If you don't know what I'm talking about, consider this. If it's 20 degrees outside, and it's twice as cold at your friend's house, how cold is it there? Is that on a scale based on the freezing point of H20, or based on absolute zero?... Also is that 20 degrees in Kelvin, C, or F? That's a really good trick question even if you didn't mean for it to be.
dang. i got commi'd on a slashdot thread.... I sux. Your journal entry is amuzing. I have to agree with most of what you said about Novell's past.
I still think you were trolling a bit however.
Cynical but it could work with a jury drawn from the right sort of community.
I hate to say it, but Utah is the one of these sorts of communities (I live there). The local media hasn't exactly been on IBM's side. I think that joe sixpack jury man would see this as the little guy getting stepped on.
the way it works (from what my pilot told me) is that the pilot should let the aircraft drop but change the rotor pitch to so that the air will spin the rotors quickly as you fall. As the ground approaches you again change the rotor pitch to use up most of the energy gained from the fall. this is roughly equivalent to a stall in a fixed wing aircraft. He said that if you do it right, the landing can be just as gentle as any powered landing. I never want to find out if he's right though
i found this article on SCOX latest runnup to be telling. In particular: SCO management has indicated $1 billion would be an acceptable takeout price -- about one-third of the $3 billion plus potential punitive damages SCO is seeking from IBM
hmmm a billion dollars? I think IBM would rather take this thing to court. In the mean time I'm not going to target $45 a share as the analyst pushed.
is the game here... like anyone here really trusts what Bill says. MS just must be getting feedback to be standards compliant from very large customers. They will only run with this until their implementation is the defacto standard.
"voucher socialism" -- but that's not necessarily a bad thing."
hmmm I don't mean to sound like MS pr or anything, but it's kind of scary in some ways that things like socialism are being spun as "not necessarily bad things".
It's funny how all of us here know what is really going on, but the financial world is just eating the excrement that SCOX is spewing.
Check their stock. It is NOT going down. Sure we read and care what Linus says, but apparently none of us have any pull in the financial community. By the time SCOX reinvents itself, they (executives and friends) will have made a lot of money from all of this, and at the end of the day that's why they're doing this.
OT a little but I think fasting once in a while (perhaps not Ghandi style for extended periods of time) is a great purification process physically, mentally, and spiritually. Perhaps it is this type of purity that is prized by damagestudios.... hmmm i wonder where i put my resume again.

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.
I partially fear the day when linux is generally on the desktop, and many "joe sixpack" type users have very similair installations. Malicious adware vendors will flock to linux in hurds.
It is easier for some in the Open Source community to fire off a "rant" than to sit across a negotiation table. What a Troll. That's like claiming someone ( who is actually innocent ) stole your purse, then sitting down with them to figure out what percentage they can keep to "settle this whole ugly affair". What a prick.
So every song downloaded from online sales never deteriorates or dies off. I will only have to buy the White album one more time.... and then it will be in my family forever.... or until we sell it. this is truly like making your own money...
shouldn't there be a for loop with a nonblocking system call to start multiple instances of that cute script ? I mean wget is a blocking call isn't it....we wouldn't want that to slow us down
actually (and interestingly enough) the company is currently run by Jack Messman (formerly the ceo of Cambridge technology partners) who is not a Mormon and lives in Boston. Day to day operation at the provo campus is however run by mormons.
Where I work (big shop 4000+)there is a "cold turkey" project that is a pilot for those interested in running linux. This is to work out any kinks in the original linux on the desktop plan. The bean counters here understand that buying windows and MANY other microsoft products is costing them A LOT of money. Of course you can't do everyone "cold turkey" but a SMART CIO Cxx has a OSS game plan.
actually it is much easier to just get a capture card or just plug your s video out into your vcr (not as high quality as a dvd, but very good for vhs)

I happen to know H0ek was trolling when he wrote that.... because he is sitting next to me laughing right now.

yeah.... embrace it and extend it too

I thought it was just for fiaSCO.
I've been using an the groupwise java client for a while now....its a little slow to load, but suprisingly good for a java app.
Perhaps we should all call. I had a thought that was longer than that, but i think you get the idea.

Beowulf clusters, natalie portman , hot grits etc are possibly going too far back, no? I don't see much of that anymore.
