as long as linux developers/vendors begin paying the proper licensing fees for all MS "inventions" contained in linux, there will be no reason to litigate.
remember, they're licensors, not litigators...although they do seem to have SCO on retainer for that latter sort of nasty work.
Appears your school is simply preparing you for life-after-school.
Life after school will put you in a position to get many things done, probably things that used to be done by 2, 3 maybe 4 other people, so you will be swamped.
Then your glorious employer will saddle you with a windows box, and likely Lookout! (outlook to some). your work day will then be a struggle to get your work done while you deal with your ability to use the computer hampered by the virus/worm of the day, email that hurts, and the ever-present crap virus scanner that monopolizes the CPU rendering your machine useless for 1-4 minute stretches throughout the day, usually at the time you really need it to be responsive. to put the prvoerbial "icing on the cake", you will be forced to use IE and the loading of alternate software like Mozilla will be banned.
The above reality will provide you with an opportunity to develop advanced skills in profanity.
Nice, our Universities are volunteering to become kiosks for dealing in shitty music.
So I guess the next step is to have class presentations be preceeded by an RIAA commercial?
Maybe a pre-requisite to any degree will be "Music Consumer 101". The class lab fee could be $18.99 and their pick of a CD by any artist the RIAA couldn't dump on Washington State libraries as payment for the price-fixing scam.
my understanding (which for the purpose of this post is derived solely from the spew of Darl McShitbag) is that IP theft is an Open source issue, and the big benefit of proprietary code is that it's all clean.
So I just refuse to believe otherwise. this has to be a hoax. someone contact snopes immediately.
...However, the Java runtime systems commonly available on Linux lack the performance that customers demand, and Java applications do not conform to the Linux GUI look and feel.
The question I ask about the above is what the heck is the "Linux GUI look and feel"
Last time I ran Linux (and the mono screenshots show this) there are mutliple Linux "look and feels". KDE, GNOME, GNUStep, Windowmaker, E, etc are all different to some degree, and some of the differences are major.
Do they mean Java does not conform the look and feel of the Window manager in use at runtime?
I am still waiting for the version that doesn't risk having my computer hijacked, credit card data stolen, my address book copied and blue screens of death as the inevitable conclusion of each computing session.
any word on delivery date of this version of windows??
So this Landsburg has officially now demonstrated he's a moron. luckily I can now ignore anything else this guy writes. so this was a public service message disguised as thought.
When will the RIAA come the realization that most all illegal file sharing is done on WINDOWS boxes by WINDOWS users. They can complain about the different P2P apps ad nauseum, but the common theme is obviously WINDOWS.
they should go after Microsoft for providing the general public with THE MAIN tool used for evil pirating.
And pirated copies of windows? again done on WINDOWS boxes, MS could stop almost all pirating if they would just pull this hacker tool off the shelf.
And PC suppliers should also be held accountable for pre-installing a PIRATE TOOL on every box. those bastards!
My reccollection of the OS/2 HPFS file system from IBM was that in many cases it would purposely fragment to take advantage of the disk spin, thus using fragmentation to increase performance.
Defrag utils for OS/2 had options to only defrag if there were more than 3 extents, to avoid nullifying this effect.
funny, years after the death of OS/2, it still kicks ass on much what we use now.

gee, I thought Sun was about eliminating Linux. guess they've lowered the bar.

If the major labels reduce to 3 from 4, we get a 25% decrease in labels producing krap music, no?
so this must be a good thing, right?
well, at least CD prices can come down, with the 2000 former employees no longer requiring a cut...
Time for SCO to deploy that famous Iraqi spokeperson.
We have destroyed the Chrysler infidels and their heads now adorn pikes along all interstates leading into Utah.

the number one goal for Dell is to not piss off Microsoft.
wonder if the crackers have patience for this. another wait before a whole new offering of potential exploits.
I am sure their patience will eventually be handsomely rewarded.
this simply enables the inevitable multi-billion dollar lawsuit of Sony's left arm...by Sony's right arm.
add Windings, I want my vin to have happy faces.
for lining the bottom of my recycle box
...oh wait, nevermind...
wired is great for collecting those subscription postcards
Mac Addict is fun, Linux Journal was most useful when I ran linux. BSD Magazine is

YAP2P?
hope this doesn't divert quality OSS developers from truly useful products.
ps: does this source code come with the all-important built-in hooks to gator?
Italy makes Pizza too?
of course these geniuses got signed up with Hitler.... oops cheap shot

nothing to read here, move along...
wow, a troll designation for responding to the question in an honest, consise manner.
I demand a recount!
(and I still say the answer is NO)
no

I guess I shouldn't be suprised.
so, are spam emails typed in by 8 years olds working 14 hour days....like the Nike's?
Star Wars has traditionally been a poorly-acted, ultra-cheesy ordeal, why would anyone want to change that?
If there was a well-acted, actor-emoted, plot that captivated version, it would be an orphan.
I say save Star Wars 3 by leaving it to suck to high heaven!
some traditions ARE worth saving!

Gee, no room in the 80% margin to cover the costs incurred establishing those same margins.
life sucks being them
gee, you downloaded what looked like a free version of something that is NEVER free. and from a source like Limewire?
then suprised when your machine gets hosed?
the icon looked real? that's pretty hard to counterfeit, eh?
are there darwin awards for computer users?
