all i can think of is to wait long enough for them and send a burst of EMP at close range. that should be good enough...maybe we can have a bunch of anti-strykers that does this automagically.
"I say it'll be about a week, maybe two, before the code is replaced and this all goes away." At the risk of being labelled a troll, imho it does not go away. Assuming that some significant code was present (that came from SCO) they can always make the case that Linux folks couldn't have come up with that in the first place. So you cannot re-write it later, because you NOW know how it works, and you didn't earlier.
' That said, I'm a C++ person myself and totally agree that you can write tighter and faster apps using C/C++. However, if you MUST have a portable *GUI* application (ie. Win and Lin), Java really does make things very very easy for those without C/C++ backgrounds.' have you heard about a toolkit called qt ?
Instead of whining here, why don't you test the rcX candidates and report your findings on lkml, like the rest of us. You have better chances of getting things fixed.

gcc is a fscking python script, everytime you compile a file you call python... and i wondered why xfree compilation took so long.
huh ? i am using 1.4 rc 4 and this is what I get anupam@parth >>> file `which gcc`/usr/bin/gcc: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
I've always wondered why, in today's world of gigabytes of memory in personal computers, why such a big deal is made about virtual memory.. three basic reasons 1. resource virtualization 2. information isolation 3. fault isolation

i think what you _really_ wanted to say was "640k cores ought to be enough for anybody". oh dear lord...
Yes, Firefox is truly becoming the 21st century EMACS. It's a decent OS, all it needs now is a good web browser ;). :o)
