Actually you are quite right. To my knowledge the IT-industry are still using giant trucks loaded with storage to transfer data backups between datacenters. This method of transfering *huge* amounts of data will probably be faster than the pipes any datacenter have in place until the fibreoptical networks are so large and widespread that not having fibre in your household will be like not having a cellphone in mainland Europe.
Todays technology may limit what we can store on a magnetized bit storage system, but I do belive that by the time we hit this limit we will be able to store memories from a human mind in realtime. I think that the storagedevice it self may actually be something quite other than what we today think of as "storagedevices", some kind of human-looking clones perhaps? Lets not forget about Terminator II just yet:-)
Since the goatse.cx website was taken down the contributed 'art' refering to the somewhat adult graphics on the page have been popping up all over the Internet. The Finish TLD admins doesn't seem to mind the whole thing as pages like www.goatse.fi (Warning: adult graphics) have popped up all over.
It may be so that Open Soruce not will solve the problem of Aids directly, nor make foreign corporations invest in Africa. But, in a continent with loads of civil wars, and a problematic infrastructure it is very promising that people can get together and create positive things! As many of us will never set foot on the African continent all we can do is help out the way we can:
Through Open Source projects the rest of the world can aid african Open Soruce developers in their efforts to bring Linux to the desktops and homes of millions. Donations, project development and the likes comes to mind.
In deed you are correct. With your and other posters charts it's very clear who is dropping. I'm wondering about buying a few SCO stocks tho, when they reach 0.02$ or so, just to have something to tell my grandchildren about in 50 years:>
I don't know about the rest of you, but to me this seems to be one of the late very desperate moves by the SCO to prove they have a business here.
Lets just take a look at their current stock-price? This url [nasdaq.com] trully shows who's dropping here. It's for sure that SCO now seem desperate, and for a reason. Their business is dying, and so are their case.
1. When you post something like this, what do you expect? You're only asking for flaming with a post like this. Get real.
2. The url you 'try' to point out are http://tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html
3. The url above clearly states what a hacker is; "The hacker mind-set is not confined to this software-hacker culture. There are people who apply the hacker attitude to other things, like electronics or music -- actually, you can find it at the highest levels of any science or art. Software hackers recognize these kindred spirits elsewhere and may call them "hackers" too -- and some claim that the hacker nature is really independent of the particular medium the hacker works in. But in the rest of this document we will focus on the skills and attitudes of software hackers, and the traditions of the shared culture that originated the term `hacker'."
there are also lots of definitions of the term hacker in the jargon file, also found at ESR's page.

Isn't that kind of the whole point with posting urls at slashdot?
If you had bothered to paste the first part of the whois you would display the fact that Kremen can not change the domain himself anymore:
Domain Name: SEX.COM
Registrar: NETWORK SOLUTIONS, INC.
Whois Server: whois.networksolutions.com
Referral URL: http://www.networksolutions.com
Name Server: NS2.PERSIANKITTY.COM
Name Server: NS1.SEX.COM
Status: REGISTRAR-LOCK
Updated Date: 03-dec-2003

Expiration Date: 17-oct-2012
I guess it's just going to sit like that until NSI decides that it's time for the real owner to have control back.
