After reading entries like "Fatser-than-light communications" and seeing a number of misspelled words ("socendly"), I'd say the one technology they desperately need is a spellchecker!
Ahh, but you are forgetting. Microsoft was only an illegal monopoly under the Clinton administration. Under Bush, Microsoft is as innocent as Halliburton.
You want insanity? There's a story over at Byte that quotes Chris Sontag as saying, basically, that all OSes are potentially derivative of SCO's property and could be a target, including the BSDs, and possibly even Microsoft and Apple. But not Sun (Makes me wonder what McNealy has on SCO...). The direct quote is:
"We believe that UNIX System V provided the basic building blocks for all subsequent computer operating systems, and that they all tend to be derived from UNIX System V (and therefore are claimed as SCO's intellectual property)."
But another more interesting point is the German guy who saw the offending code and said that although the functions in the file do the same thing (duh), the specific code does not really match. Copyrights only cover implementation, not ideas.
Are they saying that their own citizens are too irrational and hot-headed to tolerate a fictional exploration of themes already addressed by the "three divine religions"?
Exactly how the f*** can they sue Linus for patent infringement when their press release yesterday as much as said "OK, we don't have the patents or copyrights, but it's all about the contracts!"?
I liked Darl's wording, too: "Unless people start giving us money, we'll have to sue the guy that made things hard for us."
Given that the article is written by and for people whose server needs begins with their mp3 collection and ends with games, that statement might make sense.
I got the feeling that real-world practicality wasn't much of a concern. This is nothing more than "We did it because we could, and we had money to burn."
Given the sheer number of programming errors that can lead to security vulnerabilities, it probably makes sense to learn from the company that has tried them all.

Building encryption and authentication software for businesses that require a secure network?
Of course it's scary. Why do you think it's abbreviated as WinCE?
Ancible networks are very bandwidth constrained
Well, that's because the signal attenuation is horrible beyond a few million light-years. And that's assuming you have your quanta properly entangled.

I'd refute that, but my heating ducts need work, and I'm waiting for a Heating Engineer to be dispatched. Some guy named Tuttle.
"Voracious veracity?"
"Pestiferous profanity?"
My aural sense has never been assailed with such hyperbole!
With a printer that size, might we start to see magnums of "ink"?
Ha! A self-referential joke! I'll just go lie down and die now - there's no way I can sink any lower.
Why hasn't this been shot down in the Supreme Court by now
Because there aren't any cases before the Supreme Court.
then again there an outnumbering amount of Republicans, well we should balence that next election.
Supreme Court justices aren't elected, and their appointments are for life.
that your printer doesn't require a magnum of ink!
How do they know the supposed LEO isn't channeling Jon Lovitz?
"Hi. My name is...Bob...Jones...yeah, that's it. And I'm a detective...that's the ticket. And I need information about a seller..."
What happens when your one beastly computer goes down?

I think SCO has a straw man.

Talk about advancing a stereotype!

I mean, the guy's just whining now.
Actually, nearly every proposed idea eliminated the tiles in favor of newer technologies.
Finally, software that does what it's told!
Did you hear about this RFC for an "evil" bit in the IPv4 headers?
Did you forget last year? It was just as lame and obvious.
Man, this is worse than last year.
...of this
The newsletter actually says "Note: This is an April Fool's joke." I mean, if you have to explain the joke...
Well, I figure you'd need glasses with this special material too, to actually make out the individual buttons on the phone.
Good news! They just created this lens with a negative index of refraction that might make that possible!
Oh, wait...

Can't argue with that!
