I can just imagine the.NET nuthouse code added on, for MSN users. Then again think of all the fun the script kiddies would have at the expense of MS users. Might put a whole new meaning to surfing the.NET. It would surf you!
If they make a movie out of the Cathedral and the Bazaar I would thing it would feature lots of BSOD images. The most truthfull of all the visual cues.
Woa this is important. This is the first steps toward Star Drek like medical scanning. If you can scan for drugs then in future you can certainly scan for more complex bio substances. If the scanning is non destructive to cell structure then it will be a quantum leap in medical imaging, diagnostics and drug therapy monitoring. Good for the Japanese techs! I am sure they are aware of the implications of this tech. On the flip side it will be invaluable tech for sensing hidden harmful radio actives not just drugs. Only way to get it past customs would be with lead shielding, which in itself gives away the show.
The last thing that Sarc and Symantec want is effective OSS pro active worm and virus software. It might cut into their bullshit AV security pie too much! There is nothing wrong in notifying users that they are infected, it is the one thing that might help stop worms. I have had to tell my Aunt that I keep getting silly.exe's in mail from her. If there was an automated way to tell her I would do it. What is really a hoot is to wine./ the crap binary and watch it smoke my X session. If it doesn't smoke my X session then I check to see what the hell it is trying to do with eth0 down.
is if the pda has text to speach, you could insert the famous Gates rant to the Home Brew just to get a laugh. It would most likely sound like him too! That would give you w(h)ine on your pocket pc. Though I doubt you could parse a good enough inflection algorythm I'm sure it would sound like him anyway.
Yes, the code base does not matter, in their eyes. I think Longhorn is just going to be a bells and whistles OS. It will not really exibit innovation as far as the Windows GUI goes. The innovation will be restricting the 'home' version so that it will not compile squat. We have already seen the beginnings of this with XP. If they can release a very limited eye-candy version that consumers gotta have then that is what they will do. Take a look at the dev site, you will not see any of the security or integration to networking specs, except to say what the OS will do for your music and picture/media files. It is not targeted at servers or even home businesses at all. You can bet it will be cheap even in 64 bit version. It might even be for 32 and 64, at the same price. But the proffessional edition, that can run compilers will cost through the nose.
The reason why you see coke being drunk in movies is that coke ponies up. My take is that MS just doesn't come across with the cash! They could be all over the silver screen if they decide it will help them. Seeing that they are already in the Media business big time they don't need it. They get you at home, hell they even get you on/. Why should they shell out on movies that might not even be on the screen for longer than 2-3 weeks. MS does not gamble with advert dollars. The movies that are by leading directors and will star name actors have companies pounding at the door with check book in hand, trying to out bid each other. Seems MS does not play this game, yet. If Longhorn turns out to be a consumer flop, you can bet that this will change. Bill will suddenly warm up to the movie media big time.
From what I am seeing this version of Windows is only targeted at mouse clicking morons. I think that MS is trying desperately to separated their server and business OS from Windows home users. I would not be supprised if Longhorn will not even fun a compiler when it finally gets released. When the most important alpha features are playlists and pictures, the interest in this software for hackers will be nil.
What would they do if they found 'The Sound Of One Hand Clapping'. Hey do you realise that J Cage does own a the copywrite for the sheet music to his Silence. So it is illegal for you to Photo Copy and destribute for the purpose of performance a copy Silence! Thats why it's so fsck'n noisey in todays world I guess.
Recursion of free speech is shut the f.. up I am caught in a copywritten algorythm that does recursive post reference. I think I will go have a cigarette. SCO is getting funnier by the minuite. I once did see Dog, while I was on acid. Cut it out guys I'm dyslexic...I might be having a flash back, or maybe it's a slashback-backslash.
Now we get down to the brass tacks of why SCO is receiving support from MS. Now the beast is revealed. SCO, through this suit, is out to help void the GPL. They are little more than an industry sponsored Judas goat. I wonder how big the total payoffs really are for this bit of skullduggery.
If they win we can all stick are heads between our legs and send money to Redmond. If the polititians and judges are bought off to this extent, then it is the signal that the largest part of the software industry has become a corruptor of human rights and perhaps even the very Constitution which it relies upon for freedom of enterprise.
Voiding the right of lawfull property owners to do as they see fit with their property, even give it away, would be a grave blow to the American Constitution. This blow could become fatal. I cannot believe that a sworn officer of the courts will alow this to happen. SCO, the corporation and proprietary Unix is going to die, soon. A very bleak and blue screen of death.
