This enitre issue is moot. SCO distributed copies of linux under the GPL. Thus, if they owned the code, they GPLed it. End of story. It's silly to talk about it. They have already released their copyright. That is the final, and only important issue.
Well, actually, M+S teach people how to solve problems by route, at least, the way they are taught in elementary and secondary school. Has anyone ever seen a study that people with a lot of pre-collage math can "think" better than pre-collage English?
Actually, I HAVE seen a study that music students tend to acheive higher scores on both the math and verbal sections of the SAT. Hmm. Perhaps things are more complicated.
Well, except for the fact that Mozilla runs on OS9, you're right. Not the newest version, but some of the older versions. Too lazy to look it up for you, but I'm sure you are capable. (My ex is running Mozilla under OS 8.6)
I video edit a lot (see my homepage.) Now, when I do effects work, I want as beefy a machine as I can get. But, quite frankly, most people's work would be much better if they stuck to cuts-only editing, or cuts and simple dissolves.
And you can do that at DV resolution with a 3-year-old iMac. "Chopping them to bits" requires very little computer power. (Shedding a tear for my dear old Amiga...)
You pay for your roads? So, you hired the contractor, poured the cement, etc? I only drive a motorcycle, so I don't need your huge road...yet, for some reason, I had to help pay for it. hmmmm.
I don't have much to steal, yet somehow, I'm still stuck paying for your law enforcement. Trust me, it benefits you far more than me.
(Ignoring your pathetic ad hominims for now.)
Why do I do this? Well, other than the obvious (I have to) it is because these things contribute to the common good. And you know what? It is to your benefit to have affordable health care, unless you like dodging lepers on the way to work. It is to your benefit to have ample employment and housing, unless you like angry mobs.
Liberals don't want charity. We want a nice place to live. Liberations want "what is theirs" but are too short-sighted to see that their utopia would collapse in short order.
Oh, if you want evidence, look at countries with few government regulations and low taxes. Then look at the quality of life. Choose. The same works for states. I'd choose to live in Washington or New York over Alabama any day.
I hate replying to ACs, but I care about you, and want you to understand why your perspective (which you so cleverly came up with all by yourself, without any help from politicians, the media, peers, etc.) is really harmful to you as well as the rest of us.
Sounds great. So lift all of the laws regulating trade unions.
Oh yeah, while you're at it, stop maintaing the roads, because transportation is not a right. Pay for your own roads. You have no right to the fruit of my labor. Oh, and stop licensing drivers, or requiring insurance.
Oh, and no more police protection, because saving your ass from the mob of people you've mistreated is not a right. I'm not laboring to save you. Oh, and I don't want to pay for a fire department to stop your buisness that you worked so hard to create be burned down to the ground.
Um, I'm fine with "competing" with people from other countries (that word is a euphemism, and had to have been used 20 times in the article, which should be a clue.) However, until they have actual labor standards, it isn't a matter of competing. If they can't form labor unions, and cant negotiate for better wages/living conditions, then they will never get a safety net either. Did "outsourcing" of our manufacturing jobs create a safety net? No. Outsourcing of IT won't either. That will require political change.
That's right. We now need to make $5.00/hr and die early because we have no healthcare, unless we happen to be an "entrepreneur." You know, because anyone can start a successful buisness. Because most buisnesses that start are successful. And you can do it even if you don't have any money/wealthy family to help you out. Your friend did it! (Well, assuming he didn't come from a wealthy family)
So that's a very good plan. We'll all become successful buisnessmen, employing workers in India.
(mind you, I didn't actually look through that site much, so it might blow too...but I know that Wal*mart drives down wages for millions of people, and use their clout in very...well...bad ways. And low-wage workers are bad for the economy. And shopping there makes you part of the problem.)
Well, he could sue them. It's called "slander." If they wrote it down as well, it's called "libel." As a bonus, as part of the trial he could subpoena all the documents related to the case, and find out what they really had to say about him. Courts tend to look at libel related to employment very favorably. He should contact a lawyer.

Hehe...I grew up in the same small town as the club president...and that sounds about right for John. You're cool now! Enumclaw Power! And don't forget to include 100mb+plus pictures on your server!
...I was turned down by McDonalds. (seriously.) They SAY they are always hiring, but that is just so they can keep a file in case a few people quit. Lots of places do that. I've got a feeling you don't do much work in that end of the economy.
Also, just try and survive in a metro area on a McDonalds salary. (which is not only min. wage, but also part-time!)
...you mean, you release beta software, then send out patch after patch until you get it reasonably fixed..just in time for the next version with all new bugs. Sounds like a large Redmond-based software company in the mid- to late- 90s.
This is what is WRONG with software development today. If I had $15 for every lost hour of productivity due to software that was released with a "few buggy features"...well, I wouldn't be in debt anymore.
I wish it wasn't so damn easy to distribute patches these days...companies might have to commit actual resources to testing, and maybe even, *gasp*, knock back the release date when software ISN'T FINISHED YET.
He most defiantly is not the guy who turns his blinker on right before he makes is turn. People in Washington state don't use signal lights. I'm not even sure if all cars are equipped with them.
Well...you are about 25 miles south of Martinique. What are their laws? You could just boost the power and point your antennas due south a la Wolfman Jack... (during the 60s, he broadcast his radio show at "4 times the legal limit" from 4 towers just south of the Mexican border, pointed due north.)
I was going to say it is ironic that your comment got modded "Informative." Especially given that we don't know your sex or sexual preference. But it isn't ironic.
...wrong. Bullet holes will not cause explosive decompression. In fact, in an aircraft such as a jumbo jet, there would be NO decompression; the system would just compensate for the leakage.
