Unfortunately I don't have the funds to front a lawsuit. Though, without breaking out the law, a bunch of Linux Users could start moving into his neighborhood and start a local LUG in the community where he is at. That will most likely just annoy him like crazy.
Anyone in the Utah area should try to give Mr. McBridge a visit. His address is here. According to MapQuest, the address appears to be in some really dense suburban area. Not what I had imagined some fancy lawyer. Though, according to Yahoo! Financials, a Mr. Darl C. McBride is also the president of SCO. I wonder what is his middle name? Any Linux Users that live on Vintage Oak Lane, or close to his house?
Maybe I should submit my resume and work there because I already manually save all my IM conversations by hand and have been doing this since 1997. Man, I'm such a t00l.
Any of you confused? I think I will just stick to my policy of not having any USB devices at all and simply ignore it. If it's not PS/2, serial, or parallel, it wasn't meant to be connected. Oh, except for my trusty Gravis gamepad attached to my still working, yet ancient SB16. LOL!
After reading this interview, all I can say is quoting from the lyrics of Berlin (80's Band) "you take my breath away." Wow, what a read.:-) One of the best interviews I have read.
Not having read Tom's Hardware review of WinFS, but from the sound of things of the post, if WinFS is supposedly using a relational database to keep track of files, this sort of already sounds like what MS is implementing in some of their exisiting software such as Exchange and Sharepoint. Sharepoint utilizes Exchange-like file system where you can store files into the Sharepoint repository. In the first delivery of Sharepoint, there was an upper bound on the size of an individual file to be stored (I believe it was an 4GB limit) but in the current release I believe there is no upper limit. From what someone had told me if i recall right, Sharepoint utilizes the SQL engine to keep track of the files that are stored in Sharepoint. Maybe MS is just taking what they have learned from Sharepoint and making it more 'general purpose' for day to day use.
Thanks. I just checked out that PDF, and man, that is really too bad you can't even get it damp. I also realized how short of a battery life this is. For only having 4 days of battery life, I sure hope Fossil figures out how to integrate a perpetual motion watch with a PDA and then maybe we won't have to worry about ever having to charge it every 4 days. Hahaha:-)
Is this watch waterproof? The screen is touch-screen, but where do you put the stylus? Does it have a stylus? I hate to loose the stylus underwater.
There is nothing like checking my list of contacts and to-do list (never know when you need reminding of stopping by at the local hardware store after a day of underwater welding) and picking up a few daily necessities, like some Doritos...mmmmm.
Is it just me, or is/. news turning into SCO. news? Not that it is a bad thing to learn about how crazy or hopped up SCO is on whatever they are smoking, but it sure would be nice for the rest of the/. community to get a whiff of what they are using.
Wow. That's pretty cool. If a trucker can get internet access, maybe those who are unemployed should look into those trucking schools. Some of the truckers I have heard make $40/hour. Not too shabby.

Ageism in IT?
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
Yeah. My thoughts exactly. The younger coders tend not to think about design or the overall problem. They just get the stuff working, and not worrying about issues that may come down the pipe later on. From what I have seen in college in the past, most people don't spend time on design. I myself was guilty of that: code first, design later. Not any more though when you realize that you spend significantly less time in debugging if you have a good design lay out in front of you. Coding/syntax is all just secondary. At least that is my personal philosophy toward programming...
I suppose maybe in this case, too much competition will hurt the consumer. If the end-user will have to install two different sets of "un-zip" utilities just to keep straight, that would really be a hassle. Perhaps other formats such as.rar or.ace will slide into the marketshare that the.zip format has enjoyed for so long. Who knows, maybe ARJ will come back! Then again, there is always the free GZip and TAR and that works pretty good.
Visual Studio Arch. Edition has a built-in ability in which it can script through a website, i.e. login, submit forms, click buttons, and other various web navigation. All of this, can be scripted, and benchmarked to see how fast a website is to respond. Similar commercial products such as Segue has programs that does the same thing, though now VS.Net Arch. Edition has it, too and actually it works quite well to when used properly, and not for spam...:-/

C&W Bails Out

· Score: 1
For those of you who are at C&W, or have already left and looking for places to work, I'd suggest looking at the IT market in Hawaii. There is plenty of contract work with the military there and you can't be the great weather that they have.:-) If you have clearance, that's even better and they are ALWAYS looking for people with awesome skills. If you work in a data center, I'm sure NMCI (Navy Marine Corps Intranet) will be looking for good people... just a thought though. Hope this helps!
Could someone perhaps clearify the definition of the word public domain? I thought that is what happens when you throw something away, like in the garbage that it becomes public domain?
If McCalls can sue someone for picking in the garbage, who is to prevent companies from suing bums that pick stuff off the streets?
Is it just me, or is this just getting way too much out of hand?
Maybe in an alternate universe, SCO and RIAA are actually of the same entity with the same people that sit on the board of directors of both institutions.
You know I was just going to post the same thing! The fact that the word "Microsoft", "propose", "linux", and not anywhere any negative comments were used is quite surprising. Maybe Microsoft is secretly using Linux Beowulf in their lab.
Considering that a large percentage of the users of BitTorrent are people who fansub/download/watch anime, do you, as the author of the software, partake in fansub/download/watch anime?

Actually, bittorrent performs a check sum for you during download so you don't have to MD5SUM all 1000 or so RPMS.

According to Yahoo! Financials, SCO's claims to copyrights are totally unfounded. Quick blip, but interesting read.
