I guess I don't see what the big deal is. The ICANN article stated that the old root DNS server would run for 6 more months, and that appears to be all that has happened. What am I missing?
"It is expected that the old address will continue to work for at least six months after the transition, but will ultimately be retired from service."
There's still a mechanical lock preventing the ignition from being engaged, and they would also have a steering wheel lock to work around. This is effectively bypassing the imobilizer that comes equipt on most modern cars. If someone wants your car bad enough now-a-days, they just take your keys from you.
furthermore, even if there is a no-complete clause, what does this have to do with Google? Google didn't sign a no-compete with Microsoft. Maybe they are firing their guns in the wrong direction.
the appeals court likened WhenU's ads to retail stores that place generic competitors next to brand-name products.
What a sour analogy. I see it more like a retial store placing their generic items IN SOMEONE ELSES STORE. I work for a business that sells products online, and we have had customers complain to us becuase our website has hyperlinks to our competing websites (placed there by malware). I don't think they understood the mechanism at work here! It's more likened to WalMart placing their generic products on K-marts shelves!
Good little system, I wonder how pricing compares to Asterisk?
We have 5 Cisco 7940's, 2 Cisco 7960's, a TMD400 with 4 fxo cards, a T100P (t1 card) running on a compaq proliant 3000. Our total cost was less than $3000 including the phones.
We have done a similar thing with our Asterisk phone server, in that we allow our customers to check the status of their order through our phone system. It turned out to be incredibly easy, using a php console script through asterisk AGI and festival to read back the customers tracking number. We also have our fax machine configured to fax a document to an e-mail address, if it's sent to that persons extension number. We have all incoming external fax's now going directly to e-mail to save on paper, which makes junk fax far less offensive and costly. It really blew my bosses mind when I added an extention via an IAXy device going to my own home. It will now be used when the boss is on business trips, so that he has access to his phone extension in almost any hotel room. (all it needs in a dhcp enabled network) I can't think of a better phone system for an office environment than Asterisk.
This isn't all that helpful. What I want is some way to spend more of my time awake, instead of wasting 8 hours a day sleeping. Why don't these companies work on that problem instead?
Ludlow believes its copyright -- initially filed in 1956 and renewed in 1984 -- remains valid and disputes EFF's claims.
This never made it to court, so it's likely that a Judge would have to make that kind of determination. Ludlow may have backed down for just this very concern for all we know.
"Yes, I think that all xGPL software is seriously threatened by patents."
and the other hand says:
"* Changes such as this hack to Wine are internally referred to as 'Proprietary advantages'. We are seeking patents on such methods of gaining a market advantage"
So, which is it? Software patents are EVIL EVIL EVIL or Software patents are great for market advantage.
Since the advent of computers & other high tech components in automobiles, people have long been predicting the same thing. Honestly, how many 1970 automobiles do pass on your way to work?
Consumers buy new cars every few years regardless of the maintenance costs on their trade in cars, and people will never stop crashing their cars & filling salvage yards with plenty of recyclable parts. In a sense, cars have been "disposable" for many years. Leased vehicles are "disposed" from one class of consumers, down to another class and so on.
This reminds me of a book I read about garbology (can't remember the title), where scientist were baffled about the low quantity of washers & dryers found in dumps. They discovered that broken appliances were exported to central and south America to be rebuilt, and that many of the appliances used there were decades old!
most experts think that the V4 routers simply couldn't keep up if the Internet's backbone were suddenly switched over to IPv6--the router hardwarewould have to be upgraded, which would be very expensive. Most corporations would face similar upgrades. At a medium-sized business with perhaps 16 high-speed routers, the cost would easily exceed $1 million.
Damn, with only 3 routers at the medium-sized business I work for, this is going to cost us $187,500 !!! No IPV6 for us
"Then along comes the OSS community. Builds a competitive box at 3x the price, software that's more difficult to use, and a feature-set that still can't compete. (yay for OSS)."
What do you mean - THEN comes along the OSS community? Your tivo was built on OSS software!
" Correct me if I'm wrong, but 7000 shares at $3.06 per share is just $21420. Maybe he just cashed in to buy a new Lexus?"
No, your absolutly right. The point is, his stock went from being worth a couple hundred thousand to a couple million after this entire lawsuit fiaso. I'm sure there are many other examples in the SCO office that haven't yet made it to the papers, if they ever do.
SCO exec sells stock after price surge By Stephen Shankland CNET News.com March 13, 2003, 5:05 AM PT URL: http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104-992394.html
SCO Group Chief Financial Officer Robert Bench sold 7,000 of his 245,000 SCO shares Monday, two business days after the Unix software company's stock price surged on news of a billion-dollar lawsuit against IBM, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
SCO's stock closed at $2.21 on Thursday, a few hours before the lawsuit alleging that IBM misappropriated SCO trade secrets was announced. On Friday, the stock surged 40 percent to close at $3.10, and Bench filed to sell shares Monday at $3.06. SCO's stock since then has slipped down to close at $2.40 on Tuesday. SCO formerly was named Caldera International but changed its name to reflect the fact that most of its revenue came from Unix products acquired in 2001
SCO is going down, and they know it. This entire fiasco is a sad attempt to grasp some kind of life from a dying company and they have no problem taking the SCO name down with them. I think it should be important to find the names of the people within SCO responsible for this, and let this tarnish their names long after SCO is gone.
I'm using Netscape7 in Linux, and I do not block popups, however their site blocked my access!? If I really even cared, I guess I would be pissed. This is a clear example of "Just because you can do somthing (block users who block you) doesn't mean you should" This will fail miseriably

won't matter, that kind of information never reaches the MSM
as long as you have the actors consent, as there is with the Tron example.
nope, they just conveniently "loose" their e-mails when things turn against them. http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/04/13/white.house.email/index.html
I was with you up until the whole "Alice granted him an implicit license to read the work", oh please. Did he have to agree to a EULA too?

So, which is it?
Software patents are EVIL EVIL EVIL
or
Software patents are great for market advantage.
Can you really have it both ways?
So, using this logic all Cisco has to do is stay quiet, and this
says they were never hacked?
ya, That's bullshit alright.
