2.0 GHz Opteron $810 each (model 246)
Newegg didn't have any dual Opteron motherboards. Their single CPU motherboard was $240.
Having been looking to put together a HTPC, that case looked awfully familiar. My guess that it is just an EPIA (mini-ATX) system that you can buy, already assembled, for around US$400. And that is for a 1GHz C3 processor, otherwise the system would cost about US$350.
Why does the transfer of the electonic version of the song need to be free? Considering the (realtively) small amount of time it would be used (less than 0.0001% of sales) , I can easily see the cost of the transfer being $2-5 per song. Transfer accepted, but not cost effective.
Just for giggles, I did a search for "SCO" and you wouldn't believe what I found at the #1 "Featured Site":

If you don't mind spending money, go an try out SageTV. I purhcased the software (about US$60) and have a dedicated PC with two Hauppauge PVR-250 encoder cards installed (and a third on the way). With this system you can have up to four PVR-250s in tha same box, and multiple PCs all slaved together in one big "recorder farm." They have a bundle where you can get the software with a PVR-250 for US$175. Not a bad deal.
It doesn't require a subscription-based service and works with XMLTV if you don't have coverage for your area (such as overseas or Iowa, as in my case).
The current auto manufactureres are already the "Dell of automobiles." They give you a selection of options (color, radio, interior, etc.) and you can choose what you want. If you want something for which they don't have a configuration then you don't get it (go ahead and try to get a real Windows CD from Dell, I dare you) or it costs you more than it should.
What the heck is IBM paying them for - to take their time, do their research, make sure they present facts not just heresay or inuendo, and generally make sure the issue is understood completely before they talk about it?
If they are paying the contract engineers for the overtime, talk with the contracting house to see if they need more people. You would be very valuable to the contracting house as someone who knows the product and could command a very pretty penny.
It seems as if SCO has a couple of more problems. First, it seems that they showed someone their evidence without an NDA. Second, they have been given notice by a Linux Kernel Hacker. Its one thing to sue IBM, but it is another to have to defend yourself from claims by hundreds of kernel hackers. Heck, the legal footwork alone will be expensive.
You don't have to replace your entire system with OSS solutions, you can focus on your most expensive pieces. If you will be needing to purchase an office productivity suite then maybe you should look at OpenOffice.org. For database management, maybe MySQL or postgreSQL are options.
Once you have experience with working with OSS solutions then expanding your use won't be so hard to justify.

Actually, since "graphics-related things" are all matrix operations, this would turn the GPU into a high-end vector (matrix) engine.
Is it just me, or does he look amazingly like Ted Kazinsky? Coincidence?
and this was their response:
We detect that homepage.mac.com is running Apache/1.3.27 (Darwin).
but with this caveat
Note:
No matter what the above results show, this company may be running Microsoft IIS and protecting its Web server identity with ServerMask.
Nope, no bias there.
That statement from Darl will probably come back to haunt him. If, for some odd reason, SCO wins against IBM, what kind of damages would that suggest?

These alone will put you back $1860.
"Dude! What do you think of that drummer!"
You are right, it is a mini-ITX. I've been making too many systems lately.
Having been looking to put together a HTPC, that case looked awfully familiar. My guess that it is just an EPIA (mini-ATX) system that you can buy, already assembled, for around US$400. And that is for a 1GHz C3 processor, otherwise the system would cost about US$350.
According to the Merriam-Webster OnLine Dictionary we discover:
dynamic : 2 a : marked by usually continuous and productive activity or change (a dynamic city)
operating: 4 : to follow a course of conduct that is often irregular (crooked gamblers operating in the club)
company : 2 a : a group of persons or things (a company of horsemen)
So, they are a bunch of crooks that continually attack others. That wasn't so hard now, was it?

Unless you are behind a firewall, use PuTTY. It is a nice little telnet/ssh client for Windows.
Or, more likely, time to start buying that SCO stock you have been shorting.

/me sits back and waits for people to start making fun of his name.....
You mean simething like: "Can you imagine a Bainwol cluster of these?"

Ya. That's what SCO's lawyers are for.
Hopefully this won't turn into a Scene from Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. "But I'm not dead yet!"
You need a license. Duck season, wabbit season, spammer season...

Don't you mean "details at chapter11?"

To date, SCO has signed new licensing deals with two companies. One is Microsoft; the other has not been identified.
Could the other one also be Microsoft? Just thinking.
