... its not very appealing to trolls. Their "work" will be erased within minutes and viewed by almost no one. No point for them, especially when there are much easier places to peddle their smut.
Ah, okay. Well, it *is* possible that the nameservers weren't changed until after there site was knocked out. But I see now that your point is that SCO.com hasn't mentioned that they took themselves out of DNS and may be trying to hide this fact.
I'll guess we'll see today or tomorrow if they bring this up.
SCO has updated their dns servers and axed the record for www.sco.com. NXDOMAIN means no such domain. Wonder why SCO didn't announce that they themselves took www.sco.com completely offline.
Hopefully the media will know about this when SCO complains about the DDOS attack. Now I know why the rest of their services are fairly intact and responding.
Well, I don't see what's wrong here (unless SCO wrote the virus). It makes a lot more sense to take your name out of DNS than to have your servers being hammered all day.
In fact, it's probably helping out everybody on the Internet because if everybody infected with MyDooom can't resolve sco.com they can't attack SCO.com, which would slow down the entire Internet.
I'm not sure that even matters. If the GPL is invalid then there are lots of other SCO/Caldera contributions in addition to this one.
And besides, since the lawsuit is against IBM (which is hard to remember sometimes after reading so much FUD from Darl) they can't say that IBM put that code in Linux since there is a record of SCO/Caldera contributing it.
Or maybe they didn't accept the story because there was already patches available:)
Yeah, it's biased. And it's sad. I would actually like to know when remote exploits are found in Linux programs that I use, instead of all the Microsoft programs that I don't use (and nobody should be using because Microsoft doesn't make fixes for their software). Oh well, time to emerge gaim.
Slashdot Mirror
Whether it's true or not, that's the first thing that came to my mind, too.
On the other hand, this signature could be a fake.
That's pretty rude. You're gonna make them figure out the second half of the URL on their own?
I totally agree. If I made a comment like your first one and got replies like you did I would get the hell out.
I wouldn't want to contribute to something just know I'm gonna get flamed for it (correct or not).
I certainly hope that the rest of Wikipedia isn't like this and that you've just had a bad experience.
Like slashdot, apparently.
Offtopic?? I don't think people without senses of humour should be allowed to have mod points.
SCO's doing?
I'm sure this announcement is at least partly resulted from SCO. It's pisses me off that SCO has to fuck up everybody else businesses, too.
Or this could be unrelated to SCO.. No mention of SCO in the article, but I don't think it's something one would make known.
Well, that's almost what my sig is. I wonder which it is.
The site at http://www.twainquotes.com/Reform.html has it listed as both, and it also has the source (Notebook, 1904). I wonder which it is?Ah, okay. Well, it *is* possible that the nameservers weren't changed until after there site was knocked out. But I see now that your point is that SCO.com hasn't mentioned that they took themselves out of DNS and may be trying to hide this fact.

I don't understand what you're complaining about.
PS. I'm not pro-SCO.
I'm not sure that even matters. If the GPL is invalid then there are lots of other SCO/Caldera contributions in addition to this one.

Yes! I've been saying this for years!
You're right, he is thinking of The Snorks.. which is probably why he mentioned it in the post you just replied to.
First off, this is a display driver that was just released, not the nForce drivers.
Secondly, I moved to 2.6.1 a few weeks ago and my hard drive speeds are fine:
Here's my hdparm settings. Perhaps yours got messed up somehow?
I'm not sure what they all mean, but I'll past them all anyway. I think the first four are the ones you want to take a look at:
Has anybody seen the movie Armageddon?
Is this supposed to be some sort of sick joke? Let's just hope this doesn't mean the world is coming near its end.
Please mod me down.
Thank you for your time.
That's strange, my filename is shown as ie.{3050f4d8-98B5-11CF-BB82-00AA00BDCE0B}Secunia_I nternet_Explorer%2Epdf.htm
under Firebird 0.7 on Windows.

Of course it requires a 12 volt car battery. Imagine wearing that around your neck.
He did. I'm at work now running 2.6.1 and seems like it takes forever just to switch between tasks.
Oh wait.. I run Linux at home. I use Win NT here at work. My bad. Move along.
Damn, it feels good to be a gangster.
From the article:
Emphasis mine. Uhh.. how about when you prove to us that it, in fact, exists by SHOWING US WHERE THE FUCK IT IS!
Actually, good patents are an exception to the rule that all patents are bogus, baseless "inventions".
Go SCO!
Let's hope SCO can pull of this lawsuit it has against IBM and drive IBM into the ground.
PS: I've not yet decided if this is a sarcastic remark.
Or you could join up with Mike Rowe and create MikeRoweSoftWinDowes.com
This way you can violate two trademarks with just one domain name!
Took me like 15 seconds to figure out that "The He-Man Women Haters Club" was from Little Rascals.
Of course I read the topic after that.
