We turned off the M6 on to the M5, heading south towards Bristol. My wife asked me if I'd like to stop at the next services. I replied, "Frankley, my dear, I don't give a damn."
A rather weak pun, and hopelessly offtopic, I know - but I've got points to burn.;-)
Is that they're no longer selling Linux because they believe that the Linux (that they sell) is infringing on other Unix IP (that they own).
No, what they're saying is that they're no longer selling Linux because with it they give royalty-free license to use, distribute, etc. their alleged IP (see GPL).
It's what X is designed to do, right out of the box - provided that your graphics card (and its driver) can configure the 2nd output as a separate display (nvidia can). Just read your XF86Config file one day and see! The only "problem" you might have is allocating the sound channel(s).
BTW did you know that you can also run multiple virtual X sessions (similar to the virtual terminals but graphical) on the same display/keyboard/mouse? I have 2 sessions running on my machine at home.
In Germany, it's not an infringement of copyright to make, or have made for you copies of works that have been out of print for 2 years or more.
(If I understand the law correctly -IANAG:-)
In the UK, software copyrights only last for 25 years, so for the spectrum you don't have much longer to wait.

The engineer, the physicist and the mathematician were travelling by train to Edinburgh. Just as they cross the border, they look out of window and see a black sheep in a field.
"Look", says the engineer, "the sheep in Scotland are black!"
"No, no, no," says the physicist, "some of the sheep in Scotland are black"
"I'm afraid both of you have jumped to the wrong conclusions." says the mathematician. "There exists at least one sheep in Scotland, at least one side of which is black."
Not quite - because the "side" (in everyday
English) actually refers to the edge of the
strip. The Moebius strip has only one edge
(count it), so the unfortunate chicken finds
that having walked all the way across the
strip, it is still on the same edge.
And on the subject of doorknobs - anyone who has ever tried to open a door with both arms full of sleeping toddler, or who has arthritis and cannot grip very well, will tell you all about the usability of the doorknobs that Mr. Norman seems to advocate over the
"british" door handle that he always seems to catch his sleeves on.

Real people can always use .tar.Z or .tar.gz or .tar.bz2

If it's humming, that's because it doesn't know the words.
Try whistling The Star Spangled Banner instead - that'll fool 'em.

If enough people do it often enough, eventually enough Xboxes will be banned that MS will have to get rid of the blacklist.
Then read to them! My children have always enjoyed listening to stories, especially A.A. Milne's.
And the paper editions don't have any pesky DRM to stop you from reading them aloud ;-)
I have to say my Eeyore voice sounds a little like Marvin (the paranoid android).

I also see a business model (hurries off to US patent office).
