Hmm... Laura DiDio, the "analyst" that signed the NDA and commented on the similarities of the disputed code is quoted in here.
What's the connection?
Lauro DiDio, an analyst with the Yankee Group, said it is obvious that in Yarro, the torch has been successfully passed from the mentoring hand of Noorda.
"In his day, Ray Noorda was very forward-thinking, able to focus in on the trees and yet still see the forest and beyond," she says. "He had a public persona as a sort of svelt Santa Claus, but behind closed doors, Ray really knew now to wheel and deal. He could be ruthless when he had to be."
SCO Media Statement Re IBM Counterclaims
LINDON, Utah, Aug 07, 2003 -- We view IBM's counterclaim filing today as an effort to distract attention from its flawed Linux business model. It repeats the same unsubstantiated allegations made in Red Hat's filing earlier this week. If IBM were serious about addressing the real problems with Linux, it would offer full customer indemnification and move away from the GPL license. As the stakes continue to rise in the Linux battles, it becomes increasingly clear that the core issue is bigger than SCO (Nasdaq: SCOX), Red Hat, or even IBM. The core issue is about the value of intellectual property in an Internet age. In a strange alliance, IBM and the Free Software Foundation have lined up on the same side of this argument in support of the GPL. IBM urges its customers to use non- warranted, unprotected software. This software violates SCO's intellectual property rights in UNIX, and fails to give comfort to customers going forward in use of Linux. If IBM wants customers to accept the GPL risk, it should indemnify them against that risk. The continuing refusal to provide customer indemnification is IBM's truest measure of belief in its recently filed claims.
Regarding Patent Accusations
SCO has shipped these products for many years, in some cases for nearly two decades, and this is the first time that IBM has ever raised an issue about patent infringement in these products.
Furthermore, these claims were not raised in IBM's original answer.
SCO reiterates its position that it intends to defend its intellectual property rights. SCO will remain on course to require customers to license infringing Linux implementations as a condition of further use. This is the best and clearest course for customers to minimize Linux problems.
A few years ago I set up a network monitoring system (WhatsUp) and decided it would be useful to send emails to my cell phone.
I don't remember the exact details but the first night it kicked in it sent a flood of roughly 9000 messages.
That was a customer service call to remember. Imagine a AT&T rep going though the text message "help script" as I'm trying to explain that all those messages are queued up on their server.
I was happy I payed a flat rate on the messaging service...
"if you have connected your PC (laptop) to external power, you have disabled your phone line, (while) simultaneously being connected to a grounded peripheral, and you are touching a metal part of the PC, and your phone rings"
Wait a minute, somebody told me that was the cheat code to get unlimited gold in Warcraft 3...
What do you mean? I always look for "value-added appendices" when shopping for books. More importantly, I never buy a book without value-added indices and tables of contents.
Keyboards are my personal revenge to the dumbass elementary school teachers that couldn't teach me to write left handed correctly.
You've condemned me to a life time of smearing ink/pencil stuff all over my pinky finger.
Good-riddance.

Oh yeah.... that explains everything. Like that documentary footage where I saw the cheetah do the stand-up routine just before he took a mouthful out of that gazelle's neck....
That defeats one positive aspect of the current "change of address" system. 3rd class mail (read junk mail) does not get forwarded to the new address. Your system would be a kin to keeping a spam-plagued email address forever.

I stopped using Spamcop when they struck a deal to send data to Cyveillance. Is that going to end?
Damn... At RIT, the only time I ever used paper to register was my first semester with my advisor at orientation.
After that, it was all electronic. That was 1995.
Its was on a VAX until 97-98ish, though. Web registration replaced it.

I sent him a note 5 minutes ago.
Yep, SCO respects IP.... Eric Levenez states on his website. "You can freely use this diagram for non-commercial purpose. "
Sorry if someone already posted this... I didn't see it in my skimming. It took me a while to find the exact press release, but here it is: http://ir.sco.com/ReleaseDetail.cfm?ReleaseID=1157 25

Let's just start calling it "the internet."
I prefer "Information Superhighway". Its like an interstate but its super and it has information.
I'm reminded of a Fox Trot comic from a few weeks back.
I got a better one, sans any coding:

I work in a development-oriented division so sightings of linux boxes isn't that surprising.
However, I get my satisfaction when someone comes to me and asks for help on running *insert non-RH distros*.
damn, should have previewed...ya parsed my "insert non-RH distro" as a html tag... Oh well, sorry.

mozilla.org and mozillafoundation.org resolve to the same address. Looks as though they are 2 virtual hosts almost mirroring* each other.
What's the big deal?
*Links to builds and such go to mozilla.org, while more PR type stuff seems to hosted at mozillafoundation.org.
