I'm sorry to say it, but Americans as a group are a bunch of lazy retards. They will maybe complain about this over a beer but I bet that would be it. I mean, non-stop telemarketing calls should be annoying enough, in my opinion.
Please, don't take this as a flame. My comrades and I aren't much different, just a little bit luckier (until we get annexed). I'm saying this as a Canadian, of course.
I think you're missing the point. Even if the infringing part is replaced, where's the guaranty that this kind of crap won't come up again? Everyone on/. may know that it's impossible, but the PHB has to do risk assesment...
Besides, fine you've replaced all the SCO's code in the codebase. But you still have to upgrade virtually every single Linux installation in the world. You may be able to upgrade servers and workstations but embedded devices... you're screwed.
So, in summary, the risk of paying for potentially dozen of licenses or for upgrading everything you've got/released so far is going to put linux back into the GeekOS category.
For Kid A radiohead had pretty much no advertising (i think, the only thing i've seen for it was a blip on MM), no singles, no videos and a small concert tour (no big arenas, at each place they were setting up a tent). And the thing still got to #1 like in a day, i think.
"used unique only to Linux technical and architectural concepts" -- umm, no. lindows (and wine) just implement windows api on linux. They don't do it in the same way as windows. For one, in windows (well, nt based things, at least) gui code is in the kernel -- have you seen wine kernel module?...
Besides, ms whines not about code/tech concepts but about the freaking name.
you're way off base here

... I've noticed that myself and others have a different notion of when the printer's finished with the page than the printer itself.
Polar regions, i guess
Yeah, imagine what would happen if Linus didn't protect his trademark...
Better, yet: linux bullshit.
From dictionary.com:
... ouch, that's brutal.

To disable by cutting the tendons of the hock; hamstring.
Or, there's a nicer one: to pawn.

Mmm, what's a network then?
I'm sorry, but I would call it "cross-platform migration utility" when it can compile natively on Windows.
Btw, why does it not still? Is there any good technical reason?

Talk about quality/fan base...
Opera had this kind of feature since version 5 at least...
though yes, it's a neat little thing
So they know how to please you... big deal... every whore does...
