The article states "SCO spokesman Blake Stowell declined to say how much EV1Servers.net paid but said the arrangement covered the "vast majority" of about 20,000 servers, and therefore got a high-volume discount on the $699 per single-CPU server that SCO asks.", so it is much less than $699 per server
I seem to recall while trying OOo (prior to the 1.0 release) there was a scripting language included, called "StarBasic" I believe. While it could not directly read VBasic code, it seemed easy enough to port the code over. Ive not looked at OOo for a while so it is possible that it has been removed.
I would guess it is a RealNames feature, due to the fact that it opens a frame in the top of the browser with an explanation of how I arrived at the site, a "Keywords by RealNames.com" logo, and a link to buy my own keyword. However it is a bit of a moot point, as you cant buy them anymore.
True, but my point was twofold; 1) The service was not limited to IE 2) I believe the domain owner (in this case slashdot.org) had to pay RealNames to get their keyword listed. If you are willing to pay for an optional service, you must think it is a good deal.
Must have thought it a good idea, as tonight I accessed Slashdot through RealNames, by typing slashdot in the address bar of my freshly installed Konqueror.
It is just a rackable case bolted onto the bottom of a table. If you do it yourself you can save a bundle of cash, and atleast your table will match the rest of your furniture.
I seem to recall reading IBM has sellected RedHat to provide support for all their linux related support contracts. If AOL did buy RedHat, would IBM restart doing their own support, or would they keep things as they are, and hope AOL doesn't mess with RedHat, while at the same time, hoping the corporate buyers do not think AOL is messing with RedHat, after all, would they want support of critical systems from AOL?
On another vein in the same area, while commercial software producers are producing software for OSX, how difficult would it be (how much extra cost involved) to simultaniously make a port for *BSD/linux? Seems to me a slight increase in production cost compared to larger market seems like a good trade off to me
