At least the part where you mentioned that the trolls are usually the first to point out changes in slashdot. This is why I'm burning karma on what I feel is an important question. It may be FUD, it may easily be true...I'd like to know which.
The problem being, due to the nature of trolling, using them as a news source is unreliable at best because of exagerrating and fact twisting.
However, they are a better source of information than nothing. ['nothing' being the slashdot SOP ]
There goes Microsoft! Finally, a law that can be used against them... Actually, they've proven themselves effectively above the law, as demonstrated by the 'penalty' they faced for the laws that were already used against them.
No, we're trying to actually CUT FUNDING for public schools, period. but I don't expect someone who throws around the term "liberal handouts" to actually, god forbid, read the fscking news [outside of conservative enclaves such as k5 and/.]
Read about some of the fun shit going on in Texas, then get back to me.
To all appearences, you're full of shit, and probably trolling.
A socialist country has state health care, our health care system is generally regarded as being the worst in the western world, mostly due to the LACK of government intervention and funding.
Ditto for education, wich the neoconservatives are trying to eradacate as fast as they can.
So, what are traits of a socialist country is it you beleive that we have? Point by point, if you would, starting with a CLEAR definition of what you consider socialist.
If you can think that much for yourself, that is [unless G Gordon Liddy is due to come on, in which case I can understand that you would bail out of the conversation].
Thank you for your time and prompt consideration of this matter.
Actually, assuming that SCO dies [which is not by ANY means certain], it is signifigantly more accurate to say that their legal strategies are more of a dying gasp, instead of saying that their defeat [if they are, in fact, defeated] is a "deathblow".
In short, if SCO dies, it's because no-one bought their shit, not because they lost in court.
No. As I said earlier; this is the exception that proves the rule. The usual rule is that corporations have enough size and resources to withstand legal attacks [merited or otherwise].
The less ethics you have, the larger legal department you have set up.
it isn't that Yahoo is "spamming up", it's that they've made "address blocking" as a part of their pay package. As a result you get more limited address-blocking capability with the free account, and it's easy to have them cycle through.
Also, I've noticed that some persistent spammers just get through, period, even with blocking [with no apprent change in the headers, at least none that are obvious].:-/

And since it has NOTHING to do with the SCO LAWSUIT, it isn't "stuff that matters"!
Neat. But are you really $$$$$exyGal??
Or 100% flamebait; take your pick!
Either Halloween or April First.
Hell, even Thanksgiving, given what turkeys SCO are!
GNU's Not Unix...except on alternate tuesdays.
I think I need an ibuprofen now!
But it would severely hurt the GNU movement. ["it's not unix? Why isn't it unix? Does that mean it isn't free software?"]
I thought that apple paid the Open Group to certify themselves as a Unix, around the time that OS X came out.
What am I missing here?
is still set up with a 'witness signature' line so that teh illiterate filling out the form can get away with a simple 'x'.
What once was a relic from our past is now the wave of the future.

Is that something that can be proven, or is this more troll FUD ala' the fyodor flap?
w00t! I'm sure it will take ages since I'm on dialup, but I'm still excited!

Wish me luck! [booting FreeBSD floppies on vmware has been flaky last few times I've tried it.
Apply a screwdriver to it; reassemble in the proper order.
Um, though that may be a little hard with the program, I'll admit.
Maybe if I apply the screwdriver to the ~~++5#Q%NO CARRIER

If they succeed in turning linux into a zombie, the world will tremble.
That would takemore than alittle doing, I think.
The other half being to include terms which are politically incorrect by ESR's right-wing standards.
So, it's a matter of inclusion, as well as filtering.
Of course, I love the tuxedo.org idea...unless the man who runs tuxedo.org is another gun nut, and they simply fell out over implementation.
It may happen rather soon to SCO.

because usually, the system doesn't work.
So that is why I would care. However, you have a good point about them laying out the $ from the server point of view.
Which Also features end to end encryption
The problem being, of course, FINDING an authoratative earlier version.
As someone pointed out in another post, this presents an undreampt of oppurtunity for revisionists of all stripes.
Dude! Thanks for the new sig! :-D
