Sorry, but perl is not necessarily a poor tool
for a job just because it gets large.
In fact,
I have written a command interpreter in perl that
talked to another interpreter (sqlplus) in
approximately 4000 lines of perl. My perl 'script'
automated complete schema upgrades including constraints (amoungst other
'features') because I tire easily of the routine
crap that hackers despise.
And even if they were not taken from the orbiting
Command Module, it is possible to take a picture
of what would appear as an earthrise from various points on the
surface of the moon.
MS sees the writing on the wall, and for some
reason, they can't seem to re-invent themselves.
They were cut a nice break, and yet, their
momentum of their past, like a bull, drives on.
Perhaps todays
MS news is indicative of a change with MS.
Or, maybe it had something to do with pumping up
the markets today, and, as a giveback to the
economy in light of the news regarding
stock options.
In case you missed it, MS can control the world
economy today, so IMHO, this news indicates to
me that MS and the U.S. Government essentially
made a deal. Bush needs some good news on the
economy (it's not a good as they would have you
believe) in order to help his chances in the
election this fall.
I'm sure there are many angles to what this really
means, but I'm confident that MS is seeing the
writing on the wall in regards to the SCO front.
They need to learn to stop throwing good money
after bad. Even if you do have billions to
pass out to the stockholders.

Maybe, maybe not. Here's a link.
Well, you can always use Knoppix. Verify that it sees and configures the hardware properly, and if all is well, do the hd-install.
A little anti-FUD never hurts.
And 500 errors also. Though, those may be due to the server running out of the new coloured ink.
Ummm, so that the Linux users *have* a distro they can download?
This is just more FUD. Almost every week it seems.
As opposed to 99.9% of anti-virus activity.
Then why aren't the dead-tree things called oldspapers?
Because MS has nothing to lose. Just continue the FUD and hope they keep the loss of customers minimized.
Good point, but it will not be heeded. After all, the Department of Homeland [IN]Security uses Windows.
But, hey, get with the program dude, you forgot to mention the plastic.
And don't forget, WD-40 has a role also.
Damn man, you sound like the bush administration.
Please study TCP/IP better before you ask such a question again.
They didn't have their billing system set up back then.
Do they have to wait for the bad guys to finish their ports?

The corruption and coercion come BEFORE the voter has made their vote.
I can imagine however, that MS Office on Linux would require an emulation/compatibility layer of software that could make your points moot.
Like a virus. A virus is ideally suited to survive nearly forever in a frozen environment.
And even if they were not taken from the orbiting Command Module, it is possible to take a picture of what would appear as an earthrise from various points on the surface of the moon.
And broken worse than SCO could have imagined.
They won't get to keep the pieces.
Well, OK then, if you're that paranoid about checking the link, then I'm not gonna check it either.
Dude, roll a nudder one.

Remember, a vote for Nader will be a net effect vote for bush. Only Kerry has a chance to defeat bush, especially due to the electoral college.
