By the sounds of it the people backing SCO now are purely intersted in leveraging SCO's intellectual property rights, not actually making a product.
My guess is that once this case is over, whichever way it goes, SCO will disappear.

In the article they state that it is possible to move unclassified data onto the classified network, but not the other way round.
Depends on what storage matter the libraries of congress are stored on, eg if I get a 200gb hard drive that stores 17 libraries of congress does that make the woman lighter or heavier?

I don't see it in Australia either. It would be getting close to 2/3 the cost of a small car. Plus we have pretty good public transport (not excellent but good). Trams will go to most suburbs 10km from the city and the Train and Bus networks extends much further than that. So for anyone in the inner city (Segway target) you would get about 3 years of tram tickets, and you don't have to recharge your tram!

Actually I don't mind the cars on my bike rides (ride ~30k/18miles to and from work) if the traffic is really banked up. Most of the roads I ride on have bike lanes, which are about 1 meter wide and are next to the parked cars. You still have to watch for cars coming in/out of parking spots but if the traffic is stopped then you don't have to worry as much. We also have a bike 'start position' which is a 2 meter spot in front of the cars at traffic lights which means the cars always have 3 or 4 bikes in front of them.

Well I am not talking about a stroll (eg when you want to go for a walk) I am talking about the 8:00-->9:00AM and 5:00->6:00PM and lunch times in the city when the streets are packed. Lots of people getting on Trams, going to the subway. Sort of imagine the scene from the Matrix (1st one) where Neo is in the test simulator (girl in the red dress scene) walking along the street dodging everyone. That is what busy streets end up looking like, but without everyone walking in an orderly manor. It is frustrating to walk in, and I am sure it would be frustrating on a segway, especially with jostling etc.

To me 8mph is still quite fast, more like slow jogging speed. I live in Melbourne that like SF has big wide footpaths. During the morning and afternoon these footpaths are very crowded, you would be lucky to walk at 1 or 2mph. Even for people on rollerblades it becomes quite awkward to get around all the obstacles etc as you are constantly shifting left and right. I am sure that stopping and making a shifting around people/buskers/outside cafes/dogs/ street merchants/everything else is going to be quite a hassle.

I wasn't talking about bicycles, but Rollerblades, Skateboards skooters as well. All these are very much like the Segway in there stopping and potential speeds. On a busy sidewalk there just isn't room for these devices. And of *course* everyone is just going to go at walking speed on these when it is crowded.

I don't know about most cities in the US but here in Australia Skateboards, Scooters, Rollerblades, etc are all banned on City streets. It is just to dangerous and crowded for people crusing about on scooters. 12mph is about the same speed as a slow bicycle rider, and they are definately not allowed on the street.
Would you let me 'borrow' some money:-) But if you 'borrowed' it from work that doesn't count. If you where at work I hope you sent it express/first class;-)
The cost in going to a dual CPU system isn't the CPU it is the cost of the damn motherboard. Typically the motherboard is close to 4 times the cost of a single CPU board, although it is usually a high end or server board. The CPU's are about 2/3 the cost (each) of the Motherboard.
Blue is a relaxing color, that is why you will find it as there startup colors. I heard on the radio if you sit in a blue room for a while your heart rate will drop, however if you sit in a red room your heart rate will rise.
Both winword and IE on windows platform pre-load themselves, and hide the resource usage. Winword is a classic with Office Fast Start, which if I remember correctly lives as OSA.exe in task manager. You can turn it off if you know where to look.

It isn't MP3 it is AAC which is part of the Mpeg4 Spec. Apple points out that a AAC file at 128bit is imperceptible degradation. I haven't heard them but it is definately *not* an MP3 which would suck at 128bit.
You don't have transparency turned on do you? You are probably pushing the 3D chip on the machine. Jaguar has Quartz Extreme which puts the calculations for things like transparencies onto the 3D chip and therefore you get an increase in temp.
Try blowing away your cache, I have found that sometimes lesser OS's have problems with a particular file and cause all sorts of bad things to happen when they are accessed. It just so happens that web browsers caches are a prime candidate for these are there are so many file saves/deletes in the directory.
I thought that Bush is lobbying the money to come from the UN from the oil for food/medicine scheme. The UN has a lot of money from that, which I beleiev the US is wanting to get there hands on.

Just for those who are wondering:
Netgear 4 port 10/100/1000 Switch $725 (aussie dollars)
Belkin 4 port Firewire Hub -- $149 (again AUD)
So 4~5 times the price difference
