    No, in Russia Tornado does not own you. Neither does ISP. It is not, step 1) tornado step 2) ??? step 3) ISP recovers. There is not a beowulf cluster of these, and the tornado doesn't run Linux.

    In all honesty so did I. Technically the graphics don't even belong to GameSpot, they belong to Electronic Arts but I don't have the time nor money to fight it... Here is a snippet:

    >> Does it still use the SCO licensed code in it ?

    'still' would mean that it did in earlier versions. This has not been proven, and based on all of the information we have seen (as in code presented in that PowerPoint slideshow) does not lead to the conclusion that the 2.4 kernel contains any code that is 'owned' by SCO.

    Naw, I'm thinking SCO may have packed up and bailed. Taken down the servers, covred the windows with newspaper and signs that say 'under renovation'.

    Office v. X on MAC has the same functionality, you can't run another copy on the same subnet (network?) if they have the same serial. That is a good thing and doesn't infringe on anyones privacy.

    I'd still like to know what publisher does this, and if my company is a customer of this company which decides to spy on our systems without permission then I would a) ensure we move to another software vendor and b) make the company aware of why we choose to move to another vendor.
