Abtzppkkkf is a rotten attempt at a fake welsh place name. You should have tried Abbwpwllgelli, or Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantisilio gogogoch, or Bedwelty.
On second thoughts, no one will believe the middle one. Best to stick with Tonypandy.
The press release claimed their was evidence that SCOs IP was in Linux, and even provided a link. But I couldn't find any. Has anyone poked around scosource.com enough to find a deep link to this alleged evidence?
The market stopped being fair once Microsoft got into it. This is Microsofts *punishment*. They should not be allowed to weasel out of it by claiming they'll only give away the hardware if it is accompanied by $big-X (retail) of their own software that actually costs them small-x cents.
My wife is American. She feels that NASA is one of the few things that really make her proud of her country.
I see "Proud to be American" bumper stickers all over the place. Probably because "Proud that my Mom didn't take that vacation in Afghanistan while she was pregnant with me" wouldn't fit the format.
It's difficult to good science in climatology and human medicine. Climatology, because like cosmology, you only get one chance to run the experiment. Medicine, because of the tendency of humans to get better, drop dead or go stark raving mad when given a sugar pill.
People get freaked out about DDT, but not about mercury, which builds up in exactly the same way and is more toxic. GM food gets demonstrations and boycotts, but perfectly natural shit on the perfectly natural meat we eat killed 23 people in the northeastern US last year, and may kill as many as 5,000 Americans annually (hard to say, given peoples ability to drop dead of other causes - see above).
I think most scientists would prefer proof to consensus. However, sometimes a scientist comes across something that is (a) extremely damaging to human health and (b) being aggressively promoted by governments or businesses. Add to that the unwillingness of most media outlets to cover any public health issue that doesn't make children explode (film at eleven), and you get scientists putting an alarmist spin on their results, aka junk science.
... when I worked for a small software house many years ago. We used to strip out all the unnecessary whitespace, and rename all variables to aa0000, aa0001 and so on. If they had to, they could recompile, and even bug fix, but enhancements would be difficult.
Some clients even wanted paper copies, so we printed it all out in 4-pt. To save paper, obviously.
1) Needs to work between MTAs. Your Exchange server might trust the Outlook client, but my exim server doesn't trust your Exchange server. Be prepared to pay again. 2) No-one discovers a mathematical short cut for the hash. 3) What are the calculation costs on the recipient? 4) The Intel "Spammer Edition" Pentium 5 with a half gig of L1 cache. Memory bandwidth is no longer a bottleneck.
What I think Linus should do is immediately notify SCO that they are no longer allowed to use his trademark. It would be quite something to try to claim licence fees on an OS that you can't name.
How about the hundreds of dollars I personally pay each year that pays for the tanks and bulldozers that aren't demolishing the homes of those deemed insufficiently jewish to be citizens of the country in which they live? I'd say that gives me a right to comment.
As far as I can tell, it's still not a crime in the USA to possess someone elses copyrighted materials. Even the RIAA only goes after people who are distributing songs. So while Redhat and Cheapbytes might be in line for a lawsuit, Joe Sysadmin probably isn't.
Anyone want to lend Linus a couple of lawyers so he can sue SCO for tarnishing his trademark? A C&D preventing SCO from mentioning Linux in their press releases might put a hitch in Darls giddyup.

If someone had argued, back in the 1960s, that we would *not* be ruled by AIs in the 1980s because you'd need a computer capable of 4 million instructions per second and small enough to fit on a desk, then they would be guilty of the same fallacious arguing that MarkusQ accuses Smalley of in the grandparent post.
It doesn't mean that Drexler is right. It just means that Smalley needs some better reasons why he's wrong. Either that, or time will tell. And usually, unless the 2nd law of thermodynamics is violated, the person claiming that something is possible turns out to be right.
I think the reasoning "people must be buying stuff from spammers otherwise they'd stop" is faulty.
Spammers sell spam services to marketers. It's very rare that an item will be marketed solely by email. It's even rarer for a marketer clueless enough to be using spam to be clueful enough to actually find out how his customers found out about his product.
Make it per server, per month. Anyone who pays the tax gets added to a published whitelist. Mailserver admins are then free to use current blacklists, use this whitelist, or some other whitelist (for local delivery only - no relaying), and are free to determine if and how they recover the cost of the tax.
The nice thing about a tax is that there are agencies who are very good about knowing where the taxpayers live. So when spam starts coming from a whitelisted server, they know exactly where to go to collect the fine of one cojone per infringing email.
Sure, I'd work for SCO. I'd like to be paid in options to short their stock.
I'd get an option to sell 1,000 shares of stock at todays price of $13.97, which I could exercise in one year when the price is $1.40. Go directly to Step 3: PROFIT!

OK, OK, so I didn't RTFS. However, I *did* RTFA.

Because Microsoft already paid. $6 million IIRC.

Do 3Com still own the USR trademark, or did it go to Palm?
I think A Tale In The Desert has prior art.
Possibly. Long, drawn out, expensive and risky.

Yeah, but you still owe us for the cakes.
You know, the ones that burned because King Alfred had to go and take care of your fleet.
With interest, that should equal the output of most of Denmarks bakeries. And don't go putting any of that Lurpak stuff on them.

In much the same way, I used to refer to Radovan Karadzic as 'Rubber-band Carrot-bitch'.
I was the only person who thought it was funny then, too.

Bentonville is in Arkansas.
Everything else he says is true. The part where you can only work at WalMart HQ if you are married to your cousin is apocryphal.
I think you misheard. RMS told us, the editor includes compilers, sorting and searching utilities, and of course, a chess program.
Does it run ME?
