Flamebait, this stuff happens and is happening. I think people don't really know what flamebait is anymore. Sad but I think slashdot is getting dumbed down. Maybe too many project managers are reading this stuff now.
it to the highest bidder. And they will also outsource your stuff to even cheaper places off their shores and you'll get back crap that has to be re-written anyway. I think I'll learn to be a plumber, they make good money.
case? I intend to because I don't think this settlement is good enough. If I wanted to claim the money I would have to produce records of the software I got between those periods and that includes "Product ID"s, "Product Key"s, "CD Key"s. But I kept none of that information. Does anybody save that? And the amount refunded seems way too low. $16 Windows/MS-DOS, $29 Office, $26 Excel, $5 Word, Works Suite, Home Essentials 97 or 98. It's all falling short of true compensation for Microsoft's blatant abuses.
There's not that much technology in them. A bulb, a lens, the LCDs or the DLP, some mirrors, a fan or two. I would think they would cost much less than they do. What's keeping the price so high? Is it simply lack of demand? A television seems to have a lot more hardware than a projector so maybe it is demand that is driving the price.
defense? The idea that OSDL or anyone else has to pay to defend themselves against a company that's gasping for air with some wild claims is wrong. What costs can be recovered once SCO is shown to be insignificant and wrong? All attorney's fees, travel fees, dining, babysitting, lost wages??
Actually that would be great, instead of those little styrofoam beads blowing all over the planet we would have music blowing all over the planet. Talk about file sharing!!! Just reach down and pick up some new music. Let the RIAA just try to stop the wind from blowing.
What's the law regarding subpoenas? Do they have to show? What if they can't afford to get there? What if they have family issues that require them? What are the loopholes in getting around subpoenas?
This will no doubt be the most popular geek destination for the year. Assuming it ever happens.
What is it that you want to be able to say when you're done testing? And who do you want to say it to? By defining some of this at the start the pieces will more readily fall into place for you. There are a lot of tests suites out there now already and you should be able to find them once you know what you want to measure and what you want to report. This might be a good place for you to start: http://opensourcetesting.org/performance.php
Ok it has a single-chip design but I don't get it. A N64 can be had for $1.99 on ebay. The only reason I can see for developing this was to alter how games are distributed. Nintendo must have some real concerns about pirated games in China. And those concerns are warranted but certainly N64s must be common over there too?? Why would anyone spend that much for an older technology that can be had for lots less money?
of space and what better place to start than on mars. But maybe we've already been there? Maybe mars is what happened when mankind did to it what we are now doing to Earth? Perhaps the only small handful of people that got off Mars were unable to duplicate the technology of the craft that brought them here? Maybe they were the sons and daughters of politicians and only got on board because of their status? Anyway I hope we keep exploring space and that we find the right propulsion system to get us out (back) there.
This is the keyboard that all presidential secretaries are provided when they start. It's also used extensively by all the govt. "spook" orgs. for redacting documents.
>i've never tried the smtp ssl support, but the option appears to be there.
Well if the option's there then it must work!
Go look at bugzilla, people are having to switch clients because of this issue.
>regardless, why aren't you using your isp's mail server?
You should probably not be handing out advice on topics that you obviously know little about. Go do a search on SMTP outbound blocking by ISPs. Then maybe we can talk about something.
Sure they have neat themes but they can't even do SSL email! I was forced to change recently because my ISP blocked outbound SMTP. Lots of others have hit this problem but it has yet to be fixed.
Try Sylpheed, there's a native win32 version and of course *nix versions.
How do you give out IP addresses? Whatever the method don't do so until the machine has been quarantined and certified free of viruses. That means they have to take their machines to some office where they plug in and boot up and are checked for viruses, inoculated if needed then certified virus free. The certification would need to be carefully thought out. But it's doable.
Yes, we have/.'d kernel.org, maybe they're not running the 2.6 kernel or may be they are:^\
But maybe it's a sign of the times, linux is really gathering steam now. Thanks to SCO there has been lots of publicity for linux in the media. The difference with the SCO coverage is that it has been in the papers that are read by the movers-and-shakers, i.e. economist, WSJ, etc.
and it will not be considered a conflict of interest because SCOX is just a ubiquitous stock that it's in virtually everyone's portfolio. So what if the avg. volume is a pittance and that only the pump-and-dump crowd is participating in this not-even-an-also-ran company. And of course the final irony will be that Darl will be considered to have major cojones within the corporate world's CEO club and will be asked to join boards of lots of companies and consult for huge sums of money.

It's interesting to note that this form of reverse engineering is revered and those practicing are held in high esteem (usually) but that more meso-scale reverse engineering is considered lowly and usually is illegal. Ponder that....

Don't over-engineer, keep it simple use CVS or rsync.
