If this is true, it would be awesome to see the MPAA declared a monopoly, and forced to act under the more stringent rules applied to monopolies.
Good god, never get rid of old hardware. Just store it in a box somewhere like your grandma saving old National Geographics. They'll be good for something eventually, I'm sure.
Especially once the {MP,RI}AA and the BSA gets the bill mandating DRM on all new computers rammed through Congress (SSSCA/CBDTPA).

SCO owns all UNIX System V source code SCO owns agreements to all UNIX vendors SCO owns all UNIX System V copyrights SCO owns all claims for violation of UNIX licenses. SCO controls UNIX System V derivative works.
I suspect that Novell might just have a few things to say about that!
I loved that compiler! The 68030/68882 compiler did some incredible optimizations!
We looked at some of the code once, and it stored some (moderately complex) result in a register, and we couldn't figure out why, until about four pages of ASM later, it re-used it!
His calculations for the power supply have SEVENTY WATTS budgeted for the video card, which, of course, forces him to spend $190 on the 450 watt power supply.
To be honest, that one was one of his better choices. PCPower&Cooling supplies are probably among the best available. And considering that he wants to add 4 more drives, he needs the extra 12V...
The equalizer is the cost of the drive. CD drives are dirt cheap; if you back up to hard drive, the drive is the media; but if you amortize the cost of the tape drive over, say 100 terabytes (not so unreasonable given the durability of tape drives), you bring up your cost to maybe 55 cents on the gig for tape. Granted, if you back up only 10 terabytes, it's no cheaper than hard drives.
No, the cost of the tape drive is not necessarily the equalizer. The equalizer is the cost of the operator sitting there and swapping CDs/DVDs, as opposed to getting a tape solution that can hold your typical incremental backup on a single tape, that can be dropped in at COB, and removed in the morning.

Will SCO be dumb enough to send a bill first? Preferably through the US Mail?
Then they're dead for Mail fraud.

And when you type, the letters don't match your finger movements!
Yeah, but remember, sendmail was designed in the "good old days", when there were maybe a few hundred hosts, and people on the Net trusted each other!
I had also added a parenthetical to the story when I submitted it, namely, "And these are the guys who want us to 'trust them' with our voting?"

NEIIGGHHH!!!

Care to try again?
Right. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to shoot you.

What a senseless waste of human life.
Or so the Germans would have us think!

We were very impressed....
Intel blew it with the 386SX. They should have made it 286 pin-compatible.
The chip that really sucked was the 486SL. We developed a board using it, and couldn't find anyone at Intel who would admit to having worked on it.
How about this misquote:
64 bits should be enough for anybody
You had light seconds? We had furlongs. 1,904,000 of them!
Gates (as Morpheus): There are no developers.
The weight of Hubble is 11110 kg, I don't even want to start thinking about the mass.
Uh, wouldn't the weight of Hubble in orbit be 0, and it's mass be 11110 kg?
Looking at the submission (disclaimer, I didn't RTFA), you'd think this was prime JonKatz material! I could see a Hellmouth-ism coming from this one.
Trek ships are powered by both fusion (impulse engines) and matter/antimatter (warp engine) reactions.
I think you're talking about barratry. It's come up several times in slashdot discussions about the case.
If you RTFA, you see that Ballmer compares Win2K3 with RH6 (not 7.2, but 6!!!!).

Probably because PNGs were designed by those Evil UnAmerican Communist Open-Sourcers(tm).
