Linux has been able to run executables from BSDs, SCO Unix and a few other x386 Unixes since quite early on. You also need all the dependencies from the target system, and constructing such a system would require a license for the Unix variant in question, but the binary compatibility is there in Linux. The question is whether it contains any SCO copyrighted code. The answer is a definitive no - what code is common appears to have come from BSD, or is trivial headers that could easily be common by chance, and more importantly, a court has already delivered the judgement that Novell, not SCO, owns the Unix copyrights.
There are no employees left. The legal cases were sold off to one of the execs who wanted to keep going and a bunch of lawyers as part of the bankruptcy. The rest of the company shut down.
They can sell what they like. The junkie down the road isn't going to start buying ivory just because you made smack legal. If there isn't a market for what they are selling, there isn't going to be any profit in it.
They kept all the documents related to how IBM had put the same header files to some POSIX APIs in Linux as what SCO saw in Unix, right down to the function prototypes being in the same alphabetical order, but sneakily they had changed all the comments to hide their copying.
The documents they destroyed were the ones related to the fact that Novel, not SCO owned the copyrights in question. There was no point to keeping those documents, as SCO have already lost that case and exhausted all avenues of appeal.
Actually starting the car is far less likely in newer cars, because whilst the number of key combinations are small, the number of key transponders is not.
Yes, but we're talking about a Ford Escort here. Even if you have the right key, its a toss up whether it will start.
Wait, so he actually installed software to do this? Getting the WiFi password for a network that is already set up on your computer is easy, and doesn't require any apps. It's not the same as cracking WPA2 though.
An issue tracker with email interface can save a lot of time. Not having to log in to receive notification of new issues and being able to quickly comment and close issues by simply replying to an email does save a lot of time. But how do you search existing/previous issues, or check what is outstanding with an email only tracking system? I guess you could send commands and it emails you back, but this isn't exactly efficient compared to a web interface.
If the process is undefined to start with, it is better to bring in the tool first and build a process around this. In my experience, when introduction of new tools fails, it is usually because people get fed up fighting a tool that almost but not quite fits their process. The key to success is to make sure the benefits of using the tool are clear to the users and there are no additional headaches associated with its use.
He did say nearly. With SVN or CVS, you have to copy the files from the server. With a DVCS you can copy files from any client that has cloned the repository. The process is not much different, a single directory copy will suffice for all cases.
Original copyright law was not "up to 70 years after the creators death". That part of copyright law was added later, not for artists' families, but for the corporations who contract artists' copyrights away from them.
I think what he is actually saying is that we should have some more evidence that this is actually possible outside of the minds of some attention whoring "security researchers" before engaging our knee jerk reaction. Right now all we have boils down to "omg, diagnostic bus works as designed!!!!!!11!!1" and "wireless access of any description = oh noes, 3v1L h@xx0rzz".
The dress is overexposed which moves the black to grey, and the blue has been desaturated, which leaves mostly yellowish hues like brown and gold behind.
Are there really 3 struggling to become the global leader though? From what I can see, there's Qi, which is widely supported by devices, and there's a couple of competing standards which don't want to die, occasionally announcing agreements with restaurant/cafe chains to put their unused charging devices into stores.
I've noticed this too. Many of the photos being spammed on my Facebook feed are cropped showing only the top 25% of the photo. In those photos, the light blue/gold shows up (with the light blue looking like bad white-balancing, so could easily be seen as white). But whenever the full picture is visible, the blue/black is more apparent, and when the bottom half of the dress is all that is visible, it definitely looks blue/black. Some of the people that have responded here saying they never see white/gold also stated that they have large monitors, so maybe they have never seen the image cropped, as it first appears on my relatively small laptop display on the buzzfeed site and others where I have to scroll down to see the full image.
You actually need the overexposed background there to fool your brain into thinking the dress is underexposed to see the blue as white, and the black as gold.

They don't have a case. But since they destroyed all their documents that show that, they are not aware of this themselves.

I think that was the GP's point. Why would Nintendo feel any obligation to save Apple?
It's aimed more at Indians than Chinese, but there is a useful YouTube channel to help with conversing in Australian English.
To use a USB DVB-T dongle, you need a USB port. Preferably not the one that your power cord is plugged into.

Nice conspiracy theory. Next time try to get the names of the countries involved right and your ranting might start to sound believable.
Why? Was it less important than the Air France plane that was found after almost 2 years of searching?

Why should Google's developers be exempt from this, and allowed to cordon off .dev for themselves?
The black looks gold because the camera's auto white balance removed the blue. Simple as that.

Which makes me curious - which pair of colours are the two dresses in the xkcd comic to you?
