No, the laws are not the same. Here, in US, we have 35 year old "college students" with student visas who "supplement" their income by working 9 to 5. (they attend classes at night) And don't get me started with H-1B and L-1 loopholes. L-1 is far worse because companies don't even have to pay $1,000 to train American workers when companies "transfer" their workers from India, China, etc. http://www.h1b.info/
I had two teachers in the last 6 months at my college who had the credentials and were supposed to be "experts in their field" Well, these two fucks didn't know anything and just read from the book to us. They had NO teaching skills and had horrible accents. An English teacher could have done better teaching these tech classes.
I did well in class but not because of the lectures.
As far as the guy who blew his brains out is concerned...he should have done us a favor and taken his replacement and managment who approved it with him. His replacement is probably still working, laughing his ass off because some poor schmuck didn't have the balls to stand up for his rights.
If I was that programmer at SGI, I would definitely sue for slander/libel. It makes him/her look like they went and did it behind SGI's back. When in fact SGI had a press release and a post on their front page saying that the journaling file system was now available to Linux users. I don't see how one man or woman could have published the code, wrote a press release and updated the SGI's front page without anyone else in the company knowing about it. And like many other have said, the copyright didn't need to be removed because it wasn't originally there and it was SGI's product to give away, not SCO's. [below is relevant info from the "open" letter] "the fact that a Linux developer on the payroll of Silicon Graphics stripped copyright attributions from copyrighted System V code that was licensed to Silicon Graphics under strict conditions of use, and then contributed that source code to Linux as though it was clean code owned and controlled by SGI. This is a clear violation of SGI's contract and copyright obligations to SCO. We are currently working to try and resolve these issues with SGI"
Hehe, implied but not stated:) I read the lawsuit/complaint and they only mentioned per performance part. I guess when you hold a concert at Giants stadium, you actually perform 10,000 times. Or at least that's what RIAA chooses to believe.
Does this per performance rule apply to normal broadcasters? How do they know how many people actually listen?
Outlook 2000/2002 is excellent, even though it does crash once in a while. My biggest gripe with it is that it doesn't explain to the end user what exactly a Personal Folder is and why keeping it on a laptop's hard drive is very bad. Most of our laptop users don't do backups and we had a guy almost in tears because his ibm stinkpad HD failed due to "sticktion" and he came close to loosing 2 years of work. Just because you can organize and keep all your files inside Outlook, it doesn't mean you should. Use a normal file server, that gets backed-up nightly, to store your files and tell your users to do the same.
Also, watch those suckers blow once they reach that magical 2GB limit! You'll need to run a repair program just to get back your data. Bill Gates strikes again! (Bill once pondered -who's gonna need more than 640kb of ram?:) 20 years later - who's gonna have a PST (Personal Folder) file bigger than 2GB? Oops!)
Nowhere does it mention PER CONNECTION charge. Even the complaint says that it's per PERFORMANCE. (at least in Yahoo's case) I don't see how multicasting is considered a point to point connection. Maybe in RIAA's eyes? Assuming it's per peformance, and assuming the cost is 7 cents per song, those 480 songs per day will only cost you $33.60 dollars. Now if you were running a real internet-based radio station, you wouldn't have any problems selling ads to cover these fees. Your bandwidth will cost you WAY more than that. Unless you are stealing that too, like the songs you downloaded from Kazaa and now are playing on the net w/o paying any royalties to anyone.
I do agree that RIAA is evil. I think artists should band together and come up with a better solution for collecting and distributing fees from broadcasters.
Doesn't anyone proofread legal documents anymore? Or is that "prohibitively" too expensive as well? I am referring to line 4 on page 3 of the complaint PDF file.
I would GLADLY pay 7/10000 dollars for the right to broadcast a song. That's 0.07 cents per song! Obviosly they made a mistake.
I am moving my virtual corporation's virtual HQ VLAN infrastructure to Delaware. Also, I am changing all my VLAN labels to VRAN - virtual "remote area" network. Because remote sounds like the opposite of local, and thus, should not be taxed. Perphaps I will even TM it and make some $ in the process.

Merrill Lynch and other stupid companies, that's who! (leases lans) They buy VERY expensive Cisco routers and switches, give or sell them to another company and lease the same equipment they have already purchased. Double tax benefit and pumping of stock prices. AND top of that they have per port "monitoring" fees of something like $30 a month. So not only are they leasing equipment that they have already purchased, they are also paying someone else to tell them that all ports on the switch are enabled as if this couldn't be determined by looking at the console.
Obviously MS is run by its Marketing (MSM) department - how else can you explain the fact that their GUI looks like a PowerPoint presentation and the kernel looks neglected; well, more like a rotten apple infested with "bugs" and "worms"
In the perfect world, Windows GUI would run on top of Linux's kernel and services, all the hardware would be made by Apple.

hehe, no wonder I didn't find it 6 pages of junk. Before they used to have problems with Nitrogen tinting artificial diamonds. I guess they are doing color stones now because there are way to many clear or almost clear diamonds available and they couldn't possibly compete with DeBeers, as far as volume and $ needed to mine/make them. Another article said that someone paid almost a million for a red/pink natural diamond. If they can sell red diamonds for $7k per carat, they will definitely have tons of buyers.
Personally, I would rather buy a grown/cultered diamond than a rock mined by children in Africa and cut by slave labor in India.