Thanks for the info.. I thought that was the reason! Windows code using wierd calls seemed like a more sensible answer. It is a hoot to watch anyway. I guess a more productive thing would be to log it and send the messages to Wine users groups. I don't run wine anymore but it would be fun to track lame.exe's like Gator binaries with it just for the hell of it. I wonder if the new activeX bullshit will work? I hear some of the most nasty new script garbage is really out there with activeX controls leading the way. My brother in law gets nailed regularly, he has a habit of clicking on everything and always runs XP Pro as admin, the goof. I think he is a bit of a masochist. He has had to off everything atleast 10 times in the last two years. He always blames something else other than Windows... He might be right!
I ran an infected e-mail file in wine once just for the hell of it. All it did was crash X. What a hoot. It was a non conforming sys file command that matched the X logout sequence! I wish that I had saved it, it would be fun to reverse the exe and use it as an RPC to fry X users! But Linux guys don't do things like that....right. I can just imagine the confusion and fear that Windows users feel when they experience an X crash for the first time and not see a comforting blue screen. Must be like going to hell learning how to type startx.
In the case of Slack pico the wine/X crash log first just so you see how silly the code that was run really was. Since using Slack for the past year I have not had one single X crash and very few freezes that I didn't deserve! I think I will reinstall Wine so I can feel the happiness of being a crash tester again. I miss the adventure of running shitty windows binaries and dlls under Linux. Although MANY GNUbies can/. few know how to./
In case you have not noticed most gov docs are available in PDF which is already an open format. That is the next big target Redmond will focus on, after crushing Linux, Adobe is next. The EU knows this so does Adobe. Hell the very fact that MS office or Windows does not include a PDF reader should clue most people in.
Sounds like the complaints of another disgruntled overclocker. I suggest you go to an OCA meeting.... OVERCLOCKERS ANONYMOUS Get it out of your system you like to be able fry eggs on your MB, or heat your room. You like it when your screen suddenly freezes or you have to quicly shut the power off before the smoke starts! This kind of destructive behaviour can be unlearned!
Unless you have emergency vehicle light and horns this would be useless. The way they are meant to work is to turn the light red in all directions. So you would have to run a red to use the device anyway. Sorry would be hackers the deck is stacked, and those stupid enough to play this game would fare better in Vegas.
The problem is a "Pigs in paradise attitude" that comes with todays (ME FIRST) ethics. Might as well just give in and let the assholes do their thing. We tolerate this kind of behaviour in business so whats the difference. I have driven bus and truck proffessionaly when I was younger. I quit because of this. Life is too short, and my sanity is more important! It got so bad that when someone deliberately sped up coming through a light towards me, so they would not miss the stale light I did something very unproffessional: I started to look them straight in the eye and pretend to turn the wheel and excellerate. This would usually cause the asshole to leave some rubber on the pavement, thinking that I was actually going to cut them off with 100,000 LBs plus of MACK.
Needless to say common sense got the better of me and I realised that another line of work was called for. Driving by intimidation "me first" is for assholes not pros. Emergency vehicle drivers need to be given the right of way PERIOD. This law cannot change, otherwise the carnage of today will be nothing compared to what will happen with assholes using this device.
"Specifically, IBM improperly contributed these protected UNIX materials into the Linux 2.4 and 2.5 kernels (in lay terms, the "brain" of the operating system)--a decidedly public disposition of these protected materials."
So if I read this correctly; The SMP process core code that IBM alledgedly appropriated and then contributed to Linux are the problem? Or is the idea that SMP code is not the issue? As I read the SMP procedural call they seem to be quite generic, the code for ALPHA, smp.h and all the other SMP libs seem to be based around essentially the same sets of procedure. If SMP procedure is not patented then SCO has not got a leg to stand on, and deserves swift economic death! Which will surely happen if they stop receiving fudge funds from Redmond.

Copywrite is the correct term in the USA, because it was written in crayon by Ferengies.
What would they do if they found 'The Sound Of One Hand Clapping'. Hey do you realise that J Cage does own a the copywrite for the sheet music to his Silence. So it is illegal for you to Photo Copy and destribute for the purpose of performance a copy Silence! Thats why it's so fsck'n noisey in todays world I guess.

If the OS for the glasses comes from Redmond it will flash "Save Money With Windows Server 2003" just like ./ banner adds.
