Apple has countersued, asking a judge to declare that the trademark is invalid, because the term Unix has become generic.
And it has. So many companies have been marketing and otherwise throwing around the name "UNIX" for so long now -- what do you think the chances are that The Open Group formally licensed their trademark to each and every one of them?
The timing and selection of this lawsuit reeks of convenience.
Actually, I'm not really sure what a capitla 'Q' looks like. If I had to figure it out, I'd probably go get a cursive font and type 'Q' and see what it did.
It looks, illogically enough, like a '2'.
who cares if kids can't write in cursive?
It's true that, after grade school, students pretty much adopt their own style of handwriting, which tends to be an efficient mix of print and cursive (rather like the "print cursive" mentioned in the article, I imagine, except far more improvised). I say "efficient" because, as experience has shown, neither pure print nor pure cursive is the most efficient way for writing anything longhand. People tend to write quickly; if either print or cursive were the path to rapidity, they'd be commonly used, don't you think? We do our "print cursives" because our brains have told our hands without us realizing it that this is the quickest way of getting stuff written down.
But the reason people can even read each others' impromptu scrawls (doctors excepted) is because all those "print cursives" have their basis in common foundations: regular print and the Palmer Method. We take the gold standards of penmanship and unconsciously adopt them over many years to whatever speed needs arise--but the standards had to be in place first.
Save it for use as a controller for your Gamecube for when Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles comes out. It's rumored to *require* a GBA for every player.
I love Nintendo as much as the next guy, but if that were true I would certainly hope it didn't turn into an industry-wide practice for lots of games. No doubt such games would have their market, but I don't know how long folks would be able to swallow having to buy several very different units before going "Hey!"
Looks like the terrorists won, their goal was to elimate the way of life we had here here, and they sure as hell did.
I work reasonable hours, speak my mind, go out and have fun, and live with the suspicion that our government is involved in things beyond a madman's greatest dreams.
Which is pretty much what I was doing before "terrorism" became a household word.
Slashdot Mirror
When the hell did they reach glory?
Seems to be right around 2000.
David Colburn's stature at AOL grew to such epic proportions that he earned a nickname: God.
Hey. That's reserved for sysadmins.
C'mon, didn't you learn anything from Slashdot's Napster coverage? It was beaten until it was dead, and then beaten some more.
telnet some.insecure.host.org 1234
Crap, how'd they find m--I mean, that poor sucker.
Can your multiple-lines of defense truly protect your network from modern methods of intrusion?
Only if "modern" meant "known." Everything else is fair game.
Won't that be nice? I'll be able to readily tell websites in Burnt Scrotum, NM from those in Navel Lint, IA. I'll never know how I got along before.
a moderately dense article
C'mon, this is Slashdot. "Moderately dense" should be "light reading" for us.
Right?
How vain would you have to be to watch yourself in the mirror while having sex?
I want Mirror Universe TV. A TV that broadcasts 24/7 my life in a mirror universe.
I wonder if I'd have a mustache and goatee and be ruthless...
If it wasn't for a single developer, who had made an unauthorized copy of the project on a floppy,
I ask this question only half-jokingly:
Was s/he fired?

"One billyun chips..."
Mine don't make nearly make that much sense.
God, see what reading that crap has done to me?
"win a Playstation,"
"meet singles online,"
"lose 15 pounds in two days,"
"buy herbal Viagra online,"
Damn, they're that coherent? Mine don't make nearly make that much sense. Why, here's a sampling of subject lines straight from my Hotmail inbox:
"hard vertilde suvereniteetti"
"Att: a gargantuan thing ffx"
"Ssrt life skillss rrewaarrdded - whhy waiit"
"embrafeable stronlhold"
"Kimberly said you"
"bending moment"
"pebble ruimnaalden orrella nnthayer"
"How is it applied?"
"varnish-treated"
I don't know what an embrafeable stronlhold is, but I know I've always wanted one. Varnish-treated.
Any teenagers in that half were so, so lying.

A Red Hat salesman recently told us that the 'consumer' version of Red Hat was mostly for hackers and hobbyists who weren't concerned about stability
I imagine that the very last bit would turn any corporation off Red Hat as a whole for a good long while. Exactly what sort of salesman was this?

...if we had CLI's that worked through handwriting recognition.
I foresee a lot of funny little accidents. "No, no! Don't recompile now!"

Last time I checked, Java and JavaScript were completely different.
You know that, and I know that, but the sorts of people on which one-liners tend to work will either conveniently forget or actually not know that.
if you turn off JavaScript, you turn off the vulnerability.
Man, talk about a one-liner to give the anti-Java folks.
