The problem is money. There will be an extended DVD with scenes, we already know this. As for the movie and the non-extended SUPPOSED to be the same, it wouldn't be unheard of for a company (believe it or not, Hollywood is in it for the money) to go against tradition and make changes to the film.
Secondly, DVDs being distributed? If so, I would imagine illegally and that the DVDs themselves haven't entered mass production meaning they could easily be changed.
a) The footage is already complete and edited, as they were likely going to use it for the DVD
b) I worked in a movie theatre about 5-6 years back as a kid, movies would be updates in several cases AFTER it has already opened. We would recieve a new reel with additional/removed footage to replace the original reel with.

What do you see for the future of RedHat Linux (non-Enterprise) users. Will your company be actively involved in the development/support/fixing of issues that arrise with Fedora, or is Fedora in the hands of a group that is only accountable to itself in terms of development/support/fixing. (Will you be officially distancing yourself from Fedora in the future (2+ years).

If they weren't available to be bought out, why would their lawyers stand to make 50 million or more. Obviously this is a way of ending the the stand off that SCO is comfortable with.
I however would prefer that instead of being rewarded for this behaviour, if (when) SCO loses they should all go to federal pound me in the ass prison.
At my office we had PowerCast deploy center. It was a support environment and laptops were reimaged 5 times a day.
a) We made sure the machines had network cards which supported booting from network (pxe...)
b) When connected to this network, it retrieved and mounted a boot disc which contained the correct network drivers for the machine
c) we used brand name laptops (ibm thinkpads) and IBM provided a utility to probe the bios and return the model-type designation which tells us what kind of machine that is, that was tied in to the powerquest drive image script which automatically began restoring the image to hard disk with no intervention other then an enter key (which was put there by choice, it could easily be done without any intervention)
Setups like this are possible but they take time to perfect.

Perhaps Microsoft should spend some more money on fixing their own products instead of trying to bring down others, it's turned in to a politcal compaign for them.

There response was fine, but this issue is WAY over-hyped. While you see this every 8 hours, that only happens if you don't click the 'don't show this again' option. Then it's gone forever. This issue has been way over-hyped and it is a non-issue. They offered you a product/service, you decline it, and you never see it again. There are MUCH WORSE WAYS THEY COULD HAVE GONE ABOUT THIS.
Here is a snippet from usenet with Belkin's response:
We elected to re-direct one http request to the "Register Now" reminder page. (There is a link in a previous posting if you want to see it) This page asks the user to register for the service for a free 6 month trial. Now, granted this looks like an ad. It should, it is intended to be informative and easy enough to understand. At this point, the user can register or click "No Thanks". Clicking "No Thanks" sets a flag in the Router to stop the Router from re-directing every 8 hours to the reminder page.
In summary, you have to click 'no thanks' ONCE and you'll never see the thing again unless you do a hard reset of the router.
As redundant as this is, (and I'm waiting), this little toolbar is worth the install. Has a very small foot print, gives you a plain english yes/no question asking if google can record information on pages you visit (which contributes to their page ranking system) and allows you with one click to enable pop-ups on specific sites (and remembers those specific sites).

I was actually kinda hoping we'd hear more about SCO going after Hollywood. Hollywood has the cash to stand up against this with no worries.
