Thing is, since this involves a third party, in the form of Linus Torvalds et al., might they be entitled to the infringing code, so that they can confirm origins and need for removal?
IANAL. Depending on how weird the legal system is, either Linus or IBM will remove the code from the kernel.
If so, it would be extremely easy for us to determine what the infringing code is, since all we'd have to do is compare an allegedly infringing kernel with a 'clean' kernel, note the changes that are voluntary improvements, and look at the rest...
The BSDi vs. USL settlement is also sealed but we know what changes happened in the BSD source tree afterwords.
No matter what we won't see the full evidence if it is sealed, we will only see the exact infringements in the Linux code.
IANAL, but I believe in cases were trade secrets are required to come out for the purposes of having a fair trial the Judge can have that evidence sealed so that it doesn't become part of the public record.
Dell ships you a half dozen CDs. The first one is window reinstall. Then there is a drivers, utilities, and diagnostics one. And the a few application CDs. You don't have to reinstall everything, in fact IIRC the windows reinstall disc doesn't even remind you to go install drivers. Which could catch some people off guard.
This all assumes they didn't change it in the last year.
I hate to seem all conspiracy theorist about it, but the only way such a law will be past is if 3/4 of the state legislatures put it in the constitution. Congress isn't gonna pass a law that limits how long they can squat. Now the states may be filled with politicians too, but hopefully you can appeal to their greed, if they put a term limit on Congress, maybe they can move up to Congress faster...
FIRST Robotics uses a VB app for the scoring updates during the competitions. Seeing one with a VB runtime DLL error of some sort wasn't uncommon back when I participated in them.
Thinking on the computer virus side I like this Hawking quote: "I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image."

Did SCO change it? (not that im accusing them, but this happens alot online)
Nothing is available in Google's cache or the Internet Archiver (well nothing useful, unless you want to see Caldera's old site)

Compaq minitowers right? I got one of those sitting around somewhere.
You lucky son of a bitch!
I'm still trying for a simple Ultra10
what is scarier, you thought of it, or somebody did it

No, it started as an American network, it is most definetly and INTERNATIONAL network at this point.
Martian dust storms?

I don't think they can sue a judge, not that they wouldn't try.
It is people like you that get the highways clogged with oversized load trailers!

And what, that VersaPak was only 3.6V, you still regretted shoving your finger in it.
The burden of proof is always on the accuser. Well according to the Constitution it is, but lets not get into that....
Same as with someone's car.
Proving who is on the machine is very difficult though.
This is the first GNU/Linux troll I've laughed at.
What is the Lanham Act anyway? I find two references to it at law.cornell.edu but the links don't point to the actual part of US law that they affect.
Lets just hope that SCO doesn't have a royal flush :)
IIRC the screen is green on the XBox
This machine was just for using Office crap and a few older games. And it did this on it's own just sitting overnight every day.
Anyone know if /. posted this one 5 year ago?
I hope it wasn't in the story queue for 5 years.
I second that! WinXP was up to one BSOD per day and I just nuked it completely. Technically the files were deleted in the process.
The nice thing is the incredible amount of space that freed up for more stuff. Like the OpenBSD 3.4 installation stuff.
