I'd guess that SCO would argue that the GPL is ultra vires. For example, I could write a contract that grants the moon on a stick. It doesn't mean it is legally binding.
In fact, the wording of the GPL would work in SCO's favor; if they can prove that affected code was distributed by others before Caldera, then those others have unfairly granted licenses to code that belonged to SCO.
Let's assume that the parent post was modded troll because so many people have asked the same question.
How about this: Suppose you were incredibly lucky and guessed right 95% of the time. A Bayesian analysis of the data would mark you as a more reliable source than background noise. The federal authorities are getting information from you in a far more convenient way than hauling you in, which would probably end their supply of information.
Incidentally, suppose you are incredibly unlucky and guessed wrong 95% of the time. Bayesian analysis can make use of this too. You can be a loser and still help your country.
You don't really have any reason to worry, unless while you're outside the states you only use a credit card with a non-US address. The guy in the article had bought some tunes with a US cc and then tried to re-authorize them after a reinstall with a Canadian cc.
Ironically, Mac users are more likely to be republicans, as they have higher incomes. Whether this is because you need a higher income to own a Mac or because using a Mac leads to a higher income, is undetermined.
None of these arguments really make much sense. The top end of Apple's range and the lower end of SGI's have always overlapped. The difference between the two companies is that Apple is obsessed with offering a compelling multimedia environment to "prosumers", while SGI is more firmly aimed at power-crazed pink-eyed mad scientist types.
Objective C is a beautiful language for sure. The square brackets kind of freak you out at first, but the way you can do Smalltalk-style statements make it totally worthwhile (and readable). For example:
it's worse than that. back in the late 80s i used to train art directors to use the new macs that everyone was kitting up with. i'd start off with a quick introduction to the mouse and menus, then move on to the hard drive and floppy icons. i had one trainee who took over an hour to accept the difference between a floppy and a HD. she wasn't stupid; she was just so afraid of being left behind that she pretty much refused to accept anything.
What you mean is: "If one group is thrown in jail more frequently than another group then I will pull them over more frequently and throw them in jail."
I hope you're not a programmer. If you are, I hope you don't work at a nuclear plant.
Apple: Jeff Goldblum That stoned girl who says "bummer"
Dell: Those stupid interns who think Dell actually innovates anthing. "Steve"
So as you can see, although the Apple system is slightly more expensive than the Dell, it only involves losing your lunch, as opposed to lunch, breakfast and whatever you had yesterday with the Dell.
Once an app is built with it, though, it cannot be changed by the user (except with third party tools.)
Depends. If the window is in a nib then there's no easy way (that I know of) to change the styleMask other than including two copies of the window in the nib. If it's created on the fly then obviously so is the styleMask and that can be set to whatever you want. A more philosophical aspect is whether you want the user to be able to change the appearance of your application.
Never trust a company that is trying to sell you something.
Hey, give those companies a break. Remember how before these fast chips came along they all used to advertise their computers as "hopelessly slow", "utterly inadequate" and (my favorite, from a Data General ad), "retarded to the extent of inducing migraines".
you're not counting VAT clawback. if you're registered for VAT then you can claim back the VAT spent on goods and services you've paid for. it's an accountant's wet dream.

you beat me by 1 minute (though i did end up making a new way of counting binary on my fingers during the process).

if new peace talks

I do not know which is worse, your coding or your cynicism.
Is Ed Catmull the Catmull in Catmull-Rom splines?
Pixar movies are for children. I can't think of any movies meant for children that had me debating the meaning of symbols or events.

You're thinking of the BPI.
IPA is a kind of beer.
No need for anything external except a flppy drive.

What if you allow someone on fisherman's wharf to play mp3s on a computer along the shore? That is file sharing and it is on a pier to pier network.

NSImage * anImage = [[[NSImage alloc] initWithSize: [anObject getSize]] retain];
c += 2;
Washing Machine
Two knobs with bizarre pictograms, numbers and letters at apparently random intervals.
Car Heater
Two sliders, one labelled "HOT - BLOW - LO" and the other labelled "HIGH - DEFROST - (picture of a fan).
VCR
Worst interface ever.
Cigarette
Now there's an interface. That stupid New York law should be rescinded on interface elegance alone.

on the bright side, i was being paid by the hour.
