  1. why telnet? on GameCube-Powered Webserver · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why is there always telnet? Because of the clear text transmitted password?

    Why can't they implement ssh from start up of their project?

  2. be more precise... on Spammer Profile: Scott Richter · · Score: 1

    Why do you call it "the nation's fastest-growing online marketing company"?
    They use spammer tactics, promote spammer products, tell you that their mailings are perfectly legal... So what are they?

    Repeat after me: "THEY ARE SPAMMERS"!

  3. I nominate GROKLAW.NET on Open Source Awards 2004 · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Reason:
    [Groklaw] deals with the SCO case. Her site is an excellent resource for those looking for a well-maintained and comprehensive guide to what's going on day-to-day surrounding the SCO controversy.

  4. Subdivision of SCO? on URLs Patented, Domain Registrars Sued · · Score: 1

    Is this "Nizza Group" a subdevision of the SCO legal department? (SCNR!)

    These @-Domains are nothing new.

  5. Piracy by the record labels? on Record Labels May Have to Pay Double Royalties · · Score: 1
    Is this piracy by the record labels?

    Certainly NOT!

    Remember these are the guys/companies that pay the RIAA to sue that old grandma for trading Eminem mp3s.

    Isn't copying without paying theft?

    The record lables profession is to copy and distribute music. To do their business they commit a crime (theft) on purpose!

    If you copy a song, RIAA want's to sue you for $150.000 and settles for about $7.500 for your entire collection of mp3s.

    Just for the records:
    Copy-protection company Macrovision alone says its double-session technology has been distributed on more than 200 million individual compact discs, for a total of about 2 billion tracks, around the world

    2 billion tracks x $150.000 per track = $300 trillion in damages to the artists and publishers from the record labels

    I think this is this piracy by the record labels. The full severity of their own priracy laws shall hit them!

    Ironically they lobbied for these laws with their own money.

    Dear SCO,

    please talk to my hardware/software vendor. We bought this fancy new server with the latest software included. This is called a bundle. They told me the software was free, so we paid $0.

  10. SCO talks BS and Unix(Be)Ware! on SCO Gives Notice To 6,000 Unix Licensees · · Score: 0, Redundant
    The letter to licensees warns that if they do not provide "a full and complete certification" in 30 days, SCO may examine legal remedies, including termination of the license.

    - How can they terminate my Linux license (GPL)?
    - How about the Samba-Team releases the next version under a "GPL for all - but not SCO"-License?
    Then there is no more windows compatible file server in UnixBeWare!

    That's not a technical but an organizational Problem

    You don't need more technology to read an email from a technician or engineer who warns because of missing or destroyed isolation foam.

    SCO belives that they have such an abstract thing as Intellectual Property of the Linux kernel because they granted some companies (IBM) access to source code...
