When is a good question. I keep asking that myself.
I figure it's actually worth about $1.88, but it's clearly way over that and keeps staying there. I think people who are holding SCOX are just doing so on the off chance that they might actually win one of those lawsuits. It's pretty unlikely, but it's kind of like throwing something down there, and letting it all ride on 10 black..
So Linux made it onto Steve Ballmer's radar screen at last?
Linux has been on Microsofts radar screen for a long time now. Bill Gates has mentioned it several times, as have several other Microsoft Execs.
Microsoft also has linux boxes in most of it's labs, and I know quite a few MS employees are are real fans of Linux.
I guess, that 50,000-plus more folks around the world now will be aware of open source...he sent it to everyone in the company! Interestingly, in his public-facing CEO memo, distributed the same day as the internal one, Ballmer in contrast mentions Linux just once. What is it that conjurers call this, ah yes - distraction strategy?
I'm sure that Ballmer is well aware that his "Internal" emails to all employees are always published. This was no surprise to him. He probably didn't mention it in his customer facing letter because he figured Linux didn't need to advertise it.
I'd also be quite surprised if Microsoft isn't well on it's way to having Office and mabye some Backoffice products ready to run on Linux. They can still make plenty of money with their other products if/when Windows continues to lose ground to linux.
Now the region codes are just an excuse to charge more for the same thing. The slightly older, yet still very good DVD's which cost $9.99 in the US, cost 20 or 30 Euros. The Region codes are just a huge ripoff for the consumers.
Thankfully, nearly all DVD players are now easily modified to play all regions. Of course, if you live in Spain, then it's still fairly difficult to get your hands on the cheaper US DVD's.
Sure, you can make more money waiting tables at the very beginning. The big difference is that after 2 years of waiting tables, you'll still be making about the same thing.
With your new degree and skills, you'll find that that your salary will go up very quickly in the first few years. So, take the best offer. (That doesn't mean take the highest offer. Take the offer that will look best on a resume.) Get to work, and you'll do well..
This was not to suggest that the police could not have "captured" the communication -- only that they could not have done so without either a warrant or the appropriate Attorney General approval.
My guess would be that the federal monitoring tools would fall under the "appropriate Attorney General approval".
I think it means GUI's that are used from the command prompt, and GUIs that also have a command prompt, like dosshell.exe, and one of my favorites, XTREE.
No one anywhwere asks where business traveler's laptops were purchsed or asks for proof of purchase, etc..
Brazil for example charges outrageous taxes if we try to fedex a laptop there, so it's cheaper to send someone with it. Same with Russia. People do this all the time. It's not unusual.
We actually took this question to a Professor in the Education department.
We were concerned about Bon Jovi's song where he says "I'll be there for you. These five words I say to you". One person said "Ha leave it to Bon Jovi to screw that one up. It's six words." I however was convinced it was 5 words.
The whole thing got bigger than it needed to, but the professor didn't have an immediate answer.
After reviewing with some colleagues including 1 who was an attorney, the general consensus was that it was indeed 6 words. It's also a contraction, which is pronounced as 1 word, but if you diagram that sentence, you have to separate the subject and the verb.
Therefore, if you accept the decision of the Professors (and attorney), What we acutally have is Andreessen's "Why Linux will Boom in 106 words" due to the 3 contractions he used in his list.
Although, there is a good argument for either side..
I'd be surprised to learn that SCOX has 141 million dollars to repurchase shares. Of course if the price keeps droping, it will cost less, but not enough less to make any sense.
Interestingly, SCOX announced this repurchase and still closed down nearly 3%. That's got to be a first.
email addresses change. I intended to keep my @home.net address forever. I also planned on keeping my @att.net forever after they bought at home. Now we are Comcast. We will probably change several more times.
My work address has also changed several times over the last 6 years. The job is the same. The company is the same, but they keep changing the domain name, which changes the email address.
As much as we would all like to, we can't keep the same email forever..
$.25 isn't a whole lot to add on the price of those things, especially as inexpensive as they are now. I also don't see MS suing anyone over it yet either. (They may soon though. we'll see)
Had SCO owned the patent, they would have sued everyone, and be trying to charge $699 per unit or some ridiculous price...

We are dealing with commies here.
The Russian Federation is a democrocy. It has been for a long time now.

The article also said:

The article was pretty good. Take a quick look at it. :-)
One of the parties was law enforcement, and he didn't have a warrant so all the evidence was thrown out.
Tom Lehere talked about a guy named Hen3ry.
Hen3ry spelled his name that way because he was such an individualist.

I'll put it to the professor again, but off hand, (It Is Not), It Isn't would be the same situation.
again, there is a good argument for both sides., but to diagram that sentence, It would be 4 separate words.
Good point. That's very true. We have also lost laptops in shipment on several occasions.
Also, if you insure them for a value, often, many countries customs try to tax the shipment at that value.
No one anywhwere asks where business traveler's laptops were purchsed or asks for proof of purchase, etc..

That's not exactly unusual. It's not illegal or unethical either. Depending on your volume, it makes perfect sense.
Sure, but by that time, SCO will be in bankruptcy and unable to pay for any refunds.
Why isn't there a (-1 Stupid) mod?
But it doesn't execute them..
I think the (???) in Devide 2 is a 15 pin VGA style connector.

It's actually a very high res full color image, and yes it does look like mud. Check out the Pics in the Article.
My broker currently has plenty available to short.
From the article:
This cell phone jammer looks just like a cell phone
You don't see too many cell phones with two antennas sticking out of them like this thing has.
Depending on how that develops, it will have a great impact on translation software.
Imagine, using a computer to translate from one language to another, and end up with a gramatically correct result. That would be amazing..
