Ansel Adams and the group of photographers - the f64 group - essentially worked to promote a style established by Edward Weston. It has much in common with Stieglitz' Photo-Secession - the concept of absolute honesty combined with absolute control of materials.
Adams' main contribution to photographic technology was his 'Zone' exposure system, which combines exposure, development and printing into a single system. It was like a very early ColorSync (even if it was in black and white).
Photography before f64 and the Photo-Secession was only considered 'art' if it was manipulated. Most Victorian photographic art was sacherinely allegorical. When photographers such as Weston and Adams came onto the scene, their images were considered shockingly raw.
To suggest that Adams was somehow considered a fraud would be to misconstrue the history of photography.
Bearing in mind that the Boston Tea Party was a protest by tea smugglers against the lifting of taxes on tea imports by the British, I imagine American history will record the SCO fiasco as a triumph of one man's will against hordes of unwashed code thieves.

She does, but her lousy ex-boyfriend Kurt - the one with the neck tattoo - took all the CDs and CD-ROMs when he moved out to shack up with Cindy Metalhead. The hard drive on her G4 is on the fritz too, because Kurt's kid Darien spilled Vanilla Pepsi into it when he was on one of his access visits.
I am confident that most British people understand that Murdoch owns a massive array of intertwined media conglomerates, TV networks, newspapers and sports teams. They generally accept this on the proviso that he continues to deliver The Simpsons.
Left the legal profession my ass. You haven't even left your parent's basement. Watching non-stop Law and Order does not mean you are a lawyer you know. It's just TV.
You really should give people the benefit of the doubt; you don't know whether he was a lawyer or not. Assuming that someone is lying without any evidence to the contrary is simply unkind.
You remind me of someone I once had a long swordfight with before pushing them into a volcano.
Here's something from astronautix about the Proton story:
Development of a three-stage version of the UR-500 was authorised in the decree of 3 August 1964. During development, in comparison to the original polyblock design, the engine performances were improved by about 5 seconds; the mass of the first stage increased by 71 tonnes; the second stage by 30 tonnes; and the third stage by 27 tonnes (more than doubled). These changes brought the low earth orbit payload from 12,000 kg up to almost 20,000 kg. The UR-500K, although it exceeded the launch mass of the 11A511 Soyuz by 2.22 times and the fuel mass by 2.25 times, was more efficient with a useful load by 2.78 times greater. However putting the new variant of Proton into service proved difficult.
Decrees of 12 October and 11 November 1964 authorised development of the Almaz manned military space station and the manned circumlunar spacecraft LK-1 as payloads for the UR-500K. However at the same time Khrushchev was ousted from power. Chelomei lost his chief patron and his projects came under negative scrutiny by the new leadership.
Although Korolev was opposed to the Proton, he now used it to his advantage. On 8 September 1965 Korolev presented several schemes for using Chelomei's UR-500K to fly around the moon. One alternate was a two-part spaceship, using the Proton with the upper stage Block D from Korolev's N1-L3 lunar project. This would launch Korolev's 7K-L1 spacecraft (derived from the 7K-OK Soyuz spacecraft) onto a translunar trajectory. This project received the name UR-500K-L1, and was adopted in place of Chelomei's LK-1. It required construction of 18 UR-500K rockets, which, in a combination flight-test and government trials program, would send L1 spacecraft around the moon, at first unmanned, then manned.
To unexpectedly reconverge on-topic, car ads in the UK are not allowed to suggest that cars go fast, as that would be promoting unsafe driving (I kid you not).
Dream on - Mac will be an ideal system for game development when it's installed on 95% of common gamers' machines, has multiple languages running on a single runtime, allows for components written in different languages to talk to each other without hassle, and has a stardard way of manipulating hardware. Until then, Windows is still the ideal development for writing games - the huge market available, DirectX, plus COM+ and.Net interoperability makes Windows a gaming platform unchallenged by either Mac or Linux.
One aspect that developers might want to consider is the time required to see a return on investment. While Windows does have a significantly larger market share, there are several advantages to developing for OS X:
Less competition
Free (and good) development tools
User base is demonstrably prepared to pay for quality products
Speed of development in Cocoa can outweigh time to port to Windows
Cocoa offers fully object-oriented late-bound control of streams, messaging and scripting
Obviously developers want the largest market share available, but that can come from developing for Macintosh and then using that expertise in an unsuspecting Windows world - qv: Macromedia, Adobe, Quark and, ironically, Microsoft.
The iPod does use the same Toshiba 1.8" hard drive that was used in some PCMCIA cards, but that doesn't mean the iPod uses PCMCIA. And Flash RAM is something different altogether.
The new interface functions are really just icing on the cake (not that icing is unwelcome). Panther fixes a number of restrictions facing developers and offers some new widgets. For example, 10.3 allows custom cursors larger than 16 x 16 pixels. There is a new rotary slider control, a new webview, and so on.
These are features in Panther that will only become apparent as developers release products that use them. By buying Panther you're getting more than is immediately apparent.
An OS X PDF renderer in Safari would be better than the Acrobat plug-in. Cocoa uses PDF natively, in NSPDFImageReps. You can render PDF as easily as you can render JPEG (ie: very easily).
Not that this would interpret the PDF streams inside the document; that would be less trivial.
The backlash is what Guy Fawkes and his fundamentalist buddies were hoping for, much in the way that bus bombings in Israel are committed in the pursuit of open war.
The Gunpowder Plot was essentially 9/11 in 1605, except that the plot was foiled.

How can you exactly copyright this virus if it occurs in nature ?
I agree; copyrighting natural phenomena is outrageous. This is what patents are for.
Dude, you're the first person to mention Macs in this whole thread. And what's all this about vaseline? Is there something you're trying to tell us?
It's totally messed up your caps lock key too.
By that logic the parent would have been rejected.
