And the "wheel" came before patent #3, which was "A method and appararatus for creating regular rectangular subdivisions of a yeast byproduct-enhanced grain based matrix."
Wow! That sounds like the neatest thing since sliced bread!
There's some new stuff in there. Apparantly, they insinuated that even Microsoft and Apple are not immune to being sued,
So much for those zillions of dollars MS spent on their license from SCO!

To unleash a great big Can of Whoop-Ass upon any Company, Individual, Congressperson, or other Entity not acting in accordance with the Principles of Common Sense, as determined by a Slashdot poll;
I guess you'd be the first person whoop-assed, since Common Sense tells us that Congress would never open Whoop-Ass on themselves!
Second, his job is physically dangerous. Why do you think the plate man wears so much protective equipment? Let's see how well you recover from a 90+ mph fastball between the eyes, off the inside of your knee, or (God forbid) a tipped ball that gets by the catcher and goes right off your nuts. Broken bones are a fact of life for any umpire with a full schedule of high-level ball.
phageman is correct. I'm a catcher (modified fast-pitch softball), and I made the mistake of not wearing a cup.... ONCE. Of course, that game I got a ball that bounced funny in the dirt... First game my wife and kids ever came to, too...
I have the utmost respect for umps. Not only do they stand and have someone throw at them as fast as they can, while another guy swings a stick in front of his face, but no matter what he calls, half of the people there will curse him for a mistake.
Yep. Tarantella has the 425 Encinal address that used to be SCO.
I had an OpenDesktop 2.0 system that ran for 7 years straight, with the only reboots being hardware upgrades. And if you had a 286, Xenix SysV/286 was the way to go (Microport was too unstable).
But they have nothing to lose, so they're free to run a "scorched-earth" campaign.
Disclaimers: IANAL, IANACEO, IANACFO.
If IBM can countersue them into the ground, then they can be acquired by IBM for nothing, instad of the zillions McBride is hoping for. If this happens, McBride, Sontag and Co. can kiss those golden parachutes they were hoping for goodbye.
I doubt it. A buddy told me about the stuff they used to do at CalTech...
DISCLAIMER: My buddy may have been shitting me...
He said they used to freeze frogs in liquid N2 and throw them against the wall to shatter. Then they'd put it in the wastebasket, and get a kick out of the reaction the stink got from the next sucker to enter the room.
One day, he said, a guy didn't have any N2, so he used LOX instead. It reacted with the volatiles in the frog and blew out the wall when they threw it.

"Really assemblyman? This privacy measure isn't needed? Will your position be the same when it's YOUR information instead of ours?"
Assemblyman: Hmm... Let's amend the bill to make it a felony to sell the SSN of a political officeholder.
You need more slack.
all ornery fucking bastards that treated you like you were stupid, by default.
So they only hired French people?
Downward Spiral would also be a good name for a rock band.

"Umpires, WITH their human quirks and weaknesses, are part of the game of baseball."
Exactly. Read up on the legendary "battles" between John McGraw and Bill Klem...
Also, human umpires are much more likely to call a strike if the catcher makes the pitch good.
As a catcher, I can confirm this.

You can remove the tags. They state that they are not to be removed except by consumer.

It's a shame, ain't it?

Yes, but they weren't able to put frickin' LASERs on the heads of frickin' sharks until 20003.
Oh, come now. Hans' answers are short and sweet compared to this guy's! :-)
with very good stability and decent security if you apply all the proper security patches
Assuming you agree with the new licensing terms they throw into the security patches (see SP3 for details).

I would like nothing more than to see them go after Microsoft.
If only for the cognitive dissonance it provides watching slashdotters figure out who to cheer for there...
Whatchu talkin' 'bout Willis?

There can be only one Altoid

And that is the original peppermint, which is luckily not available in extra strength.
Wasn't SVR4 from the early '90s???
You beat me to it.
I guess the .uk domain is reserved for ucky food?
Isn't that kind of redundant, given the general stereotype of British cuisine?
I agree that there is nothing illegal about having a monopoly.
I misphrased. Because MS has been legally declared a monopoly, different rules apply. In addition, they have been convicted of abusing their monoply.
Is that better?
