They have taken off 8 pages from the search in total, see the bottom of the google search results and you will find a link to another page containing the request to remove the sites. which... funnily enough lists the eight pages they have removed from the site..heh heh heh...
Whilst this is the first case I have heard of where a search engine has been instructed by an external body to remove links or sites from its search results, this is by and large a terrible thing to happen. The removal of certain sites from the search results is a step in the wrong direction, and if this type of thing should continue then google will rapidly start declining in popularity.
Now that i have read this news I feel that google is a tainted service, and no-longer can i trust it as a search engine to pull up valuable and unbiased results. Google should stand their ground and not be bullied into filtering there results like this. I for one will be looking out for a google alternative, it just sucks that google have had years of development and years of experience in making a such a damn good product. So who's the next contender to the throne ? MSN ?..... I surely hope not...

Yes, but... Although the G5 is a 64 bit processor, The OS is not truly 64bit, it only has "Hook's" in the OS where 64bit is / might be needed. There are a lot of reasons why apple have done this, and this is open for debate. In my book its not truely 64bit until the whole of the architecture is 64bit and that includes the OS.
Windows 200k, dare I comment? That must be a futuristic version, christened as the most bloated peice of software, acheiving hitherto unknown levels of bloatdom.
Its all very well, but Im still hankering after a half decent tracker. Most of the ones I have tried are truly awful. I survey them a couple of times a year to see if there is anything like rbf software's Med Soundstudio but nothing comes close to the mark.
Well I was going to write to complain about the lack of an SCO post today, but I dont think i'll bother.
The interesting thing about this article is that SCO, who started this ball rolling have now started crying becuase IBM arent taking this rubbish. Now they are saying that IBM are orchestrating the the whole open source community response to the case. Which is of course nonsense, and hardly something that we as a community would advocate.
SCO however neglect to say how back stage funding and encouragement from Microsoft is driving the SCO campaign of Fear Uncertainty and Doubt (downnright lies)

I havent bought a piece of software for at least 3 years! Most of the things I need are out there as open source.
Thing is... if this sort of thing becomes more common, it just means that the Crackers are going to have to get a bit more cunning and bypass the code which "phone's" home. Its futile really!

In the UK we have something called the "Tommorows World" roadshow, kinda like a since exhibition on wheels! They were showcasing this thing . Apparently it uses the same "Silicon" gyroscope technology as the Segway!
Clicked on the link, and it opens up in Konqueror.. Get a nice picture of a pylon, ( get really excited after seing such a juicy picture) and then twelve blank pages with a kind of tan, silky background texture. (excitement recedes somewhat!)
I couldnt help but laugh ! Must have been some sort of joke.
But then, I read on to discover that I must be the only one in the world who experienced this strangety. I must be a weirdo. Or maybe my pdf viewer is incapable of displaying invisible text !
surely if it was a public test , then the hardware platforms must have been variable. unless they had a bunch of people on site to go into an accoustically perfect room.
I'd be really intrigued as to the testing conditions here.
The playback mechanism is just as important as the encoder.
Apples , i would imagine have much nicer audio hardware than your average PC. How can they be sure that the quicktime results aren't skewed by the nice speakers and soundcard on Mac's??

Thats all we need! I take it you tried to submit this as an article, but it didnt get posted, in typical slashdot style.

Oh no, I wondered why that was on the cover, cheers you just ruined the whole movie for me.

Windows 200 ?

Is that a new versio or product line ? or is it a really old, version that cavemen used to use?
You swine, ... I've just bought the Charlton Heston Planet of the Apes DVD ...
I've not watched it yet.
I really enjoyed that book :)

own the netblock which SCO uses

according to this article
NFT are boycotting SCO products and services..
This is probably what is going on here

Interesting to see, they were using SCO Unix to host their website, but as stated in his interview, in light of recent events they switched over too!

"Ballmer said Windows costs less, runs faster and is more secure than Linux."
Is this true ? because if it is true, im formatting my SMP Gentoo build, and ordering Windows.
If it's not true, well, then I am going to sue them under the trade descriptions act.
