...involved one Compaq (yeah, yeah, I know... wasn't *my* choice) server, and SCO kept rebooting in the middle of the night for no apparent reason, also, in a so-called "server" edition, you had to buy the TCP/IP stack.... separately??!!?!?! How the hell am I supposed to run a "server" with no networking, huh?
These words from the guy at SCO are the last gasp of the dying. I don't know *anyone* who likes SCO. Not nobody nowhere.
Bill G. is just covering his own ass. He Plainly Just Don' Get It.
Let's just hope he continues to have this attitude in public as well as privately, so the full guns of the Microsoft Juggernaut are not brought to bear on our asses.
Actually, no. The reason KFC stopped using "Kentucky Fried Chicken" has nothing to do with "Fried". You think that just 'cos they stop using the word "Fried" people will go, oh hey geez, look Martha, they're not "Fried" anymore?
Wrongo-bedongo. The reason KFC went to the abbreviation is something else. It seems the State of Kentucky, deep in their asses in debt, decided to charge any corporations who used the word "Kentucky" in their names (like KFC, like the Kentucky Derby) a licensing fee. Rather than comply, KFC dropped the "Kentucky" moniker, as did the Kentucky Derby.
Reference somewhere on http://www.snopes.com . Site's down now so I can't check it, but check it out when you got the time.
Sheez, does anyone know when the Linux version of CTP will be released? And will it be released to stores or just mail order or what? I've been fairly drooling over the screenshots, and Civ 1 and 2 have sucked many an hour away from me..... now if I could only get my copy of Civ 2 to work under WINE I'd be in fat city.
But it's entirely in software, and at the moment only handles 16-bit.WAV files. However, it's extremely, gut-wrenchingly cool, runs on Linux, and is GPL'd. You load a.wav file (and, optionally, another.wav to act as a loop) and scratcha-scratcha-scratcha with your mouse. Check it out here. . I've got (so far) the only user scratch on the "send Your Scratches In" page.
"Left of Leningrad claptrap?" What a moron. Doesn't anyone think that Free Software As Socialism is not necessarily a totally inherently evil thing that will lead directly to pogrom after pogrom ala Stalin?
dunno. I mean, I was a geek before college, but college brought a few veerreee important factors to bear on my geekhood -- access to technlogy (hadn't even *heard* of 'NIX before college) two, relevant employment (first admin job in college) and three, education/well-roundedness. Without college, I'd probably be a dumpy aspiring nerd working at McDonalds. Thank you college!

An educational message from your pal,

That is by far the stupidest, shoehorned corporate name I've ever heard.
It's like people making up names just to fit cutesy acronyms.
SGI. Silicon Graphics Incorporated. Now that's a name, dammit.
Way to go, guys.

Good article. The Economist is often (surprisingly?) on the ball about things.
