That is exactly what is happening. Undercut the cost of your competitors to make it look like you are cheaper and then make it up on the handling charges.
I dunno if best buy would have these items, but they are certainly available. Lots of current motherboards come with either IDE or SATA RAID controllers onboard. Or you can pick up one of several PCI cards and add RAID-0 or RAID-1 storage to your PC.
I would think the liability issue is already there. Most of these genereic mass manufactured home computers come with some type of virus scanning software. Without providing a two page paper about how to use the damn thing aren't they making themselves more liable? In the "You gave me the tool but didn't tell me how to use it!" frivilous lawsuit sense.
They could still put your domain on a message going through a spoofable system, right?
Right. But then the recieving server would see that the message wasn't sent from an ip on your list of acceptable addresses and reject the spoofed message. You are reading it as your server only relays messages from a list of acceptable addresses when this is a situation of the destination server only accepting from addresses in a list approved by the domain that the message is suppoedly from.
Believe it or not he's right. A whole heckuva lot of schools (I was looking in 97) started requiring that all Freshmen, and some required all Sophmores, to live on campus. The only exceptions I could find were if you were local or had family in the area that you would be living with. The reasoning was it was another educational experience living with other people that you didn't know, and other cultures that you might not be used to.
Some people don't leave their computers on 24/7. They turn them off when they leave the house etc. Hence they are booting their computers once a day probably.
and checks to see if it should be doing a graphical bootup.
So, this shows that he doesn't think the only reason to run Linux is to support an X environment. He continues to talk about what would happen IF starting up in a GUI mode were the current choice. He doesn't however ever state that would be the only choice.
The problem with this theory is that if he immediatly jumped ship it would look like the pump and dump scheme it is and the SEC (in theory) would be all over him. There would also be the huge potential for criminal fraud charges being brought against him.
Well technically yes, we all own public land. Hence the public term. Of course that means that anyone can go on it and do what they want within the law. So while you surely in some sense own your curb, or easment (we have a lot of places here with easments and no real curbs) really, you have no control over it. One other thing to consider is that many if not most garbage companies won't collect your garbage if it isn't in the public area as collecting it from your private property can be considered theft.
I hadn't seen that. All I had seen up to this point was that SCO was setting aside a large chunk of money every quarter to cover legal fees in the ongoing legal suit. That leads one to believe that the lawyers weren't working on contingency.
This is one of those situations I have gotten legal advice on for exactly this reason. Apparently it all depends on where you are. In many places each document in a contract package is it's own contract. So if you were to sign everything but the non compete you would have entered into a contract on everything but the non compete. This means everything counts but the non compete. If the HR person doesn't bother to check that there is a signed non-compete this is a document problem for the company and the burden of proof is on them. Of coures this is also why you should retain copies of the contract so you can document that you signed everything except that one piece. Not turning it in is a seperate issue for the HR people to deal with. In my opinion it should be returned unsigned and then you should proceed from there. That way the company knows up front that you don't agree to that and they can decide to hire you or not.
Of course anyone reading this should immediatly disregard everything that I've said, the parent poster said, and initial comments said as we aren't lawyers. A real lawyer should be contacted in these situations as the laws are differant in differant states/countries, and laws get updated and changed.
Just think if they actually spent that money on development instead. They might actually have something to sell and not be hated by everyone. Then again I always hated dealing with SCO so maybe not.
You can use multiple usb keyboards on a pc. Or you could use a USB keyboard and a PS/2 keyboard at the same time. I've done all of the above with no problem. I believe the max extension on a VGA cable is 25ft and USB is 15' without signal boosting. If you want to spend a bunch of money you can get a KVM extender style setup which lets you extend the keyboard, mouse, video, and audio up to 250ft over CAT5.
The lawyers probably don't care. They get paid regardless. They might get paid more if they beat IBM, but they are probably already being paid very well.
If they log off you can't change thier desktop background to something so offensive. So when they walk away from the computer without logging off you change the background. Who wants to come back to thier desktop and see a picture of the goatse.cx guy after all. Or, more importantly who wants to have thier boss see the goatse.cx guy on their desktop?

They are billing you for the handling charges. This all goes back to when mail oder sales first took off.
So will the windows update shortcuts.
The address bar doesn't use IE by default, it uses the default browser.

You missed the part where he said

The curb isn't your private property. Hence police have been able to go through trash for ages.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up.
The two unites are connected via the CAT5 cable and extend the various listed protocols.

Define "good money."

Maybe there is another USC-17, but I think it has to do with the burden of proof in proving insanity when using an insanity defense.
True. From the description I would guess that this either isn't an issue wherever that person works, or there is little chance of getting caught.
