  1. Re:"Goodwill" on SCO posts Q2 Loss, Gets $11k from Linux · · Score: 1
    So no -- it's not like SCO's accountants said "We suck, everyone hates us, revise the books!"

    Why not? That seems perfectly valid to me and I'm certain that any auditors would believe it. :)

  2. Re:they EXIST! Re:Checks and Balances on Testing ISP Censorship · · Score: 1
    Sometimes it gets tricky, especially across national borders. Google for Xenu, Scientology and .. Google.

    Where is the US federal court closest to Norway?

    Yeehaw! Let's have us a photoshop lynching party!

    They still have $6,767,000 worth of goodwill - I guess they didn't subtract out the badwill.

    Ah, then obviously they're listing the gross goodwill. I doubt they have any net goodwill at all.

  5. Re:Slackware on Is the Linux Desktop Getting Heavier and Slower? · · Score: 1

    I still keep my Slackware 2.1 (Linux 1.1) CD handy. If I want to quickly install something on a 486/66, you can't beat it. (Yes, I wouldn't dare expose it to the Internet, and there are modern light no-GUI distros available, but it works just fine for what I need and 32M ram/250M HD is more than enough.)

  6. Re:Whats your favourite cow exploit? on WiFi Gone Wild · · Score: 1

    Hmmm... At first, I wondered if they'd now outsource cowboys to India, then it occured to me that there might be a problem with that...

    "Quick Cletus, get yer gun! Our cattle are being rustled by pirate hackers using zombies! I think they work for the Russian mafia!"

    "... Pa, have you been smoking that duck-weed again?"

  8. Re:WGW vs GGW on WiFi Gone Wild · · Score: 1

    And rather than seeing Rutger Hauer in a crummy sci-fi movie where he's electronically linked to some woman, I'd suggest pretty good fantasy where he's linked to a woman by a curse. (You'd think, after a while, all that would be enough to drive him Batty and crush someone's head.)

    Ah! I was wondering why those were classified as munitions at the border.

    If I Was An Evil Overlord #34. I will not turn into a snake. It never helps.

    If Darl turned into a snake, not only would it not help, but no one would notice.

  14. Re:The only solution on SCO Says No Way To a GPL Solaris, Moves Trial Back · · Score: 1
    Darl was pimping on street corners trying to sell the company to IBM and others before this started. IBM turned them down.

    Now IBM just has to win in court with massive damages and they will own SCO--no purchase necessary. (The only sticky part will be on how to carve the turkey if multiple companies win big against SCO.)

  15. Re:but... on SCO Says No Way To a GPL Solaris, Moves Trial Back · · Score: 2, Informative

    The assets (including IP) of a bankrupt companies belong to the creditors. Stockholders are also creditors, but usually have to join the back of the line (depending on the type of stock). After government taxes and direct bank loans, I'd expect IBM to be at the front of the line with knife, fork and bib.

    What's wrong with 20 tonnes of paper delivered by air?

  17. Re:I wish I had... on DARPA Announces Grand Challenge 2005 · · Score: 1

    You should talk to this guy. (There are TV psychics who can help with that.)

  18. Re:Insider tips on Text Messages in the Courts · · Score: 1

    About the best you can hope for is that no one ever puts up an archive of all your text messages in an easy-to-Google format.

    If someone war-chalks it up, it won't be obscure for long. What is the symbol for "lame gateway security"?

    Actually, when it only covers a /32 (one IP address) it sounds a lot like a Goober With Firewall. :)

    The RE/MAX rep assured them that eveything was fine, and they had to move fast to close the deal.

    Yeah, right next to the author's house. (At least that's what the map said.)
