For purposes of settlement, Respondent admits the truth and accuracy of the allegations and charges in the Accusation. Respondent and his accountancy corporation engaged in the practice of public accounting with expired licenses.
Respondent additionally failed to pay an administrative fine imposed by the Board for failing to supply the Board with copies of a financial report representing the highest level of service rendered, in accordance with Section 89.1 of the California Code of Regulations. Respondent's failure to pay the administrative fine caused the Board to withhold renewal of his CPA license.
He broke the law by practicing with an expired license, failed to pay fines, and is now now suing search engines because the information was posted on the internet by the state of California. That's his own damn fault. People need to learn to live with the consequences and take responsibility for their actions.
There was a time when if you posted the address of a web site that hosted child porn on alt.hackers.malicious, the hand full of regular posters would trip of each other trying to be the first to deface the site. Since child porn is considered the greater of the two evils, many felt the defacing was justified and would be over looked by law enforcement personel.
That is a problem with NASA'a faster-better-cheaper approach to space flight. There's a good chance that a catastrophic bug will be missed. NASA lost a $125 million orbiter on Mars due to a metric conversion error. A simple conversion check was never done!!
Ah, and this brings me to MONO, a project which is a tragedy because it is walking into a big trap called "patents".
MONO is a part of Ximian which was bought by Novell. I resently listed to a talk by Novell on Linux. Novell was proud of mentioning and pushing SuSE, Ximian, and MONO. If patents do become an issue, Novell will be involved. This is better than Ximian trying to deal with MS on their own. Novell mentioned that 90% of their products will be running on Linux by March. Novell is putting a lot of effort and their furture behind Linux.
So, they are complaining, in part, that IBM tricked them: "They made secret plans, and didn't tell us!"
What The SCO Group fails to mention was that any agreements with IBM were with Santa Cruz Operations. IBM dropped out of the Moterey Project after the sale of the UNIX portion of old SCO to Caldera. The SCO Group is trying to confuse the issue of what agreements were made to whom with their name change from Caldera. Of course Caldera would be pissed when IBM dropped out of something that they just bought and had high hopes for. But IBM didn't make the agreements with Caldera. Whether any agreements with Santa Cruz Operations carried over with the sale to Caldera would depend on the wording of the agreements. My guess is that they don't, otherwise IBM would not have been so quick to drop the Moterey Project like a hot potato.
I miss the old themes.org. The themes could be as simple as AbsoluteE or some gaudy monstrosity. And they would both look good. There was also a lot of effort to create the best looking theme or screenshot. I just don't see that anymore. The only reason I don't use E now is because Slackware dropped it because of library naming issues. Instead, I'm using KDE which is just as bad as Gnome. There are well over a dozen different processes that need to be running.
I miss how simple and smooth E ran, even on older, slower systems. The only thing that has impressed me with the desktop in the last couple of years is the addition of tabs to the webbrowsers and Konsole.
Anyone remember when Netscape was the only GUI webbrowser. And it was also the buggiest thing on the system?
I've met a few people in the Air Force that referred to the F-16 as a "Lawn Dart". With the fly-by-wire, single engine, small wing span, and buggy computer needed to fly it, if anything goes wrong, the F-16 turns into nothing more than an expensive lawn dart.
After the wall fell, one of the airplane magazines had an article on one of the older MIGs (don't remember which model). At the time, you could pick them up for fairly cheap (well, cheap for being a jet). Since getting spare parts was some what difficult if even possible, the magazine recommended that if you REALLY wanted a MIG, buy two just so that you have spare parts.
Another thing that I remember from the article, the jet on that MIG had a really slow spool up time. This meant that when you pushed the throttle to full, it would take the engine a while before it produced full power. This becomes a problem if you have to do a missed approached or abort a landing. This meant that when you landed that MIG, you would push the controls to full throttle before the wheels touched down, just in case. This is the same thing that planes do when landing on a carrier. But it seemed strange to do for a ground based runway.
Being that the code leaked was Windows NT 4.0 and
2000 source codes, why are we seeing an issue
with IE 5.0? Just goes to prove how close the
browser was tied to the operating system.
MSHTML is included in the leaked code. This the core of IE and where most of the expoits with IE seem to occur. The first few expoits that are found using the source code will probably be ones that have already been using other methods. All this will prove is that yes it's easier to find exploits when you have access to the source code, but having access to the code isn't necessary. Just look at all of the problems, exploits, viruses, and worms that have plagued MS for years when the source code was closely guarded.
Purchase an extra battery. Batteries will only last for so long. They are also expensive to replace if your manufacturer no longer makes laptops that use that battery. I've also seen some laptops that will not work if the battery is bad.
Pay extra for the extended warranty. Since laptops are proprietary, the only place you can go to for replacement parts is from the manufacturer that made it. And the parts for laptops are not cheap. I recent tried to fix a laptop that had a broken screen (someone obviously sat on it). The only problem was the warranty had just expired. The cost of the replacement screen was over $900. Whether the manufacturer even offers an extended warranty is an indication of the quality of the laptop. I wouldn't purchase one from anyone that would only offers a 1 year warranty. For this reason, I will also pay extra for name brand laptops. Yes, you can get a no name one for next to nothing, but who are you going to turn to for repair parts when the company is no longer around.

