People are being pissy, because MS is trying to tell us what client we have to use. Tbis doesn't quite fit in with what has been the spirit of all things internet. I'm sure you'd get pissy if IIS web servers stopped accepting conncetions from all browsers except for the current IE release.
Actually, the courts would probably deny the preliminary injunction on the grounds that any harm that is proven can be remedied by imposing a license fee. This is what happened in the recent Microsoft browser case.
SCO would only be entitled to a preliminary injuction if they could show irreperable harm that would continue if an injuction weren't issued. Bascialy irreperable harm is something that can't be fixed by money.
Or the reverse.... I recently noticed a grounding problem on some outlets. I followed the wiring back to a little 4 breaker box. When I opened this up I found that the grounds from the circuits wired to that box had been connected together, but weren't connected to the building ground and the metal breaker box was ungrounded too. All of this was right next to the little sticker signed by the electrician (yes a real professional one) who installed it.
I'm past giving a damn what anybody in the industry thinks about anything. While artists / labels etc.. continue to work with the RIAA members I will not be buying their product.
I'm not really into downloading music, but the stand the RIAA has taken along with their "We don't really care what our customers think" attitude really p**sed me off. If they don't care what I think then I don't care to buy their product.
I'll listen to the radio until they find a way to shut that down too (or make people pay to listen).
I think given Microsoft's position on Linux that they shoud / would have researched the market to see if the service could be provided by a windows shop before signing a deal with akamai. It looks bad... almost like saying windows isn't up to the task.
Yes but by doing so they're protecting their Windows box from attack by putting it behind a linux proxy. I doubt microsoft had a problem with bandwidth.
It's interesting that the announcement came right after (like 3 minutes) a very steep decline in the stock price which had been gradually declining all day.
I'm not sure model rockets were taken off the shelves for being dangerous... rather than just lack of sales. Kids just want to play nintendo these days instead of getting out and flying rockets. Toys-r-us & Wal-mart still carry model rocket motors and smaller rockets.
Check out my rocket page for some examples of current model rockets.
Did nobody tell the power companies that power lines are like a really big antenna (not well tuned mind) and that sending data at radio frequencies was going to cause interference with radio. Can't figure out why nobody saw that coming.
The reality is, that SCO knows they're screwed but they can't back down without exposing themselves to liability for securities fraud and other problems with bringing bogus lawsuits to inflate your stock price. Every time they hold a press confrence or pass out a new release their claims get more and more ridiculous.
It also possible for the judge to reject the plea agreement where he doesn't believe the defendent is guilty. People are often questioned about judges in some detail to make sure they know the detail of the crime they are pleading guilty to.
hmmm... I was actually talking about the fly-by-wire control system. Boeing spent a lot of time defending the decision in the computer press at the time the 777 was being developed.
Boeing decided to cut corners on the 777 and actually loaded the same code on all three systems. In the words of a boeing engineer i knew : "At least when it crashes all three systems will agree on it"
This is why, even though OJ was found not guilty in a criminal trial, the exact same evidence was enough to sink him in a civil trial.
Actually one of the main reasons different outcomes was that the civil judge basically blocked most of the defense case from being heard (ie their allegation of a conspiracy to frame OJ). While the criminal court allowed that line of argument.

Actually you're not required to upgrade but you are required to pay for the upgrade :-)
I think this refers to "Unix timesharing system 7th edition" from 1979.

Didn't you read the slashdot story about the courts blocking the copyrighting of laws. Once a law is adopted it is in the public domain.
You're right ... I think that may be their strategy :-)

In summary: you blew your wad a little early trying to bash MS. Whoops!
Not really

Yes but isn't the point that microsoft has chosen to protect it's windows server by putting it behind a load balancer running Linux ?
Apparently the power company didn't pay for it's SCO licenses :-)

Already got one thanks ... takes real quarters and everything :-)

GWB's fall looked exactly like the safety video demonstration of what happens if you try to ride a segway without turning it on first.

But PDA syncing at 20kb/s wouldn't be bad if it could do it automatically & continuously when you are in range of the wireless network.
Does anybody out there still believe that Gartner isn't a front for Microsoft ?
Their credibility ran out a long time ago as far as I'm concerned.
