Actually I followed that particular debacle closely on their user forums, the CEO specifically paid SCO for their "Linux license", but when he got flak from his users he said he regretted it and wished he could undo the deed. Then I got bored in the whole masquerade and quit following it.
Amen to that. I still have to find one, one onboard audio system that does more than a half-assed job at rendering midis. Not to mention supporting soundfonts etc.
Newegg and most companies that advertise through pricewatch etc. don't accept international orders - and those that do charge an arm and a leg for shipping.
Hear, hear. Exactly my feelings. Everyone around was so thrilled about the book, so I picked it up. But I had to quit about 40 pages in - I couldn't take it anymore. Maybe I'm just weird, but I didn't find it funny in the least bit.
I have just submitted a patent for "Method of sending information in the form of ion fluxes generating electrical impulses across a semi-permeable barrier, over the phrenic nerve". As soon as it gets approved, anyone who wants to breathe will have to purchase a license from me. Prior art you say? There's no proof, and even if there is - the USPTO won't care. Muhahahaha!
I went to a store and with an open mind I played with the latest PalmOS and PocketPC devices. None of the PocketPCs can run any of the programs that I need in my work. Tough luck.
So what are you going to do when, in a day or a week or a month or a year, the steam database has a glitch and marks your account as using a stolen key? Or when steam is cracked (because it WILL be sooner or later - the temptation is just too great) and Valve will start locking down legitimate accounts? What recourse will you have then?
If VoIP is going to take off the way the article predicts, I bet the decoding will be done mostly by DSPs in dedicated devices, instead of clients running on a PC. Which is not at all reassuring. The processors used in embedded devices tend to lack memory protection, for reasons of cost. But that makes it easier to find and exploit buffer overflows.
I remember 5 or 6 years ago the new 64-bit chips from Intel were "hot" with everyone talking about them, and also supposedly right around the corner in terms of schedule. AMD surely stole their thunder on this.
The oldest in-game advertising I can think of was in "Xeno" for Sinclair Spectrum, circa 1986. The in-game billboards would scroll ads for upcoming games of the same software house.

My dedicated file server at home is a K6-2/450 running Slackware.

You'd have to sue them first.
Yeah I know most people will chime in to say there never was a Slackware 5, but I happen to have a burned copy of it. :)
[Slack 5 was the name it held in the beta or "current", which was later released as 7.0]

Can't you sue them for the expenses you incurred because of them?
Except that after they've banned your account, it won't work in offline mode.

You don't even have to go THAT far. I see bootleg CDs and DVDs for sale in the streets of NYC every day. Mostly around tourist spots.
Huge stones, maybe. I don't know. But he seems to lack something in the upper department. Can't put my finger on it.
Wait, didn't you mean litigious bastards?

You, sir, are wrong. My own calculations, based it's true on the 1979 penny, put that weight at 30,900kg. A mere 23.6% more than your estimate.
There is no T4 because the number 4 is considered bad luck in the Far East.
