At home I pay £15 a month for up to a gigabyte a day (averaged over a few days, not capped). $3 a GB isn't the worst I've seen, but it's not that great. If you ever actually use that bandwidth you can go through the monthly 5 GB in under 10 minutes!
GCC didn't "adopt" ELF. The GNU toolchain (GCC, gas and binutils) supports many different OSes, including those based on SVR4 (Solaris, OpenServer, etc), and many different executable file formats. Now suppose that SCO holds a patent that covers ELF. I think GNU would be in the clear because the ELF support is useful to SVR4 users who already have a patent license. Distributors of the Linux kernel and GNU tools would need to get a license, though.
However, this all a lot of speculation based on something that ESR dashed off and which clearly doesn't quite make sense as written. I don't see any mention of ELF in any news reports, or of patents.
Currently the spammer is likely to be sending a few thousand copies of the email to someone else's mail server, each specified as being for a few hundred recipients. The mail server expands this to a million copies.
Plus ofcource the posible implications for Linux patent violations at large such as forinstance the ELF binary format (SCO claims its a derivative of COFF), and other area's of linux..
COFF and ELF were both invented by Unix System Laboratories (for SVR3 and SVR4 respectively) so I don't see why it matters whether they are related. SCO will own any IP relating to either of them.
Notepad was updated in Windows 2000 - they added keyboard shortcuts, the option to save with a specific character encoding, and some other useful features.
One of my cow-orkers showed me the other day that it has weird bugs relating to word-wrap that have been in there for ages, though.
Your figures are out of date. The current rates are, in short: 0% on the personal allowance of £4615 (more for old people, those with children, and some other groups), 10% on the next £1920, 22% on the next £28070, and 40% above that. You need to earn at least £34515 to pay anything at the higher rate.
Python will also catch reading of a variable before it has been assigned to. Python does not have a 'use strict' directive. Are you sure you know which languages you're talking about?
Most Japanese phones are sold on a contract, with a highly subsidised up-front cost (sometimes just 1 yen) but the average monthly charges (ARPU) are around $50 (though this has gradually fallen from more like $100 a few years ago).
E.164 phone numbers are international. They begin with a country code, which in the case of the US happens to be exactly the same as the long-distance prefix.
A bank is a private institution. If they require that you piss into a cup in order to open an account, that is their business. Banking sign up procedures and the issuing of a mandatory ID card really do not overlap, and that is the point.
This is not a matter of the private policies of individual banks. The Bank of England requires its clients, i.e. the UK banks, to make these identity checks. They have been tightened up further recently, apparently to prevent terrorist organisations using other people's identities for money-laundering. It's a total pain in the ass for anyone immigrating to the UK.
Do you not understand the meaning of the term "undefined behaviour" in the C and C++ standards? It certainly does include the possibility of internal errors and "wrongly" compiled code. Of course it is preferable for the compiler to report an error instead, but there is no general requirement for it to do so.
The Debian project never has distributed mplayer. However, an individual Debian developer has built Debian packages of mplayer and made them available on his own site.
In fact you get undefined behaviour when you cast a value of unsigned type to the corresponding signed type and the value is out of range. Usually you'll just get a negative result though.

There was nothing illegal about the Chester page they removed from the index. It seems that Google will bow to very little pressure.

Plus the extra RAM will require more power and run the batteries down faster.
Your customer base rose by a factor of 16 million (= 2**24)?

I'm already running one of those. You can't run another inside it.

There are BIOSes that support a serial console, e.g. in Intel's ISP series of 1U servers.
The "PC Enter button" is actually a Return (carriage return, CR) key. Some keyboards correctly label it as such.

Don't forget the OpenTV middleware.

Unix is snake oil

It isn't a virus because it doesn't spread from ordinary users' machines. It is in a different category of "potentially unwanted applications".

You surely know that the retail price has to be rather higher than the wholesale price in order for the retailer to break even.
Surely an album with one good song would sell far fewer copies than a single? Do people really buy many albums like that?
