Why isnt the trend in cyber law to simply apply 'real world' law to cyberspace?
I mean, if i buy a hammer i can use it to break windows or heads or babies backbones (humour noir), nevertheless it is not illegal to own, buy, invent, sell or use a hammer in any legal way.
Why is it that in the internet it has been so hard to grasp for lawyers, judges and (worst of the cesspool) lawmakers that software gadgets need not be different at all from hardware gadgets.
Compare hammer to a portscanner or an active hacking tool (an exploit)... it has legitimate uses, sucha as testing my own network, even testing someone else network may be fair use in some cases (if im checking to see if a peer has been hacked to determine if they are foe or just a hacked victim that needs a phone call to let them know).
I mean, just to finish the argument. People in the US can buy an m16 over the counter at wallmart for christ sakes....and lawmakers want to make a different set of law for cyberspace (DMCA for example)?
Why? Why is the current state of afairs not inconstitutional by US law?
I don't see any concrete proof that Sun is *indeed* behind the fiaSCO. You don't go about making false/unfounded accusations against people, just because you read it on Slashdot.
Go check at the SEC filing from SCO. Licencing rev. for them begining 2003 came from SUN.
And the makers had no way to use an algorithm that didnt NEED such obscurity (i can name three better, not-too-strong, security algorithms that wouldnt need obscuring at all)?
I mean, thats exactly why they were, and still are, PLAIN STUPID.
Not true. It does. It already compiles and executes from/to windows apps and if the Forms implementation is finished, then visual apps willw work as well.
Im so fucking tired. I guess he who maketh has the right to breaketh (or whatever).
In 10 years ill be reading an encyclopedia: "IT thrived in Occident, both in America and Europe and all of what was called the free world.
Then, of course, the tip of this technologicall community, the United States of America, opened up the doors to patent software technology. It was that day that we know of as `The day occident died`.
The end result was that free market was overtaken by large corporations, eventually choking and taking occident back about 50 years (europe followed suit in this software patent idea).
The great government of China saw it comming miles away and they actually appointed that all software inventions are owned by the people, thus non-patentable in nature.
This made a large healthy market of small software makers in all of Asia that were required to code to publicly available standards..."
I dont know. I just blurted this out really fast, im not a communist, but come on, even china looks more free than america, at least potentialy, when you look at who owns most patents.
In what fucking language do you think an OS is written in?
Sco Unix is DDOS protected?

According to the 5 reasons to choose Sco Unix over Linux, the fifth, labeled security, includes:
SCO UNIX(R) has all of the security features of the higher priced UNIX(R) solutions but at a fraction of the cost. These security features guard against business interruption, denial of service attacks and protect against identity or corporate information theft.

About diebold boxes would surprise me.... i mean, who thought anything better of them anyhow?
Those evil right-wing republicans trying to censor the Internet! How terrible!

Not all
..was engeneered by mankind to reduce the full impact and consecuence of the finding of Adam.
In order to create the Evas, humanity had to reduce Adam to an embrionic state. This was the second impact....
You insensitive CLOD!
A microsoft ally that will let sco win in exchange of a microsoft buyout for their investors.
WANNA BET?
Oh! yeah, you mean that postgres clone... shure!... who cares anyhow?
...
You insensitive clod!
Why is this MF posting this to slashdot ???
/me pulls his hairs of his head.
This is a cool site full of COOL people GEEKS you see GEEKS!
Argh Argh You NoMind goatse.cx sucking MF!
He...hehe... hehehe..
Ms sucks duh!
I guess it is.... those terms are pretty much a rewording of the GPL, but instead of being for the public, it can be between just you and microsoft.
This product is not to be confused with newly renamed Firefox web browser, which was also called Firebird for some time...
Again
Um...yeah
Competition police seems to be a strong weapon against SCO-like action. ... IN countries that have applicable laws
I rest my case

So should the world judge all proprietary software vendors by SCOs activities
Only those who give sco money, how is that for a position....
Now THATS an oxymoron...
Its the only language that ive had trouble getting
cout "Hello World!";
(or equivalent)
to compile.
Okay... this, is an 'OLD' BSD style licence clause. It conflicts with the GPL and thus, people wanting to put GPL software in XFree86 wont be able to.
Thats the big deal.
I, for one, dont give a fuck.
MS disclosed their code on purpose so more EYES could help the CLEAN their code.
It seems this eyes and public sharing do a better job than their THOUSENDS of beta testing professionals.
... Came out as the looser right?
And the makers had no way to use an algorithm that didnt NEED such obscurity (i can name three better, not-too-strong, security algorithms that wouldnt need obscuring at all)?

Yes, and obviously, thease machines/os's have been hugely successfull.
Showing poor QC to a multi-million dollar client - bad
Save As PDF
Need edition on the client side?
Save as HTML (it does convert most stuff to nice CSS and all).
I dont get it.... way off as in doesnt work?
Not true. It does. It already compiles and executes from/to windows apps and if the Forms implementation is finished, then visual apps willw work as well.
My fucking compilers primer in school is prior art if it had tags and multilanguages in it.
GImme a break. I wanna kill some lawyers
....Nowdays anyhow....
