I told you so seems the phrase most apropos. The BSD code has made it through the courts as free from Unix copyright, not patents. Apple's vast cash reserves make it a very attractive target for litigation.
I'm watching this thread closely. I don't doubt for a minute that the PR firms that handle tech clients have seeded/. with paid posters. Segway is backed by famously deep pockets and would be a likely customer for a/. turfing.
Thus far, all the highly modded posts are quite rightly pointing out the existing laws and science of bicycle transportation. Let's see what the latter posts look like now that that the employees of Kamen's PR company are likely to be working late tonight.
This is a good place to start if you're looking for real studies of transportation safety.
The K7S5A is a basket case in Linux. Lots of problems with DMA on the IDE controller that lkml still hasn't figured out yet.

Ximian Connector Server or Client Side?

Evolution 1.0 Released

The description of this Connector makes it look like it might live on the server side.
Does exchange itself have a plugin architecture? When I used to be responsible for the care and feeding of Outlook clients the saddest thing was watching the parasitic developers that developed Outlook add-ons try to keep up with changes in Outlook. These, mind you, were Microsoft's friends, at least for as long as it takes for Microsoft to implement all the extra features of fax clients and remote access accelerators into Outlook proper. If Ximian intends to keep up with Microsoft on Microsoft's OS and groupware server, I'd reckon they're in for a wild ride.
Perhaps this connector will be a middleware Linux server translating between the Evo clients and the Exchange server. OK, now you're only trying to keep up with Exchange. Just remember to add the cost of a reasonably powered Linux box to the equation. Since this connector is proprietary, be prepared to get stuck with binaries that may not work with subsequent releases of the distro(s) they support. How happy would you be to admin a Redhat 5 box right now?
If this thing is client side, then it is surely an abomination.
"Things in the real world cost real money, son." Blah-blah-blah, this Ximian-Connector business still smells like bait-and-switch.
I hear chants of "It's not done 'til Lotus don't run" echoing in the distance.
I've been of the opinion all along that the low-power mobile application of Crusoe is something of a ruse. I'm betting that when Itanium ships that Transmeta will jack up the power and release a like-speed or faster Itanium-compatible chip. You heard it here, first.
I managed to split a processor in half messing with a compaq 486 lacking proper indication of chip corner alignment. Sloppiness is okay when the subject is a dumpster-dive-recovery.

This is going to change the whole world for the several hundred people that have modded the old hardware revision Xboxes.

If SCO were looking for deep pockets, wouldn't Apple be the biggest and most obvious UNIX-using target?

If you had invested over 200 million dollars in a software product
I would have no beef with this if were they calling Quicktime anything other than a cross-platform standard. Fake standards chap my ass.
apple exercised their right in the contract between
them and the codec developer to block it.
Same old Apple, the only computer company more ethically twisted than Microsoft.

Steve Jobs and the NeXT Big Thing is an awesome, though out of print tome that will curl your hair.
Steve Jobs is no more your friend than Steve Ballmer.
