    No, they're lonely, depressed, negative because they had to deal with marketing!

  5. Like an old Looney Toon! on SCO Calls IBM Countersuit "Unsubstantiated Allegations" · · Score: 1


    SCO vs. IBM reminds me of those old Looney Toons(tm) where the little yapping dog keeps annoying the big bulldog. The bulldog keeps ignoring him until he's had enough, and then... WHAM! He smacks the little annoying dog away, without even breaking his pace.

    I know you're either trolling, sarcastic, or trying to be funny (pick one), but in the US, it's common to use M/D/Y rather than D/M/Y.

    Not really, because a stack overflow attack(binary only) wouldn't work on both architectures. VAX/BSD was VAX, and SunOS was (at that time) MC680x0.

    Tell that to Robert Morris. IIRC, the Morris Worm --

    Especially timing loops!

    When I installed SCO ODT 2.0 on a Gateway 486-DX2/66, the Adaptec
    drivers blew up. It turns out the machine was "too fast" (which had me and my buddy ROFL). We had to patch out a timing loop in the Adaptec drivers.
