"Caminiti argues that the cost of the hydrogen/solar setup works out at about $4,000 a year when its $100,000 cost is spread over the anticipated 25-year lifespan of the equipment. That's still a lot higher than the $1,500 a year the average U.S. homeowner spends on energy, according to the federal government."
Sure, I support this statement. Just tell the profs to stop surfing pr0n and downloading pirated software thus getting their systems riddled with spyware. Then everything will be fine.
This post should be modded up - for the last paragraph alone...
EBay is no longer an "auction site". It is a virtual mall where people jump on, selling drop-ship crap with the thought that they will make millions and be financially secure.
Long gone are the days where you see actual "auction" items for sale.
At the risk of sounding like a troll, its become increasingly clear that anything that gets posted about Google on the Internet automatically ends up on/. This is becoming a near daily event.
C'mon, there's way more interesting stuff going on in the world than hearing about yet another "brainstorm idea" at Google thats going to net them another billion.
What I got from that trial is this: It doesn't matter how many cameras you have on an incident, how well the quality of video was, or what angle the cameras were when shooting, it all comes down to how well those videos can be torn apart by a competent defense team.
For as grueling as that video was played out, people became desensitized to its content - including the jury.
I agree that it would take money away from SCO, but insurance companies like this one THRIVES on companies like SCO to sell their product. For example, if it wasn't for the threat of fire, there would be no reason to buy fire insurance.
Who knows, (start of conspiracy theory) this could be part of the Canopy Group's 'master plan'. Canopy could be backing this, so whether you deal with SCO at $699 or buy insurance for x # of $$, Canopy could be laughing all the way to the bank...
I dunno about these folks at Sun, but the "Users and Groups" icon under 'Software and Services' section reaks of chauvinistism.
Just so happens that the male has a beard and the female is blond. Why can't the guy look something like Commander Data from Star Trek and the girl be like Pam Anderson... er... Hilary Clinton??
Good idea. Do your programs have music in them like those little midi-style songs? If so, you'll get twice the amount since you'll also be considered the creator of that music.
If SCO KNEW that they had a winning case, the leach lawyers wouldn't be telling McBride to go to Japan, they would be telling McBride to 'sit back and watch everyone switch to Linux cuz you can then sue their asses off too!'
" The problem is, this ain't gonna be cheap, especially if you buy one of the enterprise Linux's mentioned."
Who do you think will buy this product? Certainly not "Mom and Pop" shops. Novell is offering solutions to 'Enterprises'. That being those companies who have performed the necessary feasability studies and confirmed that Linux is the way to go. Its those companies who don't see the enterprise Linux license to be all that expensive compared to what else is available.
Novell will probably offer a 'per seat' license scheme for its products and bunch them together as an all-in-one pack. To the enterprise who has just committed to Linux servers, Novell's solutions will be cheap beyond comparison.
Know what the really funny thing is? IBM may just let the license lapse, continue to support their existing AIX customers and roll out a new version of AIX with abosolutely no UNIX code in it - lust Linux. SCO wouldn't have a pot to piss in then...
"Even if there are some similarities between SCO's code and Linux's code how can SCO prove that it was stolen from SCO and not vice versa?"
There should be some record of changes or change controls logged with dates and a list of what actually was changed, with of course, the actual date-stamped file. This would be SCO's ace if that can be shown in court. In fact, the court should demand this kind of documentation be presented.

Best and most easy-to-understand explanation I've seen on this. Thanks for posting the link!
I don't have to prove anything. I could have just as easily said "MAYBE" it died from a UFO attack. I'm not stupid. You just can't read.
..because of all the polution we're dumping into the oceans.
From the article:
"Caminiti argues that the cost of the hydrogen/solar setup works out at about $4,000 a year when its $100,000 cost is spread over the anticipated 25-year lifespan of the equipment. That's still a lot higher than the $1,500 a year the average U.S. homeowner spends on energy, according to the federal government."
Still interesting tho.
Hey! Can I come work for you?! Your school sounds much *quieter* than the one I'm working at now...

Call it what it is. Move on.
McAfee is still around? I'm surprised...
Apart from the time scale involved, this isn't all that new. Scientific American had an article [sciam.com] on this over a year ago.
There we go. How much more proof of matter slowing down do you need than this?

I've been beta testing Microsoft software since I PURCHASED DOS 2.0...
"And how do they know what an illegal copy looks like? Are they deleting every song on my computer that doesn't have DRM on it?"
Easy. They check for signs of virus and worm code that seems to come with all P2P shared files these days.

"Using the new standard, computer users could share small files containing information about music, video or other data, but not the content itself."
WOW!! That sounds exciting! We definately need something like this around! I'm sure millions will be subscribing to this service.

You've got it all wrong. It simply fills in the sentence:
If the RIAA can get money, SOCAN we.

Hmmmm....

Now, wouldn't that be kool, eh?
Yeah, sorry about that - guess I didn't read far enough :-/
