I recall the content changed in the Netscape/Mozilla switchover. This is to what I was referring.
Two other things: [1] Lose the jadedness. It's passe. [2] By using leetspeak in a posting, you've killed 10^7 braincells uselessly. Same for Prince hashes, cryptic ebonics, etc. It's a stupid way to show how cool you are.
The Cringe (Bob X. Cringely) contested this with a simple argument in his column a while ago. Because Sequent documented the technology they developed in a generic way, not in terms of their specific implementation within Dynix (read the RCU paper here, for instance), it was possible to write a cleanroom implementation for almost any OS (even non-quasi-Unices).
The fact that it was partly written by the same talent in both Dynix and Linux is irrelevent, as the cat was already out of the bag.
As far as JFS is concerned, SCO can pound sand. The JFS patch for Linux wasn't even based on AIX code - it came from OS/2.
extension called randr that allows changing resolution and vertical refresh on the fly
I use experimental X4.3 under Debian. While randr is cool, it does not address the problem related by the parent^2 poster.
You can't easily alter monitor specs on the fly using randr. If the config program lowballs the monitor's abilities, you have to manually repair the XF86Config-4 file, or dpkg-reconfigure, or whatever you use to gen the config.
Granted, elitism sucks. However: 1) Some people just object to typing. I don't understand this. Typing is an efficient way to interface. 2) e.g. Debian docs are usually provided on CD. No network involved (Slakware too). 3) Linux is better because we have superior choices for many pieces of software. FYI, both Xine or MPlayer support more formats of video than any Windows-only player I can think of (of course, MPlayer works on Windows, too). 4) Outlook Express has big holes in it _today_. Still. My BulkBox has the worms to prove it.
Don't misrepresent facts just 'cuz you're in a shitty mood. And if you present your problems to mailing lists, etc. so tactfully it's no wonder they tell you to pound sand.
Isn't the discovery process significantly truncated in small claims court? If so, prosecuting them in small claims would force SCO to reveal their information immediately so that we could dispel their insidious schemes.
How about this: take them to small claims for Bash, or something, then lay the smack down over the Linux Kernel, GCC, etc.
I don't think it's a good idea for Debian to totally divest itself of non-free software. The fact remains that non-free software is useful for large numbers of people. It would irritate them if they were too greatly inconvenienced.
I am not, however, disagreeing with this post. I think it would be beneficial for Debian to concentrate exclusively on a core composed of free software. I'm simply stating that any offshoot of Debian dealing with non-free software must cooperate closely with the core project to be successfull, and vice versa.
Here's another thought, and it's essentially costless: lobby upstream developers whose software is non-free to relicense DFSG compliant. The worst they can say is no.
This is only useful if (for some idiotic reason) the NIC manufacturer did not decide to release specs. In that case, though, it might be more appropriate to boycott the luddite.
Even VAX->Alpha was not binary compatible. All applications which have to run on VMS/IA64 will have to be recompiled. See here for more. The question is, who's gonna want to take the trouble to switch.
I think HP has built a product without a market. Swell.
One major feature of the AlphaServer line will live on: the OpenVMS operating system. That software, born more than 25 years ago as VMS (Virtual Memory System), is being moved to the Itanium processor.
But who cares? Maybe only legacy users. Without binary compatibility, how many people are going to buy in again.
It's called shorting a stock. Read this to find out more.
Unfortunately, shorting requires that someone loan you the stock in the first place (on the assumption that it will increase in value). Unfortunately, noone seems to be doing so.
We did this sort of thing in high school physics. We found Lysol spray worked quite satisfactory - much better than hairspray. We'd throw a screw or a nut into the breach and set off the propellant with a small Tesla coil. Great fun.

Said Little Red Riding Hood to the Big Bad Wolf, "Why Darl, what delightful company you keep."
Known about that since about
Is prophecy always written in xhtml?
Pay kabong and buy one. Or live with FORTRAN 77. Or use F. I think Intel might even have freebies if your educational.
There's lots of choices.
Kennedy said this at the beginning of his term, before the states had lofted their first astronaut.
It wasn't posturing, it was cracking the whip.
Yes and no. WatFor77 was/is indeed very good, but it's a little dated.
The future is G95.

This is just dry humour, right?
If you tell me it is, you will restore some of my confidence in humanity.
Thank you.

They're probably pushing for people to use VB.
From crap to crap... lateral shift.
Spoofed x-mailer lines from spam SMTP trojans prove nothing.
I was referring to worms which vector by insecure embedable scripting and binary autoexecution - both appear to still be problems in Outlook.
Sorry if I wasn't more clear on that.

Anybody using it?
Would be helpful, as others have noticed.
Here's a related article that gives a little more information while we wait.
This is only useful if (for some idiotic reason) the NIC manufacturer did not decide to release specs. In that case, though, it might be more appropriate to boycott the luddite.
Scored close to 30% on Linux Concerns.
How much is due to SCO? How does this fit with existing countersuits by RH et al?

Nor is intimidating people to make them pay.
