Seeing how crappy "Non-FREE" DRM is I am hoping a "FREE" DRM will be better in fact. One more way "FREE software" can prove it's better than "Non-FREE Software." DRM thatwork is what it's going to take to see more music and books out there. This is a place which the "FREE Software" movement can shine. We have GNU-PGP why can't we have GNU-DRM?
All as I can say is my ability to even reach/. over the last 3 days has been crappy. I just give up after a while 99% of the time. WTF is going on is it this dam worm eating up bandwidth? The connection attempts time out. I am Running Linux, Mozilla, Konq and Galeon. all 3 are flakey as long as I am logged in to teh site. A look at my firewall logs show that 99% of all attempts to connect to my IP are on port 135 with a scattering of port 137. This crap is slowing the internet down. The stupid fuckers who didn't patch their M$ products should be shot.
The failure is those spending their money are so ignorant of what they are buying. It would be the same failure no matter what the economic model. Spending good money on crappy products is stupid and short sided. No form of governance or economic model can protect you agaisnt your own stupidity. The goverments just make things worse when they try. Economic systems that are not viable colapse.
I can only guess that you have some superior economic or political system that still allows total freedom of the consumer to choice?
"Simply put *NOONE* with something to lose would pay money to be in a lawsuit with IBM. Microsoft would not acquire SCO if you paid them to take it."
Canopy does it. There are bound to be other dim bulbs out there that will. Thats the sad thing. These folks are in the business of suing so other companines in the same business might see it as a good deal.As lame as that sounds.
His firm just lost a case against it by the EEOC too. Boise is just like everyone else he puts his pants on one leg at a time. He has lost plenty but that isn't what they advertise. As far as I am concerned he lost the MS case. Since there was no penalty against MS and they are back to their old tricks. Boise was a bad choice for a lawyer for SCO. They are going down like a led ballon. I mena he didn't even get his clients to keep their mouths shut? That is like lawyer 101.
Sounds like a completely legal loosing business model. It's legal but pissing off potential customers with price gouging can be terminal to your company.
Ok Will Robinson you get the FCC and WARCC to accept that all then come talk to us. I figure it will only take you about 20 years. Really you have no idea how long this crap takes if they agree with you.

I am on a HF traffic net on 3975 right now. With all the QRN and tuner upers we get it's hardly dead. 20 meters is packed. HF is the most active place on the bands. My UHF repeater is dead only one QSO in the last month.

Yea and most of them gave it up and went on to other interests the only use for TNC's these days is APRS I haven't got that kind of interest these days. There are better modes of digital communications.
Being a HAM and have been on the recieving end of unlicensed "transmitting" power lines abet not broadband I can tell you the last people you want delivering your access to broadband is the power company. You want PG&E to deliver your broadband? These folks will not even fix their rf leaking transformers unless you threaten to bring in the FCC. They take 10 years to get anything done. Man the technology is a gross poluter of the RF enviroment, it's insecure as hell and ain't gonna happen. Have you ever dealt with the uptight bitches thay have answering the Phone? Give me a break LOL.

Sorry you met up with an ass hole. But I can understand having been accused of causing inteference when I was not even in town how defensive someone might get.
Some (a very few) of the very old hams are old farts and assholes, greedy assholes at that as well. Most Hams I know are great people that is the true of the majority. I would have been more than happy to try and help you find the problem. I am suprized you didn't do a web search. The FCC has lots of info on interference. At the frequency you are having problems at it has got to be very local. 2.5 ghz doesn't travel far it is attunated by trees,plants, walls, people and, things. The siganl your 2.5 ghz stuff puts out is weak as well. I would start looking very close to home. Start by unplugging stuff in the house and see if it goes away. Be sure to include your Monitor and Computer. Find out if your neighbors have got any new "toys" like 2.5 ghz networking gear or a phone. I just saw a wirless/wired networking box that uses the house wiring on sale. Don't know if that could cause trouble either. Look for stuff in that same frequency range. It's going to be close to you distance wise. Try finding a HAM your age and get some help from him. Good luck.

CB= unlicensed 27 Mhz band 1,000 od mouth breathers can get radio in truck stop
Amateur Radio = licensed Bands from 160 meters to above 5 ghz, mostly tech heads and geeks. Lots of trained emergencey service comunications provided for free provided to goverment with equipemtn provided by self. Radio's cost up 6 digits before decmials.

