Is anyone doing a good multitrack editor in the style of Adobe Audition? And don't tell me Audacity. I mean a really good multitrack editor with loop editing and the whole shebang. Audacity is great until you need to do 20 tracks or something like that.
There were a whole host of problems, including late starts, moving specs, a plan for a small system that was changed to make a plan for a large system by simply multiplying the spec for the small system, construction interferance, etc.
Software Runaways has lots of information about this projects problems. And lots of good info about other runaway projects such as the new ATC system that hasn't gotten off the ground yet.
Free roofing service on my house. Of course I had to pay for the shingles, but still, bartering off the labor knocked back half the cost.
Free dental work. To this day I haven't paid real money for dental work for myself. I keep insurance for the wife and kids, but whenever I have a dentist appt, I just have them credit it off towards what they "owe" me for on again off again support.
The usual stuff as well. Leftover RAM, hard drives, etc after doing an upgrade on someones computer.
You know the background info that every news article has about the companies referenced in the article. I just read this on the nyse.com website in reference to SCO. This was from a linked article on the nyse.com site.
SCO Group is a software company whose products enable the development, deployment and management of Linux specialized servers and Internet access devices that simplify computing.
IBM makes computers, storage products and software.

Is it just me or is the SCO description a little more flowery than the IBM one. I am not sure if it is just me or if it really seems like he is trying to talk up SCO and minimize IBM.
It is my understanding that it is much easier to incorporate in Delaware than in other states of this great union. Now this is just anecdotal based on what I have read in/on various entrepenuer geared magazines/websites.
Why is is easier, I don't really know, as I don't want to incorporate myself. Maybe it is just cheaper or something.
In addition, it helps to have someone who knows what is going on so that when the OBD lies, you know what it really is trying to tell you.
My wife's MIL (check engine light) came on. When I hit it with the code scanner, it came back as multiple misfires, and bad TPS (throttle position sensor). After checking, cleaning, and gapping the spark plugs, and checking that the voltage output of the TPS was correct (it was), I determined that the EGR (exhaust gas recirc) valve was clogged. Since the EGR connects to the engine and the throttle body, it was setting off the TPS sensor, and not its own code.
Dumb luck is how I happened to find out that a malfuctioning EGR can report as a bad TPS.
That is why you take it to a mechanic. If my mom or dad had OnStar diag the car and they told them that they had a bad TPS or EGR, they still wouldn't know if the car was ok to drive or not.
Oh, and cleaning the EGR valve also cleared the multiple misfires error as well.
I am no expert in DNA testing but I bet they could make a match from the leftovers of Uday and Qusay after they got smeared on the walls a few months ago.
You realize that is the poster's username, right? If you look at his/her email address, this person attends or works there. Based on that, I am guessing they can say what they want.

But I may be remembering wrong.
If Microsoft buys SCO it will be a lot like selling a running but ugly Chevy Nova for $50 bucks and then buying the rusted out frame of the car 20 years later for $5000.
Good point. At that may lend it to some Supreme Court scrutiny. Although congress and the prez seem to be fairly intent on screwing the American people with bad laws. I would have to give the Supreme Court justices fairly high marks for smacking some of them back down to a memory.
I have. Usually more of a "been awake for two days, and I have no idea why this works.", rather than beating the two drink minimum at my favorite lunchtime pub (though it has happened). Sometimes you end up coding on autopilot and have no idea why what you wrote works. Even if the code is crystal clear, if your head isn't, commenting and understanding can be a pain.
"You can just sell something else.. what level of control is there ? " We can sell NOTHING. We are state regulated. "What kind of BIG TROUBLE are you talking about anyway ? " Monetary fines mostly. I can't think of any instances where a casino's gaming license has been revoked. But maybe by some smaller mom and pop shops, who knows. And before you say 'Oh Casino's don't care about fines. They have plenty of money.' We watch every penny and fines aren't in the budget. Wanna see a quick way to piss off management. Get the casino fined. And that is what the Gaming Boards love to do.
I am telling you, whatever some of these lame dot-gones have done with selling/giving away of their customer data, WE DON'T. In any form, fashion, or idea.
Prepare to shoot me. I work in the property level IT department of a major casino (H*rr*h's).
We have tons and tons of data. Everything is collected, slot play, table play, comp usage, etc. BUT, we are bound BY LAW not to divulge that info with another casino company in any form (which would be stupid anyway), or ANY outside company.
When we mail invitations to customers, we have to pull the names based on criteria we think up, based on time played, denomination played, etc. We then provide an outside mailing house with the patron name and address, nothing more. And we DO NOT mail to anyone who chooses not to recieve mail. If we mail to someone who doesn't want mail or shouldn't recieve it because they have been banned or self-tresspased, we can get in BIG TIME trouble. That's it. Nobody gets to know that you ordered 'Debbie Does Everything' on the hotel payperview. Nobody knows that you lost your last paycheck (call 1-800-GAMBLER if you have a gambling problem or know someone who does). Only we know. And except for pulling mailing lists and trend analysis, we don't care.
But to make smart marketing decisions you keep everything. You have to.
We don't play by the same privacy rules as the rest of the world. We aren't allowed to, and probably wouldn't play like the rest of the world even if we could. Our customers are too important to us as a company.
Of course IANAL, but I play one at cocktail parties.
A NDA prevents you from discussing the technology, business practices, etc of the company with witch you signed it.
A Non-Comp agreement is what you sign that prevents you from working for a competive business.
I work in the casino industry, and non-comps are pretty common for upper level management. Usually with distance and time being the major restrictions (i.e. No working at another casino within 50 miles of where you work currently until a full year has passed from the time you quit/got fired).

Right now SCO's stock is up .20 over yesterday's close. But we have another 1.5 hours till the NYSE closes.

Or am I just being paranoid?
Which 7 figures?
Is that with or without the pennies? Because $1,000,000 is a lot more than $10,000.00

Thank god. I thought I was the only person who noticed how bad that must be.
Even if they did 1 month tours of duty. A month on a mountain peak, looking in one direction, 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We just decommissioned our last two UnixWare servers as of Jan 2 2004.
Right now the only job these servers have is holding up other servers inside the rack.
So I guess technically, our whole operation (well, half of it) rests on these two servers.
But not in any way that will help SCO.
Hey SCO: Neener, Neener, Neener!

This just screams of Dilbert. This guy must read the Dilbert newsletter and think that the Induhviduals really are onto something.
