Jim Whitty, administrator of the state's Road User Fee Task Force...the state created Whitty's task force in November 2001 with the mandate of studying a variety of alternative sources of income.
States do not create task forces, politicians do. The citizens of Oregon need to find the politician responsible, and demote them to some sort of task force role.
The correct response for the politician would be to allow the roads to fall into disrepair until the citizens are willing to pass a gas tax increase.
The fact that no elected official is mentioned in the article...well after yesterday's FCC decision, I guess we just better get used to it.
He said it ranged from "10-15" lines of code to "Huge blocks of code." I'm imagining that it's these theoretical "huge blocks" that has his panties in a bunch.

SCO's lawsuit against IBM does not involve patents or copyrights. SCO's complaint specifically alleges breach of contract, and SCO intends to protect and enforce all of the contracts that the company has with more than 6,000 licensees.

While you're keeping them on the phone, try to talk them into another career.
For "charities" (police benevolence society or whatever), ask them how much goes to the "cause", and how much is used for admin and overhead. They'll offer an 800 number, try to get THEM to call the number. I try to convice them they are working for crooks. Quote GWB's "you're either on the side of good, or the side of evil".
I don't know if it does any good, but it always makes me feel better.
I developed shrink-wrapped CD-ROMs at a place that did that. We were unable to test our installation software. Eventually installation got outsourced. We couldn't test the contractor's work. Basicly users who installed our software later had to reformat their Windows machines.

i would prefer that they say "today the government of america destroyed a city populated by over four million people"
I would prefer they didn't say that. It can't be said (yet). I don't support this war, but from what I can tell, the precision warheads have not destroyed the city. That's why the lights are still on.
I can never repay my parents for everything they've done for me in my life. My dad is very smart and has been able to offer sage advice my whole life (he's in his 80's, I'm in my 40's). I'm the only one of my siblings who is able to offer advice to my parents. The rest of them must lift heavy objects or rake leaves to give something back.
I get warm fuzzies helping them. I help their friends, it makes them proud.
My mother grew up without central heat or indoor plumbing (in Michigan). They've come a long way, and deserve to take it easy in their old age. I'm amazed at the ruluctancy of the/. crowd to help those who've helped them so much.
I believe the term "Software Engineer" is a tribute to engineers. Rewind 20 years: software development was hacking. The academics looked around for a model to aspire to, and saw that engineers were doing project management correctly.
I once refused to put Software Architect on my business card. My reasoning was that I was employed in the construction industry and wanted to avoid confusion. I might have done it if I'd worked in another industry.
You might have more luck advocating for professional tain driver as a vocation.
As a student of mechanical engineering...There's just no engineering in anything I do.
These are the kinds of mutexes that SE tries to eliminate.
If they find a way to subpena the logs, IP address could be added to that list of info. Cross-reference that with P2P clients they want to bust, and it suddenly looks like a huge win for the RIAA.
Are logs covered by attorney/client privileged communications? Does privileged communcations still exist?
Don't be a dick. A simple, "I'm sorry, I'm just not interested. If you don't mind, could you take me off your list?" goes a hell of a long way. They don't want to waste their time, so the quicker you're off the phone the better it is for them. It takes like 2 extra seconds of your day to be polite. If everyone else did that for you, maybe you wouldn't come home pissed off every day.
Is this a troll or what? Who's the dick here? I have couple approachs that I use when I'm in the mood to waste some time.
Take as much of their time as possible (time is money to them).
Try to talk them into another career.
When the police & firefighters benevelonce society calls (my favorite), I always ask if they know they are working for crooks. When I ask how much goes to to fundraising and admin, they try to give me an 800 #, I try to get them to call it. They don't call me at home anymore (I like to think because they lost too many employees), so now I try to do this from other people's houses.
If everybody did this, telemarketers would not exist.
Tell that to John Ashcoft. Michigan was the first english speaking government to outlaw capital punishment. We don't believe in it. So Mr. Ashcroft comes up here and uses federal statutes for murder (in a national forest or in a drug crime), and overrides local federal prosecutors.
This from the party that used to stress states rights. I think states rights is just code for Keep the n*gg*rs down!.

This is Thursday, it's trade secret day. Monday's and Wednesday's are contract violation days. Try to keep up.

I assume huge block=16 lines.

The point is that they didn't do this. If they had, their lawsuit would be legit.
Don't short the stock! If you have to cover your short, that can cause the stock to go up. Just leave that smelly POS alone.
What is happening Jun 14th re IBM/AIX? They will revoke the AIX licence. Details will follow.
Can't use Linux. Can't use proprietary non-SCO Unix. Windows must be the only clean alternative. These ass-holes just shot the OTHER foot.
Everyone who has ever bought a copy of Caldera/Linux should return it. Since it was marketed as GPL code and it's not.
If everyone does this right now they won't have $$$ to pay the lawyers and the whole thing might go away.
The email message wasn't "Let me know when you're there so I can call you".
The phone message was "Did you get my email".

I had a professor who claimed anytime you had to append "science" to something it meant that it wasn't. Computer Sicence, Political Science, etc.
Of course, your friendly Michigan AG is as big of a computer nerd as you are, and knows what the hell a router, NAT, or MAC address is.
He better, or he he'll come up to speed by Monday p.m.. How else will he enforce the law? I mean this in all seriousnees.
