The broken canal walls were built in the last 10-15 years--not in the 30s. They failed because they are concrete walls built on top of a shorter dirt levee. The storm surge topped the concrete walls and ate out the dirt below causing the walls to collapse. Had there been more funding to create category 5 height walls perhaps they would have never failed.
Bayou St. John (along bottom in satellite picture) is capped off from the lake by a huge lock and is thus never a threat from flooding. The areas surrounding Bayou St. John flooded because of other levee breaches in the area.
Compartmentalizing the city with internal flood walls would be a better idea that might prevent one or two breaches from inundating the city. There was also a plan proposed to build a giant sea wall along I-10 near Slidell that would prevent storm surges from entering the lake. This might have prevented the storm surge from topping the levees along the canals.
Secunia collectively rated the vulnerabilities as "Moderately Critical," and said that only Firefox has been fixed. Users should download the newest edition, Firefox 1.0.1, which was released last week.
The vulnerabilities have been corrected in Mozilla, but the patched edition, 1.7.6, has not yet been officially released. The same goes for Thunderbird, the Mozilla Foundation's free e-mail client, which is also susceptible to the bugs. Both Mozilla 1.7.6 and Thunderbird 1.0.1 should roll out this week, Mozilla has said.

The most interesting part is that if you have older siblings, you may have part of them in you!
"Up to 90% of women are thought to carry their children's cells or DNA in their blood during pregnancy - and up to 50% for decades afterwards, a condition called microchimerism. If a woman then has more children, the older sibling's cells could be passed back into the younger child during that pregnancy."

According to SCO's 2nd Quarter 10-Q released on June 13, 2003 they have accumulated a deficit of $202,517,000.
Here are some interesting tidbits from the quarterly:
(1)The Company's revenue has historically been from two sources: (i) product license revenue, primarily from product sales to resellers and end users, and royalty revenue from product sales by source code OEMs; and (ii) service and support revenue, primarily from providing software updates, support and education and consulting services to end users. During the quarter ended April30, 2003, the Company recognized its first licensing revenue from its intellectual property initiative, SCOsource.
(2)Pursuit of the litigation against IBM and, potentially, others will be costly, and management expects the costs for legal fees could be substantial. In addition, the Company may experience a decrease in revenue as a result of the loss of sales of Linux products and initiatives previously undertaken jointly with IBM and others affiliated with IBM. The Company anticipates that participants in the Linux industry will seek to influence participants in the markets in which we sell our products to reduce or eliminate the amount of our products and services that they purchase. There is also a risk that the assertion of the Company's intellectual property rights will be negatively viewed by participants in our marketplace and we may lose support from such participants. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect the Company's position in the marketplace and our results of operations. The ultimate outcome or potential effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position is not currently known or determinable.
[..then you get to the 'Oh and by the way we dont make any money' section]
(3)Risk Factors
We do not have a history of profitable operations.
The April30, 2003, quarter was our first quarter of profitability. If we do not receive SCOsource licensing revenue in future quarters and our revenue from the sale of our operating system platform products and services continues to decline, we will need to further reduce operating expenses in order to maintain profitability or generate positive cash flow. If we are unable to generate positive cash flow from operations, we will not be able to implement our business plan without additional funding, which may not be available to us.