Well who the fuck is stupid enough to send files over packet radio anymore? The facts are I can carry a floppy 5 miles faster than you can send it teh data on.1% of it over VFH or HF packet radio. I ran a packet radio BBS for years. Packet radio is dead If you go up to 2.5 or 5 ghz you can send that files at about 50 mbt LOL. It's not my fault you can't pick and use technology. Packet Radio is dead That TNC is usless. It's even to light for a bookend. Try FEC or one of the other modes digital modes that does error correction. I have a HAL card that does only does 45 baud that can do binary transfers faster than that TNC and it's obsolete too. Broadband over power line is dead as a door nail just like packet radio is dead. I know why you poster as an AC you are a bootlegger so what ever you say may be true but is of zero value anyway.

I am a amateur radio operator. We have a big lobby with the FCC. Every place powerline broad band has been tried it's been a big problem. I don't think powerline brodaband is going to fly. Sorry you broad band can't interfere with the communications we provide during disaster free of charge to the goverment. FEMA loves us, most local emergency services love us. The only place this may not hold true is in a few east coast cities. Being a trained emergenct responder I have to let you know Powerline Broadband will be fought tooth and nail. We have the experience of HAMs in the U.K. as proof it's a issue. I also want to know how you will cope when I fire up my 1.5 KW RF amplifier and start talking with folks 500 or more miles away? It's going to swamp your puny little signal.

Why can't folks just use mpeg2? If you don't have IE and Window Media Player which I don't you will never get me watching this kind of stuff. Kind of hard to do on a Linux box. mpeg2 I can do. Are windows encoders cheaper or some shit?
heheh When I took a "required" firearms course we used the local police departments shooting range. They had two heavy solid wires from which they hung the carboard from freezers, washer and dryer shipping boxes strung across the range. They tape the targets to these. This is for "live" fire. I understand they have some high tech ( prolly 10 year old ) video stuff they train with at the Police Station. I was rather unimpressed as the local sportsmans club range is much nicer and more up to date. It even has shade to shoot under.To top this all off the cops range is at the local sewage treatment plant and it smells prety bad. Some how I just don't see your typical small town police using this Finish invention.
Why do you guys keep feeding islamic trolls and their supporters. You might start checking it out besides the usual left leaning majority here at/. there are a large number of islamic persons here. I mean no disrespect for their religon but when it starts to be a threat to my life I will not be quite.
They of course don't support the US never did and never will. Some of them would rather your sinfull ass was dead since you have no beard and do not worship the same "god" they do. You don't observe their diet and don't force your women to cover up completely, you allow them to drive and be out unaccompanied by a male relative. You "force" your sinful western media on them.(Yea right the US causes muslims to sin!) Oh yea lastly you will not allow them to attack Isreal and kill every man women and child/"push them into the sea". (Not that Isreal is such a nice place or led by a good government.) You are a Crusader a "westener" a Jew lover.
The lefties that support them just hate the US first and formost. Worse is then now some of the left are becoming anti semites because it's OK to be a Jew hater now since everyone knows all Jews are rich Republicans and control the US government.(Most muslims believe this too) That most Jews are actually liberal or moderate democrats anyway doesn't matter. It's now OK to be an anti-semite if you are a leftist. It's the "cool" thing to do. Isreal is an oppressor and "terrorst" government. They conviently ignore these ass holes who have been blowing themselves up untill this latest cease fire. They also ignore the fact that the fall of Saddam in Iraq forced the PA and Isreal to get their shit together. Since the PA lost the guy who had been most up front about funding the homicide bombers and Hamas. It will be nice when Palistine is a state. Most Arab goverments though they say they support this don't actually. Two Democracies in the middle east would be to big a threat to them. Their own people may demand the same kind of government. Their interst is to keep things stired up.
If you are going to feed the trolls at least know what is up a little. No I am no Jew I am even worse I am a fallen away christian who drinks and has pr0n on his computer surley Alah will strike me dead . Right I am waiting for the thunderbolt.
He really means in Socialist (communist ) countries dominated by people who think like him all would be perfect. If you aren't perfect they just shoot you. Just like Stalin and Pol Pot. They always say but we are not that kind of socialist which as we know is bull shit. He and his fellow travelers would be more than happy to send their thugs about in the middle of the night and take you and your family away and dispose of the bodies out in the woods you are now forbiden to enter even though they are owned by the (goverment) people. Your crime not blindly following but questioning them, not submitting to there superior political ideas. If you disagree with them they make fun of you, point out your spelling and gramitical errors pat themselves on the back for being politically superior and smirk without refuting your argument with any valid or logical thought or statement. If you disagree with them you become a stupid non person. One good reason to keep guns about even if you don't like them. They may come in handy some day for dealing with a good goverment gone bad by comming under their control.

SCO can not be bought. The majority of shares are held by Canopy. You will never get 51% ownership of stock because they are not for sale.

49% does not equal "control" of SCO.