Our customers that are buying [UNIX] from us today, we generally don't have a problem with," McBride said. "We have some former customers that have left that are running on Linux, and they are in the crosshairs."
So basically they are targetting former customers? Are they seriously trying to keep their few remaining licensees in line with these kind of scare tactics? It seems like they are saying 'stay with us or we'll sue'.
If they are former customers, then there is a good chance that they are using Caldera Linux. SCO would be putting itself in a bad spot by suing a former customer over something that was purchased from Caldera.
Is that why SCO wanted people to register before they can download Linux updates? Was it to get a list to make sure they don't accidently sue the wrong people?
So they compare a high end mainframe with a low end Intel Xeon box. Z900's can have up to 64GB of memory. Windows 2000 Server can only access 4GB. When you request a quote from IBM for a Z900, the options for the amount of storage space you need are listed in TBs!!
So they are comparing a large enterprise size mainframe with a small departmental server. Talk about comparing apples with oranges. The results of the study must have been REALLY bad for MS if they had to waste $200,000 - $400,000 on hardware to prove that MS has a better TCO.
The study forgot to include an important number used to determine the TCO of MS products. They forgot to include the damages caused by viruses and worms.
The total number of viruses unleashed upon the Internet in its relatively short history is about 63,000. The total cost of these acts is estimated at $65bn (39.24bn).

Dax,
Thanks. I noticed the pirahna web server rpm would rebuild unless the kernel had this patch. I was wondering why it wasn't in the stock kernels since it's GPL. We may want to consider including it.
The some of the numbers in the above are identical, others are not. SCO claimed in court that there are no trade secrets in UNIX, only in the Unixware that SCO sells. So unless the different errno.h files in Linux are identical to what is found in Unixware, SCO doesn't have anything to stand on. The above files are from the same archive that contained a copy of malloc.c that SCO tried to use as proof that code was copied into Linux. It was later shown that the malloc.c code in question was released under a BSD style license at least twice and was probably in the public domain as well. So that can't make any Copyright claims.
Even if the headers are located in Unixware, SCO already acknowledged that some of the header files in question came from BSD. Much of the code from the AT&T-BSD settlement was placed in the public domain.
http://209.157.64.200/focus/f-news/1028217/posts
AT&T claimed this code, among other portions of its Unix OS, as infringed by the University of California in the BSD litigation, and was denied a preliminary injunction on the ground that it could not show a likelihood of success on its copyright claim, because it had published the code without copyright notices and therefore, under pre-1976 US copyright law, had put the code in the public domain.
In SCO's letter that they recently sent, they are claiming Copyright to everything from the settlement.
The settlement agreement between USL and BSDI addressed conditions upon which BSDI could continue to distribute its version of UNIX, BSD Lite 4.4, or any successor versions, including certain "UNIX Derived Files" which include the ABI Code. A complete listing of the UNIX Derived Files is attached. The ABI Code identified above is part of the UNIX Derived Files and, as such, must carry USL / SCO copyright notices and may not be used in any GPL distribution, inasmuch as the affirmative consent of the copyright holder has not been obtained, and will not be obtained, for such a distribution under the GPL.
They seem to have forgotten that Caldera was founded on selling Linux under the GPL. SCO is trying to obscure that fact, in the media and in court, that they changed their name from Caldera.
SCO also seems to forget that they can't place their Copyrights on stuff that has been placed in the public domain. Some of the code that SGI added to Linux turned out to be from SCO who had wrongly placed Copyright notices on the files.
So SCO is claiming ownership of a bunch of #define, #ifdef, #ifndef, and struct statements. What happened to the millions of lines of code that Linux was infringing on? Even IF (big if) they can prove ownership of those files, about all they can claim is Copyright infringement. I don't see how trade secrets, methods, or know-how (SCO's words since they can't claim anything stronger) can be found in header files.
The lawsuit against IBM is still a contract dispute. Even though SCO claimed they would be adding Copyright infringement claims against IBM, they have yet to do so. My guess is they haven't made any Copyright infringement claims yet because even they are not 100% sure if they really own any of the code. And making false claims in court would kill their lawsuit.
When Caldera first obtained the old UNIX source code, they wanted to release ALL of it under an Open Source license. But they were not able to because to many other people and companies still have rights via Copyright to the code the other parties added.
The letter that SCO is sending out is just one more thing that will come back to haunt them.

And what about Slackware? It's one of the oldest Linux distributions that's still around. And it doesn't have it's own /. icon.
I wonder how many people on /. will start using comments or code snippets from the windows source in their sigs?
