Right, but in this case, the holder of this patent has absolutely no motivation to go after the users of competing products or the authors of competing products - smacking microsoft gives him far more reward financially than he could ever get from all the others combined.. and he has no product or affiliation with someone who has a product.. that competes with anything else out there.
can't people just believe that he wanted to lay the smackdown on Microsoft?
Unfortunatly, the biggest problem with St. Anger was not the piss poor production job and things like that.. it was the fact that the songs were NOT a lot more of the same. The songs are very disjointed bits and pieces.. for example, the song St. Anger itself, sounds like they took all the not-so-good parts of 6 different songs that were written independently of each other, and smashed them all together into some very awful sounding garbage heap.
If they'd managed to STAY in the same area for even part of a song, maybe St. Anger wouldn't be a steaming pile of poo. Maybe Robert Trujillo will have a huge influence. Maybe Metallica will play like Infectious Grooves. lol.
The fact that SGI has replaced the three code fragments in question does not satisfy SCO, according to Blake Stowell, a SCO spokesman. "These releases have already taken place in Linux," he said. "You still have all these machines out there that haven't applied patches that are still benefitting from this Unix System V code."
I can't believe that anyone would think that ANY modern system would actually benefit from Unix System V code. Virtually everything can be done better, faster, cheaper, smaller, etc now than in the days that System V was written.
I wonder if SCO has a "printk" function. Maybe that's where all this crap comes up. doh.
RadioShack sells a Cell phone adapter that plugs into car accessory outlets/cig lighter outlets, airline power connections, and USB ports. Pretty cool product.
I sure couldn't find any way to dupe things. The initial code base had a way to dupe things, from linkdead restoral, but the serial number for the objects solved that initially, and then i solved the entire problem by changing the linkdead code to replace the connection to the original object.. shrug.
I had a system on the MUD that I had created, whereby every object had a serial number, and if any two objects with the same serial number ever existed at the same time, they were both (or all if there were multiples found) destroyed, and that was it.
As far as for numeric issues, like coins, which were not really an object, just a number to keep track of, there was a "money daemon" object, which kept track of how much money was in the world (there was a set limit) and all requests by the game program to add money to the players money totals had to go through this program. Now, when you picked up money, that was an object, until you picked it up, and it was converted to a number, and added to your money total. So, if you somehow managed to clone/dupe the money object, while it was on the ground or in a MOBs possession, it would have the same serial number as the original, and both sets would be destroyed.
What do you mean "original" Genocide? It's the same Genocide that was at pip.shsu.edu.. of course, it's gone through a LOT of changes in the last 12 or so years that it's been around...
hmm. checked it last night, and it was still the same big ass pile o' crap client that they've had on there for years. and it wouldn't login either. maybe they updated the auth code today? dunno.
with luck they've done some actual development, rather than just tweaking the auth code, so that it's not a big pile o' pooh.
Sure have tried installing OS/2 on clone hardware. I used OS/2 Warp 3 and 4 to determine what hardware was IN a box, since I had never once had it fail in it's detection. Of course, I can't even install it on any of my current machines because the software is now so out of date..
but, back in '95-'98, it was a LOT better than anything else that I'd found for hardware support.
The 618x never passed QC for Verizon, and Sprint's QC dept at the time blew ass, so that particular model of phone (618x) was a pile of poo in CDMA modes.
Nokia makes awesome phones. Just the early CDMA models (since they refuse to license Qualcomm's CDMA chipset) really blew ass.
Aside from using functions that are designed for entering personal information (like MS Wallet) to auto-fill forms, one could reasonably expect that the author of the server-side code would be able to easily implement a change to have it pre-fill the form's date field...
At least, that's a thought for right now to deal with it.
So, Linux, which was created in 1990, or thereabouts, will be public domain in 2090, or thereabouts?
Wrong.
The Dewey Decimal System is still maintained, and updated. 130 years later. And if Linux is still maintained and updated, 130 years from now, it will still not be public domain.
I wonder if I could include the coney island over by where I work, where every time I eat their chili, within 30-40 minutes, it comes out my ass at a very high rate of speed, looking just like it did when i ate it.
What did all these URL tricks do, before? They sure don't seem to be doing anything useful in any way now.. or amusing.. or not amusing.. for that matter, they aren't doing anything.
Also, I'm not able to resolve DNS names that didn't exist.. like lickmynads.com.. still get no response,a nd the lame browser at work forces an MSN search on it.
What i think is the most colossal(sp) waste is the gigantic 21 inch monitors that they have about 30 of over at the doctor's office in the strip mall where I work.
Most of them run a 640x480 display (on a 21" monitor, that means you can read it comfortably across the room, even though their chairs are right in front of the damn monitors)... running OS/2. A few run Windows 98 at 800x600. I talked to a few people, they say they prefer the ones with the lower resolution, because they "don't ever have to restart them".. the only programs that either one of them run are VT102 emulators.
If Windows can crash while running a shitty VT102 emulation.. what's that say?
ugh

You have a point here - but how much money is one going to make by going after the authors of Free Software?
What's the point of spending the money to sue someone who doesn't have any large reserves?
Especially after you've already beaten Microstuff.

Good Lord, that's Elvis' Answering Machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE KING IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!
HAIL TO THE KING, BABY!
This is not a lame post, so stop it, Slashdot. Grr. I can't contain my excitement that Elvis is really still among us.
i saw this like a week ago on bluesnews... come on slashdot.
LOL .. that's pretty amusing. Although not nearly as fun as the USB vibrator someone else was showing off in this post!
:D
We don't have those at US stores. yay.

It's too bad those Unix clients haven't been updated in 3 years.
Is definitely the most innovative case design I have seen in "awhil" also.
I don't think I've ever seen an "awhil" for that matter.
All player killing, all the time.
