Cyclades makes a bunch of serial terminal servers (http://www.cyclades.com/products/3/alterpath_acs/ specifications). There was an article about this within Linux Journal last year I believe (2004).
The scoop on who at the company is selling their stock can be found here in SCO's SEC filings.
It appears that some of the chief people in charge are dumping thousands of shares of stock.
Having more than one unices requires the sysadmin to keep dependencies and software packages up-to-date on different platforms. This can get quite difficult if one has to actually find the right package to install for a particular OS.
The Gentoo Linux OS would make some maintence things easier, and dependency/package management may be easier... how much easier, I don't know.
Perhaps it took them four years, but most free software does take a long time to develop. Microsoft has been working on their browser for years also. There is no comparison.
Turn-around time for security patches are fast. It does take microsoft a bit of time to create their patches.
"Beyond its skins and pop-up-killing abilities, however, Mozilla 1.0 doesn't do much more for the average Web surfer than Internet Explorer does."
Not true... Mozilla allows for faster turn-around times for security patches and updates. Cookies and images can be disabled in actual Emails, something outlook or outlook express fails to do.
In a security consience world, Mozilla is probably better in security than IE, since Mozilla isn't apart of the OS itself! Granted, Mozilla will have a few security holes, but who would you rather fix them? Microsoft with a 4 week turnaround time, or Mozilla with usually a 1-2 day turnaround.
Finally a company that understands their consumers rights. There is nothing different from the Replay system than fast forwarding commercials on a VHS tape.
Rights are hard to come by these days... too bad there isn't more of an outcry.
Parents need to tell their children that they cannot talk to strangers online; it is the same rules applied to real life. Should a child have to give out their address online? Probably doesn't have to at all to surf the web or talk to friends online. The same rules we tell our children to abide by in life need to just extend to the Internet.
I have gentoo up and running on my laptop, and my desktop. I consider myself as an intermediate to semi-advanced linux buff, but I had never really knew the intricities of installing a distribution from complete source and what happens at the core of the installation (thanks to all those GUI installers). It was a great learning experience - at times I had some trouble, but #gentoo actually has the gentoo developers in there helping people with problems and trying to resolve them. Kudos to the Gentoo team.
Upgrading to a new version of gentoo is easy, and straight forward with the Portage system. There is no need to reinstall, like some flavors of linux, just a simple emerge --update system and an emerge --update world.
The distro is fast - in fact - much faster than my mandrake box I had on my desktop (before I migrated to gentoo). I have no benchmarks, but the bloat is gone, and the speed is there.
"This is number is exchanged with the server through a secure process known only to Prescient, the server uses it to encrypt any information it sends back to the client, and then the key is destroyed and a new one is created."
If I have this right, bnetd doesn't actually support W3. The branched version of the code called warforge does. IMHO this branch should have actually got the cease and desist and not the bnetd developers.
After reading the arguments, I firmly believe that this whole fiasco will come down to who owns the TCP/UDP packets coming out of one's computer. There was no real reverse engineering of a program here (decompiling, assembly dumps, etc). Just the communication of a client/server relationship over a network.
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty."

This fiasco is probably just instituted because of the coalition of UnitedLinux distributors banding together.

It depends which state you are in if lockpicks are legal... But sending any lockpicks in the mail to a non-locksmith is a federal crime.
Lets see... Send some of the best coffee beans on the earth... I always had bad coffee.

Security in obscurity will never be secure.

Maybe people can use the Karma points for payment to avoid ads. Seems fair to me.
