MS removes features in beta, release it and gauge reaction. If highly negative, say "That was only a beta" and add the support back. If no reaction, then go ahead with plan.
The shares went from $22 to todays $17.69 from the time they got the $50M death-spiral-money. How is this support?
You can't read too much into these large up'n'downs with this petty stock. It's "light as a feather"; Low volume and large movement on that. Once the panic sets in, this will tank in minutes.
No it isn't; you obviously don't know the enderle-troll. The whole point of his existance is to get people to respond, which is why he should be treated only silence.
With the OP on the top I'd hoped that this could die as a 15-reply story, but I guess it wasn't meant to be.
Both the submitter and CmdrTaco need a good LART'ing for posting this.
The official Win32 one does (as of 3.3) as long as you say "no" at the prompt asking you if you have donated yet. So you just called someone a troll when in fact he/she wasn't. Are you going to apologize?
However, the OT is wrong on many other counts. If the GUI client is installed correctly, then he/she should simply have to "open" the torrent url/file and the client should take over from there. Also, since there's many different clients, it is a tad bit smarter to address a specific client like "Official BitTorrent 3.3 sucks on Win32". If someone says "BitTorrent sucks" I take it to mean the protocol, not a particular implementation.
3. English is not my native tongue. I'm prone to making these kinds of "homophone" errors when I'm agitated and write by "feeling". I'm sure you know a second or third language in which you're not perfect?
4. I do know the difference. Personally I have a simple rule; I will only correct people who are consistent in their error. I do not think I qualify in the post you critiqued. You might want to consider this policy, it's quite nice since it doesn't make you look like an ass all the time.
This company is going to SCO itself. Step 1. Make news. Step 2. Threaten to sue. Step 3. Make more news and attract idiots to buy stock. 4. Profit via selling onto the idiot buyers.
Secondly -- and I'm not a very eloquent man so let me put this carefully; Fuck you SunnComm. Fuck you and your little idiot minds. You worthless scumm of the earth, you pusdripping sewage waste you. You're a company of IQ 70 personel, a two bit player that is never going to amount to anything. When you're company fails I will celebrate.
You're stupid PR spin is transparent to everyone in the world with an IQ higher than you, which is a majority by large.
All the best, and have a nice time failing as a business.
Word is that the Salt Lake Tribune(?) published one of those "SCO -- which is a 'best performing stock' with +800% -- is run by nice Mormons, IBM is the evil Goliath"-articles today.
While SGI feels likely, it's also a little odd -- would SCO really want to combat the combined might of IBM and SGI? Ah, fsck it. Nothing makes sense with SCO anyhow.
"SCO believes that the GPL -- created by the Free Software Foundation to supplant current U.S. copyright laws -- is a shaky foundation on which to build a legal case. By contrast, SCO continues to base its legal claims on well-settled United States contract laws and United States copyright laws."
The new complaint allegedly asks for declaratory judgment, which I presume would cover the whole she-bang, in which case the GPL would not get to go to court, no?.
Stowell disputed the idea that SCO could no longer distribute Linux. "We're the copyright holder for the core Unix operating system. If we want to charge someone a licensing fee for using our copyrighted software that's gone into Linux, then we have that prerogative," he said. "If we want to continue to distribute Linux to our existing customers, we can do that because we own the copyrights on that Unix software."
It's also been discovered that our favourite clueless "analyst", Didio, has known McBride and Stowell for some fifteen years. Yeah, not like that could affect her "analysis" or anything.
Let me follow up on that and explain why I think this is bad. Short term this sounds good, defusing SCO and all that. But long-term, if this indemnification-meme takes hold, it'll create a barrier of entry for smaller companies/distributions that they might not be able to overcome.
Picture the suits buying only from linux companies that "indemnify". It doesn't matter that such assurances are empty and hollow, they'll have a cost associated with the business-wise when banks and insurance companies start doing risk-calculations and adding on "indemnification" as a future possible cost in order to provide their services.
So the small guys can't afford to "indemnify" against the strawman, and the big guys get to rule the market. HP are still big, so we can see why they don't mind playing along with SCO's new in-word.
One day you might not sheer this development.
... vut of course, no-one is listening to little me. That's okay, I'm used to it.
You should read the memo, it's Intel that rule the Heat-Top.
DF reports confirmed our magical number of 103 W consumption and we reckon that the primary focus of the Intel team is to make it less hot or otherwise to buy some company that would produce water cooling for it. -- TheInq
And this isn't even news, they rule the top with their top-of-the-line P4s too.
So the joke is on Intel. For now.
Doesn't look like it.

Athlon 64 Debuts
·
· Score: 2, Informative
There's a limitied supply, but they're available. Here's one: Athlon64 3200+ bundled with a MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R, in stock and available, for "only" 6600SEK (~$835/w tax)
I'm salivating, but the limited supply is going to keep the price way, way up for a time.

Whether they remove the support or not, you can say you were correct.
Well, Duh. :-)

Agreed. This is the Enderle-troll, right? He's pathetic, don't stroke his cock by answering -- even in critique. He loves that.

I knew someone would bite.
1. I never claimed to possess a high IQ. Only faulty reasoning could lead to that conclusion.
2. Poor spelling isn't indicative of low IQ. (faulty reasoning might be...)
3. English is not my native tongue. I'm prone to making these kinds of "homophone" errors when I'm agitated and write by "feeling". I'm sure you know a second or third language in which you're not perfect?

It was on supr-youknowwhat earlier today. Now it's gone.

SCO's stalling.

So, any guess on parties?
Their latest PR-scud has been fired.
(it's sort of on-topic, don't you think?)
The new complaint allegedly asks for declaratory judgment, which I presume would cover the whole she-bang, in which case the GPL would not get to go to court, no?.
Personally, I hope he invoked USC-17 on himself via that comment. That'd be sweeeeet.
This just in.
I'll just let that... sink in.

We'll, if Steven owns ten guns and threaten a government official, that's equivalent to two terrorists (5 guns / threat == 1 terrorist).
Please call the MPAA if you want to learn more about this new branch of mathematics.
The most positivt thought I can have is that "maybe things must go to worse before they can get better".
<sigh>
That this is stupid. Indemnification is a strawman. This is like arguing with it.
I tried to port the ScienceMark test over, but all I got was:
