If the code was copied into Linux, then it would be in one of the Linux releases. Since these are available from multiple sources, the fact that IBM deleted their copies wouldn't matter.
If it was code that never reached Linux, then what's wrong? Are they complaining that IBM didn't copy code into Linux?
If true, IBM discovered some coders copying from the Unix source, and says "don't do that", and removes the offending code before it ever got out. It apparently never made it to Linux, or SCO would be able to show it in the Linux listings. Sounds like they are complaining that IBM didn't allow the Unix source to be copied into Linux. It just sounds like the IBM code police were doing their job,
So, SCO's case now seems to be: They could have copied Unix code into Linux, but they didn't. Anyway, we want money.
Can you imagine what your life would be like if you did prove the Tooth Fairy existed? Never mind the media attention; governments suddenly will be *very* interested in you. The last thing you'd do is give yourself away.
So, you obviously also believe in Santa Claus, trolls, fairy godmothers, flying butt monkeys, and nasal deamons.
Since "psycics" ccan read minds, they can easily avoid those with sinister motives. All they have to do is read their mind, and they would know what they are, and how to avoid them.
Since they haven't made themselves known to you, we obviously know what kind of person you are.
I have it on good authority (mother), that the sharpest object is a pair of sizzers in the hands of a running child. They are capable of poking out an eye at over three hundred feet.
These spyware programs must talk to their host, so why hasn't someone reverse engineered the protocol, and written a program to flood them with crap. Make it look like someone clicked on their ad's a million times. Report back as a billion infected machines. If their statistics always come up as crap, their "customers" might get pissed off enough to quit paying them. It might also help to mask information being stolen from real people.
I bought a car, and never had any problems with it. I've only had to replace the fuel pump, the water pump, and the intake manifold gaskets. Nope, never had any problems at all, just like your Windows system.
Newsflash: the whole point is that one, by definition, cannot be held liable for crimes abroad if he/she was not physically there while commiting them.
So, it's Ok if I mail you an explosive device from a foreign country. Since I'm not physically there when it explodes, killing you and your entire family, I can't be held liable.
If I want to kill someone, I can just mail them a bomb, and not be there when he opens the package. If I'm not there, I'm free and clear.
And if I call someone on the phone, and threaten to kill them unless they send me money, that is Ok too, since I'm not right there.
The ease of him doing so is inexcusable. That's the point here.
A pervert throws a brick through your front window, and gains entry to your house. All he does is photocopy your diary, and rummage through your underwear drawer (taking photographs of your lacy bits).
It was very easy for him to do; therefore, you say he shouldn't be punished?
You know, it was on a Saturday night, after a really long week, and I have never drank that much before, and I honestly don't remember what all happened for the rest of that weekend. I swear, they told me they were over 16...
There are a lot of things that you can say that will put you in jail. If you don't believe me, walk up to the President and say "I'm going to shoot you in the head and kill you". You'll be in for the surprise of your life.
When students express concern about the actions of a teacher, they are, more often than not, told to sit down and shut up. But when a teachers expresses completely irrational fear, the school takes action. Why the double standard?
Did the teacher scream "I'm going to shoot you in your f***g head and kill you" to your hypothetical student? If he did, do you thing your student should be concerned about it, or should he just consider it to be a funny joke? If you think the student would be bothered by such an action, why shouldn't the teacher feel the same when the reverse occurs?
Why do you believe that the teacher is the ass, and not the student? He is probably one of those students that answers every question the teacher asks with "F**k You", and frequently urinates on other students. His parents probably taught him this behaviour, and think it's extremely funny... See, I can pull "facts" out of the air to demonize the student, just like you do for the teacher. It doesn't make any of it likely, or true.
"Free speach" doesn't mean that you can get away with saying anything. Look up "libel", "slandor", and "yelling 'fire' in a crowded movie theater." There are many limits to "free speach" already, and a lot more if the Democrats get their way.
If you took a letter to a teacher that said "Give me all your money or I'll kill you", would you consider that be a similiar form of "free speach"? This one just leaves off the "Give me money" part. Would you take such a "give me money" to a bank, and then argue "free speach"?
Since Columbine, and the assorted copy-cat events, schools have to take threats like this seriously. There are only two possible interpretations of his "icon". If he himself wasn't planning on doing the deed, he was at least advertising for it to be done.
1. Vista is so terribly bad, that he doesn't want to be involved/connected with it. 2. He is getting religion, and knows he is so burdened with evil that he needs to spend the rest of his life trying to make up for it. 3. His wife is winning. "You do this, or no sex for you."
Haven't you watched ANY of those informational movies about Global Warming? We all know what's going to happen. The wolves are going to excape from the zoo! We're all doomed at that point.
and started a killing rampage to feed his nine children.
Did he get enough meat off those starving Iraquis to feed his nine kids? Or is this about some kind of bounty paid for dead Iraquis? Let us all know, as many here are looking for unique investment opportunities like these.
You never used a MicroSoft machine before the Internet explosion, right?
Virus were quite common when it was just MS-DOS, traveling from computer to computer on floppy disks. They couldn't handle the problem then, and they still can't handle the problem. But now, they want more money for an external hack that attempts to fix it after the fact, when it should already have been delt with in the core of the operating system.
They've given up trying to fix the problem, now they're trying to make it a revenue stream. How hard do you really expect them to work on these problems now, when fixing them would reduce their income?
You don't expect an auto mechanic do also do the accounting and sales for the dealership; neither should you expect the comptroller to do a valve job.
From the article, he had several engineers work on the problem. None of his MicroSoft employees could do anything.
It shows you that they have no ability nor experience within MicroSoft to deal with the problem, even with access to the source code. People have been complaining about this very problem for years, yet none of their engineers have ever looked into it before? Does that make you feel good about their "solution" to this problem in the next version of Windows?
Theres a box attached to the phone system that is connected to a room that he does not have access to, and he only knows of one person who does have acess to it. Therefore, there is obviously a top-secret NSA spy program illegally operating out of that room at the direct request of George Bush who wants to listen to you talking to your grandmother about her bunions.
There is absolutely no possibility that it's something like an AT&T monitoring system to make sure that its employees are not committing fraud, hackers are not abusing the network, etc... Obviously, if it were something like that, AT&T would want to let everyone know exactly how such a monitering program worked (so that they would know how to bypass it). What are the chances that a low paid, low level engineer, would ever sell such extremely useful information to bad guys?
You have a bell tower? Didn't you know that those bells have a tendancy to fall through the ceiling, killing everyone below them! It's true, I've seen it happen in enough old westerns and in those disaster movies to know it's true! They also attract lightning bolts! And then there's all those nasty bats!
Untill they remove that tower, you better leave that church, taking your tithes with you, and encourage the other members to do the same! Explain to them about the bats in your belfry, I'm sure they'll understand.

For some reason this post sounded odd to me, sorta like:
Nice little tip you got there. Be a shame if something happened to it. You wouldn't want anything to happen to it, would ya?
But I still love the idea as long as my Linux and Windows can run beside each other and behave, it makes development much nicer.
Linux to run programs, and Windows to automatically download and install virus, worms, trojans, adware, and infect everything with them.
These spyware programs must talk to their host, so why hasn't someone reverse engineered the protocol, and written a program to flood them with crap. Make it look like someone clicked on their ad's a million times. Report back as a billion infected machines.

This is going to make viewing pr0n interesting......
Be careful of which arm you put it on, or you could get very frustrated.
my first thoughts on this...
1. Vista is so terribly bad, that he doesn't want to be involved/connected with it.
2. He is getting religion, and knows he is so burdened with evil that he needs to spend the rest of his life trying to make up for it.
3. His wife is winning. "You do this, or no sex for you."
NOBODY knows what will REALLY happen
Haven't you watched ANY of those informational movies about Global Warming? We all know what's going to happen. The wolves are going to excape from the zoo! We're all doomed at that point.
and atleast seven shades of brown.
... We've got ...

Humm
1. BS brown.
2. Crap brown.
3. Sh*t brown.
4. Dog Crap brown
5. Bull Crap brown
Ok, I'm having a hard time figuring out what the other thwo shades are
You mean, like this: http://www.rinkworks.com/stupid/
