The problem as I see it seems to be that Harold Hunt issued an ultimatum to the XFree86 group, then started exchanging escalating insults with core team members, and was shocked that he didn't receive a favorable response. It isn't even relevant whose message was the first insult, since everyone's threshold for that is different. Now everyone's demonstrated how large their balls are, and Harold has taken his home.
Sure they can - they haven't seemed to have any problems making statements at variance with objective reality in the past, why do you think they'd hesitate to do so in regards to you if they could possibly make a dime off of it?
We know that the Linux kernel legitimately includes IP from SCO (from Caldera - tlan.[ch] and af_ipx.c, at least). Since, as I understand it, SCO is selling a license to use SCO IP in the Linux kernel, even if they fail to prove that there is any SCO IP improperly included in the kernel, the license would still apply to the legitimately included IP. Customers wouldn't need that license, since the IP would also be licensed under the GPL, but since the license SCO sold would still be covering real IP, they might be able to avoid the need to refund any license fees.
Vonage costs more than a land line; and you have to have a broadband internet connection *on top* of that.I just checked the SBC web site, and their land line rates for almost equivalent features are significantly more expensive, without even looking at the long distance. Since I had broadband first, it's an easy choice.
I'm sorry that you had problems with your Linux configuration, but this is not a support forum for Linux. While you may not have "had any problems with a windows OS crashing", I can assure you that is not the typical experience, and even most Windows experts will tell you that.
In America, we don't have famine, but we do have people starving--in large percentages--due to the dog-eat-dog criteria of capitalism.
Baloney. Recent estimates are that 64% of adults and 15% of children in the United States are overweight or obese. That compares with 4% of households in the United States which report "hunger". And I quote "hunger" because of the definition of "hunger" used by groups like Food Research and Action Center - "the uneasy or painful sensation caused by lack of food". If you put an obese child on a diet, they're going to be feeling an uneasy sensation sensation caused by the lack of food. Viola, you now have an obese child who qualifies as "hungry".
Please, provide one report showing that there are large percentages of people starving in the United States.
Capitalism is predicated on a free market. While the means of production are privately owned under both capitalism and fascism, the socioeconomic control of the government causes fascism to have more in common with socialism, hence "National Socialism", not "National Capitalism". As a result, facism suffers from many (but not all) of the same problems due to the central control of the economy.
Twice a month. I donate to several charities through payroll deductions, and haven't been hit up for more donations. I receive thank-you letters from each of them, and occasional letters about upcoming events, but never an out-and-out solicitation.
This is the first overt firing that I've heard of in the IT industry, but I'm sure there have been thousands that we just never heard of.
Well, it wasn't exactly a firing, but Dan Farmer was forced to leave SGI when word of his work on SATAN started attracting attention, and that got the notice of the New York Times back in 1995.
So what this article is suggesting is compulsary licensing of P2P networks. I assume in this case it also requires licensees to ensure that no material is being shared that is subject to copyright control.
No, compulsory licensing forces the content "owner" to license the content at a predetermined rate. An explanation of this is here.

Just a shame that it was co-authored by that gun-toting fucktard ESR who makes the lot of us seem like a bunch of hillbillies from Utah.

SCO could do that, without taking any risk. Since the SCO license only grants the right to use SCO IP, it doesn't claim to be granting the right to use non-SCO IP. That's probably what took so long for the license to come out - the lawyers had to be sure that the license wouldn't become fraudulent when SCO loses its case.
But the first step to answering the question of the origins of the code, is determinig which code needs to be investigated. That's why identifying the duplicated code is critical.
buying a device to read a book as opposed to just buying the paper book and not having to worry about charging it up before making a coast-to-coast flight.
that's if you're even allowed to switch it on these days...
I travel every month or two, and I've yet to be on a flight which didn't allow the use of electronic devices like a computer or a PDA.
Baen Books has an electronic publishing program that works for them and their authors. For $15 you get all of their books for a month (generally 6 titles, although 2-3 are usually reissues or the paperback release of a previous hardcover). If that's too much of a committment, individual books are available for $4-5. You can download the books in HTML, Palm Pilot, Rocketbook, RTF, and MS Reader formats. There's no DRM involved - Jim Baen figures that if he makes the books available at a reasonable price, people are generally honest and will pay for them rather than pirating them. They even give away electronic books in the Baen Free Library, and their authors have reported that they're seeing increased sales in their backlist, even from other publishers, that they can only attribute to appearing in the BFL.
Why? Because I'm a known spammer? Because I have an open relay? No. My insidious crime was choosing to host it on my cable modem instead of paying twice the money for half the bandwith and getting a "commercial" IP, or putting it on an OC12 at a co-lo and paying at least $200/mo for the maybe ten emails I'd send out on a heavy work day. They could easily, very easily check these IP's they've banned for open relays, but instead they use a tactic that's just as bad as the filters that block the whole continent of Asia!
That's because "dial-up" IP addresses are often used for the initial insertion of spam, not the relaying of it. In many cases ISPs have placed their own customer IP ranges in the DULs, so you may want to check with your ISP and find out if they've done this. Oh, wait, you didn't want to pay for the level of service that you're using, so you probably can't tell your ISP that you're running a mail server without admitting to violating their TOS.
What are you paying AOL to accept the email you send? Nothing? Then you don't really have any reason to complain that AOL isn't doing something that you aren't paying them for. The intended recipient(s) may have cause to complain, though.
Do you want to be the virus target by virtue of numbers?
There isn't necessarily a correlation between the two. Apache (including "branded" versions like the IBM HTTP Server) is the dominant HTTP server, but there are still far more IIS exploits than Apache exploits.

Pardons can be granted to people before they are convicted of crimes. For example, Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon.

In five elections, of what size(s), out of how many elextions of that size? 5 out of 10 - that's suspicious. 5 out of 10000 - it's a fluke.

A lot depends on the state. In some states, such as Texas, an employer can fire an employee with no reason given.

So I suppose that the this doesn't exist? The FTC does go after companies who make false claims in promoting their products.
