    This memo describes a protocol suite which supports an infinite number of monkeys that sit at an infinite number of typewriters in order to determine when they have either produced the entire works of William Shakespeare or a good television show. The suite includes communications and control protocols for monkeys and the organizations that interact with them.

  8. Re:slashbot on New Documents Shed Light on Microsoft's Tactics · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Here are some priceless quotations from emails by Bill Gates regarding DRDOS:

    "DOS being fairly cloned has had a dramatic impact on our pricing for DOS. I wonder if we would have it around 30-40% higher if it wasn't cloned. I bet we would!" (August 6, 1989)

    "I doubt they [Digital Research] will be able to clone Windows. It is very difficult to do technically, we have made it a moving target and we have some visual copyright and patent protection. I believe people underestimate the impact DR-DOS has had on us in terms of pricing." (May 18, 1989)

    For a considerably more indepth analysis of the DRDOS question from the Caldera lawsuit checkout: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/2000/02/07 /schulman.html

    What originally annoyed me about the parent post about DRDOS was the "AARD" code that was present in the beta versions of Windows 3.1. Schulman wrote a book called Undocumented DOS 2 which went into great depth to expose this seemingly unnecessary code in WIN.COM.

    Here is a link that has an article: http://www.ddj.com/documents/s=1030/ddj9309d/

    There are a lot of examples of Microsoft abuse but DRDOS is one of the most obvious that exist in recent memory, IMO.

  14. Don't think Microsoft is beaten here on Microsoft vs. Northwest Schools Part II · · Score: 1

    Nobody think that an open bar here and an "I'm sorry" there will stop Microsoft from continuing to target the school systems.

    They are vicious, ruthless and come at you over and over again from different directions each time until your tired and will do anything to just make them go away. Be ever vigilent.
