking at the code snipped in the vulnerability notification, they do check against Offset > size of buffer)
How on earth was this modded up to +4 Informative?!?
The poster seems to lack basic English comprehension skills. "In contrast to copyrights" means it is visibly different to copyrights. There is nothing at all misleading or false about the statement.

> "actual piracy is incredibly rare"
According to a recent news article its not as rare as you'd think. In 2003 there were 445 reported incidents.
Yep - its always that fith pint of beer that makes me say silly things too.

Yeah.. I keep forgetting that Slashdot inserts random spaces into URL's which aren't hyperlinked.

She previously had a good job which was taking her time and paying her money. Why should this new job suddenly make her stop working on Groklaw?
However, the end user *is* liable for patent infringement.

Does "emptying the clip into them" constitute reasonable force in the US these days?
There's also CyberKnight's complaint in to the ACCC in Australia, and the Redhat vs SCO in Delaware.

Can you point me at an example of multi-player solitaire? Its a one player game. It even says so in the name of the game.
Those patents all relate to network gaming for card games. Now I was under the impression that Solitaire was a single-player game (hence the name)
How would that relate to network play?
I can think of more than three different sports called football in the English Speaking World.
Soccer
Rugby Union
Rugby League
American Football / Gridiron
Australian Rules Football
Gaelic Football
All of which have quite distinctly different rules.
Kama is more closely translated to Lust, rather than Love.
And you think its a reasonable work-around for an end user to be editing registry entries in order to get functionality that is specified in the RFCs?
Which is all very nice and well.. but it is not what he wants, and doesn't answer his question.
One shouldn't project ones own values onto everyone else.

Groklaw has a bunch of them transcribed into text in the comments to their story on this.
I'd have to agree with your conclusion :-)
