If it's Office 97 it IS worthwile. That was the last Office that didn't suck, and it loads fscking fast on today's machines. But nooooooooo, now everybody HAS to "upgrade" to Office 2003 and pay up the wazoo. Gaaa. Thank God for OpenOffice.org.
This is so wrong it isn't even funny. What's the rationale for this? Why don't they do the obvious -- pay them for each patent request PROCESSED, whether it's accepted or rejected? That way they could do their job in a neutral fashion.
More: Brazilian authorities quickly altered the procedure from "get all 10 fingers" to "get thumb only" because in the USA they're taking thumb only. Now THAT is tit-for-tatness!
Punishments too light. Expect life jail sentences, extension of liability to family, friends, and unlimited fines, all to be determined by the copyright holders.
You owe the media companies the Skewes Number of dollars. No, 10^that. No, 10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^that. No, wait...
Ah, what the hell. They own all possible Universes. Get SETI going, we have fines to collect.
After reading the article I wondered if they had any software job openings posted on their website, take a look at the one Software Engineer job they have open.
Heh. I wish I could plant myself as a mole, but I'd probably not get by the ideology barrier. Hint for people who never released GPL software... and never posted opinions about Free Software except under pseudonym.
Hey, a kindred spirit! I did just such a thing circa 1997-1999. It was an app designed for a computrer store franchise network. The central database would have records pertaining all stores, whilst each store would have an identically-modeled database with only their own records. (there were "universal" things like price lists, tax data, company logos etc.) The sync procedures were very fun to work with. Remember everybody used modems those days, so online web apps weren't really an option.
Tables were exported in text format. We would scan the tables collection and order it so "leaf" tables in the relationship graph would be created/updated first.
Then several days later the bank calls and says the cheque was a fake and you owe them back the money.
Banks in the US redeem cheques this liberally? In Brazil, you can only cash a cheque in the particular building the account was made, and signature, serial number, etc. are checked. Or you deposit it in your account, extra balance is considered "pending" until the issuer's bank clears it. From that point on, the money is YOURS, and if the bank fell for it, too bad for them.

Not only will the quality of JVMs and native compilers improve, but there will be a burst of news about Java, making people talk about it again. Good!
Did Fritz Hollings move to New Mexico while I wasn't looking?
I hope Clint Eastwood doesn't sue them.
What will happen to this? (Already discussed in Slashdot here)
Wait a minute... gutenberg.net.au seems to be offline. Were they ALREADY sunk?

Use fake names!
Not to mention MAD Magazine. Hell, they "profit from the marketability" of parodies since the dawn of time.
Now you're forbidden from telling jokes for money?
Or, some random loser who thinks Bill Gates is God and wants to make Linux look bad (the most probable hypothesis).
Go Google the Latin phrase "CUI BONO" and learn what it means.
Another thing: the DDoS starts only Feb 1 -- SCO has plenty of time to prepare for it. Interesting too.

...actually it's STFU, but nice try.
Hmm... Services Toolbox For Unix?

If you're going to disable all access to SSH, why not just stop sshd?
Limit on title length prevented me from adding -s (somewhere). Crap. Couldn't even use the much more fun TARPIT target.
PHTHBBBBBTTTTT!!!!!
Preferably, spoofing the From: address to someone s/he trusts. Guerrilla information warfare baby!

I vote that I get to know if a proven danger to my children is living next door.
Let's suppose one is. Then you do... what?
We heard this kind of story before, and it wasn't fun the first time.

Drug-based enemy demonizing is so 20th century. Doesn't he know terrorist is the smear du jour?

No, he is the s[cp]ammer. It's Congress who fell for it.
...how Guy Fawke's drawing in the linked article looks like Osama Bin Laden?
I use the parental control feature on my Sony Wega to stop my parents turning Fox News on when they visit.
That does it. You're in my friends list now. I hope you're happy.
Geez, nobody mentioned squidGuard yet?
