They are different, but not "very". Depriving someone of something they have (property) and something they should have obtained in the future (payment) are nothing like as far apart as you seem to think.
no copyright OR trademark on the word WINDOWS. This was covered a few months ago when MS sued Lindows. This does not mean you can call a dostro "Windows" as that would be misleading and deceptive.
You can't have it both ways: you can't say that only "Microsoft Windows" means the Windows but then say that any other use of "Windows" could be hauled up for passing of as Microsoft.
"Windows" is not trademarked by Microsoft. "Microsoft Windows" is.
Yeah, right. Try this and call us back (if your prison allows outside calls): download Mandrake and write an auto-running script that boots off a cd-rom and installs the whole KDE system. Then box it and call it "Windows" and sell it for 20 dollars or so.
Obviously, you'll never hear any complaints from Microsoft about this. For good measure, release a boxed set of OpenOffice and call it "Office for Windows" (meaning your previous boxed set). Finally, get all your money and burn it before M$ takes it off you.

My Visit to SCO
·
· Score: 1
If I read this loony's adolescent foreshadowing correctly ("all subsequent OS's") then he intends to take on Microsoft too, for NT?
Well, why not? It's not like it makes any less sense, is it?
I own maybe 30 O'Reilly Titles and "MySQL and mSQL" is easily the worst one of the bunch.
Ah, so you don't have "Linux Network Administration", then? Otherwise known as "10% of the information of TCP/IP Network Administration for 90% of the price".
Says she gets about 2 hours from the battery depending on how much rough terrain she goes over
Presumably this will go down further as she gets more and more obese until she has to quit because of the knee trouble she'll get from being overweight and standing for long periods while going over bumps etc.
Of the more than 30 ORA books I have this is the worst; you'll get far more use out of TCP/IP Network Administration by Craig Hunt (with occasional reference to DNS and Bind for more detail). I'd avoid the O'Reilly book "Running Linux" too. These two books have nothing you can't get a better, more detailed and clearer version of from the web. I use the "Sed & Awk" book more than these two combined.
Please do! It's been a total waste of time and money being a member of the EU. For a few billion quid a year we get told how to run our country for the benefit of French farmers. Whoop-de-fucking-do!
Meanwhile, it's hard to go shopping without getting several items made in China and huge whacks of the service industries are under threat from cheap labour in India.
What are the advantages of being in the EU that the poor Chinese and Indians are missing out on? They must be kicking themselves for having to only trade with us and missing the opportunity of having their laws overruled and their fiscal policy interfered with by a bunch of witless jerks on six figure job-for-life salaries.
That's an option, probably for the next post-Bush administration.
As opposed to the post-Bush administration that comes before it?
Given that Bush might well be followed by Jeb Bush, then the next post-Bush administration might actually be a Bush administration, in which case the OP was right!
This is assuming that they still bother with elections by that point, of course.
Any word on when MS are going to act on the results? If you think MSOffice is better in this respect then you need to spend more time with people that weren't taught how to use it at school; it's a riot!
I recently almost got an MS shop over to OO but was stalled by the fact that Quickbooks has a button to export directly into Excel without an intermediate file, while the option to export to a file produces a third rate spreadsheet without formulae etc.
So: does anyone know if it's possible to replace Excel for this function?
I'm sure as a comedian he would've loved you stealing his joke from "Relentless."
Since when was a simple statement of the facts a joke? Rumsfeld arranged the sale of several types of plague, plus Anthrax and West Nile Virus, to Saddam, so what's the joke in pointing this out?
updating gentoo seems just as easy as updating red hat.
It's easier in fact. The whole dependancy lark is handled much better by Gentoo and you don't have to worry about support being dropped after x years. I'm moving all the servers I maintain to Gentoo as they reach the end of their RH lifetime. I've used RH since version 5.0 and the change is only because of the maintainance issue.
Installation is much harder but you install once and maintain for years so it's worth the extra up-front hassle.
I worked for a company that supplied machines for JPM and I can assure you that the UK versions of these machines cheat from start to finish. We had code which basically added up the takings and doled out wins in a way that made sure the machine was making a profit. In fact, if the machines want to pay out it can be quite hard to play so badly as to avoid a win!
All this code had to be removed for US exports.
None of this is particularly secret (no NDAs etc were required).
It's a trade show. Nowhere in any of the linked articles does anyone say what the legal theory for a lawsuit against SCO would be
SCO are sending out letters basically saying that anyone that attends LinuxTag (by virtue of being Linux users or sellers) are in breach of their double-secret IP and should stay at home and load up AIX (or whatever it is SCO still sell) instead. It's pretty obvious where the damage to LinuxTag as a company is and why they could claim damages.
For better or for worse, we use the electoral college to determine who becomes president.
That being the system where one candidade gets his brother to remove 57000 of the other candidate's supporters from the election before you start and then has the count fiddled in areas where you know you won't win.
I'm tired of hearing whiny knee-jerk liberals complain about how Bush "stole" the position from Al Bore.
Yeah, the truth is just SO boring, isn't it?
The blazingly blatant fact is that Bush won Florida.
Yes, in the way that it was blatant that Ben Johnston won the Seoul Olympic 100m. Sometimes it's more important to pay attention to what happened after the race.
Many (otherwise left-wing) Florida newspapers have verified that, even if stupid voters were taken into account, Bush would still have won Florida.
They may have done that, but they'd be wrong. Even if the mis-counting was the real issue (which it is'nt). You are probably thinking of reports based on this CNN/Times back report. Trouble is, the "investigation" that is refered to in the CNN report actually found the opposite, ie that Bush lost. CNN etc simply lied. Basically, like Gore, they backed down in the face of the poitical power of a man that makes Nixon look like George Washington.
The actual NORC data showed that the Supremes' aborting of the recount prevented Gore from winning by over 40000 votes. And that's still before we look at what might have happened if Jeb Bush had not prevented 57000 legitimate voters from registering in areas of Gore support.
If you want to look at the data yourself instead of letting others do it for you then it is available from here but it is a 125MB download!
By saying that Bush should not be president, you must believe inherently that idiots should be given special treatment in the ballot box.
In fact, that's exactly what did happen. If you lived in a Bush area your ballot machine almost certainly had the "retry" function switched on, in which case an idiot that marked the paper incorrectly would have it returned for another try. In Gore areas this was switched off so the same mistake would simply loose you your vote.
I don't think they should be held to standards any different than that of those who can "bang the rocks together".
Well, Jeb clearly doesn't agree with you there.
Why is it so hard for you to admit that the man in the White House is there by a massive campaign of dishonesty and criminal activity for which the evidence is over-whelming? What does it cost you to stand up to him? Are you embarassed? Is that a good reason to allow an unelected man to rule America and send its troops to die in order to further his friends' and families' business ventures? Would it be different if it was your brother or sister that died for that?
Gore IS president (and an asshole, but that's not the issue here), and Bush is an unelected, military dictator of the classic type (money and favours to his supporters, war, fear and lies for the people).
SURELY it is an abuse of their position (illegal?) just to muscle into other markets by way of financial attrition?
Nothing in George W. Bush's America is illegal to the rich. He made that pretty clear via the Microsoft Vs DOJ case as soon as he had seized control from President Gore.
