I'm pretty sure that's how most people get their shots of caffein (me included). This is how it goes:
The pressure is high, the pot is within reach, It's hard to resist, you might just manage but... the stupid collegue unhelpfully opens his mouth to say : "want some as wel ?"
I know is hard, but learn how to say : "later maybe", "Not right now, thanks", "nah, just had some" or the more final "No thanks"
The other thing to do at work is to NEVER ASK OTHER PEOPLE IF THEY WANT SOME COFFEE WHENEVER YOU TAKE SOME!!! Otherwise you could put them in a position to accept coffee while in fact they don't want it. Everybody should take care of his own addiction.
If you are indeed a copyright holder, and I suspect this must be specified in one of the file sco is distributing, a cease and desist letter might be a good start.
Of your three points, only point 1) is left. Lately SCO seems to want us to forget about point 2) and 3). Apparently the community may have effectively countered those two claims
it'a rather complicated. afaik this is how sco sees it:
- sco believes aix is a derivative work of the original at&t unix. - In the licence that came with unix, it is written that any derivative work the licencee develops (ibm, in this case) still belonges to at&t. - sco bought (eventually) the rights to this code. - sco said : ibm!, you thief!, you put 'our' trade secrets (aix) in linux. - but sco does not have access to it's own trade secrets (aix), so can't prove it. - so sco says to ibm : show us our trade secrets (aix), so we can check if indeed you put 'our' secret stuff in linux.
it's all very far fetched, I know. but it seems to come down to: - is aix indeed a derivative work of the at&t unix - if the licence telling all derivative work indeed belongs to at&t - if sco has any right on it (the licence mensioned at&t specifically, not the current owner of the unix code). - if ibm put any aix code in linux. -...
As a matter of fact, you can say that for _all_ planes. You'd be surprised of the number of people on this planet that cannot afford to fly (a great majority!).
I don't think you would be so happy if all planes would go, just because they're only for the rich.
life is all about change. we tend to forget that. We would all like to see a forever unchanging world.
It's just not like that.
True, we, the people, are driving the change today at a frantic pace. But the world (Nature?) would do so too without any help, and just as wel (or bad?). Extinctions happened long before people came along.
And we might become extinct as wel, either through our own doing, through a solar flare, an earth mantel slide (shifting the continents) or possibly the way of the Dinosaurs.
Sorry, but there isn't enough water on this planet to make it a Waterworld.
Worse case scenario: it will never be more than a hunderd meter or so (I live in the Netherlands, so good by), even though a great deal of the world would flood under, this still leaves a lot of land free of water.
Interresting, but the ice is mostly on top and at the bottom of the world where the sun's light have little effect anyway (obviously).
Beside, for the north pole at least, if the ice cap melts, the resulting ocean would receive the sunlight from a very low angle, which would be mostly below the total reflexion angle. In effect reflecting all sun light back to space anyway.
Does somebody remember at what angle the water surface would totaly reflect ? would that cover the area covered by the northern ice area ?
For the southern pole, if it ever gets free of ice, I suspect that the continent there would shine more heat towards space during it's long night that it could possibly store during it's day. Ice isolates the southern continent, so although it doesn't absorbe much heat, it keeps wat little it has quite wel.
In effect removing the ice there might make the continent even colder.
There is, apparently, evidence that the salt level of the sea has not changed significantly since geological time, and the seas have gone up and down like a yo-yo since.
Ocean life, or other mechanisms, regulates it.
of course locally, the salt level change a great deal all the time: evaporation, melting ice flows or river streams modify the salt levels all over the place. These local changes even seem to power the great ocean streams like the gulf stream.
I suspect AMD is heavely betting on the *Coool* element. And they might even be right for all the front runners out there.
On my workplace I'm getting more and more ram, bigger and bigger disks, and the only one using it is the operating system (my soft runs in a terminal and (still) fits on a floppy).

... Electronics can fail, and do screw up ...
This is BS, and has been since like for ever: People cause way more accidents than electronics. Give me an auto pilot anytime
You are, however correct in why people are still driving the bus : they know how to improvise, and computers do not.
Euh ... I think they meant _entering_ a no-fly zone, not pointing your aircraft towards one!

if it scares you (and it shouldn't), edit the code ... and remove it.
no problem.
Actually, I suspect it's inside an option, which you can simply disable.
I think this means that if you mount a floppy on
This probably only usefull if you want to do it while files are opened by some program. (unmounting would close the files unexpectedly)
would that limit be : 1.4M ? ;^)
I don't think the OSS layer changed much between 2.4 and 2.6
As Linux now uses Alsa, you could check here:

Sorry, but if somebody forges my password, I can think of a new one. If somebody manages to copy my Iris, I'm stuck, as I cannot replace my eye.
no biometrics please.
Ah, yes.
And now, they are going to fire the stupid bloke who funked-up the hidding, instead of doing anything about the rapport's conclusion.
Ah well, that what we call justice.
you can still download it @
ftp://ftp.sco.com/
If you are indeed a copyright holder, and I suspect this must be specified in one of the file sco is distributing, a cease and desist letter might be a good start.
ftp.sco.com is still open. check for yourself.
There is a file ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/Legal_Notice
there which states that from tomorrow on (1 november) this will really close.
Actually, MS is paying for this. This way they keep there hands clean!
... and it will be a while until mobile internet has the bandwidth to support online music.
I think radio will be here for a while yet.
Beside, Radio has been on the threshhold of death since before my birth. So, I guess, news of it's demise are (still) greatly exagerated.
Of your three points, only point 1) is left. Lately SCO seems to want us to forget about point 2) and 3). Apparently the community may have effectively countered those two claims
the code is AIX.
SCO believes it is derivative of AT&T unix, and so believe they own AIX.
they claim IBM put some of it in linux, and want to see the AIX sources to be able to prove it.
it'a rather complicated. afaik this is how sco sees it :
: ...
- sco believes aix is a derivative work of the original at&t unix.
- In the licence that came with unix, it is written that any derivative work the licencee develops (ibm, in this case) still belonges to at&t.
- sco bought (eventually) the rights to this code.
- sco said : ibm!, you thief!, you put 'our' trade secrets (aix) in linux.
- but sco does not have access to it's own trade secrets (aix), so can't prove it.
- so sco says to ibm : show us our trade secrets (aix), so we can check if indeed you put 'our' secret stuff in linux.
it's all very far fetched, I know. but it seems to come down to
- is aix indeed a derivative work of the at&t unix
- if the licence telling all derivative work indeed belongs to at&t
- if sco has any right on it (the licence mensioned at&t specifically, not the current owner of the unix code).
- if ibm put any aix code in linux.

But globally, it doesn't seem to change at all.
I noticed at the local supermarket a HP printer CHEAPER than the cartrige that fitted inside it.
I was amazed.
I just love statistics.
