That could be controlled by the same commission that regulates all starship combat so that all ships are "right side up" when fighting (unless they're doing a clever loop or roll-and-dive manuever).
This is in the range of cool as during one of the Voyager fly-bys of Saturn when someone at JPL retransmitted the pictures over amateur radio Slow-Scan TV as they came in. A bunch of us sat around VE2CUA watching them "live".
They've had good commercials for a long time. "Flying cars" etc.
Now they just need something with impact. How about a penguin bursting into an auditorium full of Microsoft drones arranged 1984 or Triumph of Will style. Then the penguin smashes a giant Windows desktop screen.
What happens when the 800 lb gorilla decides that it wants to use a particular configuration? Sure, people can still use other desktops, browsers, office software, etc. People had choices before Microsft ate the market.
The pull of developing and using a standard configuration can be huge.
All this extra security at airports, then add in the health-screening if SARS gets loose from China again. (One new case found) In that case, everyone might as well stay home.
Washington has been upset by Brazil's tit-for-tat reaction to the US-VISIT system that went into force yesterday with digital technology after a year of preparation. US travellers have complained of up to nine-hour delays at Rio de Janeiro airport where Brazilian immigration authorities, only told of the order last week, are using inkpads and paper.
Well gee, travellers upset by security measures, imagine that! (Inkpads and paper sound like non-security.) Looks like the Brazilian governement as a whole is undecided about this, "not foreign policy".
(Too bad clones don't have identical fingerprints, and Raelian cloning methods still seem to be a bit.. umm.. fake? Besides, as the original, I'd be far more evil than any cheap knock-off!)
You know that you're bad shape when you watch Scott of the Antarctic and you keep nodding when only manage to "man-haul" a couple miles or less that day, or when they slowly lose people. Yep, been there...
I don't know if villification of out-sourcing is linked to open source. There are plenty of closed source projects that been out-sourced to the four winds.
The slow out-source/in-house cycle has been going on for decades. It'll be interesting when the tide changes this time.
This has to be some pathetic cry for help. Later, we'll look back and think "If we'd said something or done something, perhaps it didn't have to happen that way." Then we'll remember that it was Darl and SCO, and shrug.
Really? Why faxes compared to any other phone call with caller id blocked? (The phone number on the fax itself is generated by software. Trivial to remove or change.)

If it gets angry, not damned far enough! Bring the noise...
Canada had an excuse-slip from that because we got the pilot movie in theaters that was blocked by Lucas in the US.
That could be controlled by the same commission that regulates all starship combat so that all ships are "right side up" when fighting (unless they're doing a clever loop or roll-and-dive manuever).
I didn't notice the warning signs. During the job interview they asked me "Where do you see yourself in five weeks?"
Yeah, in that range of cool. Thanks!
No no, it's fully complete! But you have register the software before they'll send you a rover.

Now that would be different eh!
No. IBM had to go through a long agonizing reappraisal first. Before then they couldn't find it with both hands.
The pull of developing and using a standard configuration can be huge.
Now .. the question is .. is this a bad thing?
No more than the password on ZIP files isn't solid protection.
Does this mean that Darl is claiming rights over the universe? (No surprise there.)

I was curious how a regional federal judge (34!) could order this.

How many breadboxes to a Volkswagen?

It's not based on Hubbard tech unless stats have to be up by Thursday at 2pm. (And when do you have your weekly status meetings? ;^)
If you really have no idea who he is, start this book and get up to speed.

It's enough to make me loose my mind!

(I can't figure out if your post has a hidden smiley. Can you figure out if mine has one?)
After all, the immorality or varying amounts of illegality of spam wouldn't slow them down compared to war-dialing for fax in the middle of the night.
