SCO as an organization didn't do this. One lazy person or group which was supposed to write documentation decided not to write their own.
Let me disagree. SCO, as an organisation, and as the publisher of the documentation, did this.
They failled to implement the IP safeguards they pretend are missing in Linux developement. Even if the fault can be tracked back to an employee, the organisation didn't implement what it preach (for OSS).
If you look carefully: 1) the flag is along the pist, not on Phoenix 2) don't recognize it. certainly not US (no blue at the top). Probably just to see the wind.
I give them credit for the attempt to make a "2d barcode"
Not me.
google for 2d barcodes and you find many, even some without royalty. And my picturebook come a fex year ago with a camera and some game based on 2 d barcodes.
Sadist ! There should be jail time for acts as abject as this. Think a minute about those poor childs, their brains damaged by the exercice, unable in the future to disagree and make judgement, just agreeing to anything... Wait, continue the good work, you form perfect little american citizens.
the fact that a company spend a lot of money on something does not prove in itself it is innovative.
There are numerous case of companies getting patent in order to justify their costs, not because their creations are worthy of a patent.
You can have a lot of people procrastinating for years, and when the boss ask what have you done ?, they run for patent applications for obvious ideas. But just because they spent money is no reason to award them the patents.
It is like programmers : They are some who are exceptionnal, and they are many who are not. Only the very good merit patent protection.
Research is not a guaranted investment, rentability depends on the quality of the work (theorically).
Imagine, 50 full install a month, a dream come true...
And you could compare the 10 first on Windows, the 10 first on Linux, the 10 first on BSD (how long will it be dying ?), the 10 first on solaris, the 10 first on.. sorry, no, not Os X, just Darwin, if you want, but that is already covered in part by BSD, the 10 first on the japanese version of windows, the 10 first on the polish version of windows, the 10 first on OS2, the 10 first on BeOS, and using emulators, the 10 first on Apple][, the 10 first on...
Easy, just ask some non english speaker to reverse engineer this part of code.
Suppose you emulate some software written in some langage you don't know. You see there is a function called ZfdshZaeddJEzsedk() that always return true. You can do the same thing without knowing it really means AllMyMoneyWillBeSentToBill(), and it will be hard to prove that you lied, because you only reproduced the intented behaviour.
the point was a response to the parent post, which was a response to my first post on the subject. If you surf at +3, you missed some part of the exchange. Else, I'm sorry I was not clear enough : saying that "the big problem in enterprise is OOo not opening correctly Office files" miss the fact the ancient version of office don't open them correctly either, and sometime don't open them at all.
I have one version of office. I paid it. It is 97. And it cannot open recent word documents. So saying M$ as no migration cost is PURE BULLSHIT.
Don't tell me it is normal, it is too old because: 1) the PII/400 I bought it with is still more than enough for bureautic, and I don't see the first reason to upgrade. 2) OOo can open, even if not completely correctly the Word files I cannot open with Office97.
European citizens, from Maastricht on, are never cousulted about european construction.
(And even then, it was : here are 96 pages of very small writen treaty. Do you want it ? Yes or No, no amendment possible. In fact, it was only a plebicite of the current governements at the time.)
As for European Union, coming after European Economic Comunity, coming after Economic Comunity of Coal and Steel, integrating BeNeLux, Germany, Italy and France in the fifhties, it is essentially an economic oriented conglomerate.
The constitution project can be considered as an attempt to involve citizens, but for now, the ruling organs are so complex, and citizens so far from them that one cannot pretend Europe is a democracy. Last example, european where not consulted about the opportunity to go from 15 to 25, despite the fact it change a lot of power relations.
And I don't even want to begin to speak about one of the worst aspect, the fact that national parliament become registration chambers for implementing in local law distant decisions, without taking the time to discuss them, and without power to reject them completly.
It is very clear in the case of IP laws, where lobbyist are far more powerful than citizens, and even states, to orient the politic.
Now, as for socialism, a certain amount of it, in the form of universal health care, social security... is part of european culture. But it will not survive if Europe stay all about economy, as now.
So, that was what an european see in European Union. I think a lot of other don't see anything, being too much occupied by reality TV.
... If IBM win because SCO is exhausted, IBM has not won peace of mind about Linux. They don't have proven that Linux is safe, they just proved that fighting IBM is expensive. It seems really clear that BayStar was encouraged, through S2, by MS, to invest in SCO. But is it impossible for RBC to inject in SCO IBM's money, just to be sure they have the money to go all the way to the supreme court and to prove clearly and for all that Linux is OK. Without speaking of the boost in public image for IBM, as the good guy.
no political strings as long as they are not producer. Wait for them to be the one source, and I think they'll get the privilege to become an additionnal States's state (willingly or not, that is not a problem)
it is not a copyright protection defeating program, because fair play is not a copyright protection. Fair play is a customers rights restriction tool. perhaps less evil than other, but customers rights restriction tool. It IS NOT Digital Right Management, as it does not manage the rights of the public to have a public domain, to create, to have fair use... IT IS A CUSTOMERS RIGHTS RESTRICTION TOOL.

why not ?, whether the signal is analogic or digital, there is a signal going through a wire that, no matter the quality of shielding, is an antenna.

1) Build Nuclear reactor
2) Make it go KABOOM
3) Have it advertised on TV worldwide
4) Let the tourists come
5) Profit !!!
Yeah, we have all the steps.
