Larua Didio concluds that SCO code was copied into Linux. Here is the article: URL: http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.j html?articleID=10300314
I'm taking an online project management class from Hampton Group. I would learn ten times as much, ten times as fast, and for one tenth the price; if I just got a book and read it.
The only thing "on line" about it is that I mail the assignments. I never understand what the instructor wants, I have to guess until the assignment is "good enough."
That these schools make so much, for so little is amazing to me.
Don't forget, when MS speaks of security, they often mean their own security. For example, users not being able to transfer the OS from one PC to another.
When I look at ads for IT jobs, and I have viewed thousands, I very rarely see a job that requires a BSCS. Usually, if there is any mention, the ad will include "or equivilent."
So why get a BSCS when a BSEE is far more valuable and versitile. With a BSEE you can honestly call yourself an engineer.
If you want to work in IT, a BSEE is just as good, if not better than a BSCS.
I can not over emphasize how vitally important it was to get something out the door - right away. They said their stuff was shipping weeks before development was complete.
The idea of thoroughly testing the software would have been a joke.
Still, if the OS (MS-DOS at the time) was more stable, at the computers would not have crashed.
>>it's one of the VERY FEW that are making a profit
Most of that profit is due to creative "pro-forma" accounting. That, and not expensing options.
Still, eBay, is doing better than most. Certainly better than AMZN, USDI, and YHOO. Especially if you use real GAAP accounting, and expense options.
Even the best of internet stocks are barely profitable, at best. For some reason the market becomes insanely optimistic about these dot-com companies. These companies bring in about 1/5th what other similarly priced stocks bring in; but the market measures them by a different standard.
I live in the middle of Denver CO, no more than a few miles from AT&T Broadband headquaters (now Comcast). I have been waiting over three years, and I still can't get broadband.
In some fields, like medicine, job titles often give a decent discription of what you do. Job titles in I.T. are meaningless. Exactly what skills does a "systems analyst" have?
Slashdot Mirror
Before this lawsuit, SCOX was selling for $2 a share, today SCOX almost hit $12 a share. Nearly 600% increase. Not bad.
This for a company that has never turned a profit in it's existance, and has a book value of $0.67.
Top execs at scox are selling their shares like mad. Can you blame them?
Say what you want, but those execs at SCOX really know how to use the legal system to their advantage!
But who is david, and who is goliath?
Is this a fight between ibm and scox.
Or, is this fight between msft and linux?
To me it seems more like Kim Jung il:
While (extorsion attempt fails) {
become increasingly desperate and wreckless.
}
in which, they will announce that they consider IBM's UNIX license to be revoked.
IBM will continue doing business as usual.
And that will be the end of it.
Like McDonald's?
This book has been out for nearly a year. Is this news?

"But instead SCO took a confrontational approach knowing that IBM would counterattack. Wonder why."
Are you kidding? SCOX stock price is up about 4X over since this lawsuit business.

These bozos can't figure out what to do. How do these people get rich, when they are so dumb?

Go to the job sites, and type in "COBOL" or MVS or whatever. There are practically no jobs.
I don't see any shortage of people to do the jobs.

It's one of my pet peeves. Those car stereos that are so loud you can hear them from four blocks away, even in your home.
Now, I guess, I have to pay the "artists" a royalty every time I hear that (c)rap.
It seems to me that publishing lyrics is like quoting somebody. People here on slashdot, quote others all the time.

They are doing a misserable job, in my opinion.
SCO: IBM stold our code!
IBM: Did not!
SCO: Did so!
. . . . and so on.
That you tell us something.

By the time this paladium comes out, 3ghz PCs will be the norm. How much do you need for a word processor?
Ignor the paladium chips, and just use the old 3ghz chips. Run old XP or switch to Linux, or Mac.
I absolutely could agree more. With laserjet prices under $200, I wouldn't even think of buying an inkjet.
I was lucky enough to buy a HPLJ II at a thrift store for $10. It just works and works.
