"You do not persecute a soldier for following orders."
Actually, soldiers can be prosecuted for following orders. Orders which they know are illegal, orders which violate human rights, massacres, gate guards at concentration camps, etc...
I don't think any tech should work on a machine running SCO. What the tech world needs is a 'Technical Death Penalty' where no tech will work on any machine with the offending software installed. Of course, this would only work for freelance techs, and companies that has any sort of self respect to not send a tech on a call that involves the offending software.
I know, I know, someones going to say "People will take the jobs because they have to eat." or some other such BS. No, people will take the jobs because they don't give a fuck what SCO does. I, myself, have turned down two jobs that involved machines with SCO Unix installed, and when asked why, I outlined the whole sordid details to the people and gave them printouts of SCO's claims and responses by the 'luminaries' of the Open Source community. This is the way WE put pressure on SCO is by not supporting their products or machines tainted by their products.
When people cannot get support for their equipment because they are tainted by SCO, then more people will move their machines to another operating system/software and SCO loses.
Any code monkeys that stay on with a company that takes the position that SCO has, is a conspirator with that company. A person that stays on with such a company is unpricipled, and I, for one, would not hire such a person.
Somethings got to give, and I think you may be right.
The 'revolution' this time may not come by arms, but by economics. The 'rich' that are there by greed don't seem to realize that it's all those average schmoes that keep them in business. Once the majority of the workforce is displaced by overseas 'outsourceing' and/or robots... the very companies that took those measures will take an economic hit also.
It's all intermingled.
Although, there are a few 'businessmen' that I wouldn't mind seeing lynched, such as Chainsaw Al.
Guess what asshole. I do the same thing that you do. Your a fucking elitist snob. There's nothing in my post that even gives you the fucking right to accuse me of the things you have. So, fuck you, fuck you all the way to hell, and fuck everybody like you. Go back to your self-appreciating circle jerks, and try to get out of your mommy's basement into the real world.
Balls and intelligence? Ha! You have neither, and if someone handed you any you wouldn't know what to do with them.
He's 18 fucking years old. He's an adult, he's not a kid, and he should know better by now. He evidently doesn't know better by now, and is therefore defective and should be locked up.
That's what I was thinking. It's just collateral damage, and it just puts pressure on the other companies that host there to put pressure on their provider to boot the nefarious(sp) SCO company.;)
IF, and IF they are the ones to pay the license, and it is proven that SCO owns nothing then HP can probably sue SCO for fraud and end up putting it out of business for good.
In the first example only the comments match. The code in the left half is scrambled, but in the right half is not scrambled. This leads me to believe that the code itself is different since it makes no sense to leave one readable and one not readable if they intend to hide their 'IP' code if it is indeed the same.
In the second example, it is not comparative. Again, assuming they don't want to show the world their 'IP' then I doubt that code is theirs also.
They are full of shit, just keep shoveling more of it, and those that accept that shit aren't worth dealing with.
It's no wonder that HP pulled out of that shitfest. They'd just inherit the stink if they participated.
It may be ineffective in getting spammers to stop their penis and lolita porn spams, but it does give the state a way of prosecuting spammers. Remember, going after a criminal is just a matter of technicality. After all, they got Al Capone for tax evasion of all things.
I had toy cars as a kid that did this. It'd roll untill it hit something then turn and roll again. I had no idea that I was using state of the art artificial intelligence way back then! Wow!
Sounds more like a priviledge than a right. Just as with a drivers license... having one doesn't mean a thing. It certainly doesn't guarantee that the roads will be clear for my use.
"Conclusion: Why don't YOU get over it and let 700,000 (in the US alone, almost 3 million worldwide) who are LICENSED radio operators have their 2.6 MHz???"
Nobody gives a shit about your LICENSE. Nobody cares. Grasp that concept.
Does it make you special? No, it doesn't. Does it give you any special rights? No, it doesn't.
Nobody else needs to get over anything, it's you who need to get over yourselves.
It's all about market share. They want ALL the 'unix' market, and it's evident that they'll lie, cheat, and steal to get it. And, to think, we all were worried about Microsoft.
Why crack the case at all? A low power, proprietary, RF transfer method would eliminate the need to even plug the camera into anything or crack the case.
I think his point is a technical one. Sure, they may be different vehicles, but they do look the same. Perhaps there were two vehicles for Damnation Alley and he's upset that one of em got chopped up?
It was also used in an obscure late 70's/early 80's series. I'd pop out the name, but can't remember what the heck it is. Like many sci-fi/action series at the time it was full of stock video shots. One of the stock shots was a guy flying off strapped to a 'jet pack'.
Machines don't make mistakes. Programmers do, and the machines will happily grind away at any screwed up code that's put into em - perfectly every time.
"but i'm sure it beats crawling under houses to run DSL cable"
I've crawled under houses to run cat5 cable, and up 40 ft ladders to adjust wireless antenna. Neither I liked doing much at all, but kept thinking "I'm getting paid to do this... I'm getting paid to do this..."
Believe me, it's cushier to work a regular job, you certainly get paid more when you factor in things like hunting for clients, keeping up with clients, taxes, expenses, etc..., because when you freelance you do what it takes to get the job done, and get paid.

Lawyers have two functions...
1) Cover your ass.
2) Kick someones ass.

and that's all it is. Politics is just a way of saying 'nice doggie' untill you can find a big stick.
The jackasses are elitists. They are stil upset that the 'unwashed masses' are using their precious internet.

That might be the aim.

All spammers can be tracked down. Just because it was sent through an open relay doesnt' mean that he can't be found.

Which they've lost to Linux...
"For its part, SCO claims it has lost to free Linux distributions substantial revenue it might have gained from Unix sales."
Now they want em back... at the point of a gun made out of soap.

Hey guy, it's all about the bottom dollar, nobody seems to give a shit about quality.