The heart of Netware is NDS, Novell directory Services, and it's not really important what operating system or kernel it runs on. You can run NDS on NT (not really logical, since you've already shelled out all that money) or Linux. When NDS 1st came out, it was light years ahead of what Microsoft had to offer. However, Netware, the OS, was not the friendliest environment to work in and the number of people who know it in and out is dwinding. BUT there's an army of people who know Linux and are willing to help you for free or a fee. A Microsoft network admin is not going to rip out his "investment" in NT/2000 and replace it with something unfamiliar. However, a unix/linux admin may consider doing so if it's offered on a platform that he or she is familiar with - Linux os, x-windows GUI and flawless integration with the rest of his unix and Linux enviroment. Obviously Windows desktops will be able to authenticate into NDS and use resoruces on Linux boxes...AND maybe some day in the future the admin will be able to get rid of the Windows 2000 Professional/XP desktop and replace it with...you guessed it, Ximian desktop + easy software distribution and management.
If I was a Network Manager at a small, 50-500 person company, I would definitely consider ripping out NT and replacing it Novell's offerings some time down the road.
$300 - to $350 per month (in NJ) with Horizon, some rediculous deductible - like $5,000 or $10,000. Of course, you can get a discount if you pull enough people together from the same consulting company or just people who are in the same line of work.
Workers' compensation insurance - $500 per year - put your wife/husband on it if they don't work - it's only +$50 more or so. If you do something that's more danagerous than sitting on your ass all day, then it's more.
It's really cool and broadcasts a LOT farther than it says in the manual - it supposed to only broadcast within 10 feet but when we went camping, it was transmitting w/o any problems up to 60 feet.

In Soviet Russia the state sells fruits and vegetables back to you...you have to grow them in your own garden and deliver them to the warehouse, of course:)
I guess this is what BillyGoat would love to do - have "citizens" write the code, test it, improve it and have it taken away from them to be sold as state-approved (Microsoft Empire Socialist State, aka MESS) version at a reasonable price of 10 years' worth of savings OR one year working as a Microsoft serf, w/o pay or benefits.
[oh, the story about Russia is actually true - they "gave" citizens of Soviet Russia the land (which people owned until the revolution of 1917) and let them cultivate it, raise cattle and have small businesses. Then Stalin came along, took the land back, put everyone into collective farms and sent Kulaks and "enemies of the state" to gulags and various labor camps. By the time he was finished, 20 million of them died. A Kulak is basically anyone who has/owns more than the stupidest, laziest village peasant - almost everyone.
I was wondering how he was able to afford it - Red Bull $ponsored him. also, Skynews had the correct time for his flight 6 minutes instead of 14 - makes sense - and makes his average speed about 150mph.

He would have looked rediculous, like those (front wheel drive) hondas with big spoiler/wing on the back and a pepsi can for a muffler.
Why on earth would you trust someone's opinion on what she or he thinks you are going to be in life when THEY have no real-world experience or know anything about REAL jobs.

If I took it, I would prob fall somewhere between a CIA sniper and that kid in Heathers who almost blows up the school:)

I don't think HAVI is going anywhere.

If SONY doesn't support the "standard", I am not buying it.

To understand why someone would want the ENTIRE password list for all users you would look at the whole picture and know a little about nt security/event monitoring and the rest of BackOffice products that MS sells.
Having Administrator's password for the entire domain or forest is simply not enough. Most of the Administrator account won't have rights to other important things that a hacker-thief would be interested in. Microsoft Exchange, their e-mail server product, usually is set-up with a "service account" that is different from Administrator. This service account is equivalent to having root in unix or Administrator in NT but has rights to Inboxes of all users on that server and most of the time rights to other e-mail servers in the site. If you access someone's e-mail account, like CEO's mailbox, with that service account and its cracked password, event monitor will make a note in Security Log and alert the e-mail admin. (most exchange admins are not too lazy to look at logs once in a while and notice red flags) However, most admins will
not notice if you login into CEO's mailbox and WITH his or her ID and password.
Good admins who are not overworked look at physical location (pc name) of the logins as well. So if he knows that CEO resides in NY, there should be no log-ons with his ID from their SF office and definitely no logons from the warehouse in TX...
4GB is not much for a full dictionary. You could get one of those portable usb drives with 20GB or more of storage on them. 4GB ram is another story. You would need a workstation or server that could take that much.
Finally, leaving backup tapes sitting around is a bad idea. If a criminal got his hands on one of those, would it really matter if it took him an hour or 24 hours to get all the passwords?
"What did SCO announce on January 22, 2003?...intellectual property that we sell. Many Linux environments have been using SCO's UNIX shared libraries because they are a superior product and they make these environments more productive. But until today, there were two ways for users to get the shared libraries:
1. Buy a SCO UNIX or Linux product that included the shared libraries as part of the bundled offering. This is legal. 2. Copy the shared libraries from a disk or through the Internet. In this case someone has unbundled the shared libraries from the SCO offering and opened them up for copying. This is illegal. It is this behavior that we will stop through the creation of SCOsource and today's announcement. SCO's UNIX shared libraries are not open source code available for free use. "
Am I an idiot or are THEY trying to technobabble their way into court and pull wool over everyone's eyes? (the jury) As far as I know Linux is just a kernel and NOTHING more. You can install additional software on top of it, and even create a distribution. Few lines before they start threating everyone, they say they "gave" their shared libraries (for $150 per cpu) and now they claim people stole them. Personally, I have never seen nor used their libraries so I don't see how this or any of their BS applies to me or 99.99% of other linux + GPL software users out there.
