No, dude, everyone on Earthlink doesn't share a whitelist, you each get your own. I think that last sentance should have had a comma between "Earthlink" and the next sentence.
being a bit more Maclike and locking Linux out of the desktop market.
That missing comma makes it sound like you mean Maclike = anti-linux and we all know that'snottrue. Be careful, someone oblivious to these things might see the page and think you meant something else.
Take a Microsoft Windows XP or Mac OS X machine out of the box and use it and it operates in a similar manner to LindowsOS - the first person to touch it can do whatever they want.
Mac OS X gives you your own UID under the group "admin". This is more than a plain user gets, but is less priviledged than being root/wheel. I'm not exactly sure what the difference is, although I'm sure it's described somewhere. I know I wasn't able to change other users' passwords or do various other root-only things from the shell with an admin group account, for that I needed to sudo (enter my own password at a prompt for 5 minutes of superuser-level access in that session only), or set a root password by doing `sudo passwd -u root' and logging in as root.
Perhaps Lindows should make the nessisary modifications to allow for such a thing? What about setuid'ing for operations that require root? I haven't gotten too familiar with programming under a POSIX type system before, but I have seen that suggested under other cases where permissions are a problem...
Wierd as it may sound, I can't fight a single boss in Link To The Past or any Wolfos or boss in Ocarina of Time without getting the chills. Something about the music and the sudden change in atmosphere, and the knowledge that if I die i gotta fight through that whole fscking fortress again! The way the sound effects and music go together, the cutscenes (where applicable), they really dont' just make a change in the game to alert the player, there is drama involved, a heightening of tension normally reserved for the big screen. More games need to do this the right way. Even Majora's Mask wasn't as gripping.
Nintendo has always had top-notch composers for their game music. All hail Koji Kondo!
In fact, Imma play some Ocarina of Time right now. w00t!
You'd think they'd notice if there was TWO signals with the same picture?
Re:SCO has another problem too

SCO DOS'ed
·
· Score: 1
I see what you guys are getting at, as in SCO published it's own secret code under GPL without knowing it so therefore, since they are the original copyright holders, this makes their code GPL'd.
In short: no. I don't think that will hold water.
They where unaware of their publishing of the code until later, and whole the only possibility of this I see here is if SCO is ruled to be neglegent in not checking over the code before releasing it themselves. However, this is not the issue here, so this matter may not even come up because even is SCO's code is is GPL'd now, it wasn't when IBM alegedly purpotrated this, and the code would never have been accidentally GPL'd had it not been for this chain of events. Therefore I'd think if the code has become legally GPL'd then IBM would be in more trouble, due tothe fact they've caused irreversable damage to SCO's IP.
Of courtse, that all depends on if SCO is full of shit or not.:-) Too much speculation, I guess what'll just have toooo wait it out. Erm, Backwards.
If every spam victim donated a dollar to support congressmen (IE, campaign funding) to do something about spam, then it'll get done. I for one am ready to help. Just put your name at the bottom of the list, and send $5 to the person at the top of the list. Now send the list to five of your friends and soon, real soon, we'll have enough money to buy a whole session of Congress. This is completely legitimate, a lawyer looked it over, but you mustn't break the chain.
Yes, and Instant Message this around, too, because AOL, Yahoo, and MSN are keeping track of how many times this message is sent, and if 1 million people send it to 5 of their friends, they will keep free Instant Messaging. Otherwise, prepare to feel your wallet lighten!!!11

Well then I RTFA'd... bug in a DLL under XP. I wouldn't call that "almost any version of MSIE past 4", but hey, this is Shashdot. At least I know it's not a fundemental problem with IE's rendering engine and it's simply an accidental thing that happened to a new Windows version. Windows with a bug, who'd have thought?;-)
Have already tipped off any developers to cover their stolen IP from SCO? I mean really, I don't think if some guy stole SCO code and put it in Linux that he's sitting there right now going "Gee, I wonder if that's MY code they mean!"
Also, I thought I read somewhere that SCO claims the code is not within the kernel?
The controlling computer should have a configure menu (of course only activated when you walk up to it:-) which would allow you to decide things like how to mix specific settings between two people. Perhaps you could have a group of settings specific to you, your wife, and then one for the both of you, in each room.
Also, I would imagine panels in each room which would allow for overrides, perhaps a small touch-sensitive LCD screen, or even one of those PDA-looking remotes currently used for home theaters. That way your wife can keep the lights dim, say, until your presence is detected for more than 30 seconds, at which time the system decides you've joined her and corrects the enviroment. Or you can enter a room and change settings for that room, and press a "hold" button to leave the room that way indefinately, which cures your SuperBowl party problem. Once everyone else leaves for the night, just tap that hold button to return to normal scheduled/automated settings. Hell, my thermostat does this now...
If I had one of these systems, I'd kind of be ticked if it wasn't 100% custom-configurable, so the whole Perl script control idea is just about how I'd like it to work.
IANAL, but if SCO has established a precident against a small Linux vendor, couldn't they have gone to IBM and said "Look, we have proof and a precident against you. We'll take a check, thanks."?

There is no RIAA-suing-college-kids style lawsuit here. They went right after someone who could afford to defend themselves, instead of trashing say, SuSe and RedHat.
On the other hand, it's IBM, who probably even has a patent on human life for christ sakes. Therefore I doubt we'll be seeing much more of SCO, especially if this suit doesn't hold water.
I never even bothered to install the "Falsh" plug-in, hell I dont' even know what that is. You shouldn't install strangely-named plug-ins from people who claim to work for Macromedia.
It would kick ass even more if the browsers would just load the HTML of the document in the popup window and display the titles of all the pop-ups which are blocked, then stuff them in a little menu so I can chose to have one displayed if I wish.
