Heh, the last time I went looking for a rom for BasiliskII, I ran across it on some cross-stitching site where the owner was hawking their HyperCard pattern utility and suggesting you run it on an emulator.
I was just upset that BasiliskII wouldn't work with the rom dumped from any of my PowerBook 540, Color Classic, or Quadra 840AV.
The point I'm trying to make is that it wasn't SCO that fucked up, it was IBM improperly relicensing code. It's IBM that GPL'd code they had no right to GPL.
Just as an example, I'm running Debian here, and my terminal emulator of choice is rxvt. If I were to produce an add-on to rxvt, I would be bound to the GPL by Geoff Wing and Oezguer Kesim (I think, looking at the sourceforge page), not Debian.
I personally don't think SCO has a leg to stand on, but this is how I understand their arguement.
It's my understanding that SCO licensed their source to IBM under a proprietary license. SCO now claims that some of that proprietary code was improperly incorporated into Linux and distributed under the GPL. So, in effect, IBM was violating their proprietary license to SCO's code.
So it's the same thing as "$foo stole GPL'd code and put it in proprietary product $bar!" but backwards.
I'm surprised that there was never a later version of this game that used a Soul Calibur-style combat resolution system...
You may or may not like The Unholy War for PS1 ("From the creators of Star Control I & II and the co-designer of Archon", the packaging says). It works a lot like Archon on a hex grid, and the fights are in 3D.
The old bills haven't been removed from circulation. Not to knock you, but until the old bills are removed, the new ones don't do a damn thing to stop counterfeiting.
The flexibility of being able to put in new features is quite nice, but it has a pricetag, and you may create a situation where you have to maintain software in-house or have to pay a consultant $$$ for maintenance. Free, perhaps, but still plenty expensive.
How is this worse than the proprietary software upgrade cycle? You'd be paying your vendor for upgrades anyway. And the whole argument is that Free software doesn't necessarily mean no cost!
Furthurnet has (twice? three times?) removed all Phish shares because some moron put up a disc or two Phish was selling from their website. Everything on it is supposed to come from tapers trading shows where the bands authorize audience taping. Some good stuff, lotsa hippies.
The title of Best Hack and the coveted Victor A-Trap trophy went to asciiMac, the hands-down favorite hack. Written by a team of first-time MacHackers, Alexandra Ellwood and Miro Jurisic's hack wowwed and amazed the late night crowd. This retro-hack renders the entire screen in ASCII art in real time. The crowd thrilled to demonstrations of the hack's artistic prowess as it ASCII-converted running QuickTime movies and Windows 95 under PC emulation.
1. Read the mozillazine forums. Especially phoenix users. It's a 0.5 release, fer crying out loud!
2. Install Preferential. It gives you a primitive, regedit-type editor for all(?) of the options in mozilla/phoenix, even the ones that aren't in the original preferences UI.

I think Slashdot has a new tag line.

Oooh, new movie slam: Lucasoid!

Hah. Scooped you, taco!

Yeah, like
Although the most I've ever used was a 1680k-formatted disk for LEAF

I don't know if it's a function of Multizilla or not, but I can't get view source to not open in a new tab.
Marketrac. It's the only interesting app I've seen.

I'm not trying to knock you, I'm just plugging a cool product (although I'm just a user, myself).
Or, to mix it up, Slashdot is information-free.
