Friendly fire maybe, civilans no... I doubt that "Enemy combatants" are going to willingly do ANYTHING which would make the easily noticeable to a compter, infact this sort of thing is more likely to make them fight in civilian clothes...
And did anyone else notice the picutre looked like somthing out of tiberian sun?
You allways get lazy lecturers anyway, even at a real uni. And as for the behind the times lecutrers... half of mine strugle with common tasks in windows XP a lot of the time, but do ground breaking research in AI and other fields.... kinda weird understanding and pushing the limits with the complex stuff without really being good at the basics.
As I see it the next major coflict will be Europe vs America... it does seem worryingly inevitable (20 years?) but at the moment hear in the UK were torn between the two sides. The UK will either endup as the 51st state of america or another state in Europe.... Not too sure which of those is the lesser of two evils, but neither is appealing at all.. as to where china and russia fit into this I havent a clue.
"What is pretty likely to happen in the near future is that we'll ship C# bindings for key things like the Evolution backend data stores -- your mail, your calendar, your addressbook, etc. -- at some point soon. This means the community can use Mono to extend Evolution and the desktop without all the hassle of diving into the web of C-based GObjects."
And presumably write more damm email viruses, making them cross platform even in the process:-(
Im not sure how great the advice is. Most people have a certain amount of self control that just needs to be exercised. Games of Desert Combat with friends living on my floor are great fun when we have the time, as is going out to the more alternative places in town. DivX/DVD playback of somesort is almost a must, its great just to have a quieter night with a freind or two and a good film to unwind after a long day of lectures/revision/coursework.
Having said that if you realy dont trust yourself then follow the advice
"Even more compelling, this law applies worldwide, to any company doing business in the state,"
I doubt they're gonnna go round extraditing people for this.. probably just pick them up at the airport or somthing
And anotherthing... How exactly will you know if there has been a security breach? If I send data unencrypted anyone at any ISP along the way could potentialy be listening in without me ever knowing.
Time for me to get some new plates with somthing like "HA HA HA" on them... then get some gafa tape and volla.... or perhaps get a seemingly normal plate so it would be less conspicuous

Yeah and they probably only bought that emulation technology to stop them from competing with them
As I see it system V is pretty old, and with refactoring being all the rage at the moment a rewrite will probably endup improving the original code, so SCO are only gonna loose on performance. (And rember they cant copy it because they respect copyrights/ip (and therefore the GPL under which any rewrite would be licensed))
yeah but a) its bayesian so learns from moderations and b) its optional, so rather than not letting you post at all it lets you post, but some users get the post flagged lower.
Actualy you might joke about this, but I think that having an optional bonus given (As with the current karma bonus) for messages that arent likely to be classified as Troll, offtopic or reduntant might be quite helpful for casual readers.
It would work based on the moderations of comments for the learning, and of course the bonus would be totaly userdefinable so you could set it to 0 and it would have no effect.
I dunno, but I hope to god they can persuade them to install some patches so this seemingly unending torrent of emails from "Microsoft support" stops somtime

Yes, but idiot Joe User will if someone tricks him into it.

no.. if it was counter-strike it would be cheat0r or h4xs or h4x0r or similar
havent really played it much, but i've gotta say burning to death is pretty good

Join the club.. BT over here cant run a bath tub, let alone a phone network, and NTL have poor coverage and arent that much better anyway really

"We're still identifying more and more code from Unix System V that is in Linux, and so we haven't even fully scoped the problem"
Why do I get the feeling they're running diff against the wrong directory or somthing daft like that?
How are they still claiming ownership after novel showed the world yesterday that THEY own the code, and SCO can just use/sublicense the code???

When will they start optimising for glxgears damm it?
Does Mandrake really have the same strict freesoftware guidelines as debian?
yeah but a) its bayesian so learns from moderations
and

This the page you meant?
Doesnt this kinda invalidate the whole law suit?
GNU/Linux refers to what you get on cds....
GNU is the tools and commands you run
Linux is the kernel, which is where the alleged stolen code is I believe
Dude thats illegal, sue them..... just need to wait abit and then we'll show the proof right?
