PS. Worms and viruses aren't really like their corresponding biological entities, despite the name.
They can be, if someone happens to reverse-engineer the worm, decipher the code, rewrite it, and then re-release it into the world. Bam - mutation has occured.

I can safely say that it's only our "Partners" (*cough* overseas *cough*) that are using scripts.
Had you talked to one of the techs in our call center, they would've replaced the NIC (or DMC would've replaced the MOBO).
See one of my other comments about the Dell Diags...
I understand the kid is getting a pretty good deal out of the whole thing, but principle...

If it were me, I would've told them to stick it, and to take me to court - there's not a judge in the planet that would've accepted their arguments.
I think what the author was trying to say is "What do they [SCO Investors] know that we don't?".
I agree that the case SCO is making is rediculous, and frankly, I think they'll lose. The question, though, is there something that they could/would/can pull in court, that would make them money?
As we all know, just because everyone knows your wrong, doesn't mean the court will agree with you.

Anyone know where I can get a copy of some of these old books?
I used to check them out from the library, but they don't seem to carry them anymore, at least not here at my local one.
Actually, according to the CNN article, it wasn't a patent issue...
The brothers in question were running an advertising company from their home, with whom X-10 contracted to do their advertising, and then X-10 refused to pay their bill.
So, no patent issue involved, only a customer's failure to pay their bill for a service.

Actually, Kerry would only need to win 54% of the outstanding provisionall ballots in Ohio - approx. 134,000 - which is entirely possible.
Do the math.

Don't think we can, since it's only affecting (or appears to be - I'm sure it'll mutate soon) users of certain software - that's not made by M$..
I figured as much.
Our "Partners" overseas don't necessarily have actual computers infront of them - and thus no access to our diagnostic database, Knowledge Base, etc.
I hear about it everyday and spend all my time cleaning up messes at work *sigh*
Dell Engineering is set to release much more accurate diagnostics sometime in 2004, probably late Summer, early Fall.
These diagnostics will do a much better job of detecting specific hardware failures, especially with RAM.

ROTFLMAO Hadn't thought of that one...
What happens if they burn up on re-entry?
