this coming from someone who owns at least one of them.
I found a Death Star too! I used to have one when I was a kid, but my parents sold it at a garage sale sometime in the 80's. I found one for my Son to play with now. 25 years old and still can withstand a 4 year old. They don't make stuff like that anymore.
I just wonder why this took so long for Novell to bring up.
My feeling on that is rather simple, actually. They had to make for 100% damn sure that they were right in what they were gonna say to the public. They've probably dumped millions into lawyers over the past few weeks / months to make for SURE that SCO is / was wrong. THAT is probably what took so long.
Or maybe it's just they're not doing all that well since M$ took over the Network arena.
Oh... right, I forgot... M$ has been giving money to SCO...
I think the reason most people here are bitter is the way MS is micro-controlling their patch distribution.
Ummm... no.
I *choose* to not use their products, not because of their crappy way of handeling updates/patches, but because even when they do get around to issuing something, the software itself is still buggy and crash prone. I don't want to shell out $300 for that kinda software. If it costs that damn much, it'd better not crash...
I'll take free and rub on my little bit of elbow-grease, thank you.
Why charge for one discussion when you can charge for two?
I guess you don't work in the "corporate" world. We have meetings on what to discuss at a meeting about what we're supposed to meet about in a future meeting.
This is quite normal (as sad as it is...).

What's involved in "shorting" their stock? What happens if a mass number of people do this to a company?
1) Make BS claims that their IP was robbed.
2) Wait for stockholders to ramp up the cost of the stock.
3) Sell crap stock when it's worth 10 times more than it was a few months previous.
4) PROFIT!!!

right, like you aren't telling him what to think either. Hypocrite.
I'm only suggesting that he not assume someone else's thoughts are the be-all-and-end-all as BillyG want's us to think. We *DO* have choices. That's all I was pointing out.
To the best of my knowledge, we only *HAVE TO* use IE for hitting WindowsUpdate (and that's only because they block any other browser). My point stands:
Think for yourself, for a change. And I offered only offered that as a suggestion. I made no directives in my post. I am not a hypocrite. If the person feels happy with IE, fine, go ahead. I can feel happy he/she/it is not on my network.

You are the exact kind of person BillyG is looking for (and has proven exists in large masses). Someone who can't think for themselves, so he can tell you what to think, since you have no clue otherwise.
Those damn phone menu things when you call a company: "Enter your creditcard number and press pound"
I worked in a bakery when I was in high school. 10# sugar, etc.
I have a few Brit friends on IM (I'm in the US), since I don't have their monetary symboly on my keyboard, they understand what I'm saying when I type "WHAT? #150??".
The third matrix movie ends with Neo in the shower with Larry Hagman.
You make a joke, but this is exactly what I'm afraid of.
Something like, Thomas Anderson fell asleep in his cube one morning and from the point the FedEx guy dropped off the cell phone that Morphious calls him on is 100% dream...
OK, so reply to this posting with your home address, telephone number (cell included, and work number and extension just for fun), and also include your Date of Birth and Social Security number. Oh, and if you're old enough to have a credit card, we'd like to have those numbers too.

It is generally not a good idea to purchace computer parts made in China during the Chinesse new year.
On the contrary: That's exactly when I would purchace something as they were made a few weeks to a month or so previous, most likley...

I'm sure we'll be seeing some sort of story explaining what's going on w/the changes on the front page
It looks like they've been testing a few things as of late.
Bug in slashdot me thinks.

What? It's open source and runs on Linux! It's not possible for it to have bugs!
